Descrição
Hi! my name is Richard and I live with my daughter and my beagle Bimba at the Costa Brava (Costa Maresme) in Santa Susanna, which is next to Malgrat. It is a comfortable 4-bedroom house, with a large terrace and a swimming pool. You will have your own room. The house is situated in an urban area, Malgrat, which is next door, is a non-touristic and lively village. My daughter, Jules is 13 and she goes to school here.
I work as a property manager, so I take care of other people’s properties.
Looking specifically for a handy (wo)man! Here are the jobs I really like to be done; repairing and painting plaster on one of the walls from the house (outside). Touching up paintwork here and there. Regrouting 2 terraces 40m2 (finding the leaks!), repairing plaster on 2 sealings, 6m2, sanding and painting balustrades 25-30 M length. And some other odd jobs.
About me a little bit;
Before I came here, I travelled with an old camper van in Scandinavia and Europe and have been on some house-sitting jobs and various volunteer jobs myself.
The tourist industry is growing again and there is a need for taking care "the Dutch way" of properties.
Who am I? Non-smoker, I enjoy life! open minded, organized (sometimes!), calm, always trying to help other people and I enjoy meeting new people, making friends and connections.
I like to talk about the world, with good company, enjoying cooking.
What’s to do in Santa Susanna & Malgrat ? You can hike and bike, mountains and lots of nature just around the corner.
Go to the beach, surf, kiting, sailing, swimming, diving, running, the beach is enormous.
There is a well-equipped gym with an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool (own expenses) in Santa Susanna, there is a cross fit in Pineda, padel, water sport, horse riding, lot's of possibilities.
Lots of cultural locations to visit. Barcelona is 1 hour and 10 minutes by train (5 € to get there and 5 € to get back), beautiful train ride direct at the coast.
Here in Spain we work 5 days per week, in principal we (try to) relax in the weekend.
I speak Dutch, English, basic German and Spanish. If you speak Spanish it is a big plus.
You will have your own room, I have a car, a scooter and a bike which we can share. The beach is 25 minutes walking. Nice bars all around. Malgrat & Santa Susanna are real Spanish not so touristic villages with a rich cultural life all year.
Interested? questions? ideas? suggestions? please ask!
Best regards,
Richard, Jules, Bimba
Notes:
Apparently a lot of people do not know how to read a host profile; so for those who don´t; I can accommodate one person, pay attention to ¨one¨ which means; no couples or families!
I prefer non smokers. And I prefer that you are not too young (read; you have to be at least 40) and that you have some life experience. Also, it is important you have a valid drivers license.and that you have some life experience. Also, it is important you have a valid drivers license.
