Descripción
Hello!
We are Céline & Santiago, a Franco-Chilean couple, we live with our 3 fluffy dogs and our cat in San Fabian, on the footsteps of the Andes.
San Fabian is 5 hours south of Santiago, 2.5 hours driving from Concepcion - also accesible by bus. It is a local touristic destination, not very well known yet - but there is a lot to do in the area: hiking, rafting, cycling, swimming in the river, horseback riding etc. Visiting San Fabian and its mountains, you can learn about the traditional lifestyle (incl. of the "arrieros").
We live on a 5.000 sqm piece of land with very nice mountain views, and we constantly work on improving the house and garden to make it our little paradise :)
Celine works remotely as a consultant, and Santiago, engineer in the conservation of natural resources, is fully dedicated to our family projects. We love hiking, woodworking (we do - or try to do - our own furniture), the good food and wine (Santiago is a great cook!) - and meeting new people :)
At the moment, we have a personal project in southern Chile, which means we cannot always be at home, and need someone to stay over and take care of the pets whilst we are away.
Our pets are part of the family, the 3 dogs are big and very affectionate (sometimes a bit too much), so you'll need to be a dog lover to stay here :). The cat is cute too!
PS: we usually commit to one week stays, and are not hosting children for now -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We share 2 different cultures, and are always curious about others! We enjoy sharing about our cultures and learningn about others - food, customs, fun facts...
We enjoy learning, and helping others to learn, languages. We take part in social activities you can join too (eg sports training, social gatherings) - and meet more people!
Staying with us you can learn about the lifestyle here of course, but also develop your DYI skills and learn about traditional chilean food (Santiago grew up in a traditional restaurant) -
Ayuda
At the moment, what we need most is house and pet-sitting.
And there are always things to go gardening-wise! -
Idiomas
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Español: Fluido
Francés: FluidoEste anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
Celine speaks Spanish, French and English fluently, and Santiago mixes the 3 languages! ;P We would love the opportunity to chat in various languages. -
Alojamiento
One bedroom with a double bed, and one small bedroom (in the attic) with 2 single beds.
If you prefer camping or staying in your van, that is possible too.
There is a guest bathroom with hot shower.
If you are only house/pet sitting whilst we are away, you are welcome to use the house and the bikes freely, but as we will be away we won't be offering the meals (you are welcome to cook in the house).
If we are here and it is a working day (i.e. gardening, DYI etc, 5 hours a day), we are happy to share the meals with you (breakfast - lunch - dinner). When we are here, we take care of grocery shopping, but cooking is a shared responsability - we are curious about your best recipes, but no pressure ;). We are not vegetarians, but we only eat meat occasionnally. We can easily accomodate vegetarians. If you are vegan, you may have to be more involved in the cooking! -
Algo más...
We can lend you bikes to go around :)
We live 4km from the town center, where some activities are typically organised in the summer. The nearby river is great for a walk, run and/or a swim.
And of course, you are at the doorstep of amazing hikes! We love to go trekking and can help you organise your hike. -

Super efficient, flexible, respectful, friendly, easy-going, curious... and absolute dog lovers as well.
We could not ask for better volunteers - we were quite sad when they left!
