Description
I am Paulina, a traveller, psychologist and I live in Viña del Mar (about 15 minutes from the main square, 1 block away from public transit).
I have used workaway as a traveller in America and Europe, and I believe it's an excellent opportunity to meet interesting people and have a cultural exchange, helping each other.
The house is a two story building near Viña's botanical garden with flowers and a small forest, the city of Viña del Mar where you can find a beautiful beach and lots of things to do, and Valparaiso which is an interesting place with old markets and good nightlife.
Mainly your tasks will be everyday chores like cleaning, basic bricolage, water the plants, basically house keeping, just general maintenance.
As I've been a workaway myself, I know comfort and privacy is very important so you'll have your own room with a nice queen size bed with fresh linen and a shared bathroom, and you can use the kitchen and common spaces at your leisure.
We ask our workawayers for 15 hours / week (5 days a week, 3 hours per day).
