    Description

    I am a former Workaway traveler myself, having done exchanges in Panama and France, so I truly understand the needs, excitement, and ambitions of those embarking on this kind of journey.

    Currently, our main focus is language practice, so we are specifically looking to host native French or Japanese speakers. (While English is welcome, French and Japanese are our absolute priorities right now). Additionally, if you have manual skills or consider yourself a handy person, please let us know!

    We love board games, so we would greatly appreciate hosting someone who enjoys sharing an evening playing and spending quality time with us.

    Please note our hosting criteria:

    Age group: We are looking for volunteers around 20 to 30 years old.

    Duration: The ideal stay is between 15 and 20 days, with a maximum stay of one month.

    We are not vegetarian.

    Fui voluntario de Workaway en el pasado y realicé intercambios en Panamá y Francia, por lo que entiendo perfectamente las necesidades, la emoción y las ambiciones de quienes se embarcan en este tipo de viajes.

    Por ahora, nuestro enfoque principal es la práctica de idiomas, así que buscamos específicamente hospedar a hablantes nativos de francés o japonés. (Aunque el inglés es genial, el francés y el japonés son nuestra prioridad absoluta en este momento). Adicionalmente, si tienes habilidades manuales o te consideras una persona "manitas" (handy), ¡por favor hazlo saber!

    Nos encantan los juegos de mesa, por lo que nos agradaría mucho recibir a alguien que disfrute pasar tiempo compartiendo este tipo de actividades con nosotros.

    Por favor, ten en cuenta nuestros criterios de hospedaje:

    Rango de edad: Buscamos voluntarios de entre 20 y 30 años.

    Duración de la estadía: Lo ideal para nosotros es entre 15 y 20 días, con un periodo máximo de un mes.

    No somos vegetarianos.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I’m not looking for help with specific tasks. My main goal is to have a cultural exchange and give people the chance to experience Colombia affordably by providing free accommodation. If you have any hands-on skills, such as home repairs or knowledge of gardening and bonsai, that’s a plus! However, these skills are not required to apply.

    Como tal no busco ayuda especifica en una tarea. Solamente quiero tener un intercambio cultural y darle la oportunidad a las personas que puedan conocer Colombia de una forma barata, Sin tener que pagar alojamiento. Si la persona tiene habilidades manuales, como reparaciones o sabe de jardinería y bonsais. Esto sumaria puntos. Pero no son habilidades obligatorias para aplicar.
