    Description

    5 years ago I built a small hostel house in the town of Barra de Valizas, a beautiful place surrounded by beach and nature. In the summer months I receive guests and there are several tasks to distribute. It also works in construction, maintenance, repairs, painting, etc. The project uses a lot of recycled material and wood. The hostel house uses solar energy, well water, dry toilet. For guests and guests there is a kitchen, shared bathroom and shower. Workaways can camp in the garden, and if they don't have a tent, you may find one available. Accommodation inside the house is difficult in the summer months but it is always better to ask about that issue. Ale


    Hace 5 años Construi una pequeña casa albergue en el pueblo de Barra de valizas, un hermoso lugar rodeado de playa y naturaleza. En los meses de verano recibo huespedes y hay varias tareas a repartir. Tambien se trabaja en la construccion, mantenimiento, reparaciones, pintura, etc. El proyecto usa mucho material reciclado y madera. La casa albergue usa energia solar, agua de pozo, baño seco. Para los huespedes e invitados hay cocina baño compartido y ducha. Los workaway pueden hacer camping en el jardin y si no tienen una tienda es posible que halla una a disposicion. El alojamiento dentro de la casa es dificil en los meses de verano pero siempre es mejor preguntar sobre ese tema.
