    Hello we are mix family : Ritney from Indonesia, Luch from Italy and two boys Niko 11yo and Leon 6yo. We are homesteading in 4 hectares rancho/farm with mango trees, 10 km from the beach named Puerto Arista in Chiapas coast Mexico.
    We would like to be self sustainable. We creating organic farm with no chemical use on the land.
    We also unschooling our children.

    I require minimum of 2 weeks stay if possible , so that we can finish a project during your stay.
    We expect 3 hours help/day, 5 days a week. Saturday and Sunday is your free day.
    You will be responsible for acquiring your own food. That being said, we will take you to the supermarket with our car so you can buy whatever you need. Also when we have extra food such fresh fish, fresh eggs, fruits, fresh milk...etc we would be happy to share.

    If you are native Italian, you can help my children to study because all of their books are in Italian.

    This area is well-known for their livestock such cows, locally made fresh cheese, fish, shrimp and prawns. Many affordable local restaurants serves dishes made from shrimp and fish.

    In general the weather here is hot. Even during the rainy season can be humid hot. After all it's a seaside town.
    October to February is warm during the day and cooler in the night. The beach is at it best during this time, Calmer.
    March is starting to get hot. During the day and sometimes at night too.
    The hottest month is in april. That's when our mango trees give fruits.
    June is start the rainy season until September.

    If you can appreciate the warm weather, the breeze that comes through the trees to our rancho, the nature, the beach, the mango season, fresh raw cow milk, fresh fish and shrimp from the fisherman... Then I think you'll like it here.

    I notice that some work awayer wants to practice their Spanish language. Although we fluent in Spanish, we are Italian-Indonesian family. We speak either Italian, and English. I sometimes speak Indonesian with my children, depends on the situation. So, our household is not ideal for Spanish language immersion.

    You'll experience organic homestead living. I can show you how we make our own mozzarella cheese, cream cheese and yogurt from fresh milk, making mango jam when it's season.
    You can converse with us and our children in 3 different languages. You can enjoy seaside living and farm living at the same time.
