Description
Hello, :) I am Mat 37 and the house is between Barcelona and Tarragona at 5km from the sea and have large hills with lots of hiking trails.

It's a new house and and a new project, i just moved in so have lots of ideas, need to do all the indoor and outdoor decoration. Want to plant tropical trees, do an herbal vertical garden, Diy decorations.. for the house to have a good energy and it feels warmth and welcoming.

Would love to get help too with cooking as i am always busy doing things and forget to eat at regular times..

In May i can only propose for accomodation in exchange for 2 hours work per day as i have lots of expenses as the project is new and need to repair things and get all furnitures. There are 5 rooms to host so you can have your private room but we share cost of food for meals in common and you pay for your meals.
In the summer months normally it will be full so can't host and after august i can provide with food and accomodation for 4-5 hours per day.

I love aternative ways of thinking, questioning eeverything and experimenting.
Would like to host fun people open minded who like sharing, laughing, music, sometimes parties or do crazy things and also take care of their body and relax.

I am interested in Reiki, feng shui, bioresonance, tantra, yoga (try to do some everyday) and sports very often, would be nice if you know massages too.

I need respectfull people to know how to work independantly sometimes as i have also some work on computer or to do other stuff and responsable enough to take care of a house and keep everything clean after they use something, i don't want to have to check everything after you or do babysitting (sorry but speak of experiences..).
I appreciate people staying at least one week and longer time welcome if everything goes well.

Mat was very kind to welcome me into my first Workaway experience. I stayed at his farm for 5 weeks and got to help out with all sorts of projects. Mat is very flexible and patient, so I got to learn a lot during my time there. Thanks Mat! Wishing you all the best.

I stayed 2 weeks at the Farm in March, at the early begenning of spring and there were many many things to do at this time! I really enjoyed learning about planting, soil preparation, gardening, seeding and some permaculture ideas.

We stayed at The Farm for one month and it was a lovely experience. Everyone is really chill and welcoming. We usually started work around Mid day and worked in the Garden for a few hours. The work was quite varied which was nice. We wish the farm all the best for the future.

Jade and Mossy stayed one month and are really cool to be with and meet. We had fun time with them, was nice to play games, petanque and try to watch GOT. :)
They were a really great help at this period of the year with plenty of preparation work in the garden and did beautifull painting on a door. :)
Thanks for everything and take care!

We stayed only a week at Mat's place and our only regret is we didn't stay longer! He kindly accommodated our last minute request. We cleared and weeded an area in front of the house and along the path running through the field which was nice work to do in the late summer sun. It's a beautiful setting to see some of rural France and meet some… read more

I spent almost 2 weeks with Mat and Sitthi. I really enjoyed this trip to the Pyrenees.
Works are very various and in a good atmosphere, you can work both in the garden (permaculture) or home renovation.
You can also meet very interesting people close to the project.
Thank you guys for this experience and your welcome.
