  Description

  Hello from our home!
  
  We are a multicultural family with a Slovakian woman and an Argentinian man, along with our two kids - a 10-year-old boy who is into Rubik's cubes, lizards, sports, reading, climbing... and a 6-year-old girl who lives in her fantasy world. We live on a piece of land with animals and a garden. Currently, we reside in a small mobile home and are in the process of building a house.
  
  Our land is located 2 km from a natural park (Zoo Cabárceno), a lake, and a couple of nice routes. We are looking for someone who is willing to help with the animals, garden, and other tasks around the homestead. We welcome volunteers who are willing to talk to our children and us in English and help us improve, so we prefer someone from an English-speaking country or someone with a high level and good pronunciation. This is really important for us.
  
  We do not have a designated place for our volunteers to stay, so it's better if you have your own van or something similar. However, we can provide you with a tent and all the facilities. If the weather requires it, we also have a shed where our visitors always sleep, so it's comfortable. We do have a place where you can park your vehicle, and we can provide water and electricity with a generator (we also have solar panels). But this is for exceptional cases.
  
  We love to party, play board games, go to the beach, river, talk, have fun... so if you are boring and don't have a sense of humor, avoid our house ;).
  
  If you are interested in staying with us, helping, and having fun, don't hesitate to ask any questions you want.
