Descripción
Hola! We are Ed (Canadian) and June (British), living in the beautiful countryside 25 minutes from Sucre, Bolivia. The land measures 10.5 acres and has 360 degree views of the Andean mountains. We were backpacking through South America when we landed in Sucre, Bolivia, fell in love with the Colonial city and the surrounding countryside and decided to relocate from France.
June is a writer/property developer and Ed a project manager/constructor. We built our home from adobe and stone and ran it as a boutique hotel for four years before changing course to create a small urbanisation, selling plots of land to people wanting to live in the countryside.
We have been hosting Workawayers since June 2010 and have enjoyed sharing travel stories over meals, teaching each other new skills and in many cases making lifetime friends. We have new and exciting projects continually emerging and would like to invite workawayers age 25+ to help us for 2 weeks or longer. The work is mostly gardening and general maintenance but there are opportunities to learn building in adobe and mosaic work.
We love enthusiastic and creative helpers who are physically fit and ready to tackle anything that needs doing. An ability to function independently when not working is also essential.
We have a 15 year old Siamese cat called Sumac which means handsome in Quechua, the local indigenous language, who will take any amount of love from anyone who stays with us. We also are custodians of 8 hens - all of whom are called Henrietta as they all look the same!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We enjoy sharing stories of our 15 years living in Bolivia and of our travels in other countries. We can help with navigating the Colonial city of Sucre as well as Potosi and Uyuni.
Ayuda
We are looking for 2 workawayers at any one time (couples or 2 friends) age 25+ with basic English and some Spanish, to help us with gardening, organic farming, land-clearing, fencing, greenhouse-building and irrigation. People with experience in these areas are particularly welcome as are volunteers who are happy to do general maintenance, painting and general upgrading of building structures.
Daily hours vary but do not exceed 25 a week. We try to give volunteers two consecutive days off each week to allow for an overnight stay in Sucre or to visit Potosi, the highest city in the world.
Breakfast and lunch (the main meal of the day in Bolivia) are provided on the days you are working but not on your days off. An evening meal is not eaten in Bolivia and if required is the responsibility of workawayers - there are several cheap local shops nearby selling everything you would need for basic meals and snacks as well as fast food options in the evening for around $1 US.

I am a qualified teacher of English as a Foreign language and am happy to help out beginners wanting to learn Spanish.
Alojamiento
Our volunteers are housed in a room in a group of buildings close to the main house. There is an adjacent bathroom with a hot shower. There is also a kitchen where you can make tea/coffee and snacks, including breakfast. Workawayers are expected to respect these spaces regarding tidiness, cleanliness and hygiene.
Algo más...
There are beautiful walks from our property with stunning views of the Andes mountains. You can also walk down to small shops and snack bars nearby for a cold drink at the end of the day. Colonial Yotala is a 45 minute walk away or a 10 min bus ride, with shady plazas and a lively Sunday scene with a chance to try the famous Yotala roast pork.
The colonial city of Sucre (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is accessible by regular daytime mini buses, stopping a 15 minute walk from our property. There are plenty of museums, bars and restaurants and some interesting nightclubs should you wish to stay in Sucre on your days off. Potosi, the highest city in the world, is a 3 hour bus ride where you can take a tour of the mines and visit the Money Museum. Tarabuco is a small rural town with an indigenous market every Sunday - a good place to buy weavings and other souvenirs.
