Description
Hi! My name is Carolina, I've studied hospitality and tourism and I've been travelling as much as I could for as long as I can remember. But I think I have to settle down a little bit now and take care of my house in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. Cochabamba is a very beautiful city, the third one in Bolivia and with a very nice landscape surrounded by mountains, the best wheather in Bolivia :) and the ideal place for learning and practicing Spanish.
I would really appreciate your help around the house, there's different tasks from where u can choose from. According to your skills and experience.
I am currently trying to build the garden (rainy season there's some weeding to do), there's also some painting, repairing, carpenter jobs available. Taking care of my 6 dogs (cooking soup for them, feeding them, loving them). Cleaning the house and small repairs. I am also starting with a small beekeeping project and I'm loving it, so if you want to learn with me or share your knowledge with bees, we will be very grateful.
You'll need a very positive attitude and be willing to learn, nothing I'm gonna ask u to do is nuclear engineering, so with some experience working outside, using tools, being sun friendly, not scared of insects and have some strength, you should be fine.
Don't wanna sound mean or bossy but If you just looking for some free accommodation while doing "whatever" quickly, this is not for u. I like things well done, or not done at all. This statement is coming from previous bad "experiences"... But overall I'm very friendly and easy going.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at anytime!

Help
There's a lot to fix and update. We would like some help with rebuilding the garden (fences, etc) planting some flowers, trees, mowing, watering. And we also want help with our small organic garden.
Around the house we would appreciate some help painting and other small reparations, cleaning, dogs caring.
It would be great if you can help us during two or three hours a day (depending on your own speed) five days a week. Up to two weeks, no more than that. Not accepting long stays for now.
I offer the accommodation, no meals included however you can use the kitchen. Drinking water, gas provided.
You will have a private room (but you will have to share if there is another volunteer). Toiletteries are not included.
Depending on your performance, everything is flexible.

During my life I've tried learning as many languages as I could, but what ive learned the best is that your mind forgets quickly what you dont practice... Thats why my French and German are always basic 😢 I'd be more than happy to help you improve your Spanish or English or Portuguese (those I know for sure ;)

The house is walking distance to many places. Cochabamba is not so big. A lot of public transportation is one block away. The area is pretty safe.
There's also some stairs to reach the house (around 40) so please keep this in mind.
