    Description

    Hello there,

    I’m Amélie, a former backpacker and globetrotting volunteer who now wants to welcome the world into her home!! I’d love for you to join me on this journey!
    I invite you to join me in the Mazahua mountains of the State of Mexico.
    The idea is to help me with my animals, fix up the chicken coop and the duck pen, and build a greenhouse to grow tomatoes and vegetables.
    I have polytunnels and a shared or private room, depending on what suits everyone best. I live in a small village, renting a flat with plenty of land and trees. There is a very large kitchen, living room and terrace. A space where we can spend time together whilst respecting everyone’s privacy.
    I have volunteered in many countries and on many different projects, giving me the experience to ensure everyone’s well-being.

    Hola Hola,

    Soy Amélie, exMochilera, voluntaria del mundo quien ahora quiere recibir el mundo en su hogar!! Seguir el viaje a través de ustedes!
    Les propongo acompañarme en los montes Mazahua del Estado de Mexico.
    La idea es ayudarme con mis animales, acondicionar el gallinero, el coral de los patos y construir un invernadero paa sembrar jitomates y hortalizas.
    tengo casas de campana y un habitacion compartida o privada segun la comodidad de todos. vivo en un pueblo pequeno, rent un departamento que tiene mucho terreno con arboles. Hay una cocina, salon y terraza muy grandes. Un espacio donde podemos convivir respectando la intimidad de cada quien.
    Fui voluntaria en muchos paises, mucho proyectos distintos qu eme da la experiencia propria para garantizar el bien estar de cada quien.

    A bed in a shared room or a tent

    Cooking will be a shared task, in the sense that everyone will have to cook for the team. Meals will be balanced. I’m not a vegetarian, but I can adapt to the team’s preferences. Breakfast could be coffee/tea and fruit, lunch with protein and vegetables, and dinner consisting of broth, soup and carbohydrates. But all of that can be decided and adapted according to needs.

    Una cama en dormitorio o una casa de campana

    cocinar sera una tarea compartida, en el sentido que cada quien tendra que cocinar para el equipo. Sera comida eqilibrada. No soy vegetariana pero me puede adaptar a los gustos del equipo. El desayuno podria ser cafe/té y frutas, un almuerzo con poteinas y vegetales y una cena tipo caldo, sopa y carbohidratos. Pero todo eso se puede decidir y adaptar segun las necesitades
