Description
We are looking for an individual volunteer or couple to live and work with us on our eco hostel. I am English and my wife is Colombian and we have two kids 14 and 16 years old, three cats and three dogs. As a family and a business we are a very relaxed and friendly but also industrious and hard-working. The hostel is located between San Gil and Barichara and has spectacular views, a natural swimming pool, affordable glamping, a citrus orchard, dry toilets and solar showers.
In exchange for 4 hours work, we offer breakfast plus accommodation in a geodesic dome. For guests and volunteers there is a basic campfire kitchen with wood fired stove and oven. We have an excellent restaurant with lots of vegetarian options and volunteers can buy the set lunch or dinner at a special price ($20.000).
The work is mostly garden work, construction, maintenance, publicity or artistic stuff.
We are also looking for a long term (1+ months) volunteer to help with publicity and marketing.
Volunteers must have a high level of either English or Spanish.
We expect all our volunteers to have a proper working attitude as you would in any other job. We welcome all volunteers into our family and we treat them very fairly and respectfully, and in exchange we expect them to do what we ask of them in the best way they can.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
