  Beschreibung

  Mexico hostel. Here's an opportunity to visit San Cristobal de las Casas and meet the most popular maestro (teacher) of salsa and bachata in Chiapas. We have this little project called a hostel, and we need someone to help us prepare it. If you dance something already, we can provide for you a salsa and bachata class if you like it. Any questions?:)

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Practising Spanish through conversation, learning and dancing salsa and bachata with an experienced maestro, and enjoying the rich cultural experience of Chiapas. San Cristóbal is one of the most beautiful towns here — that’s why people call it magic. The weather is perfect for living (not too hot - like on the beach, usually it's more around 25°C). Here’s a large local market where you can buy very cheap and organic fruits and vegetables (Chiapas is much cheaper compared to other states). You can find delicious mangos for 10–15 pesos per kilo in season, avocados for 18 pesos per kilo and much, much more.
  There’s also a nice international community here. People living in Chiapas are coming from all over the world. Many artists are developing or sharing their skills in San Cris. You can find here all kinds of classes: yoga, theatre, making chocolate, cacao ceremonies, temazcal, etc. From our side, we can show you on the map which places you have to visit, so you won't regret it:)

  Building Help Wanted 🛠️
  If you have building experience, let us know which project you’d like to help with 🙂
  
  1. Right now:
  We’re looking for someone to help our current volunteer build a small cabana. It would be great to have another person (for example, a strong helper) to work alongside him. For this project, experience isn’t strictly necessary — strength and motivation are more important 🙂
  2. Sauna project:
  If you have experience building a wooden garden sauna, that’s something we’d be very interested!
  3. Another possible project:
  Building a small wooden storage house (approx. 2m x 1m x 2m) for garden tools and a lawnmower, using pallets (including taking boards apart and reusing the wood).
  
  Hospitality
  We’re looking for someone to help with hospitality tasks: changing beds, cleaning common areas, and occasionally welcoming guests (we have just six rooms).
  We need someone reliable who can:
  -Change sheets and sometimes hang the laundry
  -Clean 2 bathrooms
  - Vacuum and mop the floors
  - Keep the space tidy once or twice a day (that means if you're working in the morning, you can clean the floor in the evening in the kitchen or take out trash if it's full - kitchen, bathrooms).
  It’s usually an easy job and takes about 1–3 hours a day — we also help with it. If there’s not much to do in the hostel, we often need help in the garden too. If you’re quick and efficient, it usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours a day. That’s around 10–15 hours per week.
  
  Artists & Creatives
  We’re looking for artists with a portfolio to paint Aztec-style or similar motifs on the walls—maybe a big mandala on the terrace, or something crazy and cool. Musicians, yoga teachers, and other creatives are also welcome. We have plenty of space on the terrace and in the garden, and we’re open to your ideas for collaboration. For example, if you bring people to stay at the hostel, you can use a space to run a workshop and receive accommodation (naturally, we need to know this before).
  
  Yoga teachers & other open-air classes - our suggestion
  Usually, we don’t have enough guests interested in classes to make a proper-daily exchange. However, if you invite a minimum of 3 people per day to stay at our hostel, you can stay for free that night in the shared room and also have space to give classes at your own price (you could offer a small discount for hostel guests). For people coming only for classes, we would take around 20% to cover basic costs such as toilet paper, water and taking care of general security. We have two used yoga mats, a very large garden, and an open terrace space suitable for around 20 people practising yoga (for example) comfortably.
