Descrição
¡Hola!
My name is Kiko, I am an adventurous chef and a cycling traveler. Is my nature to create new things, therefore, as a consequence I have different projects that need the freshness and ideas from volunteers like you. These projects include our Guest House which is constantly needing maintenance as every house, my two businesses (old big houses in Guanajuato that now work as concept houses) and my foodtruck.
Our Guest House is very special and roustic. I built this exotic cabin in 13 days with a broken leg, and with the surrounding plants of the house it gives you the sensation of living in a treehouse.
Comfortable accommodation and a cool atmosphere in one of the most beautiful cities of the center of Mexico is what we offer in return for your assistance.
Lately we had several requests, and after my reply, possible volunteers tend not to answer anymore. If you are one of these people, please avoid writing. I take my time to read each applicant's profile and answer, so it is disappointing when people ghost, instead of saying "I got something else, I am not coming anymore", which is perfectly understandable.
If you are actually interested in coming and contributing, then WELCOME!
**Recently, 5 cats have been adopted from the streets, so unfortunately we cannot receive people with pets, since it would be hard for them to adapt their lives to more animals in the house. Sorry!

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You will have the chance to learn and practice Spanish while staying here, share time with local people and try out your skills, depending on the activities you choose. Guanajuato is a cultural hub and hosts one of the most important universities in the area, which means there are plenty of activities and events to join.
Also, I have traveled around Mexico many years, so I will happily exchange traveling and local tips with you.
Ajuda
Currently, I need help with the following activities. You can choose one or more projects:
- General maintenance. You will be staying at a our house that once pretended to be a hostel, so every new idea for decoration and final details are welcome. Your tasks will include cleaning of the place, watering the plants, any repair of the facilities and other house duties.
- Carpentry / Gardening / Building 7 Painting. I constantly need carpentry help and things that might just come up at the house and businesses.

Inglês: Fluente
Espanhol: FluenteEste anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
I speak fluent English so we can learn from each other. I am willing to teach Spanish to you! Also I speak basic Italian and would love to learn more.
Acomodação
You will stay at the cabin. There are single and double bunk beds available which share bathroom and shower, and it has a nice view of Guanajuato.
We are located 10-15 min walking from Mercado Hidalgo and downtown area, 5 min from Castillo Santa Cecilia, and there is access to public transport just down the alley.
Meals are not included, but we have a fully equipped kitchen available for you. Also, since I’m a chef, I usually experiment with new dishes, so we will probably share some meals together.
Algo mais...
Because of its beauty and uniqueness, Guanajuato’s city historic center and the adjacent mines were proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Founded by the Spanish in the early 16th century, Guanajuato became the world's leading silver-extraction center in the 18th century. This past can be seen in its subterranean streets and particular structures full of alleys, so just walking in the city is a magical experience.
In this city you will never get bored! There are options for everyone to spend their free time.
Since it is a university place, it keeps young and alive the 7 days of the week. It has great nightlife and bars/restaurants/cafes to enjoy. There are always cultural and musical festivals in the different theaters and public parks.
Also, if you are a nature lover, the surrounding areas offer different hikes and trails for mountain biking. Just a few minutes walking from the house you have the Orito Park, an opportunity to enjoy the forest, or you can take the bus to Sierra de Santa Rosa and camp there for the weekend.

She helped mostly with painting walls and furniture, but also did some carpentry and cleaning duties, so she's definitely not afraid of getting her hands dirty.
