Description
Hi travelers, workawayers, backpackers, volunteers!
** Please note that we are looking for volunteers that could stay at least 1 month **
*** Always looking for Interior Designers, Web and Graphic Designers and Web Content Creators!!! ***
We are a new, modern self-check-in house in the historical center of Santa Marta, just 3 blocks from the Caribbean Sea, a 5 min walk from the most popular bars and restaurants and a 10 min walk from the bus stop to all interesting places around (Minca, Tayrona, Palomino etc.) !
Staff consist of three people + volunteers + Chili the cat (sometimes lazy, sometimes spicy).
Señora Yelitza, the cleaning lady + preparing breakfast
Elizabeth, doing admin and everything else that needs to be done.
Dimitri, doing everything Elizabeth didn't do yet.
The place itself has 7 double private rooms (3x double rooms 2x triple rooms, one 4-person room, one 10-person room), a kitchen guests and volunteers can use, a co-working space, a terrace and a small patio/garden.
