  Description

  Hi, I'm Josef. I moved from Europe to Colombia to live in closer contact with nature. I live alone on 2 hectare hill by a river. The place and the view is spectacular.
  It's about 10 minutes by bike and 45 minutes walking from the town.
  The road and the surrenderings are pleasurable.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  There are great opportunities will be provided through being here and engaging socially with native neighbors and other people from different nationalities. Also through the involvement in the projects and working with nature which encourages creativity and many learning opportunities and exchange of experiences. Nature and people around here are generous and flexible. There's enough room for trying out ideas and bringing about what works for everyone.
  The town is also is a unique and interesting territory to explore.
  There's are many places to visit and to enjoy. There are even festivals and special occasions.

  Help

  The projects mentioned earlier needs a bit creativity and motivation. We definitely will find solutions along the way.
  
  I have 3 projects in mind.
  1. Building a greenhouse by bamboo from the river.
  2. Plant part of the land that I cleaned the grass from.
  3. Fixing the old house.
  
  I'll film everything on video so you can get an idea.
