    Description

    Hi, we're Dalila and Octavio. We're down-to-earth people, we like minimalism, and we firmly believe in the collaborative economy—that is, helping one another. We run a small guesthouse-like accommodation for locals, although we sometimes also welcome travelers from around the world through platforms. The idea is to find volunteers, ideally couples, to perform basic cleaning and maintenance tasks around the house. We're also interested in photographers, ideally using drones.

    Hola somos Dalila y Octavio, somos personas sencillas, nos gusta el minimalismo, y creemos fielmente en la economía colaborativa, es decir, ayudar los unos a los otros. Tenemos un pequeño hospedaje similar a una casa de huéspedes para personas locales aunque algunas veces también recibimos viajeros de diferentes partes a través del uso de plataformas. La idea es buscar voluntarios idealmente parejas para realizar tareas básicas de limpieza y mantenimiento de la casa. También nos interesan fotógrafos idealmente con DRON.
