  Aide

  I'll give preference to Solo Travelers:
  
  *We are in need of 1 strong and active Workawayer to work in the jungle. 5 hours of active work and would prefer somebody who rests, write, paints, exercises etc in situ, just being there to take care of the property. Active work MON-FRI
  
  *I'm looking for 1 crafty Workawayer experienced in social media and making reels to help me in my project. I Can teach you how to make soap, shampoo and herbal Skincare. Be multifunctional, some experience is needed. Need to be VERY detailed oriented and extremely clean. Disciplined.
  
  1.-I need help in building a perimetral rock wall. The rocks can be gathered from the jungle around and some other i can buy a truck. But it has to be both ways to be into my budget. Take care of the property. Shape the jungle, gardening and plant propagation.
  
  2.- Help with social media quality content creation, nice pictures and nice catchy reels for my ecological project and Civil Association for conservation.
  
  Is essential you have done this things and have some experience or at least be very capable, willing and dilligent.
  
  You need to do as I instruct please, I have a lot of experience in many things and KNOW how things need to be done to excell and perform. Sadly lot of people waste our time and resources in things that are garbage or kill my plants and seeds or have done lame works that need to be redone. So it's my way or the highway. If you have a trouble with authority, Hierarchy and following orders, please don't bother. I'm tired of that people that think they know better but have no idea. I need people with discipline, principles and learning attitude.
  
  Number 1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive. I may need help picking garbage, separating recyclables, may be cooking or cleaning if the ocation be.
  
  I have been studying Bio pools for 2 years and I'm designing an Organic pool as David Pagan Butler calls them and will start the construction in october/ November. So help in the realization of this extremely important project, hands and supervision will also be needed.
  
  Mason to build a outdoor Bathtub with rocks??? That be awsome. We have a plastic mould for that and the faucet ready.
  
  We need Responsible, Respectful, Clean, Comitted, Proactive, Skilfull, Strong, Trustworthy, Autonomous, Capable, Critical Thinkers, Independent, diligent volunteers. Leeches please refrain from contacting.
  
  Minimal stays of 2, weeks as it is time consuming to explain how everything works. Depending on your Skills & Profile we can consider more time. Or less.
  
  Water saving is important.
  
  Dry sunny season is March till May
  June starts to Rain some days
  Mosquito season is July.
  Rainy season is September to January.
  Hurricane season in October.
  "Colder" fresher months are from November till February.
  
  To all of you who wish to come, answer these questions:
  
  Dates of availability?
  
  Skills/Experience/Areas of Interest: What have you done and what can you help us with?
  
  *If you are a super expert and actually have experience and KNOW what you do, we can talk.......
  
  Note: If you break something, you'll pay for it. Need to be accountable.
