Description
Hi there, thanks for reading my profile. I'm Teun, a Dutch guy in Latin America. Living here about 9-10 years and run a travel agency through Latin America. I live in the jungle close to Medellín on a hill in a 'finca'. The finca is around 5 hectares big with multiple waterfalls and a great natural pool. We have got a lot of food cultivated and try to do everything with a permacultural mindset. It's 2 hours away from Medellín (2,5 by bus, stops in front of the land); the place is called Cocorná. There is many things to do, but it's not touristic for international tourist. Not yet though...because there is great hiking, white water rafting (level IV and even V), abseiling, canyoning, horse back riding, fruit tours, parapente etc. I've got all the contacts so that's easy if you want to enjoy your days of. I travel a lot between Medellín and the finca. Medellín for work / my girlfriend and friends, but the finca is my safe place; I really like to be here and do stuff.
I'm a busy guy; every moment of the day doing something, working on the land, hiking, working on my laptop etc. I hope workawayers will do the same and can enjoy themselves and enjoy the nature and beauty of this place.
There is a lot of animals at my finca; monkeys, snakes, spiders, sloths, birds, dogs, chickens, ducks and two cats; Jungle - finca life!
We're looking for people in june / july who can:
- Are good with photography and marketing (we want to publish better our cabins online with nice photos, videos and social media!) Right now we've got 1 cabin online but we've got 4 in total to offer on different platforms with better photos to make!
I'm not a fan of drugs and overconsumption of alcohol. I Think it's good to make this clear. I've had my party years and not enjoying it anymore. Been there, done that. I'm not looking for clients / workers to get crazy in the finca / jungle. It's a steep place with slippery paths and with sometimes big snakes. Be aware of that :) If you're looking for intense nature; this is it. It's a peaceful gem and you'll love it.
We appreciate aesthetics, cleanliness, and organization, and we ask our volunteers and guests to keep their personal and shared spaces tidy. This helps create a welcoming environment for everyone.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is 1 great guy working and living on the site, he is Colombian. My girlfriend is Colombian and I've got Colombian friends. The area over here is local, I would say it's difficult to find English speaking people here. There are some local bars and small restaurants at 10 minutes driving,.

I haven't got a chef in the house neither Am I. I've got cabins to sleep in. Both are a project as well to make beautiful by the way, I've got photos.
