    Description

    ✨🦚 My main dream is to grow this land into a sustainable sanctuary ... built with respect for nature, local materials, and a slower, more intentional way of living. I share this space with many animals (ducks, turkeys and little dogs), who are very much part of the rhythm and soul of this place.

    Over the years, I’ve built and experimented with different small structures and creative spaces here. Now I’m entering a new stage: designing a small COFFEE SHOP/STORE space within the land — something organic, warm, and deeply connected to the natural surroundings.

    ✨ Two ways to be part of this growing project:
    ☝🏽1. Design & Vision Collaboration 📅 Min stay: 20 days
    ✌🏽2. Daily Life & Land Support 📅 Min stay: 10 days

    🤍 Both forms of exchange are valuable here.
    Whether u come to design, to build, or to care for the daily rhythm of my home, I deeply value the energy and intention u bring.

    ☝🏽 1. Design & Vision Collaboration (Minimum stay: 20 days)
    This collaboration focuses on designing the future coffee shop + store space within the land.
    I’m looking for architects or spatial designers who feel inspired by natural building and sustainable concepts, and who:
    •🗣️ Enjoys creative dialogue and idea development
    • ✍🏽 Can help translate concepts into sketches or plans
    • 🎋 Are open to integrating trees, terrain, and natural drainage solutions
    • 🛖 Feel excited about building differently
    ---->This collaboration requires time, focus, and shared intention — which is why a minimum stay of 20 days feels right.

    ✌🏽2. Daily Life & Land Support (Minimum stay: 10 days)
    If you feel aligned with simple living, animals, and hands-on help, you’re warmly welcome to support with:
    • 🐓 Animal care & corral maintenance
    • 🌳 Garden and tree care
    • 📦 Organizing materials for projects
    • 🧤Eco-friendly maintenance and building tasks
    ---->This role is just as meaningful ... it keeps the land alive and balanced.

    Accommodation

    🏠 We have a modest indoor room 🛏️ — that is shared with other volunteers when applicable.
    🚿 Hot shower available with a shared schedule
    🧺 Don’t forget to bring ur favorite detergent for ur loundry🧴.
    🍳 Kitchen is shared - I coordinate lunch tasks depending on who’s home — helps keep things fun and smooth.
    ✨🫧Cleanliness and care for shared spaces are part of the exchange here.

    •I will provide basic ingredients (vegan/ vegetarian: rice, oats, lentils, beans, pasta, seasonal fruit and vegetables) so YOU CAN PREPARE YOUR DAILY MEALS
    •🫴🏾 3 meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. (5 days a week)
    •👉🏽 Days off, I offer ingredients only for desayuno☕️🥪 (2 days a week)

    👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Want to bake something special for yourself — maybe a little cake 🍰 or your favorite treat?
    You’re more than welcome to use the kitchen, gas, and electricity. Just BRING UR OWN ingredients and be kind with the shared supplies. Small shops are on our street for everyday items, and bigger stores are close by for anything extra you might need🤍

    📅 We usually take the first week to get to know each other, and if everything flows well for both of us, we can discuss extending the stay.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Thanks to the support of volunteers, the house continues improving. I recently opened a room for guest stays, so at times there may be additional visitors sharing the common areas.

    🚌 It’s 35 minutes by public transportation (10 km to the city center). The area is quite populated, and if you are near the street during the day, you may hear traffic. But once you enter the house, the view feels like being in the countryside

    ✨ About me (in no particular order):
    Film school happened. Then I developed my own natural cosmetics brand and ran a little shop. At some point I learned how to make vinegar. Now I build with mud, invent stories for my animals, and plan to bring my shop back to life here at home.

    I laugh loudly, and I eat when I’m hungry ... not by schedule.🤣🤭.
