Description
Hi there!
My name is Tania, im Mexican and I have been living in Puerto Escondido for the last 9 years. 6 years ago I had the chance to start my own hostel having in mind creating a unique, comfortable and friendly home for travelers.
I love what you can learn from people, listening to their stories and backgrounds and most importantly the synergy created when working as a team! Thats why Im looking for respectful, creative, reliable, energetic, social and fun people to help out in a wide variety of activities!
Theres always something to do at the house, from welcoming guests to planting tomatoes in the garden or painting rooms or building something new or surfing! You need to like being around others, interacting with guests, making them feel at home and of course having a lot of fun! (even better if you have any artistic or handyman skills, as I'm trying always to improve the house). I'd prefer if you can stay a minimum of 1 month (but the longer the better) also depending on the vibe and how we connect.
You will be living in beautiful La Punta Zicatela, 2 minutes away from the beach and close to all the restaurants and bars. Everything you would need is in a walking distance, taxis and public transportation are available to take right in the corner of the house. And if you're into surfing we have surfboards you can use! In other words, I want you to feel like you are home!
We accept helpers from all over the world however english is a must since it is the main language spoken by travellers
So, if this sounds like a good idea for you, please send me an email!
PS. Being a dog lover is a plus!
