  Descrição

  I´m Lucila a 33 year old college graduate in journalism. I have lived in this farm practically my whole life but my family is from the USA. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish.
  Although I studied journalism and photography, nowadays I feel more connected to nature and I want to focus my life in finding ways of sustainable living. These days my work consists on making the property a self sufficient farm using Eco Friendly and biodynamic methods and always respecting the environment we live in.
  Im also a Yoga teacher, I have 500 h of Yoga training, and I teach weekly clases as well as organize retreats at the property were I sometimes teach classes or collaborate with other teschers and usually do the cookikg.
  I love cooking vegetarian meals with veggies from the garden if possible. I enjoy very much meeting new people and learning from their cultures. And mostly I love taking care of my animals: Lobo, Jara, Nala and Otto the dogs. Marley, Pipo, and Canelo the cats. Donkey, the donkey and Celestina the pony- horse. We also have chickens that give us delicious fresh eggs!

As well as helping out with daily cleaning and cooking tasks.
  Also if you are a Yoga or meditation teacher you might want to teach some clases to gain some experience and substitute me while Im on maternity leave.
