Program Details

Discover RuralCo, a coliving haven for digital nomads nestled in a tranquil rural mountain setting near Culla, Spain.

We are looking for self-reliant individuals who appreciate solitude and wish to unwind amidst nature. Our location is a 2-hour walk from the nearest village, offering an opportunity to immerse yourself in a calm and unhurried way of life.

Enjoy a private room with private bathroom, ensuring your personal space. Food is a unifying aspect of our coliving experience - we try to source meat and vegetables locally and based on seasonal availability. We cook and eat communally. Experience a quiet, restorative escape with us, far from the hustle and bustle.

This volunteer role is designed to recruit folks who want to help us in maintaining a clean working and living environment for both our paying guests and volunteers.

Activities & Shift

We're looking for enthusiastic individuals or couples to contribute just 4 hours a day with weekends off, helping us maintain our lovely space and create unforgettable moments for our guests.

Responsibilities include:

- Welcoming guests with a warm smile
- Ensuring cleanliness throughout the premises
- Helping with cooking delicious meals for our coliving community
- Engaging in DIY projects to build and enhance relaxation areas, like assembling furniture or painting

You can expect some early mornings where you will clean the office spaces before the workday starts for the digital nomad residents. The kitchen gets a lot of use, so we spend a lot of time maintaining this space as well. You can feed kitchen scraps to the donkeys and help us to coordinate our shopping trips for the weekly groceries. Your tasks may also involve manual work like painting or harvesting produce from the garden. Your duties will depend on the season, our current projects, and the number of volunteers and guests we have.
