Description
I am the owner of a lodge/farm/finca in the middle of the Nicaraguan jungle that's also close by the beach - about 20 minutes drive south of San Juan Del Sur town. I'm American and have grown up most of my life in the US, but have lived in East Africa and Asia while visiting over 50 countries already. I'm a surfer and love living in Nicaragua while getting my place up to speed in terms of making it look nice and welcoming for others. We are surrounded by beautiful trees and plants, we have our own small permaculture garden, we have a nice little community, and there are incredible beaches nearby.

We also live mins away from a couple beaches that uncrowded and have great surf.
Help
We'd love to have someone help out around our beautiful lodge in the jungle. Some basic tasks may include painting, vanishing, and cleaning. and gardening. More specific tasks may include creative painting, creative building of furniture or artistic pieces using natural material, planting bigger fruit trees, and maintaining a permaculture swale. We'd also love someone if they have social media and advertising skills if possible!

My time in the eco-lodge has been an anti-stress week. One week there and I'm pretty sure I am more relaxed than the guest.
The jungle, chill, relax environment has a lot to do with it AND Nick is absolutely the most easy going guy.
