Description
Hello everyone! Our names are Verónica and Axel.
Verónica has a big heart for animals and is trying to help whenever she can. She loves to practise yoga and is interested in nutrition and spending time in nature. Axel is working as a motortourguide and is on the road many days a month sleeping somewhere else. He loves to spend the evenings in front of the chimney with good talks when he is at home.
We have a small charity for animal protection and live in the countryside in the Sierra the Grazalema. At home we have 7 rescued dogs (Coco, Nes, Sia, Mia, Stevie, Manu and Yaco) and 4 cats (Sol, Floki, Tina and Simba). We also have 3 donkeys and a horse that are currently in the place where Verónica works. On our huge property we have a veggie garden and 4 chickens. On the other side of the road ther is an access to a beautiful river, the perfect spot for taking a bath or doing yoga.Types of help and learning opportunities

For me, was the first travel by myself, and also the first experience of workaway. I was really scared! And I had no idea how it would be to live and work in a place totally out of my 'comfort zone'. I have to admit that was difficult to adapt to this new situation. But when you can… read more
