Description
Hi, I'm Joaquin (33). I work from home in Bariloche. I usually host travelers through Couchsurfing, but since I need some extra hand I'm here.
The project is at my house. I have been working in the garden with help of workawayers last November and it was super fun (look at the photos of all we've done: fences, leveling the ground, planting grass, building the garden box, retention walls, decks, trash bins, etc). I like to do the work myself, but since I have a job and in my free time I tend to be in the mountains I don't have time left.
PS:
1. only one person at a time.
2. I read all messages, but I get 2 requests per day on average. I don't plan too far ahead. I don't have projects ready to start all the time. It's more likely that I'll accept your request asking to start in the short term. If you are highly skilled and independent I can organize myself and plan ahead to fit a project into your schedule.
3. All the tasks are manual intensive, so bear in mind you will have to have a shovel or lift logs or stuff like that.

My place is 200 meters from a lake, a river, and a mountain. It's a great base to go explore Patagonia! We can go hiking, camping, biking, boating, swimming, climbing, and skiing. Also, I can help you with your Spanish if that's what you're looking for.
