    (No matter where in the world you go to, never underestimate the wisdom of local people. No travel or book will ever be able to point you towards an authentic experience the same way a local resident of the place you are visiting can)


    Hi there, I am Nelson {Beaver} and my manager Bush {Dog}. As someone born and raised in Santa Ana-El Salvador . I can be the one to provide the best authentic local experience. I had the opportunity to be a Workawayer in 2014 and to experience how this works perfectly. The type of help I am looking for is towards my community and providing opportunities that we never had while growing up here. English and yoga teachers are a must. To work in some new community projects for the locals in Santa Ana in order to get in touch and learn what life has bee like in country...

    Help us in this journey and get to know Santa Ana and the rest of El Salvador in a very unique and different way- as a local.

    The house is a cozy place in the neighborhood where I grew up, 10 minutes away from the Centre. I never wanted to build up a fancy one but a place where you feel as home and you can have everything needed.

    The type of help is simple; we need people who can teach basic English to local people. some yoga lessons if possible, and many more ideas that you can bring to my people. I am focused and looking for is towards my community and providing opportunities that we never had while growing up here. Drop us a line and we can discuss more about it.
