Enjoy countryside life and help to turn my new house into a home near Granada, Spain

  Description

  After five years of backpacking around the world, I’ve decided to set my bags down in a tiny village just north of Granada. I’m excited to embrace the quiet countryside life, and I’m looking for a bit of help to turn my new house into a proper Spanish home.
  
  Tasks include light gardening, help around the house, etc. If you enjoy cooking, go nuts. We can make that part of the help. Especially if you've picked up some local dishes. It's all about the cultural exchange, after all.
  
  I used to live in London, I work remotely running a healthcare company so don’t have a huge amount of time to do this stuff myself. I smoke weed all the live-long day, so you need to be ok with that.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  There's some really beautiful hikes around here. It's quiet, endless rolling hills and olive groves. The local people are very warm and friendly.
  
  Granada is a half-hour bus ride away. The place has everything. Fascinating cultural history to scenic walks to a mad nightlife. Flamenco on the plazas in the summer nights, delish tapas, great bars.
  
  I've been a WorkAwayer and all the rest. Really helped me keep on the road for so long. Got far with it. Happy to share shoestring travel experiences round the campfire. I'd love to hear any recommendations for places to go around Spain in particular, I've yet to explore it properly.

  Help

  I'm new in the house, so need some general maintenance help and decluttering and the like. There may be some gardening to do, I wanna plant flowers around the pool and patio. Need to clear lots of space around the house. Maybe some light painting outside. Some cooking would be awesome.
  
  You'll be in charge of preparing your own meals. I'll keep your apartment stocked, you cook as you please. We bbq a couple of times a week, you're more than welcome to join.

  What else ...

  Local bus runs to Granada every couple of hours until like 15:00, last one back 19:00. The bus stop is a 40-minute walk down a country lane. Hilly. Great views. By the bus stop there is an ATM, a convenience store, a tobacconist, etc.
  
  You’re very welcome to hitch a ride if I’m going anywhere.
  
  Some of the hikes will take you to the most incredible views. Within an hour you'll be staring at the Sierra Nevada. Other way gives views of the heart of Andalusia, with all the olives you can imagine. Both spectacular.
