Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers will benefit from the exchange by engaging with the rich bio-diversity on the property, including our beautiful reef, ocean toys, and 55 acres of jungle! They will enjoy the calm, inclusive environment we've created and leave feeling as though they have extended their family, by making new friends with our guests from all over the world. Workawayers will also gain experience in a unique niche market of the tourist industry.
Help
We are looking for, ideally a couple, to come from April 10 - June 20th to help with the following:
HOSTING
-Greet and show guests around the property when they arrive
-Organize tours, activities, and boat trips
-Accompany guests on short walks around the property and jungle
-Communicate the dietary needs of our guests to our Spanish-speaking cooking team
-Generally be available to chat up our guests, address issues, and communicate any issues to owners
*Note that we usually have no more than 6-8 guests per day during these months, so this is not a very demanding hosting job. Most guests are seasoned adventure travelers and self-sufficient.
COOKING
-Cooking family meals.
CONSTRUCTION (maybe)
-We have a bunch of interesting and unusual wood construction projects this Spring, so we'd love to find a fun role for you in the building team if skills and interests align.
