Hi, my name is William. I’m a sound engineer and language teacher, and I’m starting a small community living project in Las Palmas.

This is a collaborative renovation and community-living project based in La Isleta, a traditional and creative neighborhood of Las Palmas, just a short walk from the ocean.
The house is being renovated step by step, with a focus on reuse, simplicity, and creative expression. Beyond improving the space, the intention is to create a small, open-minded community around shared values like sustainability, art, music, and cultural exchange.
Life here is social but relaxed. We share meals, ideas, music, and time together — whether that’s working on the house, cooking dinner, surfing, hiking, or watching the sunset from the nearby national park el Confital :)
Around 4 hours per day, 5 days per week
Interior renovation: painting, tiles, ceramics, basic carpentry, cleaning and finishing
Creative ideas and decoration input are welcome :)
Free time is yours, but we often do excursions together. Some surfboards and bicycle are available to use.
We often cook and eat together (around 4 times per week), and sometimes organize hikes, beach volley, local festivals, film nights or just some chill time on the rooftop pool :)
Just simple, common-sense rules for living together:
-Respect shared spaces and the neighborhood
-Clean up after yourself
-Communicate openly and respectfully
This community suits best for people who enjoy shared living and a calm, friendly atmosphere.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
