Description
Hello. I'm a journalist, from Asturias, and a travel enthusiast. In 2023, I bought a house near my hometown after 20 years away.
I've done WorkAway in various countries, including my hometown, Asturias, and I think it would be great to have someone supporting me at my home in central Asturias.
The Asturian Mining Region is a place with a very interesting history, with many traditional culture and events and also many bars restaurants and 'sidrerías' at good prices. It's well connected by car and public transport to the rest of Asturias, and the people are very friendly and talkative.
It's not a touristy place, but it's one of the places I'd love to visit when I travel.

Hola. Soy periodista, asturiana y amante de los viajes y en 2023 me compré una casa cerca de mi pueblo tras 20 años fuera
He hecho WorkAway en diversos países, en mi tierra, Asturies, también y creo que sería estupendo el apoyo de alguien en mi casa en el centro de Asturies.
La Cuenca Minera asturiana es un sitio con una historia muy interesante, con muchos bares y restaurantes de siempre y sidrerías a buenos precios, bien conectada en coche y en transporte público con el resto de Asturies y donde la gente es muy amable y habladora.
Es un lugar poco turístico pero que sería de los sitios que a mí me encantaría conocer cuando viajo

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I've traveled extensively and lived in many countries, and I'm used to share home with many different people. In fact, I love it. I can help you learn about Asturian culture, enjoy your free time getting to know the region and the area, and help you with the Spanish and Asturian languages if you're learning.
=========
He viajado mucho y vivido en muchos países y estoy acostumbrada a convivir con personas. De hecho me encanta. Te puedo ayudar s conocer la cultura asturiana, a que disfrutes el tiempo libre conociendo bien la región y la zona y ayudarte con el idioma español y asturiano si estás aprendiendo
Help
I have to reorganize rooms in my house, move furniture around, paint a large room that used to be a tailor's shop and will be a cultural space in the future, and get the garden up and running for the summer. In the mornings I work from home, and it would be perfect to work together in the afternoons to reorganize and paint the house.

Tengo que reorganizar estancias de mi casa, cambiar muebles de lugar, pintar una gran sala que era una antigua sastrería y que será un espacio cultural en el futuro y poner en marcha el huerto de cara al verano
Por las mañanas trabajo, desde casa, y sería perfecto trabajar juntas en las tardes en la reorganización y pintura de la casa.

Accommodation
I live in a house in an Asturian village. It's very spacious. For the Workawayer, there would be a room with everything you need (a large bed, chest of drawers, and a window) on the same floor as my own. We'd have to share the kitchen, bathroom, living room, terrace, and garden.
Breakfast and one lunch are included in the plan. There's food in the kitchen and refrigerator. We can cook together or eat whatever we want. There's no meat. I haven't eaten meat in years, and the smell is unpleasant.
=========
Vivo en una casa en un pueblo asturiano. Para el Workawayer habría un cuarto con todo lo necesario ( cama grande, cajonera... y con ventana) en la misma planta donde yo vivo. Tendríamos que compartir cocina, baño, sala y la terraza y el jardín.
El desayuno y una comida del día están incluídos en el proyecto. Hay comida en la cocina y la nevera. Podemos hacer esa comida cocinando conjuntamente o cads una comiendo lo que quiera. Solo no hay carne. No como carne desde hace años y el olor me resulta desagradable.
What else ...
If you are in a rush to join a project, rather look to something else. I have a lot of work and things to do in general, so for new guests of WorkAway I appreciate at least to organize calmly between a week or 10 days before the arrival.
My village is 1,5 km away from a main town. There are few buses to get there on the day and the path is beautiful, by walk. In the main town there are trains and buses to connect with the main cities of Asturias, very often during the day. By road is very well connected.

Can host digital nomads
Wifi works very well and you can have a nice place where to sit with nice views while doing your job. I do myself work from home with my laptop, everyday from Monday to Friday
Space for parking camper vans
There is a big parking lot in front of my house. It is not an official place for caravans but I had friends staying there for weeks and no problem. It is a calm village where neighbours would never complain. They are very welcoming.
Can possibly accept pets
Yes, I love pets and around there are paths in the nature where dogs can happily walk. I love cats myself.
