    Description

    Hello lovely people! I'm Olivia and I'm the owner of a self sufficient ranch at Valsequillo Puebla Mexico. I decided to join Workaway to meet people interested in taking care of our enviroment and at the same time to get some help with this huge land my husband and I inherited.
    We have grow our own food (mainly fruit trees) and have water captation tanks, plus 3 dogs that serve as security against traspassers.
    We recently adopted a cute calico cat that lives indoors, she's the sweetest.
    No experience is needed as we will teach you how things are done but I must warn you that it's hard work but we will take good care of you, you'll only have to work 4 hours a day and you'll get 3 meals a day and your own private room. We also have the best sky to watch stars and it's so peaceful you'll sleep like a baby everynight!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Believe it or not Mexico is becoming pretty international but you could still also find people from indigenous communities who would love to show you their food and tell you ancient stories about our land.
    We both speak English and of course Spanish so you should at least speak one of those languages so we can communicate properly. We welcome people from all over the world
