  Welcome to Our Family Country House in Beautiful La Garrotxa
  We are a warm, nature-loving family of five living in a recently refurbished country house near Olot, nestled in one of the most beautiful regions of Catalonia: La Garrotxa. Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, forested hills, and tranquil silence, our home is a peaceful sanctuary away from the city hustle.
  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 About Us
  Our family includes three children aged 13, 10, and 8. We follow homeschooling, offering a nurturing and creative environment. We're also accompanied by our extended animal family: two dogs, one cat, and three horses—and we plan to welcome chickens soon!
  We live a mostly vegetarian lifestyle, growing our own vegetables and preparing home-cooked meals. While our daily meals are vegetarian, we enjoy meat or fish during the weekends.
  🕰️ Our Daily Rhythm
  Weekdays start early around 6:30 am, with breakfast at 7:00 am.
  We feed the horses, tidy up the house, and begin homeschooling by 9:00 am.
  Lunch is at 1:00 pm, followed by some rest time.
  Afternoons are dedicated to study and music practice—piano, cello, and clarinet.
  Three days a week, our children attend the local public music school.
  We have dinner at 7:00 pm, keeping a peaceful and steady routine.
  👩‍🌾 Who Does What?
  Dad works from home as an HR consultant and is also involved in gardening, wood collection, and maintaining the surrounding land.
  Mom is fully dedicated to caring for the children, homeschooling, cooking, and managing the household.
  🌻 Help We Need
  We're looking for a Workawayer who enjoys nature, simplicity, and family life to help us 5 days a week for about 5 hours per day. Your main tasks would include:
  Working in the vegetable garden
  Collecting wood
  Helping feed and care for the horses and dogs
  General outdoor and house maintenance
  During weekends, you’ll usually work alongside the husband. Your two days off will be during the week. We also appreciate your contribution to light house chores, participating as a true member of the family.
  🏡 What We Offer
  A calm, nurturing environment immersed in nature
  Delicious, wholesome home-cooked meals
  The chance to learn about homeschooling, sustainable living, and animal care
  Time and space to reflect, play music, read, or just enjoy the peace of the countryside

  🌍 Language Exchange As part of the experience, we'd love for our children to become more familiar with English and German, both through listening and practicing in a natural, everyday setting with the Workawayer. In return, we're happy to share our knowledge of Catalan and Spanish, which are our native languages. This creates a beautiful opportunity for mutual language learning—whether through casual conversations, shared activities, or reading and playing together with the kids.

  Alojamiento

  Workawayers will have their own spacious private room in the same home where our family lives. We share all meals together, and we value these moments as a time to connect. After each meal, we all join in—including the kids—to help with cleaning and tidying up. Each morning, before beginning our homeschooling activities, we dedicate about 30 minutes to house chores as a family. This shared responsibility helps create a balanced and supportive rhythm in our home.

  We are located just 15 minutes by car from the bus station in Olot, which connects you to:
  The beach (approx. 1 hour)
  Barcelona (approx. 1.5 hours)
  The Pyrenees mountains (approx. 1 hour)
  
  We’re happy to offer rides to the Olot station when needed, so you can explore beautiful nearby spots such as Camprodon, Ripoll, Vallter, Setcases, and many others.
  
  On weekends, we usually spend time walking in nature, doing seasonal work in the garden or harvesting, general maintenance, and caring for the horses. You’re always welcome to join in—or to enjoy some quiet time in the countryside, read a book, go for a hike, or explore the region.

  💻 Remote Work & Personal Projects The husband works mainly from home and often has video conferences with clients and colleagues from different locations. That said, outside of working hours, Workawayers are welcome to use the office space for their own digital or creative projects. Alternatively, you're free to use your room as a personal workspace if you prefer more privacy or flexibility. We’re happy to support Workawayers who are remotely working, studying, or developing personal initiatives, as long as it fits within the rhythm of family life.
