  Hello, I’m a mid 40’s New Zealander living in a mountain rainforest of Puerto Rico, I recently discovered my first love with semi off grid living, I feel as though I just discovered one of the biggest joys of my life! There’s nothing quite like living immersed in nature!! :D
  
  To be transparent: I am in the very very early stages of planning/ observing the terrain, getting familiar with how everything organically flows on the 5 acre homestead, Permaculture is the foundation of this labor of love! This little slice of heaven is located in the foothills of Americas only rainforest, El Yunque National Park!
  
  I get to a wake up each morning to breath taking sunrises, the sounds of nature, over looking the Caribbean & distant islands.
  
  Seeking detail oriented volunteers with natural initiative. We will begin our days at sunrise in attempt to beat as much of the heat as possible.
  
  We are one hour from the San Juan airport, 10 minutes drive from the closest town 10 minutes drive from the closest beach.
  If you are inquiring about house/pet sitting , you would need to rent a vehicle. If you are applying for another position, we would highly recommend renting a car.
  
  **looking for a potential permanent full timer also, seriously considering creating a very small community here on the 5 acres, if so let me know! **

  Ajuda

  The homestead will be designed to be completely self-sufficient and sustainable. It will include a large food forest, orchard, and livestock pastures. The property also features a natural spring, which will provide a reliable source of additional clean water. (We have a well also) We would love to welcome you to be a part of it, eventually there may be some basic building involved as we update & repair the farm house and ideally add accommodations to the property, create ponds etc. Would love to hear from y'all!

  Acomodação

  I am offering accommodation & weekday meals in exchange for 25 hours of work (Tues - Thurs). So y’all can have 4 days off in a row! :)
  
  Volunteers will provide own snacks & weekend meals (volunteers to cook meals & dishes - weekdays).
  
  The property is 15 mins drive to closest village/ beach, 30 mins to townships (where rentals cars can be picked up etc) & 60 mins drive to San Juan/ Airport. Ubers are available to and from vehicle rental locations & airport.
  
  The home is 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, equipped with Starlink Wi-Fi, so you can stay “connected”. Your bedroom is private, with the basics you need including a fan and shared en-suite. The property and surrounding National Park are true bliss, we are literally within minutes of waterfalls, hiking trails and Caribbean beaches, I am so grateful to be here & certain you will be too.
