    Description

    Natural building, growing part of my food and exchaging experiences with travellers around the world (among others) help me to understand better the differents meanings of life.

    I feel that Im very Lucky because i have the possibility to live the way it makes me happy! Almost all the time, I love what i do alone...but it's MUCH nutritive re circulante that with good others :)

    Maybe my house is not luxury, but i Will try to make you feel at home. Im co living with muchos seres, entre ellos "simon" and "Luna" (dogs) "Preta" (cat).

    You can stay in a basic bedroom with a simple bed or you can camp in a tend or parking a motorhome if you feel better outside.

    I live in a calm neighborhood, nearby the national route number 3 and the "san Miguel del monte" lagoon is about 4km.

    We can learn together how to build with earth, grow our own vegetables or a good practice of QiGong.

    We can share good experiences.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Monte is a small town that offers a variety of cultural, social, gastronomic, tourist, and entertainment options, etc. If you want to take advantage of your stay to offer your services, art, or products, I'm sure there will be someone who would really appreciate it! The tranquility and good disposition of the Monte community is very valuable :) Close to home there are rural streets with very little traffic...the most "dangerous" thing you can run into is a dog that, out of boredom, will probably hahaha! start barking. They are ideal for walking and getting some extra sun...and water! ;)

    Si querés aprovechar tu estadía para ofrecer tus servicios, arte o productos, estoy segura que habrá quien lo agradezca muchísimo! Es muy valiosa la tranquilidad y buena disposición de la comunidad montense :)

    Cerca de casa hay calles rurales muy poco transitadas...lo más "peligroso" que te podes cruzar es algún perro que, de aburrido probablemente jajaja! salga a ladrar. Son ideales para caminar y tomar un extra de sol...y agüita! ;)

    AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATED:

    ---

    I will be away from home during JULY and AUGUST 2025.
    (Outside of this date, if you're interested in meeting us, please write to me)

    During this period (for a week or more), I would be delighted to have someone available to provide daily love and companionship to the animals (not just feeding them).

    Animals:

    SIMÓN (greyhound) is the oldest in the house. Anyone who knows the breed knows they're good-natured, likes to sunbathe (against the vet's recommendations) and bark at dogs that pass by.

    LUNA was adopted as an adult. She would love to be an only child so she could have 100% of the attention, but she's already resigned herself to it and is perfectly adapted to the pack.

    Although they sleep in the garage, I spend a lot of time with them. They're quite calm, they understand key words that are very helpful, they stay within the perimeter of their home, and they're generally in good health!

    They require 1 or 2 servings of food per day, clean water, and lots of back scratching :P

    They're both approximately 9 years old, and their previous lives are somewhat uncertain... From them, I learned that there's no past that condemns us... that with patience, perseverance, presence, and time, love reshapes us.

    Preta (cat), I must admit... is the most spoiled... she has free access to the house, and on winter nights we cuddle up together for warmth. She likes petting on her head ;).

    As long as her food and water dishes are always clean and full, she can manage completely independently. She spends most of the day outside the house (especially when there are people she doesn't know).

    Preta is a mini panther only in appearance. We've been going through her stages together since she was a puppy. With her, I learned that there are times when we need to be gentler and more attentive!

    In this transition from the city to the "country," the four seasons have quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) accompanied this wonderful symphony that means choosing to build HOME.

    TRADUCIDO AUTOMÁTICAMENTE:

    ---

    Estaré fuera de casa durante JULIO y AGOSTO del 2025.
    (Fuera de esta fecha, si te interesa conocernos, escribirme)

    Durante ese periodo (x 1 semana o mas) estaría encantada de recibir una persona que este disponible para brindarle amor y compañía a diario a los animales (no es solo ocuparse de la alimentación)

    Animales:

    SIMÓN (galgo) es el mas antiguo en casa, quien conoce la raza sabe que son buenazos de alma, le gusta tomar sol (en contra de las recomendaciones del veterinario) y ladrarles a los perros que pasan por la calle.

    LUNA fue adoptada de grande, le encantaría ser hija única para tener el 100% de la atención, pero ya se resignó y esta perfectamente adaptada a la manada.

    Aunque duermen en el garage, comparto mucho tiempo con ellos. Son bastante tranquilos, entienden palabras clave que ayudan mucho, no salen del perímetro del terreno, y en general gozan de buena salud!

    Son requeridas 1 o 2 raciones de comida por día, agua limpia y muchas rascaditas de lomos :P

    Ambos tienen aproximadamente 9 años, su vida previa es un tanto incierta...de ellos aprendí que no existe pasado que nos condene...que con paciencia, constancia, presencia y tiempo; el amor nos re configura.

