    Description

    We are the SENI family, a family of three: Catherine (36 years old), Victor (44 years old), and Damian (2 year and 5 months old).

    We love spending time in nature and camping outdoors. We enjoy sports like hiking, rock climbing, and bouldering. We've lived in Melipilla for seven years and we love the city because there are so many beautiful places to visit nearby, perfect for hiking or rock climbing.

    We are automotive mechanics by trade. For a couple of years, we ran a mobile auto repair business, and then we started an indoor climbing gym in our backyard in Melipilla.

    Our ongoing project is to improve the bouldering facilities, and lately, we've been getting back into auto repair work.

    Since our work isn't very structured, some days we hardly do anything, and other days we work full days.

    Nos gusta mucho salir a la naturaleza y acampar al aire libre, practicamos deportes cómo senderismo, escalada deportiva y boulder. Vivimos en melipilla hace 7 años nos encanto la cuidad porque Aquí cerca de melipilla hay muchos lugares lindos para visitar, tanto para hacer caminatas o escalada en roca.

    Somos de profesión mecánicos automotriz, tuvimos un par de años una empresa de mecánica automotriz a domicilio y luego nos dedicamos a formar un centro de escalada indoor en nuestro patio trasero en la ciudad de melipilla.

    Nuestro constante proyecto es mejorar las instalaciones del boulder o rocódromo y en el último tiempo hemos estado retomando los trabajos de mecánica automotriz.

    Como nuestro trabajo no es tan estructurado y de horarios flexibles hay días que casi no hacemos nada y otros que trabajamos full día.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I hope you're people who love nature and outdoor sports, and I hope you're also climbers. Even if you don't climb, don't be discouraged; there's always something new to learn, and learning about different cultures is important.

    Ojalas ser personas que les guste la naturaleza y los deportes al aire libre, también ojala sean escaladores.
    Igual si no escalas no te desanimes que siempre hay algo nuevo que aprender y aprender distintas culturas ya es algo importante.

    También es importante tener en cuenta que compartirás con un niño que es muy simpático le gusta mucho compartir con personas y es muy inquietó.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You can go for a jog or hike up nearby hills.

    You can also climb at our climbing area.

    I value orderliness and prefer not to have others wash the dishes; I do that myself.

    We sometimes do mechanical work at home, and the climbing area is open every day, but it isn't noisy and doesn't interfere with daily rest.

    Puede salir a trotar o subir cerros cercanos.

    También puede escalar en muestro patio de escalada.

    Me gusta el orden y no me gusta que me laven la loza, solo yo la lavó.

    En algunas ocasiones trabajamos en mecánica en casa y todos los días el patio de escalada está abierto,pero no es ruidoso y no interfiere con el descanso diario.
