    Description

    Hello, I'm Angela. I've lived in the countryside in Pijao for 12 years, and I decided to return to the mountains to work and contribute to the environmental sustainability of the area, through small actions that enhance biodiversity and the simplicity of life. I live with my dogs and cat, chickens, and everything else in a natural and harmonious space. On this traditional farm, I have a nature and community tourism project. Here, you can help me with various tasks such as: gardening, crop maintenance, trail building, bio-construction, carpentry, and project support, according to your skills. I can also assist with social media, marketing, advertising, and arts. Above all, I hope to share our identity and culture with you. Welcome, everyone.
