    in exchange for a round trip ticket to nearby cities
    I can pay for a round trip to Baños one of your days off

    English:
    Hello! I am Abraham, I live in the countryside, in an area on the outskirts of Ambato called Puerto Arturo.
    My house is a quiet place and it is relatively close to Baños (1h30 trip) and Latacunga (1 hour trip).
    I need help to create a self-sustaining garden, I would also like to do some bioconstruction, prepare lunch for you and me
    I would also love to take piano lessons (I have a 36 key keyboard), guitar and English.
    I offer you food (breakfast and lunch that you have to prepare yourself), a private room with a bathroom, you can also use the kitchen, the living room, the laundry room (my washing machine is not very good but it works) and the wifi in the house.
    The deal would be 5 hours of work a day for 5 days a week (3 hours in the garden and two in the kitchen). I buy the food and we prepare it together.
    In addition, I can pay you for round trip bus tickets to Baños, Latacunga, Riobamba or nearby towns that you want to visit on one of your days off (only one city on one of your days off in the week)

    I really like teaching meditation and self-observation methods.
    The house has a quiet environment, away from the noise of the city and that helps one to take a break on their trip and relax and have time to assimilate things from their experiences.
    I can pay the price of your roundtrip bus trip to nearby cities such as Baños, Latacunga, Riobamba, Patate or picturesque towns near Ambato that you want to visit on one of your days off, which will enrich your experiences in this Andean area of Ecuador.

    Español
    Me gusta mucho enseñar métodos de meditación y autoobservación.
    La casa tiene un ambiente tranquilo, alejado del ruido de la ciudad y que ayuda a tomar un descanso en su viaje y relajarse y tener tiempo para asimilar las cosas de sus vivencias.
    Puedo pagar el precio de tu viaje en bus ida y vuelta a ciudades cercanas como Baños, Latacunga, Riobamba, Patate o pueblos pintorescos cercanos a Ambato que quieras conocer en uno de tus días libres, los cuales enriquecerán tus experiencias en esta zona andina del Ecuador.

    If you know how to play the piano or guitar, I would love to receive lessons on this and also for you to help me practice and improve my English.
    If you are not a musician or speak English, you can help me clean the house, prepare lunch every day (under certain indications since for medical reasons I cannot eat garlic)
    Maybe you should go grocery shopping.
    Another activity would be to tend the garden, eliminate weeds, etc.

    Spanish
    Si sabes tocar el piano o la guitarra, me encantaría recibir lecciones sobre esto y también que me ayudes a practicar y mejorar mi inglés.
    Si no eres músico ni hablas inglés puedes ayudarme a limpiar la casa, preparar el almuerzo todos los días (bajo ciertas indicaciones ya que por razones médicas no puedo comer ajo)
    Quizás debas ir de compras al supermercado.
    Otra actividad sería cuidar el huerto, eliminar malas hierbas, etc.

    Also I am part of couchsurfing and I have lived very good times with travelers, cooking together, playing cards, chatting about the interesting things in life. My life is calm and I like to feel part of nature so I volunteer where I teach self-knowledge methods to rescue the consciousness of nature within oneself.
    I would like the volunteers to speak a little Spanish since my English is still very basic
    Something very important: I do not accept drug use at home

    También soy parte de couchsurfing y he vivido momentos muy buenos con viajeros, cocinando juntos, jugando cartas, charlando de las cosas interesantes de la vida. Mi vida es tranquila y me gusta sentirme parte de la naturaleza por eso hago voluntariados donde enseño métodos de autoconocimiento para rescatar la conciencia de la naturaleza dentro de uno mismo.
    Me gustaría que los voluntarios hablen un poco de español ya que mi inglés aún es demadiado básico.
    Algo muy Importante: En mi casa no acepto el consumo de drogas
