I’m looking for one or two responsible travelers to help me finish a home renovation project in Mexico City before I rent the house. Tasks include painting, cleaning, organizing, small repairs and general maintenance. In exchange, you’ll have a private room, access to the kitchen and plenty of free time to explore. I’m a writer, artist and sociologist, and I enjoy sharing Yoga, AcroYoga, languages, food, ideas and cultural exchange.

This is a small home-renovation and cultural exchange project in Mexico City. I’m preparing my house for its next chapter and looking for one or two travelers to help me finish painting, cleaning, organizing, small repairs and general maintenance.
The exchange is 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off. You’ll have a private room, access to the equipped kitchen, high-speed internet and plenty of free time to explore the city, work remotely or pursue your own interests.
But the project is also about sharing a home and experiences. I’m a writer, artist and sociologist, interested in philosophy, culture, creativity and social issues. I practice and teach Yoga and AcroYoga and can occasionally share sessions with volunteers who are interested. I also enjoy language exchange, cooking, conversations and informal spaces for reflection and exchanging ideas.
You don’t need to be a professional, but you should be responsible, proactive, respectful and comfortable with practical work. The goal is to create a genuine exchange: helping each other, sharing perspectives and enjoying Mexico City together.
Activities
- Painting walls, doors and other surfaces
- Deep cleaning and organizing rooms and common areas
- Small repairs and basic DIY tasks
- Installing or assembling simple elements
- Moving and organizing furniture and belongings
- General home maintenance
- Finishing touches to prepare the house for rental
Professional experience is not required for every task. Some activities can be done together, while others may require working independently. What matters most is being responsible, careful and willing to help.
Shifts
5 hours per day · 5 days a week · 2 days off
The schedule is flexible and can be arranged according to the tasks and the volunteer’s plans.
The two days off are completely free for exploring Mexico City, working remotely, resting or pursuing personal projects.
If two volunteers are staying at the same time, we can coordinate their schedules so that the project continues smoothly while everyone has enough personal time.
Respect, communication and consideration are the most important rules in the house.
- Please keep shared areas clean and tidy after using them.
- Be respectful of the house, the neighbors and everyone staying here.
- Smoking is not allowed inside the house.
- Guests are welcome during reasonable hours, but please let me know in advance if you plan to invite someone over.
- People who are not part of the Workaway stay may not sleep at the house or use the house facilities without prior agreement. This includes bedrooms, kitchen, laundry and other shared facilities.
- Please respect quiet hours, especially at night.
- Everyone is welcome to use the kitchen, but please clean up after cooking.
- Personal belongings and private spaces should always be respected.
- If something gets damaged or stops working, please let me know rather than trying to hide it.
- The house is a shared home, not a party house. A relaxed and social atmosphere is welcome, but please be considerate of the space and the neighbors.
- Outside the agreed work hours, your time is completely your own. You are free to explore Mexico City, work remotely, rest or make your own plans.
