Description
Hello everyone my name is Ralfy. I have a home up in the mountains near Arecibo. I live with my doggy Patch. We live up in the mountains in Hatillo but still 10-20 minutes away from Arecibo, rivers, caves, beaches, shops, etc.
Looking for someone that is motivated and interested in Sustainability, Nature Based Development. I also travel around the whole Island in meetings, workshops, helping farms, events and networking.You can attend these events with me.
We need help with farm land and yard (2 acres+). It's lush, full of green, and needs someone with a green thumb, and willing to help me around the house. My home has multiple bedrooms, WiFi, dining room, kitchen, living room, and ample parking space. You'll have your own room with access to the house & kitchen. I also volunteer at a sustainable farm with a Eco-Community Center in Aguada, to help out with the EarthShip and other workshops for the community, including bee keeping.
I'm specifically looking for individuals with a background in, organization skills, sustainable workshops, gardening, have no problem getting dirty, likes dogs, nature and animals.
Thank you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Language and community sustainable development, and innovative Nature Based Solutions. Networking, I work with people all over the island and you will meet so many different walks of life. One day we are in San Juan at events, then on another we are at a farm with a machete gardening, or at a beach cleanup or mangrove planting.
Help
I need help harvesting, planting, gardening around land/farm, and just being a extra helping hand. I'm looking for people who have interest or background/experience in gardening, farming, or just helping around the house. Instructions can be given on what to do so experience is not needed, just a willing to learn. You can cook meals, but I love to cook from scratch with fresh ingredients, be prepared to eat! :)

I've traveled around the world and love to meet new people and learn new food, cultures, and languages.
Accommodation
One private room in house with use of all the facilities including laundry, bathroom, hot water, TV, porch, and WiFi. Full access to anything grown at the farm, herb friendly outside, and welcome to any food in the kitchen as well. Unless you have some type of special diet you don't have to buy food.
I cannot provide transportation all the time and may be away working, but will try to work with you if you have no ride.
I love to cook and I'm more than happy to share meals, I'm a mostly pescatarian and dont do pork. You can also make what you like with what I got in the kitchen and farm.
What else ...
You are free to do what ever you like when you are free. I have nice land that I will ask that you can use the back porch to hangout when outside. You are free to use the living room, tv room and bathroom. I believe in hard good work, but then after one can chill and do as they please. Beaches, caves, rivers, zip lines, Taino history, mountains, Arecibo, and Lares all 10-15 min away. Here you will see that Locals on horseback, quads, dirt bikes, or in classic cars, from one bar to another through the rain-forest and other villages. My town and neighbors are all very nice elderly locals, large families that know everyone and are very respectful. Please also be respectful when outside.
Thank you
