Description
I am Carly and I have 3 dogs and a cat called Moon. We live in a beautiful rustic house with lots of beautiful land that is currently being developed. It is a mini-paradise with a lot of room for creative ideas and projects! As of yet, the land is quite wild and we are slowly cultivating. Also beginning to build eco-dwellings, such as a cob house.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will benefit from being part of a young project from the outset, with a lot of opportunity for brain-storming creative ideas, trying things out and making your own unique contribution. The location is wild and natural and you'll experience 'real rural life' in Andalucia... whilst having the benefits of being close to a lively town. You can pick fruit and nuts and the views from the roof terrace are stunning! You're welcome to practice your Spanish here. You can take part in caring for a variety of trees including Almond, Olive, Nispero, Fig, Orange and learn the ins and outs of the ingenious Spanish irrigation system! There may be opportunities to learn about cob-buliding and to take part in construction projects.
Help
All of the above are possibilities but I wouldn't hope for all from one person! :) Many projects are running simultaneously... including the building of a cob-house, compost toilets and a field kitchen. Land-care skills are very much valued, as the land here is rich and diverse and always needs attention. There are opportunities to start a veggie-garden or to design permaculture. And the dogs always appreciate a cuddle and a good walk!!

What else ...
Orgiva town is a pretty 15 minute walk from the house. It is dynamic, international, full of interesting people and creative events in everything from belly dancing and yoga to free the inner voice and natural building techniques. There are stunning walks all around in the Alpujarra mountains. There are many international coffee shops in town with interesting, friendly people from different cultural backgrounds - English and Spanish are the main languages spoken. The nearest beaches are a 30 minute drive away.
