Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We offer good experiencies and a true local community inmersion due to our close relationship with a farmers and fishermen from the local community. I am a coffee aficionado, so we will have plenty oportunities to try different batches of lovely locally grown magic beans.
We are well experienced in community support as well as agroforestry and coffee. Quite often, a neighbor or two require a hand with an specific task be ready to jump into action.
Help
Gardening, building and repairs. the whole property is pretty small and I am very keen on using the most of the space. Creativity is key. There are activities with neighbors suchs as gardening, cooking, beach cleaning.
