  Description

  Looking for someone to stay in my sanctuary in the mountains (but not so secluded),. Only need to care for 3 easygoing cats, & 30 mins. a day aiding with neighbors' 3 dogs. Nice neighbors, excellent views, PVC roof, 15 min. wonderful stroll to the 'combi' arrives every 3 mins., then 18 mins. ride to the adorable San Cristobal colorful artistic hippie Center. Fruit/veg guy drives past 3x a week, tortilla vendor daily.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  There's a good deal of (not sure the correct wording) hippie, spiritual stuff to find, and generally happy folks, & music, & activities, and veg/other cuisines, & the best hub to do cultural tours. A chance to stay here in my future travels. 2 good friends (yards from me) to know, if you like.

  Help

  Just feed cats, and neighbors are 5 min. walk from here, I feed/water/pet their dog for a few mins., then heading back are 2 dogs at another neighbor's, I do the same. They're chained all day, I'll walk them a few mins., they have homes, I bring them food, change their water, and again pet 2-3 mins. This is all. I can pay 50 pesos a day, once the family, who are there daily, confirm the visits.

  Accommodation

  My place is rather breezy, I'd say zen, quirky, bright, happy, light. A studio, but with a separate kitchen, a queen bed (2 people are ok), solar shower, a deck. The weather is temperate to warm, to chilli some late nights (I prefer). There maybe a bit of food left in the fridge & what's on hand, but you'd depend on the 3x produce drive by, tortillas, you could have food delivered here, & possibly a neighbor expressed interest in cooking for others for a fee, & occasional vendors pass, but generally you'd bring up your own foods. Yes, you'd walk back up the mountain, and the return 'combis' (vans 50 cents cost) come every 5-10 mins. or take a taxi back for $7

  Space for parking camper vans

  If your camper is not so enormous may be better, but I'd need to check with my landlord if a giant size is ok here, I can't imagine it wouldn't be. There's space.
