You'll love the mountains!
Arriving in a small village called San Marco Sierras, notably known for its Hippie community and also for its proximity to Capilla del Monte (City of Aliens).
1ᵉʳ day arrived with the bus. We get off and discover an isolated bus station. There are a few buildings around us, and a sort of small burgundy-red house in front of us. It turns out to be the tourist office. The person inside shows me around the town. Specifically, there's access to the river, the hippie museum and the town's various viewpoints.
Our cab driver arrives, and 5 km later he drops us off in front of the house. We discover a large garden with barbecue facilities and our new landlady living 5 m from our house in her little cottage. Fortunately, there's a fence.
The house offers us a large room, combined living room and kitchen, with a log staircase leading up to the mezzanine and what will be Anisah's bedroom. As for me, I'm entitled to the large bedroom and double bed. We're in a remote area, so people have their water delivered. The owner asks us to be careful with the water during our showers.
Turns out these toilets were leaking and I had to fix them temporarily until they came to fix them properly. You'll sense that it took me a while to figure out the owner, and that I didn't start out with a love story.
We listen to the person's 1000 rules. Inside, we discover dry toilets, which I'll be experimenting with for the first time. And indeed, it wasn't at all what I'd imagined. They add a little ash to the package. The result is surprisingly odorless and neutral-looking.
So we're settled in, we don't waste any time and go straight into town... after a 1-hour walk. Ah yes, the pace here is going to be different. We arrive in the village after a lot of expressions like "whouah t'as vu les couleurs dans l'arbre" or "attention aux bords du bord de la route, il peut y avoir des serpents."
We start by eating, because we haven't eaten all day and it's 5pm. We find ourselves a nice little restaurant. And, oh yes! For the experience, it's going to be a completely vegetarian month, well, it's going to be vegetarian ravioli.
We find a bike rental place, which will cost us 20 euros for the month. We finish shopping. Ah shit, it's getting dark. We've only walked the whole way once. On the way back, I've got Dad's voice in my head. Helmet, yellow vest, light... Safety triangle ahah.
Well, Dad, I have to confess something, but in this case, we really had no choice. But, I promise you, we got caught, we didn't plan on going in the dark ahah.
We return with the few house lights illuminating small stretches of road. The moon isn't very bright tonight, so we can't see much. But, well, we really have no choice, so off we go. We follow each other
"
- Wait, was it this one or not
- I don't know go see the sign
- I think so... Look at the photo we took."
The further we go, the more trees there are, so the less we can see. But fortunately, we're getting closer to the house lost in the wilderness.
Here we are in our cabin deep in the forest (no, I'm not talking about the dry toilets). We put down our bikes, and oh my, the owner. Oh yes, the bikes have to be locked up, even though they're hidden behind the house... Okay, Madame, let's do it this way, it's perfectly logical and necessary, you're right.
Well, we eat and spend a quiet evening. Tomorrow is the end of the staggered weekend, and we're back to work.
After that, our two weeks went by at breakneck speed. Lots of anecdotes about the creation of the company and the different stages.
Anisah manages the initial contacts, and I try to make her life as easy as possible with the tools and managing the Google referencing part. When you want to do this properly, there are lots of things to consider.
What we call keywords, which are the terms used primarily to reference our website. Like, I think it would be nice if if if you typed in dry toilets, you came up with toilet vendors and not our application site. That's the idea in a nutshell. Then we're going to translate that into every blog post on our future site.
Here's what you can write about on our site. Fifteen blogs and 1001 other ideas later, we're not done!
And if not, how do you build authority with a website? Ahhh, we need other sites to cite us. That's going to be easy! So basically, you either need a really excellent article that others can reference OR you can write articles for others and get yourself referenced. So let's set up a monitoring system! See what comes up! But, of course, if we can manage to write something for American newspapers like Forbes, that would be great!
Customer relationship management (CRM) software doesn't work the way you want it to
The signature in the CRM is not the same as in the mailbox - 1h30
How to add a signature to an email template - 3h
The form we send out to travelers, wouldn't it be better if it were on our temporary site. It would bring us a bit of business - 2h30
Wouldn't we do the same for the practitioner form? - 3h
The QR code on the posters no longer works, so we need a new way of doing things - 2h
You have to change all the posters in all the hostels - 4 days
And that's not counting the courses I give when I get up in the middle of the night. By the way, you can find my interview for the coworking space that invited me here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7124804044518227968/
My trame patients, of course, for whom I always manage to find a little space.
I realized that I hadn't taken the time to write for this blog in 2 weeks. But I'm writing a lot more, and as you can see, life doesn't offer much space for me. Like parents with a baby, we devote all our time to Wandaura.
Fortunately, we had a visit from a practitioner who accompanied us to the village hippie festival, but that deserves its own blog.
