    Description

    We are an international family who moved to Andalusia one year ago (it was the BEST decision ever!).

    We have found a special house in the countryside of Nerja, which unfortunately was very neglected. Luckily the major part was renovated, and now we need some help in our daily projects, like cleaning, painting, upcycling projects, some maintenance, garden work. You can help and watch the phoenix rising from its ashes!! ;)

    What would be needed?

    ★ ideally somebody who speaks SPANISH and can help us to improve our basic language skills
    ★ ideally somebody who speaks RUSSIAN and can speak with our little daughter
    ★ carpenter
    ★ garden lover
    ★ somebody who enjoys to help with cleaning from time to time since the house and garden and work is too much to handle at once

    We are so happy to read from you!!

    We moved into this wonderful house mid October. It’s in the nature in Nerja. We’re surrounded by mountains, but also the salsa/ fitness place is not far, also the horse ranch, farmers and supermarket. You can drive by car 8 minutes to the city center and the beach.
    The house needs some love and care. The pre-owner treated it not very kindly.

    What we might need from you in the house:

    ✨ if you have some carpenters skills: amazing
    ✨ cleaning the house
    ✨ gardening
    ✨ painting
    ✨ if you are passionate about DIY/ Upcycling... amazing!

    My daughter and I have a special healthy diet, also I do not have fixed time for cooking that’s why I prefer that you get your own food and cook for yourself whatever you like. Therefore you work 3 hours a day from Monday till Friday and the rest is your free time. As a workawayer, I myself only worked 3 hours a day and bought my own food.

    We have no Internet here (yet) because I use only my unlimited internet on the phone. The Spanish numbers offer unlimited or soo much Gigabyte for a great price!

    We have to see on the spot what needs to be done and where you can help us! Please come with a flexible attitude and an open mind.

    Do you want to join us on this adventure?

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A super comfy Vintage van with your own mini kitchen, stove, little fridge and table. You can shower in my place.
    In future you can have your own room in the house but right now every room has to be painted, designed, and they’re semi-ready.
    But I have to say during winter the van / camper is much more warmer and has some advantages.

    What else ...

    Nerja is a beautiful town full of little white houses. It offers different events , beautiful beaches, nature… but also the places around nerja are beautiful (maro, frigiliana, la herradura, Malaga)… there is always something to do. I’m a member in private Telegramm and WhatsApp groups where I’m always informed by the newest shows, events, markets, flea markets, organic food, projects etc
