Aloha out there :)

We are an organization of friends in the third stage of continuing our Tico Association Project in a really magical nature spot. Our aim is to create a self sufficient place where people can collaborate and enjoy music, nature and learning together. In winter-time we are in co-living mode and during the season we work with guests and need help with the day to day things as well with bringing lovely detail onto the land and keeping building something that is more than just a camp. We are organizing a market once a month.

We are isolated here in nature and it is beautiful, basic living in the heart of nature! It is important that we all live and work together in harmony, the work here is fair and we respect the work/play balance, we want our volunteers to feel at ease here and be happy with us and feel free to explore and share their ideas, if you like our idea then helping us should not feel like much work at all, therefore we ask you to please send us some details about your skills and why you want to help us when sending your message, so we can get to know you a little

We stayed a month in the camp and it was wooonderful :) It felt like a home to us and we really think that we'll return again to see the people, that's the best part of the camp. The installations are amazing (we already miss the shower) and you have a lot of freedom to do the work.
Thank you very very much to all, we'll miss you Esra, Axel,… read more

Fiona is a very easy going person and has a creative character. She helped me with sorting and tidying up the spot, the shopping and cooking, taking care of online activities and assisted me with driving cars.
