  Descripción

  I have a mixed cultural background and speak English primarily and am also fluent in German and speak basic spanish. We have a friendly dog and also have gardeners with their dogs who take care of the extensive farmland on a daily basis. Professionally I am a counsellor / personal development facilitator. Privately, our home is generally of an open house sociable nature with neighbours and friends popping by . The house is located about 2 km from the town center of Orgiva nestled in an ancient olive grove. There is also an independent wagon home for more privacy when there are more visitors in the house. Though the land is quite large for my dog to run around, I do like taking him for walks in the surrounding nature. Otherwise I also enjoy regular exercise through playing badminton and padel at the local sports center.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  My land is a certified organic farm irrigated through the ancient water channels built by the moors, and anyone interested can learn about local farming ways while visiting. One can in any case improve English while living and helping together. For someone looking for the warmth and sunshine of southern Spain in a rural setting close enough to town to also enjoy drinks and tapas, this particular property in the valley is like a small paradise in itself with olive trees over 1000 years old. The area has attracted a mixture of nature lovers, hikers, artists, healers, the spiritual and cultural minded, from different nationalities and walks of life. There are many offerings of cultural or nature workshops and sporty activities in the area. I would be happy to introduce my work away guests to neighbours and friends and help you to pursue any interests and activities you may have.

  Ayuda

  I am partly retired and would need the help of someone with energy and strength. The specific details of what is needed depends on individual projects at any given time. The help would entail moving heavy things and taking on tasks alone, though I will be there to help with lighter chores like driving to get materials needed, lending a hand and cleaning up afterwards etc. Currently I have two projects which I need specific help for. The first is to create a fence out of bamboo or palm fronds, to fill an existing structure of posts which has already been built. The second is to convert a cellar and adjacent wood shed into a living space /studio. This will require some plastering, building, carpentry skills. I have a team of two gardeners who deal with the major tasks of taking care of the olive grove and vegetable garden but I would need someone to help with some small gardening projects and general maintenance tasks.
