The experience

Ciao! We are Irene, Majed, daughter Leela (5), and dogs Segu and Seba. We’re a multicultural family with a passion for nature, sustainability, and meaningful connections with people and animals.

Program Details

We’re a family living on a piece of land with olive trees and a big love for nature, animals, and cultural exchange. There’s always something to do around the house and garden — from general maintenance to helping out during the olive harvest (usually November/December) or pruning time (March).
In general, we appreciate a hand with all kinds of tasks — anything from small DIY projects to helping keep things running smoothly. Someone who enjoys spending time with children is very welcome too — our 5 year old daughter is super curious and loves to interact. She speaks Dutch, Arabic, and Italian, and as a family we speak Dutch, English, Spanish, Arabic, and we’re currently learning Italian together.
In the future, we’re hoping to bring animals onto the land, so if you're interested in helping us prepare for that, there's plenty to do. Mostly, we’re looking for friendly, hands-on people who have a positive attitude :)
Also, someone creative who can make wall paintings or do something else artsy would be really cool as well!

Activities & Shift

We especially need help during the olive harvest in November/December and pruning time in March. Also, during summer we could use general help or someone who likes to spend time with our 5 year old daughter

Rules

Preferably no smoking/alcohol, vegetarian/vegan diet.
