  Description

  Hello!!
  
  My name is Chrystal, and I just purchased a home in the Mountains ( just above the Beach) of beautiful Costa Rica!! I'm an American that's been traveling abroad for the past couple of years (how I learned of this wonderful program!) I love hosting people getting to know new people, I love sharing stories. I am a yoga teacher, have taught many multiple modes of fitness, and I love being active! I also write, and host women's retreats ( yoga & personal development) and am always finding something new to experience! I play the Piano as well (waiting for it to arrive) love all forms of music!! If you have an instrument you want to bring and share, sit by a fire at night please feel free too!
  I also love preparing great healthy delicious meals, and solitude. Being in Nature. Hiking, trying new things everyday. Somedays it may just be a few more words of Spanish ( any help there is useful as well) but I still learned something new. I do yoga and fitness everyday, I enjoy being healthy, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Work on it daily. Its built into my routine.
  
  
  If you are willing to do whatever may need to be done in the day, a high vibin' person, and this sounds like a good match energetically, please reach out!!

  Help

  I need help just deep cleaning everything, fixing the place up. daily cleaning tasks etc. I've got a couple of rooms left to paint, and the rest will be planting trees and shrubs when the rainy season starts, If someone is artistic maybe sees something to do- mosaics, murals, oil painting canvases etc. Basic yard maintenance, weeding. I want to put in a garden, and terrace the hillside, build a greenhouse for veggies. ( knowledge in this field is most welcome) Some handyman tasks allover. Also knowledge building an infrared sauna, and recirculating ice bath. Alot of daily cleaning maintance etc...
  
  Even web design can be used/ videographers/ photographers/ social media management (for my women's retreats)
  I can host multiples, and can just flow with whoever the universe sends! Someone that can make themselves useful and is willing to switch be versatile in tasks is most appreciated.

  Accommodation

  Private room and bathroom. You can use the swimming pool whenever you wish. The private room is on its own so you can retreat there for solace or anywhere else on the property. I love to cook (mainly plant based meals) If you enjoy healthy clean organic plant based food, this is a great fit, but can accomodate other diets. If you dont like eating healthier than maybe this isnt the best fit for you. You can help prepare the meals and we can share them together, If your'e busy on some other task Ive put you on, then I'll prepare it, but I love help preparing meals and sharing in them together, creating and trying new recipes! Help with clean up is greatly appreciated.

  What else ...

  There are trails all around and waterfalls. Jaco beach is about 20 minutes away, I can sometimes give a lift down, but you can easily hitch a ride with locals (safe) . Otherwise you'll need a taxi ($25) This is a big ATV area, there are 2 restaurants in walking distance, tarzan swings and such. Close to National Parks and reserves. Beautiful ocean views and lots of nature and birds!! Not a party scene, with active night life at all, but beautiful stars and birds! So if looking for a nightly social scene, this isn't your place.
