  Description

  Hello, and thank you for viewing our profile. Just a quick update, we currently aren’t looking to host at the moment. We closed the cafe in February for some much needed renovations, of course with the help of some very good Workawayers. Although there are still many things that need looking at and still ideas and dreams for the cafe I want to do, we have little funds for any projects nor too much time on our hands with training new staff and implementing new ideas and dishes into the menu.
  
  I believe that in the near future we will have time and money again but currently not.
  
  We really appreciate all the messages, support and amazing help that we have had during our journey from our guests in Workaway. For us it has been great.

  Help

  Update, this February/March, we will be changing a few things at our cafe and will need help, unfortunatly we will only consider/give priority to those who have some experience in/are good with DIY or basic construction ideas.
  
  Ideally too, we prefer guests whom are willing to stay for more than one week. Previous succesful workawayers who we have hosted have stayed for long duractions. We have also welcomed back previous workawayers while they travel through santiago on their travels around Chile.
  
  
  If you’re good with wood (some basic carpentry skills) you would be warmly welcome. Our front and back garden would also appreciate help, again, if you have knowledge or are willing that would be great.
