Description
Hello, my name is Cecilia, and I'm a textile techniques teacher. My partner, Joaquin, and I have a small plot of land in a rural area near the Quito airport. Our daily routine includes feeding the chickens, tending the vegetable garden, maintaining the flower garden, and continuing to build our house. We like to prepare healthy meals, using as little processed food as possible. We aren't vegetarians, although we eat very little meat. Our cooking is simple but nutritious; we make our own yogurt, dulce de leche, peanut butter, and other things. We dedicate a lot of time to textile work, specifically the alpaca wool process. We also have chickens, ducks, a rabbit, and a cat.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is the dream stay for anyone who loves wool and knitting. You'll have access to all the fiber you could ever need, and you can spend afternoons felting or knitting. You'll be able to learn and practice Spanish, and we'll exchange languages. In the mornings, you can do yoga or meditation since the place is very peaceful and full of birds, including hummingbirds, robins, and others. You can also cook to your liking; we love learning about recipes from other places. We want to share with you that it's possible to live a good quality life with little. Our way of life is simple and connected to nature, so this exchange isn't structured, but rather an experience of living together, learning, and creating together.
Es la pasantia soñada para quienes les gusta la lana y los tejidos, tendras acceso a toda la fibra que puedas usar, tardes de fieltro o tejido. Podras aprender y practicar español e intercaremos idiomas. Por las mañanas puedes hacer yoga o meditacion ya que el lugar es muy tranquilo, hay muchas aves, colibris, petirrojos y otros. Podras cocinar a tu gusto tambien, nos encanta conocer recetas de otros lugares. Queremos compartir contigo que se puede vivir con poco y tener una vida de buena calidad. Nuestra forma de vida es simple y conectada con la naturaleza, por lo que este intercambio no es algo estructurado, sino más bien una experiencia de convivencia, aprendizaje y creación compartida.
