  Description

  Hello everyone !
  
  We are a French couple, Noémie and Oussama, living in our beautiful Finca in the south of Ecuador (almost Peru) with our 3 years old son, Tao, our cats and chicken. We bought this land almost 4 years ago to leave our dream to become self-sufficient in food and energy. This is a healthy, peaceful life in harmony with our environment. We learn new things everyday about the nature around us and about ourselves too.
  
  The climate here (lot of sun and water) allows us to grow everything and we are continuously trying new variety of fruit to bring more diversity in our food forest. This style of life requests sometimes some labor but it is so worth it when you see the results in your plate (yummy!).
  
  We'd love to share this life experience with people interested to leave on a more traditional, simple way. This way of life forces you to leave in the present moment and requires some adaptation skills. We always have a lot of ideas to improve the place that is about construction and agriculture. This would be mostly the tasks we need help for.
  
  In exchange of your help we can offer you 3 meals a day (mostly vegetarian) and for now a place with a roof to sleep in the tent that we plan to upgrade with time and help of volunteers.
  
  We are flexible about how you want to organize your day. Ourselves we like to take our time in the morning to eat some breakfast and drink coffee (from the finca) and start our tasks when we feel we are ready. Often we start around midday and finish in the late afternoon. We eat mostly fruits during the day and have the biggest meal of the day in the evening.
  
  We really enjoy receiving travellers from around the world. It brings us so much joy to meet new people, show our beautiful place and share our project of autonomy and abundance with them/you.
