    Description

    Hello travelers!!
    My name is Andrés (45).
    Every once in a while, I use this platform to ask for help with a project.
    This time, I need to finish a lot of things I started building but haven't finished the details yet.

    I'm finishing building a kitchen, a laundry room, a gym, a workshop, and other things.
    Also, I'll soon start building a greenhouse, and for that, I need to prepare the garden.
    You don't need to know anything; we'll work together. I'll teach you what I can. We'll learn together, and I'm sure you'll teach me a few things too.

    In my projects, I like to hear ideas and try to include some details that remind us of your visit.
    You'll see that our house has some details that were ideas from different volunteers who have been here before.

    It's important to us that you feel like family, that you enjoy talking, laughing, and sharing with us.
    We like to go out and explore new places. We go to the beach, trails, bike parks, skating, etc. And we'd love for you to join us and be a part of it too.
    This way, we'll practice our language skills and get to know new places and cultures.

    we can only accommodate one person at a time.
    We have a small cabin for you. It's very comfortable and only 15 meters from our house.

    Help

    The idea is that we work together
    We don't have a work plan.
    We'll adapt according to the weather. If it's raining, we'll work on finishing things inside the house or at the gym, and if it's sunny, we'll work on finishing things outside.

    The idea is to work from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
    This way, you'll have time for lunch and have the afternoon free to go out or spend time with us at home.
