Description
Looking for a house/petsitter over Christmas and New Years
We live in Oriente (one hour outside Medellin), Antioquia, Colombia. We have a running fermented foods business with a passion for plants, animals and cooking. Looking for help taking care of 2 dogs and exchanging our experiences for people interested in getting to know the rural areas of Medellin.
We have one staff member that assists us in basic cleaning and cooking

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Get to know towns such as Carmen de Viboral, La Ceja and Rionegro. We are only 45 minutes from the airport, and an hour from Medellin. You can get to know local markets and work with the surrounding gardeners and organic purveyors. Our house is nestled in the hills, so great for someone who likes walking, running, or biking on beautiful back roads with a variety of paths .
We are always happy to share our vast knowledge of nutrition, cooking methods and stories of many travels past and future.
We have a great record and book library-if you are someone looking to take a break from travelling and relax, this is perfect for you.
Help
We will be away for two weeks and need help maintaining our property, watering plants, and looking after our animals (2 dogs and an independent cat).

Accommodation
Room in our house with private bathroom. We will provide basic essentials such as rice, potatoes, fresh produce from our local garden, sometimes we will cook dinner but breakfast and lunch are for you to cook. We are chefs, our house is always filled with food and we have great cooking equipment.
What else ...
Its all up to you. We have extra motorbikes (150cc honda enduros) to use to explore the wonderful splendor in which we have happily settled. We live in a nice house and preferably would find another couple to share our time here as we travel for work reasons. Need to be self sufficient, self motivated and happy with alone time. We are social introverts (we like a balance of space and quiet for portions of our days, but are always happy to stop for great conversation and games).
We have been in Colombia for 8 years and have many connections throughout Colombia, so if you are looking to connect with other people, we can help you find what you are looking for. We have also travelled extensively in Colombia and give you travel tips/advice.
