    Description

    Hi!! If you like gardening, horse training, and content creation, this might be a great place for you... Keep reading!

    My objetive is to create a good experience here in Candelario, and you can collaborate with me.


    --IMPORTANT--
    This is not a workplace where you spend hours doing jobs. It’s more like a friendship-based stay where you collaborate and help out.
    We usually spend some hours of the day doing things together (gardening, cleaning, horse riding, etc), with flexibility and good music.
    Also we can do excursions and activities too (I am open to show you everything here, because I enjoy it too)


    --ABOUT ME--
    I am Javier, your host. I’m 36 years old and I’m Spanish. I’ve also been a volunteer in New Zealand, so I know what it’s like to be on the other side of the experience. I really enjoyed it, met some great people and learned a lot from it. So now, I created my own experience.

    I work online, so I spend part of my time (usually early mornings) on my computer, and the rest of the time I like being outdoors, going to the garden, going for walks, riding my bike or helping my uncle with his horse.

    I’m quite easy-going and flexible, so I don’t expect you to follow a strict routine. I think the best volunteer experiences are when both sides feel good and enjoy their time together.

    --QUESTIONS--
    If you want to come, or have any questions, message me and I will answer as soon as possible.
    Age 20-36.
    Initial max stay 1-4 weeks
