Description
===============
Beside the farming team, we are looking for one person who can help our Sustainable Project and Mezcal brand to grow through Social Media and Marketing :)
===============
For few years I was backpacking and volunteering around the world... Then I worked on cruise ships as a bartender.
The 2020 lockdown bought me back home, where I realized the needs of my region in term of growing and preserving the agave species for mezcal production, and the lack of manpower to help this sustainable industry.
With Viajeros del Mezcal, we will fulfill those needs. Together, mezcal producers, farmers and volunteers, are looking forward to preserve the agave species, planting and farming them, as well as reforesting the area and, the funniest part, we enjoy some mezcal while helping the local producers!!

All this while living downtown of a fully local community and working with producers in small villages around.
Once here, we can offer some extras as:
- 1 hr Spanish class and transportation to the place.
- 1 hr Dancing class on thursdays.
- 1 cooking class every 2 weeks.
- Improved internet.
Depending ask us about this before confirming your application
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We have two kind of activities: farm and community days.
Farm days start early morning, 5-6 am until the sun becomes too hot for us.
House / community days start later (7-10 am) until we are done.
Farm days will be at least two per week, they vary as per seasonal demand.
It can be from easy to very hard, depending on the activities
- planting agaves and trees, fertilizing, weeding (the most required activity), harvesting big agaves with machetes and loading trucks with very heavy weights.
- if possible, participating in some stages of the mezcal making process.
House / community days will be at least once per week, and can be:
- House cleaning, cooking, painting or home improvements.
- School exchange and presentations.
- Elder house visits and Red Cross help.
- Selling food at the market.
*Farm days require good physical condition, no back problem, or farm related allergies (sun, dust, etc)
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Serbo-Croatian: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
We provide one hour of Spanish lesson per week We also live downtown a small village so everyone is free to practice their spanish with the locals :)
Accommodation
For sleeping, volunteers will stay in a small mixed shared dorm, there is a small dorm for girls only and other for couples. The sleeping area is for 5 person max.
Breakfast and Lunch are provided and will be prepared in the kitchen by the volunteers. We do a weekly shopping in the local farmer's market where we get the ingredients for our meals. However, living downtown have an extra advantage since there are few taco places as well as tiny restaurants.
What else ...
Miahuatlán valley, where the project sits, is located in a strategic point of the state, being 2 hours close to Oaxaca city, the mountains (1 hr from San Jose del Pacifico) and the Pacific coast (2 hrs away of Puerto Escondido).
Local sights as an ancient Zapotec observatory and the river are within a walking distance, as well as some nice small villages around may be visited by the local transportation.

We really loved Jorge's project. He's only recently started and it's got the excitement of a new project; making loads of new contacts, welcoming fresh ideas/perspectives and adjusting the direction based on what's working or not. Jorge is an excellent communicator and makes everything feel fun and exciting, the tasks we did had loads of variation… read more

Meeting Paty and Pat was a great experience!!
They are very hard and smart workers, always up with some interesting conversation and good energy to share, always sharing their knowledge and learning all they can.
If they apply to your place, don't think twice and just get them, you will enjoy sharing with them!!

We had amazing time at Jorge’s project. What he created it’s something unique. We stayed at his place for three weeks and every day was different. We’ve done various things from cleaning, gardening, farming, planting agaves, shopping, painting etc.
He’s got nice and spacious place located in the centre, everything it’s in close distance.

A really great experience and the host Jorge is a lovely guy. Definitely can be hard work at times but completely worth it, if not only for the 'occasional' copita de mezcal.

Lawrence was a great element in our team. Beside the fact he stayed longer than the average, he was a real fast learner. I was able to trust and delegate important tasks for the team.
He's quiet, hard working and relaxed man, can be by his own long time and he's still ok.
Hope to see you soon mate!!
