  Description

  Hello, my name is Andrea, and I own a small hostel in the countryside. In the same place, I have goats that give me a delicious goat cheese. We are in the region of Coquimbo, near Ovalle, so the area has a very good climate and beautiful vegetation. I live with my 13 year old daughter, but I have two other children who study in Santiago, so they come to visit sometimes.

  Vivo con mi hija de 13 años, pero tengo dos hijos mas que estudian en Santiago por lo que vienen de visita a veces.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here workawayers can learn about life in the countryside, what it is like to work and rest. I speak English but it is quite basic so it would be great to practice English and also help with Spanish.
  
  Aca los workawayers pueden aprender sobre como se vive en el campo, como es el trabajo y el descanso. Yo hablo ingles pero bastante basico por lo que seria genial practicar el ingles y también ayudar con el español.

  Help

  I need help of all kinds. Whether it's work in the hostel (cleaning and reception), in the fields, with the goats, in cheese making, or something else that might come up. We can see what suits you and what you want to try, I will always be there to support you as I do all these tasks on a day to day basis.
  
  Necesito ayuda de todo tipo. Ya sea trabajo en el hostal (limpieza y recepción), en el campo, con las cabras, en la fabricación de quesos, u otra cosa que pueda surgir. Podemos ver que es lo que te acomode a ti y lo que quieras probar.Yo siempre estaré para apoyarte ya que en el dia a dia realizo todas esas tareas.

  Accommodation

  The workawyers will have their own room, with a double bed and a bathroom outside the room. It is shared but generally not used much. We live in a big old house. The first floor is the hostel (which has 4 rooms) and we live on the second floor. The workawayer would stay on the first floor. Regarding the meals, I offer you everything you need to prepare your own food, but I can't always cook for you, so sometimes you will have to cook for yourself, but you can use whatever we have in the kitchen.
  
  Los workawyers tendran su propia pieza, con cama matrimonial y con baño fuera de esta. Es compartido pero en general no se usa mucho. Nosotras vivimos en una casona antigua bien grande. El primer piso es el hostal (que cuenta con 4 habitaciones) y en el segundo vivimos nosotras. El workawayer se alojaria en el segundo piso.
  Respecto de las comidas yo le ofrezco todo lo necesario para que se preparen su comida, pero no siempre podre cocinar yo, por lo que a veces tendras que cocinar tu, pero puedes servirte de todo lo que tengamos en la cocina.

  What else ...

  The house is old but everything works well (internet, water, kitchen, etc). In your free time you can go for walks, watch TV, use the swimming pool (in summer season it is clean), go with me to the city when you want to go to the supermarket or get to know more. Whatever I can help you with, I will.
  
  La casa es antigua pero funciona todo bien (internet, agua, cocina, etc). En tu tiempo libre puedes salir a pasear, ver televisión, usar la piscina (en temporada de verano esta limpia), ir conmigo a la ciudad cuando quieras ir al supermercado o conocer mas. Cualquier cosa en la que te pueda yo ayudar, lo haré.
