    Description

    Hello travelers, thank you for taking the time to read our profile :)
    I am Jennifer and I’m starting a lodging project in Jimenez, a beautiful off the grid place to enjoy Nature.

    We have woodworking, welding and basic electrical knowledge we can share with you and the surroundings have rivers, plants and animals you can enjoy. I feel very motivated to have fresh ideas and different points of view in order to complete the challenging task; so some basic skills are needed. Let us know if it’s something you would like to do, thank you in advance :)
