  Description

  Hello Workawayers,
  My name is Bárbara I'm 39 years old and I live near to Coquimbo in a farm area which is called Pan de Azúcar.
  I am a very fun woman and I really like to share with people, it would be ideal if they also spoke some Spanish.
  I live alone in my own little house on the prairie, but my parents also have their house here.
  we are constantly needing help to weed the land and clear the trees so they have a good season.
  
  Currently my English is very weak, so I am very interested in receiving travelers at home to help me strengthen my English.
  
  I live in the countryside, an agricultural area that is increasingly populated, getting there is possible by collective locomotion and private car. In front of my house my parents live who are older adults with reduced mobility. sometimes we need help with my parents.
  I have a room where you can sleep comfortably and warm, you need to use your own sleeping bag.
  
  I am available for those who wish to come home and share their culture with us, we can do some walks and visits to nearby places.
