The experience

Welcome to our home by the sea!
We are a family living in a large beach house and we are looking for Workawayers who want to share this experience with us. In exchange for room and board, we need a hand with general maintenance: garden chores, painting, taking care of the vegetable garden and taking care of our animals (we have a chicken coop, turtles and dogs).
No previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and a positivity

Program Details

We need help with the normal maintenance tasks: painting, gardening, taking care of the garden, taking care of the animals (we have chickens, turtles and dogs) and helping with the general cleaning of the house.

Activities & Shift

During the week, as my wife and I both work away from home, you will share the experience with our house keeper, a Venezuelan guy who is very attentive and always willing to teach you whatever you need or to exchange experiences. It is a great opportunity to learn more about our culture, improve your Spanish and share experiences.

On weekends the atmosphere changes a bit. On Sundays we usually make paella and get together with friends and family. We enjoy cooking together, chatting and having a good time. If you are up for it, you are more than welcome to join us.

Rules

If you want to travel, you, don’t have to stay the weekend in the house, but you can stay the weekend and help us on Saturday morning as well
