  Description

  Hello everyone!
  
  I am looking for 2 persons who want to stay at my place and take care of my animals and home. I would like to go to switzerland in june..but I am flexible with the month and date. You need to come at least one week before I leave to show you everything and to make sure that you can do it all alone.
  
  The work is feeding my animals (3dogs, 1cat, 1chicken), take my dogs for their daily walks and some cleaning. Its max 2 hours work daily. You need to be an animal lover and know how to treat them..they are my everything. Also you need at least to speak some spanish to be able to comunícate. I have a scooter you can use to visit the nearby villages and beaches.
  ________
  
  My name is Nina, I am from Switzerland and I am 35 years old. I'll tell you briefly... a two years ago I bought a piece of land here on the Pacific coast of Mexico in a small fishing village. It is in the middle of the forest, although I have neighbors nearby, they are not in sight. So I'm kind of hidden, so to speak. However, in time there will be growth and roads here, because at the moment my house can only be reached by a small forest road.
  
  I built a small wooden Cabin, there is a fully stuffed kitchen and also a little Chillout Place and two hamacs to relax The toilet is composting, without much luxury but functional. I have a solar panel which allows me to light me the nights here, charge my phone and laptop or to connect my sewing machine. I don't have a fridge.
  
  I live here with three Dogs, a Cat and one Chicken (she does not give eggs anymore but she walks free around and hangs out with us together)
  
  The nearest beach is only a 15-minute walk away. In the area there are several beautiful beaches, small and also larger ones.. Zipolite and Mazunte are very close to my village easy to reach by bus or taxi.
  
  There's everything here. Crawling animals from tarantulas, snakes to scorpions, but also many different ants. I do not use any chemical insecticide. My goal is to live in harmony with nature, adapt to it and not the other way around. the nights are beautiful, especially when the moon illuminates everything.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I live outside the tourist area, here life goes on at a different pace and I will be happy to give you a little insight. I am good friends with some of the local families and would be happy to take you to see how they live. If you want to know how to make tortillas or the local cuisine in general, this is your place. I will be happy to show you around, the different beaches here are beautiful and within walking distance. There are also wonderful forest roads, which are especially beautiful in the rainy season, when everything is green.

  Help

  Whether you have a green thumb, permaculture experience, or just love plants, I have all kinds of opportunities for you to get involved. I have a small mountain of clay available and would also like to learn more about its processing. This can range from ceramics to small constructions.
  
  As I mentioned before, I have some animals here and it would be a great help to me if someone would take some responsibility off my shoulders, feed the animals, go for walks, give medical attention to any sick animals.
  
  Occasionally taking care of the house and the pets would also be a possibility for me to get out of here a bit, knowing that my house is in good hands.

  Accommodation

  I can offer you a place in my hamacas or in my chillout. Or my bed and I sleep in the hamac (i love sleeping in hamacs)
  
  What I cannot offer directly is three meals a day. However, I suggest we sleep and cook together whenever possible. Otherwise you can cook your own food. I dont have a fridge. However, many vegetables and fruits can be kept for quite a long time. If you like meat or fish, you can easily get it here in the village, as well as everything else. About a five minute walk away, you will also find the nearest small shop, where you can find everything you need to cook, eat something or have a cold drink.

  What else ...

  For me it is important that it is open and uncomplicated. You should not be afraid of the dark and all kinds of insects, spiders and snakes. There are some poisonous, but most are harmless. You must love and respect nature.
  
  If all this applies to you, you will have a wonderful and memorable stay here.
  
  There are three nearby beaches that can be easily reached on foot (playa panteon, playa Estacahuite, playa la mina)
  
  Next to Puerto Ángel is Zipolite, 15 minutes away by bus, with its famous nudist beach. If you like to party, in Zipolite you will find everything your heart desires. A little further on is Mazunte, a magical town.
  
  In Pochutla, the nearby town, you will find a large market every Monday with vegetables, fruits and all kinds of things at reasonable prices. Puerto Escondido is less than two hours away, as is Huatulco. You'll find gorgeous bays and beaches everywhere, and of course I'll be happy to give you some first-hand tips.
