Program Details
Hello! I'm a Polish girl who has been living in Spain for years. I own my own horses and I live in a small old masía, a traditional rural farmhouse, in a quiet village on the Costa Brava, surrounded by nature and animals.
I speak Polish, Spanish, English and Ukrainian, and I love meeting people from different countries and cultures.
I offer a room for one or two people in an old rural masía.
It is a peaceful environment, surrounded by nature and very animal-friendly. We live with our animals, including dogs and cats, so people with allergies should take this into account. 🐶🐱
The kitchen and the bathroom are shared, as well as some common spaces in the house.
I am looking for people who feel comfortable living in a simple, rural environment surrounded by animals, and who enjoy living together based on respect, cooperation and exchange. 🌿
Activities & Shift
The arrangement is based on 2 hours of work in exchange for lodging, plus 1 additional hour of work for each meal the guest would like to be provided.
If you prefer all three meals along with the lodging, 5 hours of work are required and you get 2 days off per week.
Rules
If you want to ride a horse, you must have a license from the riding federation, either Spanish or from your country. If you don't have it, you'll need insurance that covers the activity of riding. Without one of these two requirements it won't be possible to ride.
Not a party space, and smoking inside the house is not allowed.
Respect for the space and for the horses is requested, so you'll enjoy it more if you are a calm person who enjoys nature.
