  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am very connected in the area with many networks (farmers, Tourism, Universities, local entrepreneurs, and others) . I am very fluid in english. I have leave in Coyhaique for more than 25 years. I am a leader in the community organizing local sports events.
  
  The learning opportunity would be to add new skills and knowledge to live a small sustainable patagonian farm. The opportunity to practice and have equipment to practice outdoor activities in the field. Also the change to practice spanish and learn from a culture chilean experience.
  
  We would be working on a new educational trail in the farm.

  Accommodation

  I have a few options. A small cabin in the woods, that I rent if is not in use this would be available for people of the program, space to set up a tent in the woods (I would provide the tent and sleeping gear).
  
  I always have lots of food at home. I understand, that the idea of work away is a great opportunity to share what we love and do. I would love to learn how to cook food from other parts of the world. I would be happy to buy the food, and learn how to cook.
