Beschreibung
Hi there, we are a young couple living in Mendoza (in Luján de Cuyo, around 20 km from the Mendoza city). We are a violin maker and a software engineer, and we have 6 cats and 2 dogs, no kids. The idea of helping and cultural exchange sounds like an interesting idea for us. Please note, even when we don't have a lot of experience with workaway, we do have experience hosting people (from France, Canada, Switzerland, US, Colombia, México, England, Italy, Germany, Luxemburg, Brazil, Argentina)... We have been hosting for a while and it has been such a wonderful experience! but now we would like to know more about workaway world too... So, please, contact us if you are willing to help somehow. We would like to meet proactive and collaborative people.

You will be in a relaxed environment. We are flexible, so if you need to take 3 or 4 days off for some reason (travel?), we can reorganize the work in a way that can suit you and us (this would be possible as soon as the task is not Animal Care).
In your free time, you can practice Spanish.
Arbeit
The specific tasks will depend on the moment you arrive, there is a lot of stuff to do, which may include:
- General maintenance: helping us organize, declutter and bring back to life different spaces in the house and Agustín’s workshop that have been left messy or unused. Other tasks may include painting, small construction projects, occasional pool cleaning, general house cleaning, etc.
- Pet/house sitting: if we need to travel, we will need you to feed our pets and take care of them. Watering the garden would be good too! This shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours a day, all the days we are not at home. You can still do whatever you want during the rest of the day (go for tours, etc). We prefer volunteers to arrive at least 1 or 2 days before we depart, so there is time to meet each other (also meet the pets!) and there is plenty of time for any question it may come up.
- Gardening: we have a big garden that needs maintenance, especially in summer.
- Preparing meals: as we don't like to cook, cooking for us sometimes would be nice, especially dinner (cooking for yourself is a must).

If you like wine, Mendoza is all about wine (even when we don't drink much wine and don't use to have wine at home), specifically the tasty Malbec that the surrounding valleys are known for producing. With more than 1200 bodegas (wine cellars) in the area, you’ll have your pick of vineyards and wineries to visit. You can book tours to explore them, rent a bike, go to the near mountains, etc.
Available transport? You have a bus stop 60mts from our house, it is not very frequent but it is still an option (the frequency is about one bus every half hour). It takes you to 'Chacras de Coria' where you can rent a bike, take a winery tour or make some shopping. If you want to go to Mendoza city, you can take another bus from 'Chacras de Coria'.
***Please notice***
- Food:
** Even when you can use whatever is in the house and we usually try to have stored food for some days, take in mind that some days maybe there is not too much in the house. Of course, we will buy/share as much as we can, but you are the main responsible for your food and cooking for yourself.
** We eat meat. Even when lately we are trying to eat less, is one of our favorite meals. So take it in mind if you are vegetarian/vegan.
** We have small groceries stores in the neighborhood, but if you can't get what you need here, you would need to use the bus for going to a bigger store/supermarket. If we are available we can go by car but this may require organizing in advance (if we are on busy days).
- We have very basic cooking equipment, you would have to adapt to it.
- We have 6 cats and 2 dogs, even when there is a lot of space outside, some of them sleep inside. If you don't like cats/dogs or you are allergic, maybe you won't feel comfortable.
- Maximum stay of helpers: it would depend of:
*at the moment: how many tasks to do there are. We don't usually have long-term projects on home-related stuff. We usually decide on the way according to our resources at the moment.
*on how we feel each other sharing this experience.
Let's say 1 week and then we can talk according to the situation but stays usually are not longer than two weeks (unless we have a planned trip longer than that). This period has worked perfectly for us so far, and we look forward to keeping a balance between enjoying help and cultural interchange and being by ourselves too :)
- We are simple and flexible people. Be responsible and don't abuse in any way and we will be all happy :)

We're currently testing a new (and hopefully better) internet provider. So far, so good. It’s supposed to be 500 MB, but in speed tests, we generally get between 40 MB and 200 MB, depending on the time and location.
Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans
We have plenty of physical space (to park, to camp, etc)
Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
Take into account we have 2 dogs and 6 cats. Even when we are open to receive your pets, it can be hard to handle sometimes. So let's talk about this in more detail if this is the case.
