Description
We are looking for two helpers!
We are a multicultural couple (Spanish/Italian) with a four year old kid, and we moved to Ilha das Flores, in the Azores. We just bought a property with sea view and we are starting a permaculture garden, a chicken coop, and some DIY house refit. Flores island, has been declared a "Biosohere Reserve" by the UNESCO because of the amazing landscapes, green mountains, volcanic lakes and waterfalls. But the main asset of this place, for us, is the social life:... Because the island hosts a nice international community of very active people growing their food, rising children, doing yoga, organizing dinners, playing music, repairing boats and building cabins... This is the quietest spot in Europe, but there is no way to get bored!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Animal Care
Farmstay help
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Beside having the opportunity to visit this amazing island, you will enjoy the relaxing sea views from our home and be part of our multicultural community: every week there are yoga classes, dance sessions, meetings and BBQs where you can join us if you wish so. Depending on your interests, you could learn how to do home-made soaps and cosmetics, eatable ferments, jams, a proper Spanish tortilla, or get initiated to the secrets of the Italian cuisine...

Help
We need a responsible, reliable, proactive and easy going person (but we preferd couples at this moment), who can take care of the house and the garden. During January, February we aren't here, so all the house it's for you, but we need responsible people.

What else ...
We are an open minded, nature lover couple from Barcelona: we used to travel by sailing boat, but now we are based in Flores waiting for our kid being grown enough to set sail again. We have little previous experience with work-away, but we are sure this can be a great win-win. Looking forward to meet you!
