    ABOUT US

    Currently LUCAS (in his 50s and from Mexico) is running The Place, with ULLA (in her 60s and from Germany) managing the workawayer page and communications.

    The Place consists of 11 apartments and rooms, a pool, lots and lots of plants, and a labyrinth of more rooms, stairs, decks, and passages.

    All are in constant need to be taken care of.

    Btw, this is NOT A HOSTEL, tho it looks like one!!!


    OUR OFFER

    We offer you a guestroom with a shared bathroom, a shared kitchen, and a few spaces to hang out.

    Your regular workaway hours are:
    Mon to Fri
    830 to 1130 am.


    IT'S A FUNKY PLACE!!!

    Our shared Kitchen is an open air kitchen, and it just gets dusty, no matter how much or how often you clean.

    Due to living in the tropics, we do have termites. We try to keep on top of them and erradicate them, but... they keep coming back.

    Oh, and our pool sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't...

    If these are issues you can live with, or clean them to YOUR satisfaction WITHOUT COMPLAINING about it, then this is a good place for you.

    If these kinds of issues make you feel uncomfortable, then it might be better to look for a different host.


    ABOUT LUCAS

    Lucas is originally from Mexico City, but has spent decades living in The Bahia de Banderas.

    He is one of these guys, that can do anything he puts his mind to, and most of the time he does it well.

    He is very much an introvert.

    Also, he is in a relationship with Terry, but she is not directly involved in the running of The Place.


    ABOUT OUR VILLAGE

    The population of La Cruz is a mix featuring
    - a Mexican village,
    - plus a snow bird population of mostly US and Canadian retirees during the winter months,
    - plus year round or part time sailors anchored in the La Cruz Marina close to the apartments.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Travelers have the opportunity to live and volunteer in a complex environment:

    - there are Mexicans, Americans, Germans, and Canadians living on the property in the middle of a Mexican fishing village;

    - those of us living on and/or visiting the property range in ages from 2 till 75, tho most of us are in our 60s; and

    - we constantly switch back and forth between 2 languages (English, and Spanish) with various skill levels and improvisational abilities with some German mixed in there.

    Welcome to life in the midst of a Mexican fishing village with lots of visitors - all close to the Pacific ocean.

    - WiFi
    - a 5 minute walk to the nearest beaches (which are not surfing beaches)
