  Description

  We are a small, laid-back family living by the beach in Las Tunas, Ecuador. We love surfing, cooking, and outdoor sports. Our home is just a minute from the ocean.
  
  We’re working on a homemade bagel project so if you enjoy cooking or baking, we need support with rolling, boiling, and baking. We also welcome anyone with skills in photography, social media, or creative storytelling to help us share our journey.
  
  Beyond the kitchen, we’re looking for help getting us organized—documenting processes, creating systems, and offering fresh business consulting ideas. We’ve never started a business like this before, so we’ll take all the advice we can get! This will help us scale our delivery operation and bring us closer to our dream of opening a bagel shop.
  
  If you’re passionate about food, creativity, and entrepreneurship and want to be part of something growing from the ground up we’d love to collaborate with you!
  
  We homeschool our two kids (11 and 6), and they love meeting new people. If you enjoy teaching or have any skills in that area, would be great to have some help with facilitating homeschool!
  
  You’ll be part of our daily family life, cooking, hanging out with us at the beach in a small Ecuadorian coastal town. We love meeting new people!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Staying with us is a chance to experience daily life in a small Ecuadorian coastal town while being part of a laid-back family. You’ll get to practice both English and Spanish with us and the local community, meet our neighbors, and experience the relaxed beach lifestyle here.
  
  We love sharing our own culture (a mix of Ecuadorian and American traditions) and would be excited to learn about yours too-especially through cooking, music, or any creative skills you’d like to share. .
  
  If you’re interested in food, we can teach you how to make bagels and other homemade recipes, and we’d love to learn any of your favorite dishes as well.

  Accommodation

  You’ll have a private room with your own bathroom, so you’ll have your own space to relax. Our house is just a 1‑minute walk to the beach.
  
  We have mountain bikes you can use to explore nearby towns and trails, and if you’ve ever wanted to try surfing, we have a couple of soft-top surfboards you’re welcome to borrow. We are right in front of a great beach break and there are other breaks in the area a car ride away. There is a skate park in a short walk away with a little cafe where locals like to hang out.
  
  We have some shared meals and also provide space available to prepare your own meals as well. Of course, you’ll get to eat plenty of homemade bagels!

  Can host digital nomads

  Yes! We both work online ourselves, so we understand how important a good work setup is. We have reliable WiFi, and you’ll have your own private room with space to work if you need quiet time. The help we ask for is flexible and can be scheduled around your remote work—usually just a few hours a day, and we can plan together to make sure it fits your routine. Many Workawayers spend mornings helping us and keep afternoons free for surfing, exploring, or focusing on their own projects. It’s a relaxed environment, so as long as we communicate, we’re happy to make it work around your digital nomad lifestyle.
