Hey There,
A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU READ THIS OR TEXT US:
* There is a minimum of a 1 month commitment and a max stay of 3 months.
* We want individual travelers!!!
* We won't take volunteers under 25 years.
* We need at least and INTERMEDIATE LEVEL of English AND Spanish.
We are two fellow travelers like yourself that have started a hostel in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
Living in the Caribbean is a dream come true! We have been able to meet and work with incredible people from around the world, sharing culture, food, stories and the journey of life! As we continue this dream we are looking for hard-working, fun, loving, strong, focused and out-going friends to share this amazing experience with. We have incredible local employees whom have helped us develop and grow over the years. They help us with maintaining the gardens, bike repairs, paperwork and reception, daily cleaning responsibilities and keeping it cool and safe here at the hostel.
It is extremely relaxed in the Caribbean and often times it is difficult to find a balance of work hard/play hard. We are extending this invitation to those of you who know for certain you can manage this personal responsibility!
We will need your help with reception (basic computer skills required), keeping things clean and organized, little projects, and walking the 4 dogs. The dogs are super friendly and will be your best friend and love you once you take them for a beach walk ;-)
There will be a three day training period upon your arrival to get you acquainted with our system and work flow at the hostel.
We have one volunteer room that house two people, but if this is full you will be in a mixed dorm room. Or if you choose you may set up a tent. You will be sharing a shower (warm water), bathrooms and kitchen with the other volunteers, which are your responsibility to keep clean, along with your living space. We do not provide meals. There is a fruit and veggie truck that comes right to our door. He is a local man who gives us great deals! We sometimes do family dinners, we have free coffee in the moring and a lot of more things to offer.
Additionally, we offer you free bikes and snorkel equipment, and use of our laundry facilities in exchange for your help.
Thank for your patience and communication :)
Viola, Daniela & David
