help needed with bamboo house and cacao farm!

Details

• 

  Description

  I have an organic farm located on the remote ecuadorian coast. I am a 27 year old surfer whose goal is too balance the connection between land and water in my life, and share its gift with others. The farm sits about 8 mins up from my favorite wave in the world, and one of the longest lefts in ecuador. The farm is mostly cacao, with banana, verde, guanoabana, citrus varieties, and many other fruits. I am currently in the process of working on some of the house and doing some more planting/ overall maintenance of the land. I am a surfer who was inspired while traveling around on a budget, and slowly learned the magic of working with the land, My goal is to share the connection of land and water with others, and also learn from others, as this is a very new project!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The balance between surf and the land! I have been a surf instructor for the past 5 years, and would love to share the gift of the surf with others, also I have a few perfect boards to learn on and use! I make pasta de cacao from the cacao using the local methods, and would love to teach others the importance of this sacred plant. Learning the local wildlife as well.
