  • Description

    Description

    We are Carolina and Julien. We live in Ensenada with our cat and two dogs. We have a sustainable tourism project in which we work alone the two of us.
    We traveled throughout the Americas for five years, from Patagonia to Alaska. After that trip, we decided to find a place to settle, and we found this beautiful spot between two volcanoes.
    We need people for farm help, gardening and orchard help, cabin maintenance, eradication of exotic plant species, help with cooking , among other activities.
    We are friendly and respectful people.
    Ensenada is a strategic location for exploring sites of natural and tourist interest.
