The Experience

After years of traveling the world, I recently acquired my first home in Huatulco and am excited to make it my own. It is still very basic and needs a lot of work, especially painting, but has internet and is close to beautiful beaches and nature. The house is still being equipped, so some amenities are very basic for now. I offer accommodation for 10 hours of help per week, with 3 days off. Previous reviews are from my family project in Oax City

They are adorable family🥰 Also, they treated me like a real member of their family. They always tried to make me happy by taking me to different places and teaching me about Oaxacan culture! It was truly a valuable experience. I hope to see them again when I return to Oaxaca!! (The volunteer work I did here was helping with gardening in the family's yard, and it was also quite simple.)

Casa Oaxaqueño truly lives up to its name - It felt like home in Oaxaca. My time with Josué and his family was unforgettable. I was not only warmly received but felt like part of the family. I loved learning about Mexican culture through cooking, authentic adventures and conversations. Josué's vision for his family home and garden is inspiring. He always made sure I was okay and helped out whenever he could. He is flexible with the schedule which did make me feel guilty if I hadn't worked all the agreed upon hours. I would definitely recommend this experience! I'm forever grateful - gracias

Estar en casa de Josué y su familia fue la mejor experiencia que pude haber tenido, desde que me aceptaron hubo buena comunicación tanto para enseñarme a llegar al domicilio como para mostrarme como moverme del domicilio a distintos puntos turísticos, una familia muy acogedora y amigables te hacen sentir como en casa, el proyecto a realizar era muy sencillo y junto con la ayuda de ellos fue todo más fácil La habitación y tener baño propio sin duda fue un plus padrísimo y el poder sentirte como si estuvieras en familia hace que tú visita en una ciudad diferente sea perfecto. Volvería a regresar

Ça à été de loin la plus belle rencontre et expérience que j'ai pu vivre. Bien au delà de mes attentes. Dès mon arrivée la famille m'a accueilli comme une des leurs, m'a fait découvrir les coutumes, la gastronomie, les paysages. Des moments de de bonheur, de partage, de convivialité qui resteront marqué à vie. Je recommande vivement ce volontariat pour toute personne qui souhaiterait une immersion authentique auprès d'une famille magnifique et unique. 🌟🎇
