Description
🔴 Read carefully that I need, please🔴
🔊Verbal communication will take place in Spanish, Italian or Danish🔊
Hi everyone, my name is Anna and I am 60 years old. I am Italian but I have been living for several years in Denmark and during the past 10 years I have been living on la Palma also called "La isla bonita".
I recently moved to a "finca", a rustic property, where I am currently creating my off- grid little home and it is a place that I would like to share with other people that are interested in the same lifestyle as mine.
I live in a small wooden house and I also have a caravan and a van where I host friends, family and from now on I want to receive volunteers as well. I have a friendly dog that also lives on the property.
The property is 2500 m2, there are several fruit trees which I planted recently, 5 big pine trees and a stunning view of the surrounding mountains.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
I am expecting volunteers to work around 5 hours pr day, 5 days a week and in return I offer accommodation and most food that you can cook on your own in the small kitchen which is inside the caravan.
During the winter month is temperature can be quite cold since we are at around 800 m from the sea level. Keep that in mind if you want to come during the winter.
Keep also in mind that the nearest bus stop is 1 km away from the property, while the nearest town is "El Paso", which is 3 km away.
It's important that you no smoke

Help
I would like help with several small projects and depending on your skills you can help me which project you is best ::
*The FIRST help I really need is someone who knows how to camper the van, not for traveling but to create an extra "room". someone who has already done it or who has very clear ideas/skills*
The SECOND is:
It would be great if you have experience with building/creating with pallets! One of my plans is also to create an outdoor space for cooking.
If you are more of an arty person and you have good ideas on how I could make my place more colourful then you could be a perfect fit!
Do you enjoy the reward of hard work? You can have fun moving a few rocks for me, there are plenty of them in my property....hard work could also include to cut wood that I will be using during the winter months.
Another task would be available when I am not in on la Palma. The task would be to take care of my dog and watering the plants around the property. I will write in my profile when I am planning to travel so volunteers can sign up for house/dog sitting while I am away.

Accommodation
At the moment I can host 1 person that can sleep in the caravan where there is a 2m x 1,40m bed (or to beds 1,80x70 ) and a small kitchen with hot and cold water. The bathroom with shower is a few meters outside the caravan and you will be sharing it with me. The shower also have hot and cold water.
What else ...
La Palma is a popular destination for people who enjoy trekking/hiking and there are many hikes that you can do in your time off in the surrounding area. In 2021 there was a big eruption on la Palma that went all the way to the ocean and today you can walk where the lava passed by. If you prefer the beach, there is a beautiful beach in Tazacorte where you also can go whale watching.Or Los Cancajos near the island' capital
