  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  While caring for my cats during my absence, you’ll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the serene lifestyle of the Colombian Andes. You can enjoy scenic mountain walks, connect with the rhythms of nature, and sip world-class Colombian coffee while taking in breathtaking views.
  
  This is a perfect opportunity to step away from the busy city life and experience a slower, more mindful way of living. You'll gain insight into Colombian culture, explore local foods and customs in La Calera, and possibly even exchange ideas around yoga, wellness, or creative freelancing if that interests you.
  
  Thank you for considering this opportunity—I look forward to connecting with like-minded travelers!

  Help

  I run freelance projects related to yoga, wellness, and media, and I’m often traveling—so I’m looking for a responsible and caring traveler to stay at my place and help with a few key tasks.
  
  🐾 Caring for My Cats
  I have two sweet cats who are now well-adapted to their home but need daily playtime and companionship. They’re calm but can be sensitive to noise, so a peaceful atmosphere is important.
  Your responsibilities will include:
  
  Feeding them and giving them fresh water daily
  
  Keeping them indoors at all times
  
  Cleaning their litter box regularly
  
  Spending time with them and playing
  
  Taking out the trash
  
  🏡 Helping Around the Apartment
  To keep the space comfortable and clean, I’d appreciate help with simple chores such as:
  
  Watering plants
  
  Sweeping floors
  
  Keeping the bathroom tidy
  
  🌿 What You’ll Get
  In exchange, you’ll have your own peaceful space with high-speed internet, incredible mountain views, and a quiet environment—perfect if you work remotely or need inspiration from nature.
  
  If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I’d love to hear from you!

  Accommodation

  You’ll stay in a cozy private room with a comfortable bed in a peaceful apartment surrounded by beautiful mountain views. The space is calm, clean, and perfect for relaxing or working remotely.
  
  You’re welcome to bring and cook your own food. I’m mostly vegetarian, so I kindly ask that you avoid heavy meat cooking out of respect for the shared space.
  
  La Calera has everything you need just minutes away—local shops, restaurants, and convenient laundromats. While you're here, take time to unwind, enjoy the peaceful setting, and feel at home in this tranquil environment.

  What else ...

  Getting Here & Exploring the Area
  Transportation from Bogotá to La Calera is simple and affordable. Buses run every 15–20 minutes from Calle 72 and Carrera 13, near a TransMilenio station. Just hop on a Transportes Teusacá bus (approx. $6,200 COP), and you can easily walk to the apartment from the last stop. Alternatively, Uber or private drivers can bring you directly—I’m happy to share contact info for trusted local transport.
  
  Things to Do Around La Calera
  La Calera is a peaceful mountain town with plenty to enjoy during your stay. In your free time, you can:
  
  Take scenic walks or hikes right from the apartment
  
  Explore the local cafés, markets, and restaurants in town
  
  Visit the stunning Páramo de Chingaza, a high-altitude natural reserve perfect for hiking and wildlife spotting
  
  Plan a day trip to Guasca or other charming nearby towns
  
  Sip fresh Colombian coffee while watching the clouds roll over the Andes
  
  Experience a local sauna or thermal spa for deep relaxation
  
  Whether you're looking for nature, wellness, or just a quiet place to recharge, La Calera offers a perfect balance of beauty and simplicity.
