  Descripción

  I am now a widow spending months in Greece in the summer. My house, in a small Greek village, is cool and spacious, with a very large garden, 5mins from lots of beautiful, unspoiled non-touristy beaches and 25 miles from Thessaloniki. I just call it 'paradise'! But I need help with maintenance - one son and family live in Greece, but are just too busy to help much.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Time spent in a 'real' Greek village will provide a real insight into the culture, way of life, cuisine and, maybe, even the language. Cultural activities arre reduced in the summer when the weather is hot, but there are plenty of tourist attractions in the area and the city of Thessaloniki is only 30k away. And there are the beaches! I have lived here for 40 years, and so know the way of life and language well.

  Ayuda

  I need someone withpractical skills for a variety of indoor and outdoor jobs - maintaining,repairing. problem solving, creating.. some jobs are straightforward (eg varnishing shutters), others require some skill with tools and a Heath Robinson approach! I am happy to share tasks - maybe learn how to use a drill or saw - but equally happy to keep out of the way!
  Ideally, jobs will be easier and more fun if Workawayers were 2 friends or a couple.

  Algo más...

  Shared use of car ( clean driving licence essential). There is a regular bus service to local towns/villages and the city. No public transport to most beaches, so driving is essential.
  No nightlife except in the city, so a liking for cards or board games is an advantage.
  Internet available but not for streaming. Very limited English language TV - but loads of books!
