Descripción
I am a German woman in my sixties (but young at heart ;-) ) who started a new life here on La Palma in 2022. My finca has 4500 sqm land which I hope to convert into an ecological perma-culture garden to become self-contained, veggie and fruit-wise. So there will be a lot of digging to put up some new beds and high-beds. There are overgrown terraces which have been used for growing veggies before. As they have fertile soil I want to revive them. Old trees have to be trimmed, new trees to be planted to use the arid space, regular watering and weed picking is required. Also the buildings need some light maintenance every once in a while because everything wears down pretty fast due to the impact of the sun. I have a chicken coop with four hens (Alma, Bonita, Celia and Dahlia) who need attention but also provide an egg a day each! My two lovely dogs - Tom and Iva - are very friendly and love to be cuddled or taken for a walk. As for me I am an easy going person, good for a laugh, flexible, reliable, and empathetic. I love hiking, yoga, reading, singing, cooking and much more. Food-wise I call myself a 'flexitarian', meaning I mainly cook veggie dishes but also fish and meat now and then.
Looking forward to greeting you in my little paradise!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I am a world travelled woman and always like to meet new people from different backgrounds with whom I want to share my new home. If you like nature you can go walking or hiking with me and I can show you the beauty of the island. Besides in Germany I have lived in Florida, Nepal, Tanzania and Dubai so there is lots to talk about different cultures.
Ayuda
The main tasks will be gardening, so you should have a passion for that and maybe even some knowledge in permaculture. Also general DIY and maybe odd household chores could be your tasks. Work can also be physically hard at times!

I am looking for Spanish Speakers to improve the language. Among other professions I was an English teacher in adult education, so I can teach English and German.
Alojamiento
You will stay in a beautiful little studio (built in 2023) next to my house with bathroom and kitchenette. We will have lunch together which I cook for us, sometimes also dinner. I will provide food for your breakfast and dinner.
Algo más...
I live in the south of the island with beautiful sea view. The main village (Los Canarios) of Fuencaliente is 500m down the road where you can get everything. There is a bus station where you can travel east (to Santa Cruz, the capital) or west (to Los Llanos the biggest town) or down to several beaches. Right at the house you can start many walks/hikes. I'd gladly give you a lift when I use the car..

Alma, Bonita, Celia and Dahlia (4 meses)
Iva (7 años)
Iva the 'diva', that's her nick name. She is always gets her way and her 'son' Tom will always let her be the first in everything - but in racing competitions. Iva was 9 month when Tom arrived at the age of 10 weeks and she immediately adopted him as his baby. While Tom is always obedient, Iva can be quite cheeky at times. Yet she always knows when she did wrong.
Tom (6 años)
Tom is a mongrel with herding attitude. He always cares about his 'flock'. If you walk him, he always comes back, surrounds you and checks if everything is okay. Same thing when swimming - he always checks if everything is okay. He is well trained, always walks without leash and waits in front of the shops when we go into the village. Iva is only 6 months older but she acted as his mother. They love each other dearly and play a lot.
