    Description

    I'm a German living in a forest in Chile building cabins and enjoying an off-grid live style. I still work as a programmer but love to build stuff in an alternative way. There is a free cabin, which I usually let to some cyclists, but I would love to have people stay longer periods at a time to accompany me on the journey to self reliance. You can learn to build wooden cabins, chop wood, solar energy with some kind of robotics added to it :-) There is a river on the property, a swimming pool and a hot tub.

    The bus stops right outside the gate, from there you can easily go to the next town, some 25km from here. There are two big reservoirs right around the corner and loads of forests. I don't have any tight work schedule expectations as long as something gets done some 2-3h a day.
