Activities may include basic tasks in masonry, carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, and gardening. Ideal for practical people who enjoy working outdoors and learning while contributing to a growing project.😉🌱

David is one of the hardest-working people, and he encourages you to keep working; beyond training at the gym, the experience has been one of the most incredible. As a chef, he is also amazing—delicious dishes and very good communication and learning. Finally, the dogs are very good and friendly.

It's a very beautiful place, surrounded by plants, trees and nature, so if you're looking to disconnect from everything, get away from civilization and experience up close a life that's more rural and natural, it's an experience that's worth it.

David is also a very kind person and has a different and interesting perspective on life from what we are used to. I think it's worth listening to him and learning something from his way of seeing things.

Ah, and he also has three enormous Rottweiler dogs, but they're very friendly, full of energy and super playful.

For me, this has been an enriching experience. I have been able to learn about life in the mountains and the work with the land, as well as eating healthily and training alongside David.
The work is simple and can be done while you soak up the sun.
Moreover, David is a person who from the first minute seeks to make you feel comfortable in his home and is always willing to help you with anything. And the best part is that he is a person from whom you can learn a lot, beyond the work.
Without a doubt, I recommend this experience.
