    Description

    Hi
    I've been a world traveler for the past 12 years. Over the course of my travels I stumbled upon el bolsón and specifically a wonderful land owner named Tuei.
    She has placed the care taking of her beautiful 30hectares of native forests bordering the banks of Rio Azul and Rio Raquel on to me.
    We aim to perform a number of tasks. Forest cleaning, pond digging, deck building, hydro power system installation, gardens, greenhouse repairs, a native tree nursery, etc.
    I am also developing a sauna manufacturing business that I may need a hand on from time to time.
    The property is absolutely gorgeous and so are the habitations which you'll see in the photos.
    I've been a sailor for the last three years, I am a writer, and I deeply enjoy sharing, co-living, and working with people.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French here. we have friends from around the world and also to the local community. sharing time may be hanging with the local man who operates the saw mill, or from a visiting carpenter from Australia. it is a host for locals and foreigners alike.
    we do a lot of shared cooking here. we care about eating well and keep a healthy and balanced diet.

  • Help

    Help

    I ask for 5 hours a day every day you are eating and sleeping here. Other arrangements are negotiable. I am looking for building help, forest management help, pond digging help, garden building help, and perhaps livestock care. I like to help people find their skills and then encourage them to practice them during their work. It is a place for growth and sharing.
    I don't have anyone else helping me at this time, but I will likely have international friends coming to pay me visits on occasion.

    Accommodation

    I have two private rooms, and the ability to provide more with a bit of elbow grease and care. Shared shower and bathroom. Plan is to build an outdoor setup as well.
    We offer three meals a day with a balanced natural diet. Sometimes its trout from the river, veggies from the garden, nuts from the trees. Other times we get empanadas in town. We are meat eaters here but welcome veggies and try our best to cater to their needs.
