Description
We live on the Uruguayan coast in Punta Rubia, in a natural environment very calm and peaceful. Here we work, we grow food and medicine, make fermentations and other stuff 🍄🧙🏼♀️. We live with animals they are all respected and loved, and we also like playing sports and games (specially slackline).
Marvin is from France and I am Venezuelan. We were traveling and volunteering in many projects for some years and now we open our house for the exchange, this time as hosts.
Currently we are renovating the houses, cultivating vegetables and reforesting the surroundings with native species of plants, to attract fauna and promote the natural processes of the place. We make products out of our harvest such as ferments, tinctures, soaps, preserves, and many other organic things.
We need help with painting, gardening, cooking and looking after the place. We share all the tasks and they are always different, so no one gets bored unless you prefer to stick just to one task.
Our place is a family house, we are vegetarian, and we only use biodegradable products since we reuse the water of sink, washing machine, shower, etc.
We live with 2 dogs (that are part of the family), this exchange is only for people who like animals.
==============
Vivimos en la costa uruguaya, en Punta Rubia. En un lugar tranquilo rodeado de naturaleza. En casa trabajamos, cultivamos alimentos y plantas medicinales, elaboramos fermentos y otros productos.
Nos gustan los deportes y juegos (especialmente slackline). Marvin es de Francia y yo soy venezolana. Estuvimos varios años viajando y voluntariando en diferentes proyectos en la naturaleza, y ahora abrimos las puertas de nuestras casa al intercambio, siendo ahora los anfitriones nosotros :)
En nuestro espacio estamos remodelando las casas, cultivando y reforestando los alrededores con especies nativas, para atraer la fauna y favorecer los procesos naturales del lugar. También elaboramos productos como fermentos, tinturas, jabones, conservas, y muchas cosas más. Nuestra casita es vegetariana, y solo usamos productos biodegradables ya que reusamos las aguas grises.
Necesitamos ayuda principalmente pintando, trabajando en la huerta, cocinando o participando en las tareas cotidianas del lugar. Las tareas varían, y entre todos las compartimos, así no se vuelve tedioso para nadie.
Vivimos con 2 perros que son de la familia, este intercambio es solo para personas que le gustan los animales.Types of help and learning opportunities

We love cultural exchange, language exchange, and exploring different cuisines. At home, we teach how to make the natural products we use, such as soap, detergents, ferments, medicines... We offer breakfast and some basic ingredients for cooking lunches together on the working days (Monday-Friday). It's important to note that ours is a vegetarian household :)
In our free time, we play pingpong, do slacklining, go to the beach, take walks in the forest to harvest mushrooms and participate in some cultural activities with the community. We will be happy to share time and take you on a tour along the coast and some nice places around our home.
==============
Nos encanta el intercambio cultural, de idiomas, de gastronomía. En casa enseñamos a elaborar los productos naturales que usamos, jabón, detergentes, fermentos, medicinas...
Ofrecemos desayuno e ingredientes básicos para cocinar los almuerzos en conjunto los días de intercambio (L-V). Es muy importante considerar que es una casa vegetariana :)
En los tiempos libres jugamos ping-pong, hacemos slackline, vamos a la playa, hacemos caminatas en el bosque para cosechar hongos, y participamos en actividades culturales en la comunidad. También nos gusta compartir tiempo con nuestros amigos y huéspedes, y con gusto podemos llevarte a conocer lugares lindos alrededor.Help
