Well…. last ten days have been like living inside a dream. You know the feeling of dreams finally coming true? or the feeling of actually earning money from an idea you once had in mind and actually pursued? well… that’s how it’s felt for me.

I’m once again living proof that no matter what you want… you can get it when you are fearless in the pursuit of your goals. As one of the first things we talk upon his arrival “querer es poder”.

He came to work remotely from my dream holiday house as a guest… and simultaneously kind of experiencing the fun retreat experience I had in mind by challenging himself to speak Spanish only after working hours whilst having fun discovering what Granada had to offer as a city in the company of what he thought would be an enjoyable local tour guide as that’s why he booked here with me ;D. And apparently I haven’t disappointed him at all! Read below for his review! ;D

He stayed in the dreamer’s room as that’s what is for and worked remotely from the lounge as I barely use the lounge anyway so I didn’t mind him using one as an office and the other room as his bedroom.

And then after he’s gone I’ve realized that I love the job of hosting and providing for people at home but it’s definitely been like a full time job!!

I thought it would imply less work, but no, it definitely takes time tyding up whatever we had the night before and making every little detail perfect for breakfast the following day; from cleaning the toilet daily surfaces daily to every other surface around the house ensuring all shared spaces were spotless, tidy and well ventilated, as well as having the coffee and breakfast ready before he woke up when he sat down to work Monday to Friday that week. It was all worth it… but prices may go up for next experience like this one.

I also enjoyed having my details here and there, as to me, anyone who hires me is someone helping me make a living out of my skills in a decent and honourable way and these people deserve to see and experience the absolute best of me, that’s how grateful I can be to those who help me make my dreams come true.

So when I noticed he often felt peckish during working hours and indulged snacking on pringles I made sure he had a full stash of them for free before he sat down to work the following day. And also since he prebooked his holidays just a day after his birthday and by doing so he actually became the major miracle I needed to make ends meet till August last year… I definitely felt like I owed him a detail for his belated birthday and did some research on his facebook wall to see what activities he was into, et voilá! something similar was advertised shortly afterwards here in Granada so I booked it and I hope he thoroughly enjoyed it, I certainly did. ;D

And if people come to stay and work remotely from my house and I am in then I could also offer them lunch and he being here has been a great opportunity for me to practice some of my exotic dishes (I forgot to take pictures of) that given the fact that they are usually spicy I barely get to cook for my children.

Some of my exotic dishes even require some specific seasoning that I could only find in England and he was kind enough to search for them and got them free for me before coming here (thank you very much) together with a bottle of Jäger as he wanted to bring something else along with him.

The remainder of his stay here you can see and read in some of the pics below.

As you can see we had ten days of everything but Netflix and chill. Plenty to do outdoors once he finished work!!. Didn’t even sit on the sofa or turn the telly on at all during his stay.

Thanks to him I also felt like I had some holidays as I have spent the whole summer at home trying to spend as little as possible due to some unexpected incidents that impacted my finances on July (like ex husband not paying child support) and just by having him around forced me to finally go outside and experience more of what is like living a life.

In fact I had been wanting to go to Los Cahorros for a year but never got round to. So definitely made the most of his stay here to go hiking, dancing, night clubbing, bowling, throwing darts (those two definitely not my thing XD) playing pool (I nearly won once so more of my thing) playing cards, ensuring he practiced as much Spanish as possible during his stay and learning how to beat him at Backgammon like four times in a row and also teaching him how to play a very traditional Spanish game at which he also won me like two or three times we played in a row. Beginners luck we call it ;D.

And well… I was also extremely lucky that my first guest at my dream home wasn’t a total stranger to me!! In fact Gareth and I actually met in England when I lived over there ages ago and we still have a very good friend of mine in common and kind of very ocassionally stayed in touch via facebook messenger, and those of you who know me actually know that when I write “ocassionally” I actually mean it! I told him several times I was extremely busy. And I was building that dream that he finally got to enjoy.

So being able to provide this experience for someone I could trust not to be a psychopath yet barely knew him personally lent itself for plenty of things to talk about during our tourist outings. I only knew he seemed like fun to be around and easy going and he didn’t disappoint at all. He shocked me with how fast he learns Spanish but even more so with how fearless he is at practicing what he already knows.

