🌱 Important Note 🌱
This is a work exchange, not a free holiday accommodation. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys contributing, helping others, and being part of a small hospitality project.
If you are seeking a meaningful experience, enjoy being useful, and appreciate a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature, you will feel at home here. This is not a party house. We value responsibility, kindness, initiative, and people who naturally care for a place as if it were their own home.
The best exchanges happen when everyone brings positive energy, mutual respect, and a willingness to support one another. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
🌴 About Us
Hi, I'm Belle, a young Costa Rican entrepreneur owner of a small guesthouse in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Our mission is to provide responsible and sustainable tourism while creating a warm, welcoming environment for travelers.
My property has 7 cozy guest rooms, a spacious tropical garden filled with fruit and coconut trees, abundant wildlife, and the occasional sloth. We are located just 200 meters from the beach and 300 meters from downtown, offering the perfect balance between jungle tranquility and convenience.
🌿 Who Will Enjoy This Experience
This opportunity is ideal for someone who:
• Loves animals, wildlife, and being surrounded by nature.
• Feels comfortable living in a tropical jungle environment with insects, humidity, and the sounds of nature.
• Appreciates wellness, balance, and a healthy lifestyle without needing to fit into any particular trend or spiritual identity.
• Enjoys creating welcoming experiences for guests and providing excellent customer service.
• Takes pride in cleanliness, organization, and helping maintain a beautiful space.
• Is proactive, observant, and willing to help without needing constant supervision.
• Values authentic connections, simplicity, and community.
This is not the right fit for someone looking primarily for parties, nightlife, or a free stay holiday atmosphere.
💡 Volunteer Tasks
Main Responsibilities:
• Reception and guest assistance
• Deep Cleaning and general upkeep of common areas and guest spaces
Additional Projects:
• Community-space renovation projects (painting, carpentry, decorating, minor repairs)
