  Description

  Hey guys!
  
  I'm Alicia en Oz an urban artist living in Puerto Rico.
  
  For the last 16 years I have travel the world staying everywhere and had many good experiences.
  
  Now that I'm finally back home, I'm working on transforming and renovating my family homes into a colorful, good vibe, warm library.
  
  There are four houses that need love and we just bought three trailers that are in Santurce and need work too!!
  
  Two houses are in Santurce, one in Bayamon, one in Maunabo and now three trailers in Santurce. Just a 20min away from the beach!
  
  We are looking mostly for workaways construction experience. We do video interviews via whatsapp.
  
  We don't have schedules, we work with task and monitor those task. We provide private rooms and dorms bed, weekends off (unless there's some kind of agreement or emergency), basic groceries (workaways have to cook their own food), sometimes we give u a bottle of rum or wine for the weekend (depends of how was your performance during the week:), and if u want to, we can help u organize your free time to see or visit different parts of the island.:)
  
  Text us for more details!
  
  One of the house is in the middle of 3 acres of land full of mango, breadfruit, avocados, plantains and I don't know what else but you are welcome to explore! We have a modest wooden house there where you can stay or work there too.
