Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I work in an adventure park (it's 15km away), you can visit it.
I learned many things about the plants and people there and would love to share my experiences.
Help
There is a lot of different type of works to do around the house and the forest. Working around the olive trees, clearing the forest, imagining and arranging new spaces for the workaways, cooking for everyone and daily chores as well, obviously. You'll get a good chance to learn about different tools and how to use them, and if you come up with a nice idea for the place, I'd be more than happy to help you set it up.
This year we are renovating the house and the ruin on our property as well as extending the gardens and planting permaculture gardens. We need artists to help with mosaics, murals and foraging guides, people who are handy with tools to help build benches, pergolas, decks and fences, plant lovers to help maintain the forest, paths and gardens and even climbers to help with our zip line and multi layer treenet projects.

Accommodation
ALL MEALS PROVIDED
With my work I don't always have time to cook, so if the workaways can take care of it that'd be a huge help for me, if you need anything I go through town often, and we can arrange.
There is a guest room with four beds, the bathroom is shared and the kitchen is shared., we'd love to set up a new one outside for the workaways if you're interested in working on that.
There is plenty of rooms for tents or campervans, if you don't have any of those, make sure to let me know in your message so I can tell you if we have enough beds available. The weather is generally pretty great.
What else ...
we are 10 km from the first town, preferably if you have a car but we can arrange a ride from the train station if you need. There are lots of beaches, hikes and walls to climb in the area for your days off.
