  Description

  Hello there. My dog Molly and I live in the heart of Skopelos island in a remote cottage. It's the greenest island in Greece and covered in pine forests. I have lived on Skopelos for over 40 years and work as a hiking guide although I am now semi-retired. I used to run a non profit called Skopelos Trails. With the help of Workaway volunteers, we maintained the old cobbled trails of the island. I wrote a trails guide book and published two others about the natural history of Skopelos. My little cottage is old and set in 6k sq.sm. of plum, olive and other trees. I'm in the process of making it more comfortable. We are not on mains water. There is a nearby spring for drinking water. Molly is a five year old rescue girl and very lively. She loves digging holes and being groomed. She will also chase chickens given the chance. You need to be mature enough to take responsibility for my home, be used to semi off grid living, remoteness and whilst I'm away keep things clean and tidy.
