Description
Hi I'm Paula, I am developing an enviromentally friendly Glamping on the Colombian caribbean coast.
One year ago my husband and I acquired a 2 hectare plot of land with a wonderful ocean view in Mendihuaca. One hour from Santa Marta, in front of a beach where only locals and fishermen go.
I am Colombian and my husband is French, we speak French, English and Spanish. Right now muy husband is traveling so I am by myself.
The project is to have several geodesic domes, at this moment we are finishing the first one. We want to share an experience of connection with nature and luxury at the same time.
We are currently living in a wooden cabin that we built in January in the entrance of the land, so we can be present during all the process and be able to get to know the land and adapt it in the best respectful way.
The works that we have in progress at the moment and in which we are looking for help are:
-Construction of geodesic dome: finalization of details, carpentry, furnishing.
-Preparation, creation and maintenance of permaculture gardens.
-Creation of the glamping promotional website and social networks.
-Organization of events to share the experience with people in the community.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In addition to food and lodging, in this project workawayers can connect with nature in a very special place, with a beautiful view of the sea and the mountains.
If they want to develop their Spanish, this opportunity is ideal. They will also be able to share closely with a Kogui family and learn about their culture.
The place where we are located is only 5 min from Tayrona Park, 20 min from Buritaca and 1 hour from Palomino. There are many not so well known tourist places around and all the time there are community events/festivals/retreats that we will be able to participate in.
You will be part of the construction of an environmentally friendly tourism project and you will be able to participate with your ideas, we are very open to receive recommendations and knowledge from anyone who wants to contribute to our project.
