The experience

Hey family!
I’m building Dankema, a regenerative off-grid refuge in the jungle by the ocean. Everything here is made from natural materials, so it needs constant care. I’ll be away for 3 weeks and I’m looking for someone to stay and take care of the place as if it were their own home. Food is not included. Real exchange: purpose, nature, tribe. If you feel the call, reach out.
