Description
Hey girls and guys!!
Tom, Lydia, Raya (the baby) and Syd (the sausage dog) here. We are from the UK and have started a small project in the mountains of Colombia!
We are starting off the project by building somewhere more permanent to live with our new baby, in the mean time we plan to develop a natural pool and some cabañas!
We are pretty close to Tayrona park and even closer to Los Cocos beach!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Everyone who will join the project will get to know our family and neighbours! They include some English/Spanish and even Kogi (indigenous )speaking neighbours! Plenty of culture, plenty of things to learn. As we don’t only have building going on, we also have a permaculture and aquaculture project. So you can get your hands dirty even if building isn’t your thing!!
We hope that our Workawayers will leave as good friends and want to return in the future to see how the project is progressing.
