Description
We are a couple living for the last 2 years now in a house under construction in Curití, Santander. Our house is located in a gated community with access to a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym with amazing views and cobbled streets ("Barichara Style") just a 10 minute walk to the centre of Curití.
We have one senior dog (a rescued mix-labrador) and three cats that we love a lot, so what we ask first of all is that you love pets as well.
Thanks to Workaway we have made lovely new friends and is because We strongly believe in the Power of thougts and how energy works, soooo We love to share and exchange positive energy, and, we also expect from you a sincere positive attitude :D
We have a room with a double bed, private bathroom, desk and lovely balcony available for our guests - daily coffee or herbal tee and breakfast included :) - and you may use the kitchen to prepare your meals. Altough our schedules are becoming more flexible - Pedro usually works 2-3 days per week in Bogotá and Eliana (me) sometimes stay some nights away from home working as a tour guide or entrepeneur.
I (Eliana) also work with my local travel agency creating new experiencies based on the culture and nature of this region, so any help is really aprecciated in this respect - for example, creating digital content, helping to explore new routes, translation, and more. I am part of a collective that create experiences related to sustainability and patrimony, and I also love hiking!!!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our priority is to build a healthy style of life in a hollistic way, and share that with our new friends :)
You are going to learn also about the culture of Santander, especially gastronomy, also about the economics, history, music and politics from this country.
Help
Since we sometimes don´t spent a lot of time at home, we need help taking care of our pets (taking Caramelo for short walks, feeding the animals, cleaning the cat litter), watering plants and cleaning a little bit the house.
If you have experience as Yoga Teacher or any other practices related with wellness such as healthy recipes, it would be great if we have a nice exchange, we're building a comunnity of Friends in Curití related with those fields, so, any of your talents in this respect will be fully appreciated!.
We also need to practice and improve English. Since I (Eliana) regularly create scripts and content for new experiences for tourists, your feedback and support will be totally appreciated!
The time we expect from you to help us is aprox. 2 -3 hours per day, 5 days /week. Depending of the amount of time we´re spending at home the tasks are flexible, that´s something we plan the first day you get to our house,
ATTENTION:
Due to prior experiencies we only host couples or solo women (sorry guys but that's how it works for us)

What else ...
Curití is just 20 minutes away by bus from San Gil (Colombia`s adventure capital!) where there are many activities that you can participate in: rafting, abseiling, paragliding, caving and hiking. There are also beautiful villages nearby, such as Barichara and Villanueva, that you can explore and learn about the culture and history whilst admiring the amazing landscapes.
We have a lot of contacts and good recommendations about what to do (and how) in the area, and if we have enough time, we can take you to a beautiful natural swimming spot that is just 3 km from the house: Pescaderito !!!
