    Description

    Hello! My name is Jai. I live with my son Aaron in the Sierras De Rocha, in Uruguay. Our goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible. We produce the electricity offgrid and we have water from a source. We have a big garden to take care, and we also have a lot of animals ( 21 Pigs, 100 Chickens, 3 cats and a dog). We are producing smoked sausages and dry meat. And yes we eat meat. But just from the farm. We are looking for people who love animals in general.

    We like to enjoy the cultural exchange, especially the food and the music. From time to time we make trips around the Sierras and the beach. In summer there´s a market in the neighborhood every week, that you can go to enjoy good music and food also.
    I speak German, French and Spanish so we can practice one of these languages together.
