  Description

  Hey there !
  We are Raphael and Morgane, bestfriends who are realizing their dreams in Mexico 🌞
  
  We arrived 5 years ago in Buenavista, and have the vision to open a guesthouse that suits the vision we have of life ! Through many years traveling, we have been to differents hostel and now it's our turn to host people !
  
  Two years ago, we organized a workshop about how to build an earth bag Dome, and we finished the construction last year.
  With the grateful help of others work away, we could even do a terrace and mosquitos free zone area ! 😎🙏
  
  However, I ( Morgane ) got pregnant last year and just welcome a newborn. We couldn't be in Mexico for a long time, and sadly even if we kept it maintien through some rentals, the Dome need a VERY GOOD freshen up 😁
  
  We have also having some friends around to help us. So we speak English, french, Spanish and Dutch together !

  At this moment we need help with the Dome : painting it in a new color ( terra cotta ) breaking a bit the Dome to built some aeration conduct, wood/metal jobs .. !
  Also planning and building a rooftop on the top of the studio ! 😁 With an amazing view of the jungle, birds and sometimes monkeys 🐒🦜
  
  But we have also some gardening ( planting trees, flowers..) fencing, painting..
  
  We welcome everyone who want to join our little team to make it even more beautiful, and give a bit of your soul forever here 🌿
  If you like painting/ drawing, we have some walls you can have fun with 👌
  
  A basic day would be :
  Waking up on a fresh hours, enjoy a healthy breakfast on the terrace, some yoga and get ready to work on the land.
  We take a break a bit before noon as it gets hot during this time of the year, we have lunch, rest, we go swim to the Laguna or chill in an hammock, read a book.. !
  In the afternoon, we go back to the land and finish the day with an apéro and sunset on the rooftop 😁
  All of that with some good vibes and music ! 🎵
