Description
Pura Vida! We are Eric and Nikita a relatively young couple that met in Amsterdam 8 years ago. From there we started travelling the world together. When we got our daughter, 3-years ago we moved from the mountains in Spain (where we used to run a vegan Eco Lodge) to a small Eco Village in Costa Rica. As we wanted to live closer to like-minded families. And to be in a real nature abundance: which it definitely is! Now we are building domes next to our house which we like to use as a small retreat center. We are nearly done! And are looking for help finishing the DIY kitchen and bathroom. We look for someone handy and creative. We'd love to host another family so our daughter has an extra friend too! Our passions are making music (DJ'ing, Hang drum, sound healing), Ecstatic Dance, yoga, Holistic Health and going to the beach. Oh yes, and travelling! We are excited to welcome to our secluded jungle paradise! Feel free to contact if you have any questions.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have lots of experience in hosting guests as we used to run a Vegan Eco Lodge. So we can share about that. Nikita is a yoga & reiki teacher and holistic coach who loves to share her practises. Eric is a DJ so we will enjoy some music too! We go to Ecstatic Dance every Sunday and we'd love to take you there. After 3-years of living in Costa Rica we know lots about the country and are happy to share our favourite spots as well as tips on living here.

Help
We are looking for someone handy and creative to build a DIY kitchen from concrete and a bathroom from bamboo. We hope to keep it low-budget with the materials available which we already have. It is in a great dome structure so we like to create something creative! Our ideal Workaway is a family with a child so we have an extra friend for our 3-year old.

Accommodation
Our spacious 3-store house had a studio in the basement with your own kitchenette and toilet. This will be your private living space. There is a shared pool (with us) and a big garden. With lots of opportunity for planting and growing food. It is pretty much located in nature with river trails and waterfall with swimming holes nearby. We recommend to have your own 4x4 vehicle if you like to explore.
Food wise we are happy to provide you with the basics to make vegan food. As we are a family eating together all the time can be a bit tricky for us as we always eat when we are hungry. So no set times. But we love to plan some dinners or lunches together too.
What else ...
The area is amazing for nature exploration. We love the river, trails and waterfall nearby. We are relatively close to Ojochal and Uvita beaches (35min on a 4x4 road). We are a conscious family, there is a yoga deck, fire pit and instruments to share and enjoy together.
