Description
I was born in the USA however home for me has been in Nepal for the past 11 years. Over the years I’ve lived in Boliva working on a permaculture farm helping with the cows and making dairy products and Iv’e also down work away workings with cows in Argentina and absolutely loved it! I love it so much and I enjoy the process of learning how to make the products and care for the animals/especially the baby cows! I really want to learn more about working with different kinds of animals on farms (especially cows, horses and sheep). I’m returning to South America to work on my Spanish and get back into the farm work and lifestyle!

My two months at Juan’s place was really great. The estancia being in the Sierras is incredible beautiful and wonderful. Juan is a very inviting, patient and nice person and it allowed me to practice my Spanish a lot. We had a lot of fun days together hanging out in auctions or playing music in the evenings!

Alena was with us for two months at the ranch. She is a very good person and friend.
