  Descrição

  Hola All. I am Lena, 54 years old. Educated in horticulture / eco and photography. I am from Denmark, but live in Southern Spain - Malaga province. I live at a rural place with land, nature, growing organic vegetables and fruit- except July and August when its too hot. I am a private person, retired early . My Finca is not a business and not selling any produce. I have 2 dogs and cats. It’s an old house and finca (30.000m2) which I am constantly working on reforming. I am integrated in the Spanish culture. I live mostly plant based but if you like to eat meat etc it is not a problem here. Room for all! Smoking outdoor. Climate is mild here in winter time. There is a ski-resort 1,5 hr. away in Sierra Nevada, Granada province. All kinds of water sports along the coast. Yoga, pilates etc classes also down on the beach. Amazing hiking places around in the nature parks in the mountains.
  
  The chores around here will be helping me with gardening, outdoor cleaning up, weeds, fire wood, organizing etc, house chores, fixing things and helping with animals. There is a cat shelter outdoor where I catch stray cats to get sterilized. I have all kinds of electric tools and I am happy to teach in using them. I am also happy to help you learning Spanish. I speak English, Danish and Spanish ( not fluent).
  
  I live 2,5 km uphill from the beach in Benajarafe, 25 min east of Malaga Airport at Costa del Sol, with a view over the Mediterranean Sea. Busses drive along the coast.
  I have many years experience in the exchange student program volunteer work in Denmark (AFS) for young people in high school, and know about the culture differences that can be. And I will be helpful for you to meet new friends around here. I was an exchange student myself and also my oldest son. My family lives in Denmark, (2 adult sons). I live alone here ( divorced many years ago).
  
  Malaga province is very international, where people settle from all over the world. And there are many things to do and explore.
  Also if you are creative or want to be, there is a crea /crafting room for hand crafting, painting etc. here. I love the tranquil lifestyle here and I have nice Spanish Neighbors. And lots of sun mostly. And not to forget the siestas here from 14 pm! I have my siesta rest ( quiet time) every day mostly from 14.30-16.30. Also I like to get my nights sleep in peace!
  The work here is mainly in the mornings from around 8.00/9.00 to 13.00 about 4 hrs- unless we make other agreements. And 1 hour again around dinner time.
  
  Feel free to contact and ask whatever you like.
  I am pretty new on WorkAway, but only heard positive about it. And as the famous Danish writer/ story teller H.C. Andersen said: “To Travel is to Live”. So true. Cultural knowledge and understanding is so important in this world for peace.
  
  Thanks for stopping by.
  
  Hasta Luego
  
  Lena Siv
