    Description

    I live in the countryside 20 km from Colonia del Sacramento in a beautiful organically built house.
    We are starting with a new little house, the entire process will be guided by professionals with experience and desire to teach!
    Professionally, I am a commercial and sports sailor, I sail in Colonia del Sacramento mainly giving classes and also trips, we mostly work with the local public since our area has little nautical culture and I am inspired by the idea of ​​promoting it.
    My family lives very close to home, these are my parents and my younger sister in the neighborhood.
    There will be about 5 people on site, working at normal hours and at a good pace, with a good work and enjoyment environment.
    The surroundings of the house are super quiet and the beach is 3 km away, we have bikes than you can use ando also it’s very easy hitch-hike.

    Vivo en el campo a 20 km de Colonia del Sacramento en un linda casita de bio construcción. Estamos comenzando con un nueva casita, todo el proceso será guiado por profesionales con experiencia y ganas de enseñar!
    Profesionalmente, soy marino comercia l y deportivo, navego a vela en colonia del Sacramento principalmente dando clases y también paseos, mayormente trabajamos con publico local ya que nuestra zona tiene poca cultura náutica y me inspira la idea de fomentarla.
    Mi familia vive muy cerca de casa, esta mis padres y mi hermana menor en el barrio.
    Vamos a ser unas 5 personas en obra, trabajando en horarios normales y a buen ritmo, con un buen ambiente de trabajo y disfrute.
    El entorno de la casa es súper tranquilo y la playa está a 3 km, hay bicicletas y otros vehículos a disposición también.
