Description
I need someone with expertise in all the intricacies of setting up and running a video/audio podcast.
The offer is for 18 hours of work per week per person in exchange for room, filtered water, WIFI and laundry.
A little bit about Puerto Viejo & our Farm:
Experience what it's like to live as an ex-pat in Puerto Viejo. My family owns a one-acre farm in the lush tropical rainforest only 1km from the gorgeous Caribbean Ocean. Puerto Viejo is a funky little community with an eclectic mix of Costa Ricans, Jamaicans, and ex-pats from all over the world. My husband and I retired early, bought this land, built 2 homes, planted hundreds of trees, set up a rain catchment system, and settled ourselves deeply into the community.
The beaches here are stunningly raw, you can explore cove after cove, sometimes being the only person around. Most people get around on bikes where you can get to shopping, yoga, surfing, and dozens of restaurants easily. There are plenty of extracurricular activities to get involved in, opportunities to explore breathwork, ecstatic dance, Cacao Ceremonies, and much more. It truly is a lovely community where making friends and getting plugged in is easy.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will learn what it's like to live in an eclectic town with people from all over the world. We truly get along, enjoy each other and work together. It's a special place.
Opportunities to surf, learn Spanish, and participate in yoga and other healing modalities abound here.
There are opportunities to get involved with the indigenous Bri Bri tribe, learn Spanish, and learn about the amazing process of growing cacao and making it into chocolate.

You will stay in a room in our large 3 bedroom 2 bath home. You will have full access to a large kitchen and screened-in living room space. The room is light and bright and secure.
For grocery shopping, there's a fruit & vegetable truck that passes by daily where you can buy your fresh produce, or you can take a 20-minute walk to the grocery store 1.5 km away.
What else ...
There are plenty of activities going on around town to get involved in, Yoga, beach volleyball, etc.
It's very easy to get around, you can walk, rent bikes, hire a tuk-tuk, use the public bus system, or hitchhike.
Again, there is so much to get involved in!
