Descripción
Having lived in the UK for 38 years in 2016 I moved to Spain to begin a new life in sunny Costa del Sol. Leaving the UK was very challenging because I had to start all over without my partner of 20 years. I made this decision to regain my health as I needed exposure to more hours of sunlight. Sometimes life presents us with hard choices. This was one of the hardest decisions I had to make and I chose my health.
Costa del Sol is bathed by the see, blessed by many hours of sunlight and an abundance of olive, avocados and mango trees. The house is situated in a rural area surrounded by olive fields. You will enjoy fresh air, silence and peace yet you will have easy access to two lively pueblos. I live with four adorable cats: Simba, Sheeba, Mona and Phoenix and very close by the highest mountain in the area, la Maroma. If you enjoy nature you will love to explore Maroma's natural beauty. Being a practitioner of meditation for over 30 years my spiritual life is rich and deep hence my choice to live very close to nature.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

The pueblo of Alcaucin is one hour's drive from Malaga. The house is close to amenities however, they are not within walking distance so you will need a car or a motorbike to travel. The white pueblo of Alcaucin is 6 minutes drive from the property and the picturesque pueblo of Vinuela with its white-washed buildings and beautiful turquoise water lake is ten minutes drive from the house. Both pueblos have supermarkets, banks, pharmacy, restaurantes, cafes and a health care center open 24 hours seven days week. If you are interested in learning more about Spanish culture, cuisine, religious traditions and fiestas, customs, language and the relaxed Andalusian way of life then this is the place for you. Andalusia is one of the most culturally rich areas of Spain. A large international community of ex-pats English, German, Belgium, Dutch live here. If you like socialising you will love interacting with them.

Have been a host for four people since joining this community. Three of them were homeless. They did not have a home of their own and relied on this site to find the next host to have a roof over their heads. I am happy to host anyone who is willing to stay for two to three weeks maximum but no longer than that. I am also happy to host people who are clear about this site's policy, namely, that there is a requirement to contribute 4 to 5 hours of daily work. This is a social exchange site which has a clear policy. Please be sure you understand the terms before applying to be my guest.
You are reliable, honest, trustworthy, responsible, not shy of work, and have a hands on approach to tasks like cooking, cleaning, gardening, painting and decorating. I would also welcome hosts who have good knowledge of Mac computers and computers skills. I want to learn to use my MacBook Air laptop more efficiently as there are many features that are underused. I am keen to learn the keyboard from those of you who have musical talents. There is a keyboard in the house. A good sense of humour is an asset. You are definitely a non smoker. The house is a smoke free zone in and out. The property is surrounded by a small garden. Weeding, watering plants and pots will be required. There is an irrigation system to help with this task. There is also a small vegetable plot that needs tending.
Please do not apply to stay as my guest if you are looking for a place to chill out and not contribute 5 hours work daily. While I welcome you as my guest I believe it to be fair that you contribute to the hospitality your are being offered. If you are not in agreement with this site's policy, please do not email me.Idiomas hablados
