Description
My project is a renovation of my house. There is all sorts of help needed here, like DIY, carpentry, plastering, painting, electrics, plumbing etc. Ideally I need someone with this sort of skills, but common sense, bit of creativity and a can-do attitude can also work wonders.
I am trying to do the works possibly efficient, cost effective, and environment-friendly, e.g.: I use second hand materials or I modify things instead of buying new ones. It is important that you have positive outlook and are able to find SOLUTIONS rather than problems everywhere!
I provide accomodation and breakfast and dinner.
Working hours: 20 hours per week. Usually Monday to Friday 4 hours per day.

Everyone is responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy.

I’m a flexible, relaxed but organised person. I believe in modesty and simplicity of life. I like to laugh and joke around, nevertheless I'm well focused and I care about getting the job done.

Autres infos...
Spain is a country rich in culture and character. There's always something happening around. Algeciras is located by the sea. Has two beaches and a big port. It isn't really a typical Spanish seaside town. It's more of an industrial city. Rather poor, multicultural and authentic. You'll find here Morrocans, South-Americans, Gypsies or Eastern Europeans like me. :)
There are two very nice hikes you can do in nearby mountains. We are also in short distance (30min bus journey) from Tarifa - biggest in Spain surfing centre and same distance to Gibraltar - British overseas territory.

We stayed at Krzysia's home for 5 days and it was a pleasure to be there. She helped us at the last minute by hosting us since we were coming to Spain and other hosts had ghosted us 😅 We helped with several easy jobs renovating the house and she cooked us so very delicious meals! We are forever thankfull and sending best of luck to her!

¡Fue un verdadero placer hospedar a Diana y Sergio en mi hogar! Además de ser empáticos y inteligentes, fueron de gran ayuda en la renovación de mi casa. Juntos construimos un armario desde cero y organizamos muchas cosas en el hogar. Desde el primer momento nos llevamos muy bien y sentí que éramos como familia. ¡Gracias por todo!

We stayed for 1 week and helped to do something at her terrace and others works, during the morning.
We had some dinner and lunch together and the communication was easy and clear.
Thanks from both of us and hasta la próxima Krzysia!!! :D :D

Maja is a very friendly, quiet and humble girl. In her free time she easily gets herself occupied with a book or goes to explore the area, which she passionately enjoys. In terms of work she tries her best to meet the expectations and rarely complaints.
I enjoyed having her here and would happily host her again.
