  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Workaways can learn more about living off grid and being immersed in the wonderful, warm culture of rural Spain. Being fluent in Spanish and English, plus conversational French and Catalan, travellers can also have the opportunity for language exchange. Happy to introduce you to locals as well as other workaways, as other local places often have travellers staying with them. At the house it is very peaceful and ideal for those of you that practice yoga and meditation, or if you simply enjoy being one with nature. I would be very happy to introduce you to meditation or practice group meditations should you wish. I am also a Rieki master if you are interested in learning that modality of healing.
  The food is mainly fresh veg and locally sourced produce. All diets can be accommodated. I am gluten free and also have a number of food intolerances so I am well accustomed to adapting meals.
  I am a fairly new workaway host, I do however have a lot of experience with working with volunteers both online and in person. I embrace the workaway philosophy and truly look forward to this sharing opportunity and all of the richness that can come from it.
  
  Fresh local food, outdoor activities, temperate climate, stunning views, and possible connections with others will make this a wonderful experience!

  We recently moved to our beautiful home in rural Terra Alta, planning to restore it and live as off grid as possible. We are living a quiet life: enjoying nature in a rural community. Looking for workways interested in minor restoration to make this masia (traditional Spanish farmhouse) a beautiful place to be!
  
  We have a number of projects we would like to complete, depending on interest, looking for volunteers with skills to build a new bathroom, add an exterior door, check that all windows and doors close properly, chop wood with a chainsaw and split logs, and some strimming in the garden. Cooking skills and other domestic help would be much appreciated
  
  Can be flexible with the hours and days that you work.

  Hébergement

  At the house in a private bedroom with shared living spaces. Bedroom can fit one person or one couple. Also happy for those of you with a camper van to come and stay, however, the entrance way is quite narrow so larger campers are not going to make it through the gate! the house is a renovated traditional Spanish farm house, nestled into the hillside with breathtaking views of the mountains. Electricity is by solar power and we have a rainwater collection system from the roof.
