    Description

    This is NOT a hostel, but a personal project aimed to become an educational & cultural spot in the neighborhood. It means, you will NOT work following a set of rules to make profits for a bussiness, but to participate to develop a social-aimed venture.

    The project is located in a half urban half rural area of south Lima. It's close to the beach, archeological sites, museums, greeny paths and outdoor places.

    How are the day-by-day activities? Feel free to manage your own schedule. Just let's agree in advance. I'm quite flexible (close to anarchism sometimes, learner of plants and animals) and eager to work together.
    Activities are related with gardening, bulding in wood, painting, creating spaces and other areas.

    About me
    I spend most of my time in this germinal project. However, I also receive travelers and volunteers of different platforms. What else? Just ask me, I am open to share any story of my life. I have 2 degrees: one in Philosophy and the other one in Anthopology, with concluded master studies in Epistemology. I have traveled 23 of the 24 departments of Peru and have lived in other Latin American countries.

    I am not asking for any fee or payment from the workawayers coming to help me.

    Welcome!
