Hi! I’m Luis, a carpenter from Ecuador with experience in furniture making and woodworking. I’m building a small creative project where volunteers can learn practical carpentry skills while sharing cultures, ideas, and daily life.
The help is mainly focused on:
sanding furniture
painting and finishing
organizing tools and materials
simple woodworking tasks
helping create content/photos for social media sometimes
This is a relaxed and friendly environment. I’m not looking for professional carpenters only. Motivation, good energy, patience, and willingness to learn are more important 🌿
You’ll also have time to:
practice Spanish or English
explore local places
enjoy nature, rivers, waterfalls, and small-town life
learn about Ecuadorian culture
I previously traveled in France with a Working Holiday visa, so I really enjoy cultural exchange and meeting people from different countries.
Horas de ayuda
Around 20-25 hours per week
Usually 4-5 hours per day
Flexible schedule depending on projects
Lo que aprenderán
Basic woodworking techniques
Furniture finishing
Sanding and painting methods
Creative DIY processes
Cultural exchange and local lifestyle
We ask volunteers to be respectful, responsible, and open-minded. Please keep the workspace clean, use tools carefully, follow safety instructions, and respect the agreed schedule. No experience is required, but a positive attitude, patience, and willingness to learn are very important. Tools and machinery should only be used with supervision. We also ask volunteers to respect our home, family, and local community.
