Description
We have an immediate opening for a well organized Workawayer. Please contact us if you are vaccinated, and if living in an amazing and beautiful part of the world, tending our organic garden, helping around the house, and helping us make videos sounds appealing.
Thanks for your interest in this post. I am a writer, photographer, chef, and hotelier-now living full time in La Paz. I have had many amazing experiences with volunteers on my other projects over the years, and now am seeking enthusiastic and qualified helpers for my newest project. I am very professional in what I do and will treat you with respect and compassion always.
I have an organic garden that needs tending and some maintenance projects around the house. We want to start a youtube channel dedicated to living like a local in Mexico. I'm also writing a script for a film and would love any kind of help you may be able to provide in the film's shooting or production. I am eager to learn.
Personality, neatness, and grooming are very important.
We are looking for one helper or a couple for a minimum term of two weeks.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
La Paz is an amazing place, full of stunning contrasts and natural beauty. You can be a part of a great project that will show the wonders of the area and living a simple, local life to a worldwide audience. The desert and Sea of Cortez are phenomenal wonders that will affect you profoundly. Aside from great food and comfy accommodation in this premier location, you will gain a great cultural exchange between the American and Mexican way of life, and be accepted here like family. We also have paddle boards and bicycles for your use.
Help
We have an organic garden that needs your help and expertise. I'm learning the craft, but would greatly appreciate someone who knows their way around a garden.
We are also seeking an individual or couple with film making, videography, editing, post production, drone pilot, youtube channel setup and management, SEO, trafficker, etc... experience. I am currently writing a screenplay for a film set in La Paz, Baja California, and want to start shooting B roll with you right away. We will also start a high quality youtube channel about living like a local in Southern Baja and Mexico in general. The channel will feature videos on the sights, beaches, tours, cooking and dining, the challenges of living abroad, shopping and living like a local, restaurant reviews, insider tips, and more. It will eventually lead into a series of videos of our sailing yacht voyage from Seattle or Vancouver to La Paz (in a couple of years, when we have enough followers to make it worthwhile). Your input and skill in this project are important, and will be well regarded, credited, and respected. Come collaborate with me in this beautiful paradise where the desert meets the sea.
MY goal is to have you both in front of and behind the camera for the vlogs, so we can share video hosting duties. I do not yet have a quality video camera so will give preference to you if you have some good equipment and an enchanting onscreen personality. This will be a fun project to participate in.
Volunteer duties would also include some housekeeping, gardening, cooking, and occasional maintenance of the property. Work schedule is 25 hours per week with consecutive days off for you to explore the area. We are looking for energetic helpers with a great personality who like to cook, work as a team, and are great at paying attention to details.Languages
