Description
My name is Oier and I'm 28 years old originary from Vitoria, basque country. I live in a land I bought last year in Tinajo, Lanzarote with my 2 dogs and 3 cats, where I grow food, while learning about permaculture and enjoying the life on the island. In this moment I'm working as paraglider assistant. I love to make and listen music, the sea, the Plants, doing sport in the nature and having good moments and experiencies with people. Always learning and discovering new things. Ask me if you want to know something more about me.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will live in a land near a village but at the same time far from other people, in the middle of the nature with views to the ocean. The idea is that you can help me in some tasks, but I'm really doing this for knowing people from other places of the world and share my passion about plants, nature and music. I can teach you some spanish, music and agriculture learnings.
Help
There are lot of things to do, but most of them are related with agriculture or construction. Digging the land, plant trees and plants, water them, make walls for protecting the trees.... There are also other things to do in the buildings that are in the land as paint walls/rooms, improve the House/garden decoration.... And also related with the House day by day tasks as cooking, cleaning, going for a walk with the dogs... And some more you can propose

I speak spanish, english, basque and little of portuguese, I would like to improve this last one or learn another one and Happy to teach the ones I know :)
Accommodation
The idea is that you only work about 10-15 hours per week, so what I offer is free acommodation and only free food of the vegetables we grow in the land. you have to contribute a little with the weekly shopping (about 30-50€ per week), or buy your own food.
We have a room for 3 guests with one big bed and another small bed.
We are just finishing a new big room that can host two more people.
What else ...
You are 50 minutes walking from the sea where the are some natural pools, 25-30 minutes walking from the center of the village (tinajo). I work in a paragliding company so I move a lot around the island, so you can come with me and watch other places. I also like going to the beach on my free time or to do some outdoor Sports, so I can give you rides on car almost every day. Nearest bus stop is around 25-30 minutes walking.
