    Description

    I am Lissette and I live in Patagonia with my family. I am an agronomist by profession and a lover of agroecology. In the last few years of my life I have worked in environmental education and my future project is to implement learning gardens in kindergartens throughout the country. I also have a business in crafts and trades. I spent many years as an amateur mountaineer and I hope to continue doing so when my son grows up.

Además tengo un emprendimiento de artesanías y oficios. Pase muchos años siendo montañista aficionada y espero continuarlo cuando mi hijo crezca.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our family has local and pioneer descent from the Aisenino territory, so the historical and cultural knowledge will be shared and transmitted to all our travelers. I am an agronomist by profession and an artist, my partner is an agricultural technician and a lifelong livestock farmer, and is also a practitioner of a trade that he shares and teaches daily, the rational taming of wild horses and the work in gaucho rope making (leather) for the manufacture of muzzles, reins, maneas and lassos that we use and sell.

    Nuestra familia tiene descendencia local y pionera del territorio Aisenino, por lo que los conocimientos históricos culturales serán compartidos y transmitidos a todos nuestros viajeros. Yo soy agrónoma de profesión y artista, mi pareja es técnico agrícola y ganadero de toda su vida, además es cultor de un oficio que a diario comparte y enseña, la doma racional de caballos ariscos y el trabajo en soguería gaucha (cuero) para la fabricación de bozales, riendas, maneas y lazos que utilizamos y comercializamos.

    We moved to my partner's family farm, which is used for livestock purposes and is a refuge for sheep and cows during the winter months (during the summer all the cattle are in another field). In the spring-summer the jobs will be working in the garden, tidying up the animal handling spaces, building or repairing fences, and cleaning the field (building piles of fallen sticks during the winter). In addition, he helps to take care of our little son so he doesn't get into trouble and build inventive and experimental games for his growth and learning.

    Nos mudamos al campo familiar de mi pareja, este tiene fines ganadero y es el refugio de ovejas y vacas durante los meses de invierno (Durante el verano todo el ganado esta en otro campo). En la primavera-verano los trabajos serán trabajar la huerta, ordenar los espacios de manejo animal, construir o reparar cercos, limpieza de campo (armar rumas de palos caídos por el invierno). Además ayuda a cuidar a nuestro pequeño hijo a no caer en problemas y construir juegos de ingenio y experimentales para su crecimiento y aprendizaje.
