In exchange we can share our knowledge of this beautiful part of Mother Earth which is famous for its, hiking, biking, climbing, farming, and rich musical history,

(New York City) Our new home is a big split ranch home on an acre of land surrounded by nature. The photos are a collage of the home when it was furnished by the prior owners and we are in the process of painting and refurnishing!

  This is a semi rural quiet property a short distance to the local Rail Trail where nature lovers can hike or bike. On recent hikes we have seen deer, owls, turtles, a multitude of birds. There are connecting buses nearby to all locales and we can meet you at nearby bus stop.
  
  Pam was a workawayer in Uruguay January through March in 2017 and loved the experience of immersion in Spanish culture and being able to share her time, energy and expertise in exchange for a place to stay and meals.
  
  We are non-smokers and non-drinkers and prefer to have workawayers who are aligned with our healthy lifestyle. Smoking outside and moderate drinking in your free time is acceptable. We like our home to be kept clean and well organized and appreciate your support in that. Responsible use of the facilities and cleanliness of shared space is a basic requirement. We are deeply grateful for the good life and home we have here and enjoy our free time, have a lot of fun, laughs but we are not "party people" or " 4/20 friendly".
