Descripción
My (Colombian) husband and I (English) have recently moved to the countryside in a small village called Calderón on the outskirts of Puerto Boyacá , Boyacá . We're in the process of setting up a new business, so would love to host workawayers with experience of creating websites and social media such as Instagram. And also if you like gardening/growing plants and veggies, you're most welcome. You must like dogs as we have three fairly large dogs, and if you're up for some dog walking/training, that would be even better!!
We live in the countryside near Puerto Boyacá, Boyaca. It's quiet and peaceful and not in the least bit touristy.
Puerto Boyaca is roughly halfway between Bogotá and Medellin. The town is about half an hour away from Calderón where we live.
The internet here is quite sporadic, so if you need to connect every day this workaway is not for you!
If you like nature you're in for a treat as there are lots of animals and birds here
Prepare to be woken up by parrots!
I am pretty fluent in Spanish, and most of my friends are Colombians so there is plenty of opportunity to learn/improve your Spanish. In addition to sharing my nice rustic house in the countryside, you will also be well fed as I am a very good cook!
I really cannot take smokers. I am allergic to smoke.
Thank you!

Camilo, my husband, would like to learn some English, as he only speaks Spanish. In return, we will help you improve your Spanish. As we speak Spanish at home, you'll have ample opportunity to practice Spanish.
Alojamiento
Sharing my house. My volunteer will have their own bedroom and share the rest of the house, and very ample garden with my husband and I and our dogs.
Sorry but I cannot take any smokers.
I normally take single volunteers, but occasionally I can accommodate a couple.
Algo más...
We're very relaxed and easy going. You'll have plenty of free time to explore
The nature have is amazing, from cows to crocodiles and the variety of birds is incredible If you're into ornothology, grab your binoculars and enjoy the spectacular variety of birds here in Boyaca.

A great host! And a great way to spend more time in Guatape. Bernice had lots of friends in Guatape that she will introduce you to.
The work isn't hard, and Bernice feeds you very very well on the days you are working (5 per week)!!
Keep in mind that this is a very touristy location in Colombia if you are looking for a very cultural experience.

Karolina came to me a short notice, and was a great help. Although she is quite a shy girl, she made friends here in Guatape and had lots of opportunity to practice her Spanish.

Jason is incredible - he turned up just when I needed him, and totally saved my skin, as my cafe/restaurant has really taken off.