And as I mentioned somewhere else most parents hire me as a teacher but really what I’m doing with my pupils is more like coaching them to practice talking in English without the fear of making mistakes or the fear of not being understood. And when it comes to that he didn’t need any of that coaching. So what else can anyone ask for? Dream job if you ask me!!

And with my skills I obviously don’t mean my bedroom skills. Because when it comes to those I definitely deserve an award for the amazing self-control I seem to have in comparison to anyone reading this and thinking I must be having sex with my male customers because that’s probably what they would all do.

Certainly that’s what my ex thinks of me, funnily enough, it seems he doesn’t know most of my customers are hetero women, so I would be poor.

But in my case… having very clear goals in mind makes it easier to stay true to my goals when I really want to, especially when I have a personal challenge to stick to.

And sadly, yes, I feel the need to clarify this because I’m sick and tired of the fact that a woman has to earn money out of working for other women in order for her job to be taken seriously or to be considered as strictly professional.

The moment a woman works closely with a male everyone seems to think he must fancy her or she must fancy him. Why would him or anyone bother travelling and spending that much money just for something he can get for free elsewhere these days?? It doesn’t make sense at all because there are plenty of women out there today giving sex and love for free… why would any good looking guy who earns loads of money pay to get some?.

And yes, most women would like to have what I have that kind of would make a man pay for such an experience just to enjoy my company. But perhaps that’s got nothing to do with sex. But if me being smarter with my time and actually getting paid for spending time in company of quality men would make me a “slut” then you can go and join the club here.

Judging by the positive actions and reactions I often get from men who try to seduce me these days I can tell that most people have never met or seen a wild queen at work before and those who do definitely get to see why we’re wired different than the average woman.

So many many thanks to Gareth for investing time, money and effort coming all the way here to work remotely and by doing so making me extremely happy by allowing me to earn a living thanks to my hosting, teaching and interpersonal skills as well as enjoying his company.

And if you asked me, of course way to go if you want to impress me enough to get a chance to get to know me, obviously that’s the only way I am going to allow men in my life these days until I finish building the life of my dreams.

I can avoid and ignore average men every day, now customers who are kind, friendly and support me on my business, that’s harder to ignore.

But I make a point here to let men who may find me attractive and may think that this could be their chance and ticket to hook up with me…. not to hire me because this is not the nature of my business and they may leave extremely disappointed if they only booked my services hoping to have that kind of access to me. Because, my love is actually free. But having access to me to actually be able to impress me enough as to give them a chance to know me… it’s not. They either find me accidentally or make it happen. I am not selling love, affection or attention.

Any man or woman interested in having sort of an experience like Gareth had (I would call it the V.I.P experience) of being picked up and dropped at the airport, staying here, having breakfast and lunch cooked whilst working remotely and be shown around the best places in town as well as learning Spanish you can book it here now.

If you also want to go hiking long distances, go scubba diving, kayaking, rafting, nightclubbing or things like that in Spanish or in the company of a native then I would be up for it… I can book them in advance for your stay here but such activities will have to be at your expense.

To learn Spanish/English faster though I would recommend an entire week of immersion (only available in summer) or a weekend immersion where you get forced to speak the language you want to learn for three to six days in a row.

And well this experience so far will be for friends of friends, trusted family of trusted friends and viceversa.

Here is what Gareth said about it:

Traducción en Español de su opinión:

“Tuve una estancia verdaderamente increíble con Laura en su preciosa casa. Me quedé durante diez días en una experiencia mixta de trabajo a distancia y disfrutando de conocer Granada y alrededores con Laura como mi fantástica guía turística. También le pedí a Laura hacer un reto inmersivo de español en los días que no estaba trabajando. Laura fue la anfitriona ideal, cocinando, manteniendo la casa inmaculada y también una perfecta profesora de español. […]

Recomiendo encarecidamente una estancia con Laura para cualquier persona, tanto si estás interesado en un intensivo de inglés o español o simplemente para una ruptura con la monotonía. Ella es la anfitriona perfecta con la casa perfecta”. Leer su opinión completa haciendo clic aquí o en la captura de abajo.
