About Me

If you have a nearly empty profile, and no other profiles, do not contact me.
If you contact me to stay with me, include links to your social networking profiles. We do not accept anonymous people.
This location is rustic and not a good match for people who need comfort or are begpacking.

Couchsurfing is one way to learn about Bosque Village, and possibly stay longer.
Sometimes we accept couchsurfers for a few nights to see if they are compatible for the space and project.
If you have performance skills for out YouTube channels then let us know!

Normally people stay for at least a month. There is a longer application to become a participant.

We practice a type of permaculture called Food Forest Gardening using permaculture principles.

We do not accept couch surfers for Day of the Dead. We get 50 or more requests to couchsurf during that time, but our location is remote and so only accept known friends who are paying participants in our cultural programs at that time.

No aceptamos surfistas de sofá para el Día de los Muertos. Recibimos 50 o más solicitudes para hacer couchsurf durante ese tiempo, pero nuestra ubicación es remota y, por lo tanto, solo aceptamos amigos conocidos que pagan participantes en nuestros programas culturales en ese momento.
