Description
I, 34, live with my boyfriend, 45, our 3yo son, our 2 dogs and our cat in the countryside, 2km from a tiny village by the sea, where I run a little guesthouse business. We have a lot of trees to water, fertilize and prune, and a tiny vegetable garden, but plenty of land. At the moment we need help mostly with
chores (hanging clothes, washing dishes, cooking (if you're decent at it :P)), dragging and cutting branches, moving storage stuff to another storage room, cleaning and painting walls, building wooden boxes for the vegetable garden, fertilizing trees, playing with the dogs and maybe a bit of babysitting, so it is important that you like children.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here you can experience the life in the countryside but also the lively little fishing village closeby, visit the local markets, visit different beautiful beaches, swim any time of the day, eat fish everyday, watch the stars and milky way at night, walk the cliffs, ...
We'll be living in the same house and sharing meals, that's when we probably will find the time to talk and get to know each other
You should enjoy working alone too, as I will not always be able to help, and maybe there is no other volunteers at the moment.

Help
We have a big pile of tree and bush cuttings from which I want to take as much good wood as possible for the fireplace next winter. The means we need help sorting branches and cutting them with scissors/manual saw into smaller sticks.
we need mostly pruning, babysitting, washing mold off of walls, cleaning, cooking, and little repairings and decoration in the house, appart from basic help with house chores like setting the table, cooking, dishwashing, hanging clothes, vacuuming
