    Hi, my name is Daniel!
    During this rainy season, the river next to my house overflowed and flooded the place. Everything's okay, though, super dirty but okay. However, I don't think this little house will withstand a second flood, so I decided to build a new house out of mud further downstream (away from the river). I need a lot of help with this, and a friend who's a bio-architect has joined the project and is guiding me.
    Do you want to help and be part of this beautiful moment? Instead of seeing something sad, let's see an opportunity to grow and do more!
    We have good internet at the house!

    Hola me Llamo Daniel!
    En estas épocas de lluvias el rio al lado de mi casa se desbordó y se entro, mas bien todo está bien, super sucio pero bien, aunque esta casita no creo que vaya a aguantar un segundo desborde del río, así que es entonces que en otra parte mas abajo (lejos del rio) decidí construir mi casita con barro, para lo cual necesito mucha ayuda, un amigo Bio Arquitecto se sumó al proyecto y me está guiando.
    Quieres ayudar y ser parte de este hermoso momento? donde en ves de ver algo triste, nos permitimos ver una oportunidad para crecer y hacer más!
    Tenemos un buen internet en la casita!

    And above all, we'll learn a lot about bioconstruction.

    y sobre todo aprenderemos mucho sobre la bio construcción.

    Hello! I invite you to be part of a green construction project where we use adobe and other natural materials to create a sustainable home in harmony with the environment. If you're interested in learning ecological techniques, connecting with the earth, working with your hands, and sharing with conscious people, this is your place. More than building a house, we seek to build community, share meaningful experiences, and grow together in respect for nature. Your help will be very valuable, and you'll take away new learnings and friendships!

    I'm offering a new tent with a 3000 mm water column so you can stay with some quilts for the coming winter. In the small house, which is now more like a storage and workshop, I have a kitchen and refrigerator where you can prepare whatever you want. We also have a small bathroom.
    As for food we have a kitchen equipped with pots, pans, a fridge so you can prepare what you want, there is a market nearby to shop depending on what you eat, we can cook together, but in the house we prefer not to eat meat.

    En cuanto a la comida tenemos una cocina equipada con ollas, sartenes, una heladera para que se puedan preparar lo que deseen, hay un mercado cerca para hacer compras dependiendo a lo que comen, podemos cocinar juntos, pero en la casa preferentemente no se come carne.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    My parents live next door, so we have to be respectful of them, as it's their space too. The house is very close to the city, but at the same time a bit far from it, so we can have a peaceful space.

    Mis padres viven al lado, así que hay que tener en cuenta que hay que ser respetuosos con ellos que también es su espacio.
    La casa es muy cerca de la ciudad pero a la ves un poco alejada para tener un espacio de paz.
