Program Details

Hello! I am a Polish girl who has been living in Spain for years. I have my own horses and I live in a small traditional masía (old rural farmhouse) in a quiet town 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 calm 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 a living arrangement based on respect, collaboration and exchange. 🌿


Activities & Shift

The exchange is based on 2 hours of work in exchange for lodging, and 1 additional hour of work for each meal that the person would also like to be offered.

If you prefer all three meals plus the lodging, 5 hours of work are required and 2 days off per week are provided.


Rules

If you want to ride a horse, it is mandatory to have a license from the equestrian federation, either Spanish or from your country. If you do not have it, you will need insurance that covers the riding activity. Without one of these two requirements it will not be possible to ride.

It is not a party space, and smoking inside the house is not allowed.
Respect for the space and for the horses is requested, so you will enjoy it more if you are a calm person who enjoys nature.
