Description
Hi! We are Jamie, Suzan and our chocolate lab Due. After traveling South-America for one year we fell in love with Colombia. 4 years later we came back to find a place to build our lives. And so we did! We are living in the beautiful Jardïn - Antioquia! Here we bought a coffee and banana plantation where we are running our glamping project right now. We are open, friendly and welcoming to everybody with respect for nature and other people.
Our place is about 10 minutes by car (45 minutes walking) from the square of Jardin, in a nice and quiet area. Very green with a lot of birds an other animals.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with us will give you a nice opportunaty to live the local life in Colombia. All our workers and neighbours are Colombian so it will be a great place to practice your spanish and learn more from the farm life here.
Help
After a year of building our project is finished and the glamping is open. That means that the work changed. Depending on the time of the year we can still need some help in and around the house, art projects and gardening (if you have any experience building a vegetable garden that will be great!), picking coffee or other farm work and some help with computer/website/online marketing.
