Description

Hello!

We are a family of three: Mikhail, Maria, and our 3.5-year-old daughter Alexandra. In October, we want to make our dream come true by spending six months in La Palma.
Three years ago, we fell in love with the island, and since then we have only traveled there. This time, we would also like to step out of our comfort zone and try new things: living in a camper or tent, questioning our current habits and lifestyle, and above all, helping others with their projects.
Our daughter will be attending a school project in El Paso, which is why we are looking for something nearby.
We are very independent: we have a camper where we can live and cook, and we can take care of our own meals.
Maria is available about 5 hours per day to help with the necessary tasks. She is motivatied to help with garden, childcare and she is always happy to learn new skills.
Mikhail works remotely and can join and help in the evenings or during the weekends. He can help with IT, technology and maintenance.
We are looking forward to contributing, gaining new experiences, and connecting to new people en minds.

More details about your skills

Mikhail and I both grew up in houses with large gardens, where we helped our parents with planting, harvesting, and maintaining the home. Mikhail has always been passionate about astronomy, and Maria sees herself as a creative generalist: she finds other people’s talents and passions fascinating and enjoys talking about the meaning of things.
