We are a family made up of my mother and father, and I, we really like to make friends, interact, and learn about other cultures.

We need help in the daily cleaning of the house, small projects as well and we offer trips to Mexico City, Teotihuacan, the Tolatongo caves, etc. at a very low cost for workaway backpackers.
