Description
We are a Canadian couple in our 60s and have been living in Costa Rica for 17 years now. We live on a finca (farm and land). We have land chores and always have something to do. We also have horses, dogs and cats. We welcome some help and the company. Being a very good rider and recognizing equestrian needs would be great for us. Someone who knows how to cook and prepare nice meals would be also a big help or repairing stuff around the house. Always something to fix.
We live on walking distance to the city of Nicoya Guanacaste. We are 40 min away from many beaches too.
