  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Born in UK my first language is english but fluent in spanish. I have lived in both countries and am now settled in Colombia. I have plenty of relatives here and made many friends in the village though my shop/restaurant. Generally interested in meeting new people and making people welcome. Colombia is an amazing country and travelling by public transport is fun and economical. In a couple of hours you can be in a swimming pool in a warm and sunny climate. Colombian people are very welcoming and there is a growth in ecohostels. The diversity in Colombia is amazing and there is so much to see.

  Ayuda

  Hi, I am offering variety of experiences. Help with the dogs, mainly collected from the street currently 13 of them. Jobs include, feeding, watering, poo scooping, affection, paddock care, grooming and hole filling! Experience is required please of dealing with numerous dogs, it isn't like having family dogs more like kennels.
  
  Also! I have a small plot of land that I would like to plant trees on. I have a veg plot which always needs attention.
  
  I need to set up a rainwater harvesting system and have got as far as buying some tanks.
  
  Lots to do as at the moment I am managing all this by myself.
