*️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️ we currently look for an independent volunteer who can help 5hours a day with mainly house cleaning/household help, and mostly construction work ( little garden cleaning)as we have two small kids and expecting a third one in Sep, i am busy with them and also need some more rest with the pregnancy. Ivan is busy finishing the cavehouse and needs help there
Therefore we offer our beautiful yurt accommodation to kind, serious, working and autonomous volunteers who can carry heavy loads/or couples. The right candidate(s) will preferably have a car and work from 9.00 to 14.00 mainly helping Ivan with construction work (painting with chalk our cavehouses and concrete reinforcement of cavehouses *️we might have a car we can lend. this all need to be seen on site.
I am a yoga teacher and a nature lover. I live with my husband and my two kids (3year old and 1year old)l in a big and beautiful off the grid finca in Tenerife 15 minutes away from the ocean (caution: 15 minutes by car-no public transport available !!!hence priority for guests to rent a car or be at ease with walking, hitch-hiking or staying around the finca on some afternoons/ we have our solar power E-bike that we may lend to volunteers to go to the beach but we currently have to repair the brakes) We have installed most off-the-grid systems (solar electricity/solar hot water/biogas/drink water filter/solar cooking..)but we are still renovating the place to welcome retreats or simply guests. Also we start designing and setting our permaculture garden. The finca already has a great variety of self-caring fruit trees (lemon, orange, pear, apple, fig, plum,papaya,...) and nut trees. It has one almost ready cavehouse what we are working on now and a lot of pretty caves which are to be renovated into cavehouses for hosting guests (including workawayers). It is located directly close to a national park which makes it a perfect spot to start hiking too and for climbing (three climbing canyons 20 minutes away by car). The view on the ocean and Gran Canaria island is really incredible. Nearby fishervillage is a nice spot for snorkelling, for scuba diving and for surf beginners when the swell is there. Nearby village in the moutain is well known for climbing.
We live in the main house and there is already a yurt located at the best viewpoint to accommodate two guests. There are also two more bigger yurts to accommodate 3 to 4 guests each. Be ware that Tenerife is a big mountain so as soon as you leave its shore, you are quickly on altitude...which means, when the sun is up, it is nice and very warm, and when the sun is down in the winter, it cools down rapidly.
Cleanliness and upmost care of the environment your host provide you with are key principles for a smooth cohabitation. We also only look for serious applications (this is NO couchsurfing, it is an international platform for travellers willing to work in exchange of a nice accommodation!)
