    Description

    Hello, it's a pleasure to greet you. My name is Zahara, I'm a 43-year-old Spanish woman. I live on the island of Tenerife, a beautiful place, in a fishing village by the sea. The Laurisilva Mountains are a few kilometers away, and we're also close to the capital. It's a simple and humble village; everyone knows each other and we all go our own way.
    I'm a mother of three children, ages 12, 17, and 20. Everything is fine, we're happy, but I like living with others. Sharing my life with more people makes me happy and inspires me to be a better person and more active.
    We have a nice, modest house with sea views, but it's surrounded by stairs. You have to be a dynamic and agile person to be happy here. We don't have a garden; the house doesn't have land, but it does have a large rooftop terrace.

    I'm looking for someone to help me create a shaded area on the rooftop, using wood and natural and recycled materials (if possible). I also need the house painted and a plant area created. I'm creating a home to share and live in, always with a nice project in mind.
    I enjoy practicing yoga, reading, meditating, going to the mountains and the beach, singing... I'm always doing things at home or working on projects outside. Right now, I'm a bit stuck due to some changes, but I'm still very connected to my abilities and I know I can keep moving forward if I set my mind to it.
    I'm opening my home to someone who would like to spend some time here and live with us. An active, independent, and happy person who wants to share their life here for a while, who enjoys a peaceful life, and who would like to spend time with family, contributing their knowledge and experience to others open to growth and living together.
    We have unlimited internet access.
    Smoking is not allowed here, and we don't drink alcohol.
    We have two cats with us.

    Hola, encantada de saludarte. Me llamo Zahara, soy mujer española de 43años. Vivo en la isla de Tenerife, un lugar precioso, en un pueblo de pescadores junto al mar, las Montañas de Laurisilva están a algunos km y también estamos cerca de la capital. Es un pueblo sencillo y humilde, todos nos conocemos y todos vamos a nuestro aire.
    Soy madre de 3 hijos de 12, 17 y 20 años, todo está bien, somos felices, pero me gusta vivir en compañía, compartir mi vida con más personas me hace feliz y me inspira a ser mejor persona y a ser más activa.
    Tenemos una casa bonita y humilde, con vistas al mar, pero rodeada de escaleras, tienes que ser una persona dinámica y ágil para ser feliz aquí, no tenemos jardín, la casa no tiene terreno, pero sí una gran azotea.
    Busco alguien que me ayude a crear una zona de sombra en la azotea, con madera y elementos naturales y reciclados( si es posible encontrar). También tengo que pintar la Casa y crear una zona de plantas.
    Estoy creando un@ casa para compartir y vivir, con algún proyecto bonito en mente siempre.
    A mi me gusta practicar yoga, leer, meditar, ir al Monte y a la playa, cantar,...Siempre estoy haciendo cosas en casa o proyectos en la calle, ahora mismo estoy algo bloqueada por algunos cambios, pero sigo muy conectada con mis capacidades y sé que puedo seguir avanzando si me lo propongo.
    Abro mi casa a alguien que le apetezca pasar aquí un tiempo y convivir con nosotros. Una persona activa, independiente y feliz que quiera compartir su vida un tiempo aquí, que le guste la vida tranquila y que le apetezca convivir un tiempo en familia, aportando su conocimiento y experiencia a otras personas abiertas a crecer y convivir.
    Tenemos acceso a internet ilimitado.
    No se puede fumar aquí, tampoco bebemos alcohol.
    Tenemos dos gatos con nosotros.
    Un saludo.
