Program Details
We offer a good, family-friendly environment with a single room and a shared bathroom. All meals are included, and you can cook in the house's fully equipped kitchen. My husband and I work from home and we have 6 children aged 22 to 26. Currently, only our two daughters live with us, and the others come and go.
We also have a 2-year-old female dog named Fosca. She loves playing with the ball and taking long walks; we would love for you to help us with this task as well.
We can share recipes since we really enjoy cooking. We are a very creative family and we love being able to learn new things that you can bring us.
Activities & Shift
We only have room for one person, and the schedules and shifts for the different tasks will be decided on the fly.
The day-to-day of the worldpacker we are looking for is someone who enjoys calmness, rehabilitation, and small renovations. We would like you to help with some interior and exterior maintenance work around the house and also with a walk for Fosca. You will always have enough time to enjoy visiting Barcelona and the Collserola Natural Park where we are located.
Rules
We have some rules, such as not walking with shoes inside the house and everyone does their own laundry and helps with household chores. We don’t like noise, so if music is played it must be with headphones. When working and studying from home, we need silence and tranquility.
