Description
Currently looking for:
- yoga teachers
- WordPress/ Elementor help! (send examples)
- photography/ social media (maybe! we want to have a cohesive style, so if that style fits yours, could be nice!)
- anyone wanting to live in community in the jungle by the sea :)
We are an eco-lodge in the jungle by the sea in beautiful bocas del toro, panama. Just a 10-15 minute taxi ride outside of the main town on isla colon, our neighborhood is called Paunch Beach. Our place is a little jungle treehouse accommodation (8 tree houses, and a "surf shack" with 9 individual rooms, where you would stay), offering daily yoga, an ocean view pool, and a breakfast cafe. We have a view of the sea from here above the clouds, and are walking distance to the (intermediate/ advanced) waves at paunch & tiger tail (NOTE: our neighborhood waves are reef breaks and are only recommended for intermediate / advanced surfers. The season is December-April and July- August).

I was a work-awayer traveling the world for 3 years. I came to Workaway here in 2018 and told the onwner that one day I wanted to build something like this, and he said maybe one day you'll buy this ... and the rest was history.
Since I traveled the world as a workawayer for over 3 years, it's always been super important to me to keep this community vibe alive in this project and to offer positions for work exchange in addition to paid local staff. Having a place to call Home for a bit as a traveler is such a special thing - to be able to slow down and truly experience a culture and a place, and work along side the people - it's the best way to travel!
To me, this is a "family run business" and our volunteer and local paid staff are our little familia here in the jungle by the sea.
We hope you can come visit us and be able to call this little slice of the jungle Home as well :)
NOTE: we have a paid staff, in addition to our volunteer crew of 3-4 residents who are here to teach yoga, help out around the house, and act as hosts for our guestsTypes d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Island Life in the carribean is a special thing to experience. Our place is in paunch beach and accessible to lots of other islands - so you will meet local people, explore the area, practice spanish, and learn about caribbean life in the paradise.
I also have a friend who lives nearby that I can connect you with for spanish lessons, in case you want to deepen your spanish so you can further immerse in the culture! Also encouraged to try and use the spanish skills you already have to chat with our staff in their language. Siempre como familia :)Aide
We have a big beautiful familia here running things and making magic happen :) Shifts are normally in the morning, 8a-12pm, with our morning shift.

Hébergement
You will have a private room, and access to shared kitchen space (please know that it is important to help keep our shared spaces clean! It's communal living, so no one is here to clean up after you).
NOTE: There is wifi in the main lodge/ hangout area, but not in your room.
Also NOTE: bocas is affordable, but not the cheapest. It's cheaper than costa rica, but more expensive than Mexico. If you're looking to stretch a super tight budget, it might not be the best fit for you at the moment. Costs would include: taxi to town ($3-$4 each way, per person, OR buying a bike / then reselling it, and groceries can range depending on how simple you want to be. Fruit and veg here are affordable and good, but the grocery stores are all owned by the chinese and the prices can be a little bit sketchy sometimes).Autres infos...
The lodge is an amazing quiet, jungle by the sea location here on the main island in Bocas Del Toro - we are a 10-15 minute taxi ($3-$4 each way) from town, which makes it feel secluded but accessible. You could easily buy a bike (and resell it when you leave) for about $100 or less. Walking distance is several beach bars & restaurants (but no grocery stores outside of town).

Super nice people! Located in the middle of the jungle, but still right in front of the beach with a lot of good surfing spots! Had a great time with all the other volunteers and Lilly of course (the owner) who always helped me out when having a problem or needed soemone to talk to :)
I really enjoyed my stay!… read more

I honestly didn't really have space for them or (**know**) that I "needed" them, but when I saw their profile on workaway I just knew that they were a good fit, so I invited them into our familia. And, honestly, I don't know what I would have done without them. When they were here, I knew… read more
