  Description

  Please review availability on our calendar before sending a message.
  
  We are an English couple (Hollie & Tomas) who have fallen in love with Costa Rica and decided we wanted our own slice of paradise in the land of Pura Vida. We love the healthy living and eco-conscious environment that Costa Rica promotes. Our casa sits in a remote, rural location on 2 acres of land at the top of a hill over-looking the Golfo Dulce and Pacific Ocean. We have a lovely garden in the Costa Rican countryside and a swimming pool for the hot days. Wildlife is abundant here and Monkeys, Toucans, Sloths and Hummingbirds are regular visitors to our trees and flowers. This remote jungle location is a beautiful place to escape & reconnect.
  
  WiFi can be limited so we always recommend that our volunteers get a local sim card. We do get occasional power cuts so we spend a lot of time reading, gardening and enjoying the natural surroundings. We go to the beach regularly and can be flexible with your working hours so you can come with us! We will always to endeavor to show you the local area on your days off. We have bicycles you can use to get to our local beach so walk (30 mins) Large supermarkets & ATMs are around an hour away by car.
  
  Please note that we have 2 cats, Uvita & Macarela

  Aide

  We are looking for someone who's happy to get their hands dirty with us, with a tranquilo attitude, a positive work ethic and have a spirit of adventure. We are looking for people who appreciate and can live deep in nature, a passion for the environment is very important to us. This is a very quiet area with and not much entertainment so this Workaway is suited to people who enjoy quiet time - early nights and early mornings.
  
  Tasks can include painting, gardening, harvesting or landscaping but as we always have different projects on the go it's important that you are flexible. It gets pretty warm here in the middle of the day so we start around 6.30/7.00 and offer volunteers the choice to split their hours between the morning and afternoon.
  
  You will be living in our house (with your own private room) and we would also need you to us maintain the swimming pool and help keep things clean and tidy. We have bikes you can borrow but be aware we are in a remote, rural location (15 minutes cycle to the nearest shop & nearest beach, half an hour cycle to Playa Zancudo). We also have boogie boards and yoga equipment you can use and i'm sure we can squeeze in a few trips to the beach.
