WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS ASAP!!!!
PLEASE READ OUR PROFILE CAREFULLY AND WRITE US IF YOU ARE INTERESTED :)
Hello travelers! We are Andres and Blanca from Costa Rica and Barcelona. We have traveled for a while to find a beautiful place here in Dos Amates, near Catemaco (State of Veracruz). It is an incredible area, surrounded by green, waterfalls and birds. A few months ago we settled here and although we have already done a lot of work there is still a lot to do!
We have a land of 1000 square meters, a house and a bamboo hut to host workaways and 2 more cabins for rent.
We both have experience in workaway (Andrés as a host and Blanca as a volunteer) and we have had incredible experiences with workaways around the world. We have met amazing friends and... we even met each other by workaway!!
We have been working with workaways for a long time now, and we are so happy with all the experiences and help we received! Please keep reading to know what kind of help we are needing now.
- We need help with social media
- We need to keep the garden clean (be ready to use your hands and a machete!)
- We need help cleaning our house and cabins
- We need help with the kids
- Do you have artist skills? Are you creative? There are lots of empty spots in our land that need a magical touch!
- Sometimes, some heavy work might be needed: strong hands are welcome!
- If you have specific skills, I am sure they will be useful.
Please be ready to do different kind of jobs!
We are now asking for only 3 HOURS OF WORK / 5 DAYS A WEEK.
We are not providing any meal.
We want nice people, with good energy and willing to enjoy time with us and in the area.
Here it is beautiful, with many waterfalls, birds, 40 min from the beach, lakes... If you like nature, if you like sharing, if you like the sense of a small community, ... this is your place !
