Program Details

I invite you to live in a small volcanic stone village by the sea, surrounded by nature and creativity. As a host, I face mobility challenges and need daily help with carrying materials, cooking, setting up the space, and contributing to artistic and practical projects. In exchange for your help, I offer accommodation and shared meals. The program is ideal for those who love the ocean, simple living, and lending a hand.


Activities & Shift

Your daily activities will vary depending on needs and your own skills or interests, but may include:
• Carrying materials and supplies to and from the beach house.
• Preparing meals and helping in the kitchen.
• Helping with cleaning and organizing spaces.
• Contributing to small artistic projects (photography, painting, etc.) and selling some productions.
• Occasional maintenance work in and around the house (moving items, adjusting furniture, etc.).

Expect to help around 4-5 hours a day, with flexible schedules to allow time for rest and personal exploration.


Rules

• Be respectful of the space and of the quiet rhythm of life here.
• No-smoking space
• Help as needed, but feel free to suggest ideas and share your talents.
• Respect local customs and the natural environment.
