    Description

    Hola, mi nombre es Paola, tengo 34 años y vivo en San Francisco, Cundinamarca desde hace un año. Desde que llegué, me enamoré de este lugar: su tranquilidad, el rio, los paisajes, el aire limpio y la vida sencilla.

    Ahora he decidido dar un paso más y comenzar a adecuar una casa rústica en un lugar muy hermoso, rodeado de montañas, árboles y caminos rurales. Mi idea es convertir esta casa en un espacio de hospedaje alternativo, sencillo pero acogedor, donde las personas puedan descansar, reconectarse con lo natural y disfrutar de la vida lenta del campo.

    Estoy empezando con las primeras adecuaciones: pintura, arte, detalles en madera y reparaciones básicas. Por eso, estoy buscando voluntarios que quieran ayudar con tareas creativas y prácticas, mientras compartimos experiencias, buena comida y tiempo en medio del verde.

    Hello, my name is Paola, I am 34 years old and I have been living in San Francisco, Cundinamarca for a year. Since I arrived, I fell in love with this place: its tranquility, the river, the landscapes, the clean air and the simple life.

    Now I have decided to go a step further and start to adapt a rustic house in a very beautiful place, surrounded by mountains, trees and rural roads. My idea is to turn this house into a simple but cosy alternative accommodation space, where people can rest, reconnect with nature and enjoy the slow life of the countryside.

    I am starting with the first adaptations: painting, art, wooden details and basic repairs. Therefore, I am looking for volunteers who want to help with creative and practical tasks, while sharing experiences, good food and time in the middle of the greenery.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Staying in my rustic home in San Francisco is much more than a volunteer opportunity: it is an experience of cultural exchange, connection with nature and mutual learning. As a host, I will welcome you as part of my family and my day-to-day life. We will share meals, stories and moments of tranquillity or creativity in the countryside.

    This project is born out of a love for sustainability, simplicity and community life. During your stay you will be able to experience rural Colombian life, taste typical food, visit the local village market and explore nearby waterfalls and nature trails.

    I love to exchange ideas and learn about other ways of living. I am happy to share what I know about life in the countryside, local plants, traditional cooking and, if you wish, to practice Spanish with you. In return, I am interested in hearing about your experiences, skills and personal projects.

    You will be part of creating a beautiful and peaceful space for others to enjoy, and I hope you will take with you new friendships, inspiration and a little piece of Colombia in your heart.

    Quedarse en mi casa rústica en San Francisco es mucho más que una oportunidad de voluntariado: es una experiencia de intercambio cultural, conexión con la naturaleza y aprendizaje mutuo. Como anfitriona, te recibiré como parte de mi familia y de mi día a día. Compartiremos comidas, historias y momentos de tranquilidad o creatividad en el campo.

    Este proyecto nace desde el amor por la sostenibilidad, la sencillez y la vida comunitaria. Durante tu estadía podrás conocer la vida rural colombiana, probar comida típica, visitar el mercado local del pueblo y explorar cascadas y senderos naturales cercanos.

    Me encanta intercambiar ideas y aprender sobre otras formas de vivir. Estoy feliz de compartir lo que sé sobre la vida en el campo, las plantas locales, cocina tradicional y, si lo deseas, practicar español contigo. A cambio, me interesa conocer tus experiencias, habilidades y proyectos personales.

    Serás parte de la creación de un espacio bonito y tranquilo para que otros lo disfruten, y espero que te lleves nuevas amistades, inspiración y un pedacito de Colombia en el corazón.
