Description
Hello,
We are two retired teachers from Canada, looking for a short-term work away experience in both Chile & Argentina. We are not so old but not so young. We have ample experience in construction, carpentry, gardening, and eco/ restoration projects. We live in an off-grid tiny home ourselves here in Canada. Our hobbies include hiking, trail-running, painting, and bird-watching. We are excited to visit some of the spectacular local natural destinations.
We look forward to learning more about your culture and experiencing the beauty of your place.
Thank-you,
Chris & LianaInterests

Trees were pruned, weeds killed, gardens tended, horse poop scooped, a house washed and a fence built! I'm probably forgetting half of the other things they… read more
