    Description

    I am Germán son of Rosa and Marco, who live in the countryside near Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador (30 minutes from the city by taxi). Because they do not have internet access I make this profile for them. They live in a small community called LOMA GRANDE. They have 9 children but now they live alone and there love to meet people from other countries and share their life in the countryside with them. Both of them work in agriculture and care for animals such as chickens, guinea pigs, pigs and cows. They also have dogs and cats.

    I work as adventure sports guide in Baños. I heard about the workaway page and I decided with my parents to open this profile so that people can know what life in the country is like and so that my parents get help and company.

    To get to the village you have to pay a taxi for 8 dollars and to return you can go out in the cars that leave there, my parents can always help you find a car. If you want to stay in the city of Baños you can stay in my house too. Please contact me if you have any further questions.

    I speak some English, but my parents do not.


    Soy Germán hijo de Rosa y Marco , que viven en el campo cerca de Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador (30 minutos de la cuidad en taxi). Porque no tienen acceso de internet hago este perfil para ellos. Ellos viven en una pequeña comunidad que se llama LOMA GRANDE. Tienen 9 hijos pero ahora viven solos y les encanta encontrar gente de otros países y compartir su vida en el campo con ellos. Los dos trabajan en la agricultura y cuidando animales como pollos, cuyes, cerdos y vacas. Tambien tienen perros y gatos.

    Yo trabajo de guía de deportes de aventura en Baños. Así supe de la pagina workaway y decidí con mis padres de abrir este perfil para que la gente puede conocer como es la vida en el campo y para que mis papas tienen ayuda y compañía.

    Para llegar al pueblo debes pagar un taxi de 8 dolares y para regresar puedes salir en los carros que salen de ahí, mis papas pueden ayudar en encontrar un carro. Si quieres quedarte en la cuidad de Baños puedes quedarte en mi casa también. Por favor contactarme si tienes más preguntas.

    Yo hablo poco inglés, pero mis papas no.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In Loma Grande you can have very good viewpoints over the city of Baños, the volcano Tungurahua and the landscapes of the mountains. In the community you can also practice speaking Spanish with local people, look at how the people from the countryside live, an opportunity that not everyone gets, since it is not a touristy place.

    En Loma Grande puedes tener muy buenos miradores como a la cuidad de Baños, al volcan Tungurahua y paisages de las montañas. En la comunidad también puedes practicar español hablando con la gente local, mirar como viven las personas del campo el día día, porque no es un lugar turístico.
