Infos

  Description

  The place you will entirely love it!!. The main house it’s being built within a forest (literally!), no machinery has disturbed the forest architecture. I have installed already an iron wired system around and above the house so no trees would fall down hitting the house if you might ask yourself about your security 😜👍🏼.
  The place is located at the Lake District’s region in Chile (south of Chile, Región de Los Lagos)
  
  A lot of magnificent places around as Osorno vulcano and Calbuco vulcano literally around the corner!, Chapo’s lake, Ensenada, Cochamó and several and uncountable places for exploring!!
  The closest town are Puerto Varas, Alerce and Puerto Montt (45-60 minutes!) and the nearest village is Colonia Rio Sur ( 2-5 minutes by car).
  
  The house project is being built in a sustainable way ( I did my degree in Natural resources Engineer by studies).
  
  Currently family members living on site are 2. Atena, 3years old , a Mexican female dog, who loves spicy food, really! She is well trained, and loves to run! Specially after the cattle around! So let her to be happy 😊.
  
  And I, Benjamin Medina, 35 years old, Chilean. I’ve lived abroad for a while, specifically Australia, I speak Spanish, English , both fluently and some French.
  I love meeting new and interesting people, enjoy music, being outside, outdoor sports and the good food tho!!
  Time to time, friends comes over to stay/ help etc. I have a truck 🛻 so there is transportation. The place is reachable by public transport coming from Puerto Montt in a local bus 🚌 (1-2 times a day).
  
  Bikers and self transport are more than welcome any time!🙌

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Atena and I, ( my girlfriend Flor, she lives in Argentina, she is part of the family as well with her cat), we love to share and exchange meals, card games as truco you could learn here before to travel to the southern Patagonia. Local activities as little festivals and garden community you’re more than welcome to come over too!
  
  I can share with you my language skills, my eco-constructing/traditional skills, bow shooting (sometimes trying to bow hunting). Places around and some sports if you would like too. Meeting new friends and local people from this area.
  
  I hope to keep learning and meeting different people all over the world, I love travelling nonetheless from 2022 I have stayed more “sedentary “ so I want to keep travelling around the world hosting people from everywhere else!!👌👌

  Generally we eat 3 times per day, even for depending how starving we could be. Mostly vegetarian ( I have no fridge so I don’t buy certain products nonetheless I eat meat time to time.

  Autres infos...

  In your free time you can enjoy the quite place ( no internet either electrical network, I have a fuel generator , so only 1 hour per day as maximum is on in order to charge some stuff).
  I have a bicycle, you could go biking, doing some couple days hiking, visiting tourist areas and simply enjoy a rest time in order to keep travelling 🧭.
  Transport by bus once a day from Puerto Montt( sometimes 2 times).
  
  Houses rules are basically keep things tidy, water the plants , and bringing your own speaker will help to keep the music running longer. Beside that, the place is chill, waking up with birds and going bed according to the sun light availability at the moment.
  Smokers are welcome, you can smoke cigarettes but in the terrace or anywhere else outside👌
