  Description

  About the place and the project
  
  Our hostel is located in one of the most exclusive areas of Ometepe, very close to the island’s main tourist attractions. Like much of Central America, we have two seasons: high and low. Right now, tourism is quiet, which gives us time to reorganize and prepare for the high season starting in December.
  
  Currently, we occasionally have 3 local workers helping us, who also dedicate time to agricultural work in the area.
  
  About me as a host
  
  My name is Jafeth, I’m from Costa Rica, and I’ve been managing the hostel for two months. It’s been a big challenge, but also a very rewarding experience. I’m open, enjoy teamwork, and value proactivity.
  
  What we share
  
  Beyond daily tasks, I aim to share experiences, ideas, and a lifestyle more connected to nature. We have a space full of natural resources and raw materials for sustainable projects, plus a garden where we grow some of our own food, available for responsible use by everyone.
  
  In their free time, volunteers can explore the island; I’ll provide plenty of recommendations to help them enjoy their stay and even get discounts in some places. This season is calm, perfect for connecting with nature and oneself.
  
  Accommodation and meals
  
  Currently, I do not provide three meals a day, but we have a fully equipped kitchen, an oven for baking bread, and fresh fruits and vegetables that volunteers can use freely. Each volunteer prepares their own meals, but everything needed to eat well is available.
  
  Volunteering tasks
  
  Volunteers are not required to help prepare meals for guests, only for themselves. The idea is for them to feel part of the team and family, to learn from each other, and to have an authentic experience in Ometepe.
  
  Thank you so much!!!!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In exchange for your help, we offer shared dorm accommodations and the opportunity to participate in free tours as a local guide. We also like to share: sometimes we cook and eat together, other times we celebrate with a party or just enjoy time together. Here, good vibes and sharing are part of the experience.
