    Description

    I'm French and have been living in Colombia for 10 years. My project involves maintaining a sustainable and welcoming farm that combines coffee production, rural tourism, and family life. I'm passionate about sharing meals, stories from the region, and, of course, my coffee culture.

    IMPORTANT: I'm looking for help in two different ways depending on the dates: August 5-28 (House Sitting for Vacation): My daughter and I are going on vacation to France and are looking for a responsible, independent couple who are comfortable in the countryside. During these three weeks, the work is strictly house-sitting. You'll only need to be present at night, feed the dogs and cats, water the flowers, and give them lots of love. No construction, heavy maintenance, or farming is required during this period. I'll be here to welcome you, spend a few days with you before you leave, and give you all the necessary instructions. :)

    The rest of the year (Normal Operation): When I'm on the property, I love having volunteers join us and help with general maintenance, gardening, and small DIY projects. It's a team effort where we share the day-to-day responsibilities to ensure the property remains a magical place for my two young daughters and our guests.


    Soy francés y llevo 10 años en Colombia. Mi proyecto consiste en mantener una finca sostenible y acogedora que combina la producción de café, el turismo rural y la vida familiar. Me apasiona compartir comidas, historias de la región y, por supuesto, mi cultura cafetera.

    IMPORTANTE: Busco ayuda en dos modalidades diferentes según la fecha:

    Del 5 al 28 de agosto (Cuidado de la finca por vacaciones):
    Nos vamos de vacaciones a Francia con mi hija y buscamos a una pareja autónoma y responsable que se sienta cómoda en el campo. Durante estas tres semanas, la labor es estrictamente de cuidado y presencia (house-sitting). Solo hay que estar presente durante la noche, alimentar a los perros y gatos, regar las flores y darles mucho amor. No se requiere ningún trabajo de construcción, mantenimiento pesado ni labores de cultivo durante este periodo. Yo estaré aquí para recibirles, compartir unos días antes de salir y darles todas las instrucciones. :)

    El resto del año (Funcionamiento normal):

    Cuando estoy presente en la finca, me encanta recibir voluntarios que quieran integrarse en nuestro estilo de vida y ayudarme con el mantenimiento general, el jardín y pequeños proyectos de bricolaje (DIY). Es un trabajo en equipo donde compartimos el día a día para que la finca siga siendo un lugar mágico para mis dos hijas pequeñas y nuestros huéspedes.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Living on my farm is an immersion in rural life in San Agustín. As a Frenchman, I've lived in Colombia for 10 years and am the father of two Colombian daughters. So I have the necessary experience to bridge the gap between our two cultures.


    Vivir en nuestra finca es una inmersión en la vida rural de San Agustín. Como francés he vivido en Colombia durante 10 años y soy padre de dos hijas colombianas. Entonces tengo la experiencia necesaria para ser el puente entre ambas culturas.
