    Description

    I'm Dennise, a writer who loves country life. I recently took over the family ranch, a place teeming with animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, fish, and bees. We also have fruit trees; the land feeds us. In our project, we want to focus on producing our own food to eat mindfully. Misantla is a place for those who love a peaceful life; the surrounding area boasts many pristine landscapes, rivers, waterfalls, hot springs, mountains, beaches, and archaeological sites.

    Soy Dennise una escritora que ama la vida en el campo. Recientemente estoy a cargo del rancho familiar un lugar lleno de animales: perros, gatos, conejos, borregos, gallinas, peces y abejas. También tenemos árboles frutales, la tierra nos alimenta. En nuestro proyecto queremos enfocarnos en producir nuestro propio alimento para comer de forma consciente. Misantla es un lugar para quienes aman la vida tranquila, alrededor hay muchos sitios vírgenes, ríos, cascadas, aguas termales, montañas, playas y zonas arqueológicas.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Regarding cultural exchange, I'd be happy to share the richness of the Spanish language through experiences in the countryside, traditional food, historical sites, and plenty of traditional music. I would love to learn languages and cultures from all the travelers who visit me, as I plan to travel in the future.

    En cuanto a intercambio cultural estaré feliz de compartir la riqueza del idioma español a través de experiencias en el campo, comida típica, lugares históricos y mucha música tradicional. Me encantaría aprender idiomas y cultura de todos los viajeros que me visiten, ya que en el futuro planeo viajar

    There are different dynamics, whether it's gardening (mowing the lawn, pruning fruit and timber trees, rose bushes, and ornamental plants); caring for animals like sheep (cutting grass), chickens (collecting eggs, providing corn and water), and rabbits (cutting grass, providing water). I also have pets that are like family to me, and I need help with tasks like bathing and feeding them. Other areas include cleaning, marketing, languages, natural building, agriculture, and beekeeping. Initially, we work collectively, and then, once everyone understands the basics, we divide the tasks.

    Hay dinámicas diferentes, ya sea en la jardinería (rebajar el césped, podar árboles frutales y maderables, rosales y plantas ornamentales; cuidado de animales como ovejas (cortar hierba), gallinas (recolectar huevos, dar maíz y agua), conejos (cortar hierba, darles agua). También tengo animales que son familia para ellos necesito apoyo en labores como bañarlos y darle de comer. Limpieza, marketing, idiomas, bioconstrucción, agricultura y apicultura.
    Al inicio se trabaja colectivamente y después cuando hayan comprendido nos dividimos las actividades
