The experience

Hey! I'm Oier, 29, originally from Vitoria in the Basque Country. I live on a beautiful piece of land I bought in Tinajo, Lanzarote, where I grow food 🌱 and explore permaculture 🌾. With my two dogs and two cats, we enjoy the simple island life 🌞🏝️. I’m passionate about music , the sea , nature 🌿, and staying active outdoors. I love sharing good vibes and experiences with others while learning and discovering new things every day.

Program Details

You will live in a land near a village but at the same time far from other people, in the middle of the nature with views to the ocean. The idea is that you can help me in some tasks, but I'm really doing this for knowing people from other places of the world and share my passion about plants, nature and music. I can teach you some spanish, music and agriculture learnings.

Activities & Shift

There are lot of things to do, but most of them are related with agriculture or construction. Digging the land, plant trees and plants, water them, make walls for protecting the trees, clean aninals place.... There are also other things to do in the buildings that are in the land as paint walls/rooms, improve the House/garden decoration.... And also related with the house day by day tasks as cooking, cleaning, going for a walk with the dogs... And some more you can propose

Rules

The idea is that you work about 12 hours per week, so what I offer is free acommodation and free food of the vegetables and fruits we grow in the land. Also eggs from the chickens. For the rest of food what we usually do is that each one buys their own food and later you can share your food cooking for the others or eat by yourself.

There is a room for 2-3 guests with one big bed and another small bed. There is also another Big room that can host another 2-3 people.
