  Description

  Hi, I'm David.
  I live off grid at the beach and am looking for one or two volunteers to come and stay to help get my land ready to become a dog sanctuary, and then subsequently, to help with the upkeep of the dogs.
  You will stay in a small caravan where you can hear the waves and sounds of nature all around you.
  The caravan has a double bed so it can accommodate a single person or it could be a couple or friends that don't mind sharing the bed.
  Most work at this point will be clearing the garden areas, checking the fence areas for holes and repairing them.
  Cutting trees back.
  General cleaning and preparing to get the place ready for the dogs.
  It's all pretty simple, outside work and all tools and equipment will be provided.
  
  TIMES.
  3-4 hours a day for 5 days a week then 2 days off.
  
  WHAT YOU WILL GET.
  A bed for sleeping.
  A kitchen for cooking.
  There is a dry composting toilet.
  A hot shower.
  Use of surfboards, we are 30 seconds from an amazing surfing beach.
  There are also guitars and bodyboards here for you to use. Fishing equipment.
  We are very uniquely situated here with he beach and ocean directly in front of the property.
  It's basic here being off grid, but comfortable if you enjoy that kind of thing.
  Everything is solar and battery powered so we ask that you do minimal electrical use over night, a laptop or phone would be fine overnight for movies or whatever though.
  If you like a lot of ultra modern comforts, it's probably not for you,
  The towns of Baleal and Ferrel are both just a 10 minute walk away with a bank, shops restaurants, bars and nightlife.
  
  I enjoy big talk rather than small, economics, geo-politics, evolution, science and nature, physics and the universe. I care about equality, enjoy reading and studying, am antifascist and a musician and surfer.
  
  Drop me a line with any questions. Thanks for reading.🫶
