We Herbert and Oliva are a retired couple living in the northern mountain range of Veracruz, away from the beaten path, at the edge of a small town (aprox. 9 000 inhabitants). I am German and my wife is Mexican. We are well traveled and still travel a lot.
Our house is on 15 000 m2 fenced land and there is always something to do with maintainance, gardening and carpentry. I am a hobby carpenter myself.
We have 5 dogs (a pair of german shepherds and 2 frenchpoodle females (mini) and a Fox Terrier) So you should love dogs and can get along with them.
We have a couple of employees living in a separate house on the ground.
We live in a very nice region, which offers excellent opportunities for hiking and sightseeing.
The town we live in, has bus service from Mexico City and Tulancingo. Tulancingo is the next bigger town (about 2.5 hours away).
We love to know people from different backgrounds and cultures and to learn from them.

General maintainance work, carpentry (some furniture) and gardening. If it’s a couple, some housekeeping from the couple (cooking and clean up). 5 hours a day Monday to Friday, although we may be flexible on it. You may accumulate hours and take one more day off for sightseeing etc. In exchange you get free accommodation and food. Normally Mexican cuisine, but sometimes I cook german food. If you prefer, you can also use the kitchen and cook something for yourself. We like to learn new recipes.
A minimum of a two week stay is expected. Longer stays are possible.
