Travelling

Activities i am interested in:

Interested in exploring more rural Colombia, especially hiking, wildlife watching and horse-riding. Would love to get to know locals and practice Spanish too.
Description

I am taking some time out of work (as a data engineer) to explore South America. I love animals, hiking, cycling, salsa, bachata, making websites, taking videos on my GoPro and cooking new dishes (especially vegan although I am not vegan myself).

For me, the most interesting way to discover places and cultures is with the local people (and through delicious local food and drink!)

I'm interested in learning a host of new skills, from building to farming to technology. I would like to give everything a go. I can also help hosts in particular with their websites (building one from fresh or updating theirs).

Kalina, thank you very much for all your support on our farm. Thank you for your love for our animals. You were always willing to do anything and to learn everything, with a very good attitude. Without a doubt, you adapt to any kind of work. You are always welcome.

I had such a great time at Diego's horse ranch and will always remember my time there, Toquilla is a really great place to experience rural Colombia. Diego gave clear instructions on daily tasks and once they were done you are free to go out horse riding, for which he also gave me a couple lessons which I really appreciate. The tasks were … read more

We had an incredible time at the place. The whole community is very friendly and welcoming (including the cows) and it's a great place to learn about mantra meditation and kirtan. During the day you can expect to work 4-5 hours gardening or some other outdoor work and in return you get accommodation and 3 incredibly tasty meals (healthy Indian … read more

Kalina and Dan were the perfect guests and helpers. Both were easy to be around , supportive I've so many ways and even better alert, aware conscious and able to reely hear,communicate and learn. We were sad to see them go and consider them both part of our greater family.
Highly recommended and appreciated.

We are both very grateful for the time we spent and all the things we learned.
