  Description

  Mexico hostel. Here's an opportunity to visit San Cristobal de las Casas and meet the most popular maestro (teacher) of salsa and bachata in Chiapas. We have this little project called a hostel, and we need someone to help us prepare it. If you dance something already, we can provide you with a salsa and bachata class if you like it. Any questions?:)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Practicing Spanish through conversation, learning and dancing salsa and bachata with an experienced maestro, and enjoying the rich cultural experience of Chiapas. San Cristóbal is one of the most beautiful towns here — that’s why people call it ‘magic.’ The weather is perfect for living (not too hot, usually around 25°C). There’s a large local market where you can buy very cheap and high-quality fruits and vegetables (Chiapas is much cheaper compared to other Mexican states). You can find delicious mangos for 10–15 pesos per kilo, and much more.
  There’s also a nice international community here, people living in Chiapas come from all corners of the world. We have a lot of artists developing or just sharing their skills here in many fields. In San Cristobal, you can also participate in all kinds of classes: yoga, theater, making real chocolate, cacao ceremonies, and temazcal. We’ll show you where the bars with interesting events are.

  Building Help Wanted
  If you have experience in construction, we’d love to hear from you! :)
  We’re looking for someone who can help us build a small cabana where guests can sleep. It needs to be well waterproofed, as it can rain heavily for several hours here. If you’ve built a wooden garden sauna before, that’s also something we’d be very interested in!
  
  Hospitality
  We’re looking for someone to help with basic hospitality tasks: changing beds, cleaning common areas, and occasionally welcoming guests (we have just six rooms).
  We need someone reliable who can:
  -Change sheets and sometimes hang the laundry
  -Clean 2 bathrooms
  - Vacuum and mop the floors
  - Keep the space tidy once or twice a day
  It’s usually an easy job and takes about 1–3 hours a day — we also help with it. If there’s not much to do in the hostel, we often need help in the garden too. If you’re quick and efficient, it usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours a day. That’s around 10–15 hours per week.
  
  Artists & Creatives
  We’re looking for artists with a portfolio to paint Aztec-style or similar motifs on the walls, or maybe a big mandala on the terrace, or something crazy and cool. Musicians, yoga teachers, and other creatives are also welcome — we have big spaces on the terrace and in the garden - we are open to your ideas for collaboration. For example, if you bring us some people, you can have a space to do a workshop and accommodation.
