House Sitting opportunity – at FH1

1. The dates are Nov 1st to Nov 30 or so. There’s some flexibility of the dates that can allow more time if your wanna come earlier but not much later than 30th unless you would like to rent at the normal rates here.

2. The stay is free during the time specified and location (FH1), apart from basic maintenance on your own and basic supplies up to you to get such as toilet paper (we have a butt spray bidet that helps reduce the paper used), wood shavings (we use a dry composting toilet) they cost $2 each and normal use is about 1-2 sack per week. Laundry is $2 per load in our machine (there are laundry mats in nearby town as well) we don’t have a dryer at this time. Use of the fridge and freezer would be additional cost of $5/month each and you are expected to clean it out a cleaning fee of $20 will be applied. You are welcome to leave a donation (cash accepted), suggestion is $50/month for utilities like electric, internet and utility use, however it is not mandatory since we have no renter at this time.

3. The requirement is that all food in the property remain vegan and chemical free, unprocessed as possible (minimal processing is allowed of course, blending, dehydrating and cooking is allowed as long as no oil is used, salt only the natural kind if possible.) this is because we use a composting toilet and want to avoid contamination. We grow lots of food and you are welcome to help yourself to the bananas, lemons, rolinia and whatever else might be in season at that time. We have some papayas too (but not many) and plenty of tropical greens in the garden that can be harvested with instructions. Outside our property there are neighbors and local community members that may sell fruit. There are a few shop near us in the village 10 minute walk away (possibly rent a bicycle if you’d like) as well as two restaurants there with vegan options (just ask). And the two cities are well accessible with good markets and shops with fruit and veggies.

4. We require a guest application filled out since we are a community and we have multiple owners. Please fill it out here

5. Location: is between El pangui and Gualaquiza (after Zamora on the Zamora river) see getting here, more detailed instructions will be sent after approval. The FH1 house has 2 rooms and a pond hut cabin, if nothing is reserved you have the choice of any of those if you’d like. We can provide bedsheets for $5 per bed or you can bring your own.
