    Descrição

    Hi, my name is Paul. I moved to Asturias in February 2013.

    I’m currently open to longer-term volunteers (anywhere between 2-6 months) to help out in the garden.

    This would suit an independent individual or couple who are happy to live in a caravan in the garden, as this is the only accommodation I will have available this year. The first task would be so do a little work on the caravan to make it more comfortable for living ;-)

    I say it would suit someone independent because I would not be here myself a lot of the time - I’m also going to be away volunteering with a friend but would come back probably one or two days each week.

    I would expect 1-2 hours of help per day, in exchange for the accommodation and meals would not be included. You would need your own transport ideally as the nearest shops are about at 10 minute drive away.

    It’s a beautiful secluded spot in nature, great hikes from the house and lovely beach down the road (good surf!)

    Feel free to ask any questions…
    Paul :-)

    I'm set in roughly an acre of land on the side of a hill. The beach (playa de vega) is a nice stroll (35 mins) through forest and fields. The walk back from the beach is a gruelling slog that makes me swear after a couple of beers and is a challenge either way. There are great walks to be had up from the house too. I, and the dog are always happy to walk with you or show you some routes. The house is fairly isolated, about 8Km from the nearest town (Ribadesella) though there are buses (every two hours) close by. If you've never heard of Asturias, it's a beautiful, lush, green and mountainous coastline in the north of Spain.

    My long term aim is to become more self-sustainable have a lovely little retreat centre.

    And me, I'm a corporate drop out. Twelve years in an office felt like a lifetime so now I'm starting anew. It's horrible and it's hard and it's great and I love it. I haven't adjusted yet and am learning all the time. I'm open to all sorts and enjoy meeting people from varying backgrounds. Along with me, there are two cats and one dog, who is old and not great with other dogs.

    I'm happy to share my insights into the local culture and when there's time, I like to take volunteers out to see some of the local sight too.

    Ajuda

    I need someone who has experience of using and maintaining a lawnmower and strimmer/brushcutter, as that would be the main task - keeping on top of the garden.

    The first priority now is to get the house renovated and ready to live in , as well as the garden area, building more compost toilets and outdoor showers.