    PRETA (gata) debo reconocerlo... es la mas mimada...tiene acceso libre a la casa, y por las noches de invierno nos acurrucamos para darnos calorcito. Le gustan los mimos en la cabeza ;) .

    Mientras tenga sus platos con agua y comida siempre limpios y llenos, se maneja con total autonomía. La mayor parte del día anda fuera de la casa (mas cuando hay gente que desconoce)

    Preta es una mini pantera solo en apariencia, fuimos transitando juntas sus etapas desde cachorra, con ella aprendí que hay momentos en que debemos acompañar con mayor dulzura y mucha más atención!

    En ésta transición de la ciudad al "campo" las 4 estaciones fueron silenciosamente (y a veces no tanto) acompasando ésta maravillosa sinfonía que significa elegir construir HOGAR.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Almost the entire house/land will be available to the volunteer.

    The cottage is simple, with its quirks like any other... but I find it spacious, comfortable, bright, and with beautiful spaces to enjoy inside or outside.

    The heating is a small Russian wood-burning stove. The kitchen and water heater run on bottled gas. The water is from a well, which may not be the best, but it is drinkable.

    I will provide as many details as possible to make your stay more comfortable.

    Let's always remember to keep the line of communication open, listen carefully, and communicate as clearly as possible :)

    I hope you understand that everything is generated with dedication and time. Every day I strive to provide at least a small detail that contributes to their improvement. Sometimes, keeping it clean and tidy is enough ;)

    The neighborhood is primarily residential and very quiet. We're about 4 km from the lagoon (Monte's main attraction).

    There's a bike in good condition available for you to take, perhaps, for a spin around the lagoon :)

    Miguel and María's grocery store is 3 blocks away, a small grocery store with homemade bakery products and extended business hours.

    Family and friends live nearby and will be ready to assist you in an emergency.

    We believe that visitors will always ensure the proper use of the house and its belongings :D (careful, considerate, and present)

    Thanks for reading! All additional questions are welcome.

    One of the pillars that strengthens and expands bonds is frequent, honest, and fluid conversation...if you've made it this far, I know you understand ;)

    Hugs!

    Casi toda la casa/terreno estará disponible para el voluntarix.

    Casita es sencilla, tiene sus mañas como todas...pero la considero amplia, confortable, luminosa y con espacios bonitos para disfrutar dentro o fuera.

    La calefacción es una pequeña estufa rusa (a leña) . La cocina y el calefon funcionan con gas envasado. El agua es de pozo, seguramente no es la mejor, pero si es potable.

    Lo más que pueda te dejaré detallado para hacer tu estadía más confortable.

    Recordemos siempre mantener la vía de comunicación abierta, escuchar con atención y comunicar con la mayor claridad posible :)

    Espero sepas entender que todo es generado con dedicación y tiempo. Día a día me ocupo de propiciar al menos un pequeño detalle que contribuya a su mejoría. A veces , mantenerla limpia y ordenada es suficiente ;)

    El barrio es principalmente residencial muy tranquilo, estamos a 4 km aprox de la laguna (principal atracción de Monte)

    Hay una bici que está en buenas condiciones y a disposición para que te animes, quizás, a dar una vuelta por la lagu :)

    A 3 cuadras esta la despensa de Miguel y María, un mini mini mercadito con panadería de elaboración propia y amplios horarios de atención.

    Muy cerca viven familia y amigxs que estarán atentos para asistirte ante una emergencia.

    Consideramos que la visita siempre velará por el buen uso de la casa y las cosas :D (cuidadosos, considerados y presentes)

    Gracias por leer! Todas las consultas extras son bienvenidas.

    Uno de los pilares que fortalecen y expanden los vínculos es la frecuente, honesta y fluida conversación...si llegaste hasta acá, se que lo entendés ;)

    Abrazón!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    San Miguel del monte is a small city near the capital federal (buenos aires, argentina) like 110 km away. You can travell by tren, bus, private mini van, etc.

    Monte has a lagoon (like 11 km diameter) maybe its not the Best, but you can fish there, practice a water sport like Kayak or kite surf (by the summer time) also have history, because it is one of the oldest towns of the province.

    You can do footing and meet good and quite people all around. At night you can also drink a very good beer (artesanal) and eat good and quite cheap food.

    I have a few books to share (in spanish) and some games.

    Pueden estacionar en la calle sin problemas, es un barrio muy tranquilo, no corren riesgos, por aquí prácticamente transitamos solo los vecinos. De ser necesario podría evaluarse la posibilidad de entrar el vehículo al terreno :)
