Description
I live in the middle of the forest over the mountains of Oaxaca state in Mexico. I'm trying to build a camping site and wooden cabins. Also as part of the project, I have to take care of my trees and the flora and fauna of the place. Every raining season I have to plant vegetables as potatoes and also grain or corn. I'm a retired medical doctor and I like to practice the Mexican traditional medicin such as the temazcal bath. I'm single, my family lives in Mexico city so I'm alone by the moment trying to manage all therefore I need help. It's a special and quiet place where you can find inspiration or meditate and reconnect with yourself and nature. It's important to bring your own equipment as tent, layers, sleeping bag, lamp, etc.
