House Sitting opportunity – at FH1
1. The dates are TBD. There’s flexibility of the dates that can allow 1 week before or after the specified time, otherwise if you would like to rent outside those dates at the normal rate: here.
2. The price – $100/month per person – which is only covered for the month we’re in, not from the time you arrive.
3. The food: all food on the property must remain vegan and chemical free (as much as possible), 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 – sea or Himalayan) this is because we use a composting toilet and want to avoid contamination – check out our diet and lifestyle page. 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 proper instructions. Outside our property there are neighbors and local community members that may sell fruit from their private lots. There are a few shop near us in the village 10 minute walk away (possibly rent a bicycle for $2/day if you’d like) as well as two restaurants there with vegan options (just ask – the owner speaks English but he’s not always there so good to use a translator). And the two cities near us are well accessible with good markets and shops with fruit and veggies.
4. We require a guest questionnaire AND arrival confirmation filled out (we are a community and we have multiple owners that may review your questionnaire) unless you already filled it out and got accepted prior. Please fill it out here and the arrival confirmation will be sent to your email for you to fill out once approved.
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 a room and a pond hut cabin, if nothing is reserved you have the choice of any of those if you’d like.
6. $100 security deposit is required per person and will be returned 30 days after departure, as per our security deposit policy (and please read the waiver and guidelines here)
