Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a British/Costa Rican family, I am from the UK and my husband from Costa Rica. I have a tech recruitment company in the UK and my husband works in construction. We also run our small rental business.
We grow fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants in our garden. You will have the opportunity to learn how to grow and use the medicinal plants and also to share and learn homeschooling tools and activities. We value time in nature and often spend our free time at the beach or the river.
We love to cook healthy organic (mostly plant based) food and try to eat as much from our garden as possible.
There is an incredible community of multicultural, open minded people in this town.
There is also an abundance of wildlife if you are an animal lover!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I am looking for help with cooking, laundry, light cleaning/tidying, some childcare, running errands and some help with the tasks of the rental properties. Depending on your strengths and what you enjoy doing, we can discuss how the hours can be spread.

Accommodation
We have a small bedroom to offer within our home with a single bed, desk, closet and A/C.
Bathroom is shared.
Food will be included, we eat mostly plant based but my husband eats meat so it’s fine to cook meat if you prefer.
What else ...
In your free time there is much to explore! National parks, pristine beaches, waterfalls, jungle trails, nearby bars and restaurants, tours into the Bri Bri indigenous community, chocolate making tours, surf/swim/kayak/SUP/Yoga!
The local bus stops at the end of our road (2 min walk) but biking everywhere is also possible! We have a bike that you can use.
It’s a 15 min easy bike ride into town.
