    Description

    Hola,
    Welcome to Puerto Escondido.
    I am building a few small SuperAdobe domes (building with earth). A natural building style using approx 85% of the material from under our feet.
    this is a new thing for me, and am learning so much along the way.

    On the property, we are myself, a beautiful puppy, and a bunch of egg laying chickens.

    the accommodation is pretty rustic. camping either in a tent or hammock.
    but the food will be amazing :)
    I'll provide 2 meals a day and ingredients for the 3rd, and we can take turns cooking, or cook together.
    I love to cook healthy nourishing food.
    the food i supply will be natural and unprocessed. the kitchen is omnivore, but vegetarian can easily and lovingly be accommodated.

    mostly I want help with the building process. you don't need any previously learned skills, only the desire to help and learn. I ask for 5 hrs a day of help from the volunteers.

    The property is about 12 minutes walk from the beach, and about 15 from the main area to go out to cafes, bars , restaurants...La Punta.
    and using public transportation (7 minutes away walking) you can get to other beaches in the area.

    when I'm not working on the property, you will find me training/teaching acrobatics and fitness, giving a massage treatment, dancing, being out in nature, or enjoying tasty food and beer somewhere.
    on your off hrs, you are welcome to do as you please, and would also be welcome to join me in random activities.
