Description
Anyone interested in gazing down at an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean! I'm asking for about 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. I need for you to work in the garden or diy/painting. Or cleaning in the house!
Perfect for digital nomads, though you'll be using your own phone as hotspot. There's no wifi.
This is for people who enjoy RUSTIC and RURAL and your own company! We're heading into winter now.
The cabin is between Pichicuy and La Ballena, 2 hours/178 km north of Santiago. Bus fare of about 5,000/.
The washing machine is broken, but there is a woman a few blocks away who you can pay. Or, maybe one of you can see if you can fix it?
I'm an author/photographer of six books and 100's of magazine articles. I've just finished my first film, set in Africa. I traveled in a van with two dogs for 7 years, have been to over 60 countries. Because of the help of other workawayers, a bull-dozed piece of land has been turned from what a neighbor called a Moonscape into Paradise! Recycled water has been used all over the garden.
