Description
Hello! I’m Dean from England.
I’m 35 years old and live with my partner, Yennifer, on a beautiful farm near Palomino, next to the San Salvador River. This place is a natural reserve, a true paradise. We have a private camping area on the beach, and our farm also serves as an eco-hostel.
Our mission is to make this place as eco-friendly as possible, creating a space where conservation and environmental preservation are a top priority. We have many projects in mind and a long road of hard work ahead. It’s an exciting project, but also challenging, and that’s why we need passionate people to join us in making it a reality.
Currently, we’re looking for people to host and preferably a yoga instructor.
We’re also looking for someone with marketing experience to help us expand our project, as well as people interested in permaculture and those skilled in carpentry.
We prefer stays of one month or longer. If you have an eco-conscious mindset and are passionate about contributing to the conservation of this beautiful place, we’d love to have you on board.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
During your stay, you’ll have the chance to learn about the local and indigenous cultures through our friends, who are often here with us. We are also blessed to have an indigenous family visit regularly, offering us their blessings and sharing their knowledge.
Honestly, every day here is a lesson, and I truly enjoy every moment of it. If you love to learn, appreciate nature, and are open to new experiences, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
Help
We are looking for individuals who can provide support with the digital marketing of our location, and we would love to have a yoga instructor or people willing to offer classes in any discipline, to create a cultural exchange. Additionally, we are looking for someone with practical maintenance skills to assist us in various areas, as well as a person who can be an excellent host to make our accommodation a more fun and enjoyable experience.
Languages

English: Fluent
Spanish: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
My Spanish isn't perfect, but my partner is Colombian, so you'll have the opportunity to practice with a native speaker.
Accommodation
You will be accommodated in a bed in a shared room, but if you are a couple, we can offer a private room as well. We do ask for your effort and collaboration. Additionally, language exchange is an important part of the experience, and we want to make sure you have fun while learning. We offer WiFi, but there are also many other activities to keep you entertained and happy during your stay.
What else ...
We are just 4 km from Palomino, and we have transportation available. There’s also a beautiful walk along the beach, and the river’s mouth is truly impressive; in fact, the whole place is breathtaking.
We’re looking for people with positive energy, great ideas, and a calm nature. The desert is not far, and we can organize trips for you.
I’ve traveled a bit, and people always ask me why Colombia.
All I can say is, you have to come and experience it to understand it.
