Description
Hi! i am Jude.
Born in Cancun to Oaxacan parents, I have lived on other continents and settled in the city of Oaxaca, since 2014.
I created my own project from scratch, bringing together the things I enjoy as art, healing, interior design, meeting people from different backgrounds and life experiences; as well as creating spaces where people feel comfortable and at home. i designed guesthouses were i receive visitors from México and all over the world.
my life style is pretty healthy, i enjoy running, yoga and meditation. i dot smoke and i am curious about sobriety. i like music, dancing, arts in general and everything related to self development. i am very curious about anything that can potentially help me to become a more whole human.
the ideal volunteer has some experience in maintenance in general and is strong enough to use a drill, move furniture, etc, and is willing to help us during 3 weeks or one month in april/may, where the main objective is to "give a little bit of love" to the guest houses. example of the tasks are :
painting walls (not artistic but general painting), basic repairs, garden maintenance, furniture varnishing, helping to clean if we have too much work that day, using the drill to install curtain holders/mirrors (and that they are not loose like when I do it), and others. You will be collaborating directly with me and my house keeper. ideally to have driver licence and know how to drive with stick (non prioritaire but please let me know if you have this and what kind of experience you have from all this!) please only apply if you have some experience on the listed above!
a big plus would be someone willing to do a little english exchange with the staff/ someone with good energy, willing to help us and immerse in Oaxacan culture :)
