Descrição
I am a Canadian artist, living in Mexico for the past 30 years. Among the activities that interest me are painting, writing, gardening, sculpting, drums and guitar and meditating.
Live on a small property that is on a bluff overlooking the lake. There are 3 houses as well as some independent rooms. We use solar energy for heat, compost and reuse our water. This a rental property, that we also use for workshops particularly for Vipassana Meditation. My teacher was Acharn Tong from Thailand and I teach the technique I learned from him.

We consider Viktor as family now. And his beautiful friend Javier. The dogs. Everything. This opportunity came along at a time when we were a bit beaten by travelling. My heart still hurts to have left! Viktor is a unique human being that doesn’t come along often. He is kind-hearted, generous, talented and laugh-out-loud funny. Composting,… read more

Victor is such a considerate, funny and easy-going host. We felt at home from the first minute (although arriving in pouring rain). Together with the other people staying there, we felt a bit like a Family.
