Help us reinvent an old guesthouse on La Palma island (Canarias)

---

The experience

My name is Helena. I’ve been visiting La Palma for several winters as a volunteer, and less than a year ago I met Marco, who owns a guesthouse here. I just moved permanently to the island and decided to help Marco reinvent the place.

We need help with painting and small construction works. Preferably somebody with experience with that.

Activities & Shift

There are plenty of things to do, and they vary quite a lot. Some examples:

-Painting walls
-Fixing the walls (after the heavy rainfall we have some condensation problems)
-Building some roof construction on the terrace
-Building stairs to the garden
-Building small fence in the garden

After help, if you feel like it, I can show you around the island — I’m currently working on my official guide license, so I know a bit about the place 😉

20 hours per week — 2 days off

Rules

-No parties
-No smoking inside
-We have one shared dormitory (4 people), but the rest are private rooms — so it’s more of a guesthouse than a hostel 🏡
