None

Learning about sustainable living and agriculture, Getting to know Mexico better, Other
What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?
I enjoy volunteering while learning about new cultures and gaining skills in a new laguage. I am a physically fit, eductated professional that is not afraid to get dirty and work hard.
Thank you for your quick response Rudy, if you wish, send me a mail to bge@argovia.com.mx so I can send you a profile of Argovia in English.
Helping hands are always welcome, but an obliged question is what skills do you have, what did you study? Here in Argovia, we operate a very diversified farm, so you might feel more productive and comftable, while practicing spanish and learning more about organics.
Saludos, Bruno

I arrived at Finca Argovia 5 days ago and things are going well. I admit it does take time to get oriented to the cultural differences and reduced availability of outside communications. After 5 days I feel much closer to the staff working here at Argovia and have learned a lot about environmental sustainability, coffee growing, harvesting, processing and exporting. Also I have learned a lot about tropical biodiversity, flowers, water reclamation and recycling, composting, running a resort hotel and restaurant and more. The staff have made me feel at home and I even have the opportunity to help future WWOOFers in their trek to Argovia.
At this very moment I can smell the coffee roasting that happens almost daily around this time. Of course the cafe con leche is to die for.
After getting past my initial feeling of disconnection from my friends, family and familiarity of home I am now thriving here and growing tremendously.
