Bilbao, Spain - from Dec 2023 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
Hi!
We are Raúl and Paulieke, 30 and 31 years old and about to move to Spain. We're going there blanco, so, we're looking for a place where we can help, work and learn and simultaneously look for a more permanent job and our own place to live.
We have the best travelcompanion in the world, our eight year old dog Fygo. He is the sweetest dog in the world, but we're biased ofcourse. He is energetic and up for any adventure. He can be cheeky, but is very flexible and he listens to anyone (even better when you have a treat). He is amazing with kids, can be a little shy towards other animals and may have to decide who's boss if there is another male dog (never bites!).
We are tidy, social, indipendent, active and reliable.
Raúl is solution oriented, handy and recently got his MBA (Master of Business) so can help out with the business side of things, but doesn't shy away from getting his hands dirty either.
Paulieke is a specialised youth nurse (non hospital, ages 0-4). She loves to be around animals and outdoors.
