Description
Hello, I am Rodrigo(41yo), Monique (40yo) and Maya(7 years old). Monique and I have 5 years of experience living abroad. She stayed 2 years in Australia and another 3 in England, I lived 5 years in UK, we´ve done a master degree in ecotourism at Portsmouth University and worked with tourism since then.
We run a B&B and I a Pub in Itapeva south of the State of Minas Gerais, just 2 hours by Bus from Tiete Bus Station in São Paulo.
Here we have very busy daily operation, can vary from cooking some beer to building a dog house. Our main rooms are built in Sea containers, most of the job in done on site by ourselves.
We need somebody to help with gardening, some ecoprojects, building, maintenance, vegetable garden, as weel as give a hand dealing with guests.
Would be nice to be provided by the traveler some language practice, maybe 1 hour a day, but that will be discussed to arrange the best way to make that happen.
Experience with chain saw and wood work would be nice, gardening will involve cutting the grass and pruning the trees.Types of help and learning opportunities
