Program Details

In gratitude for your help I will share this magical place with you.

Accommodation in your private room with bathroom and 3 meals included.
In the evenings, we’ll share dinner, exotic flavors, and easygoing conversation. Now and then, I’ll ask you to cook something from your home country—it’s always a joy to discover new tastes. In return, I’ll offer fresh fruit from the garden and homemade snacks. It’s harvest season, and I’d love to share the sweetness of what I’ve grown.

If you're a slow traveler looking to spend a couple of weeks away from the hustle and bustle of tourist destinations, this is a wonderful place to be.
I’ve attached a video of my home, the island, and its lovely people. Just a heads-up: July brings a mix of sunshine and rain, so the sea isn’t as clear as in other months. But the beauty, peace, and rhythm of island life are always here.

Activities & Shift

We’ll work together in the garden or on some light maintenance tasks from Monday to Friday, 7 to 11:30 AM.
On Saturday mornings, we’ll take care of the house cleaning together—just 2 hours.
The rest of the time is all yours to explore, relax, or take a swim!

Rules

Ideally suited for travelers over 35 who value slow, meaningful experiences and quiet connection with nature who speaks either English or Spanish, preferably non smoker.

Since there’s no public transport, would be advisable to be skilled in riding a motorcycle. You will need to rent one for getting around.

If you are genuinely interested in joining us, please don’t request additional information beforehand. Instead, send me photos of your previous trips or projects of volunteering. Experience matters!! If selected, we can then discuss everything further to ensure the experience suits everyone’s needs
