    Description

    Greetings from Costa Rica.

    We are looking for a graphic designer/photographer.

    We are a French family: myself, Anne, my husband Philippe, and my son Auxence.

    We have acquired a magnificent 86-hectare finca in Costa Rica, surrounded by nature, secluded and elevated. It's a magical place, comprised of meadows, forests, and a river. We are not near the ocean.

    We have built three traditional wooden lodges there. We welcome nature-loving travelers to our bed and breakfast. Here, you can hike, observe monkeys (capuchin and howler), coatis, butterflies, and numerous birds. It's a place where you can enjoy an incredible view of the Gulf of Nicoya and the mountains.
    We have six horses, two dogs, and no neighbors. We use our own spring water and are self-sufficient in terms of electricity thanks to solar panels. We have also established an organic vegetable garden and an orchard of 300 fruit trees. We have planted nearly 1,000 ornamental plants. We are currently renovating the sugar mill and have already planted the sugarcane. We are committed (very committed, in fact) to environmental protection and are doing our utmost to preserve this place. We love this land.

    It's a rustic place that requires a good level of physical fitness.

    We are looking for an independent person to help us create a presentation sheet for my future medicinal plant workshop, as well as a video about Fina.

    Bonjour du Costa Rica.
    Nous recherchons un graphiste photographe.

    Nous sommes une famille française : Moi, Anne, mon mari Philippe, et Auxence mon fils.
    Nous avons acquis au Costa Rica une magnifique finca de 86 hectares, en pleine nature, isolée et en hauteur. C'est un lieu magique, composé de près, de forêts avec rivière. Nous ne sommes pas proche de l'océan.
    Nous y avons construit 3 lodges en bois en manière traditionnelle. Nous y accueillons des voyageurs amoureux de la nature, en chambres d'hôtes. Ici, on peut randonner, observer singes ( capucins et hurleurs), coatis, papillons, de nombreux oiseaux. C'est un lieu où on bénéficie d'une vue incroyable sur le golfe de Nicoya et sur les montagnes.
    Nous avons 6 chevaux, 2 chiens et aucun voisins ....
    Nous utilisons notre eau de source, sommes autonomes au niveau électrique avec les panneaux solaires. Nous avons aussi mis en place un potager biologique, un verger de 300 fruitiers. Nous avons planté quasiment 1 milliers de plantes décoratives. Nous sommes en train de rénover le moulin à canne à sucre et avons déjà planté la canne à sucre. Nous sommes engagés (voir très engagés) dans la protection de l''environnement, et faisons notre maximum pour préserver ce lieu. Nous sommes des amoureux de cette terre.
    C'est un lieu rustique, qui demande une bonne condition physique.
    Nous recherchons une personne autonome, qui nous aide à creer une fiche de présentation de mon futur atelier de plantes medecinales. Ainsi qu'une video de la Fina.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here, it is a traditional, agricultural and not very touristy atmosphere. The village we live in is a typical village on the Nicoya Peninsula. Very agricultural, with the work of horses and cows. The traveler will thus be able to discover the traditions of Costa Rica, in total immersion. He will also be able to immerse himself in the local fauna and flora, since we are surrounded by dry tropical vegetation, quite rare in the world. Ideal for those studying botany or those who are photographers. We speak French, Spanish, English. We eat locally, and live to the rhythm of the sun.

Très agricole, avec le travail des chevaux et des vaches. Le voyageur pourra ainsi découvrir les traditions du Costa Rica, en immersion totale. Il pourra aussi s'imprégner de la faune et flore locale, puisque nous sommes entourés de végétation de type tropical sec, assez rare dans le monde. Idéal pour ceux qui étudient la botanique ou ceux qui sont photographes. Nous parlons français, espagnol, anglais. Nous mangeons local, et vivons au rythme du soleil. Vous allez découvrir une flore étonnante.

    Accommodation

    One room in the house of Auxence, my 19-year-old son, located at the bottom of the Finca, near the entrance. It's a small, traditional wooden house. You'll have your own room with new bedding, a shower (no hot water, as it's already quite warm...!!), and a kitchen. Meals will be prepared with Auxence. So, you'll be provided with food and accommodation.

    =============

    1 chambre dans la maison d'Auxence, mon fils de 19 ans, en bas de la Finca, vers l'entrée. C'est une petite maison traditionnelle en bois. Vous aurez votre propre chambre avec une literie neuve, une douche (sans eau chaude, car il fait déjà assez chaud ...!!), cuisine. Les repas seront préparés avec Auxence. Vous êtes donc nourris et logé.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Here, it's not very touristy, but ultra traditional. So, in the village, you will often see cows and horses roaming free. There are the Venado Islands, or without Lucas to visit. But honestly there is little transport. This will be organized according to your needs. We ourselves work in the morning. The afternoons are more relaxed. In general, here, it is really the observation of nature that takes precedence.

Il y a les îles Venado, ou sans Lucas à visiter, ainsi que la réserve Karen Mogensen. Mais sincèrement il y a peu de transport. Ce sera à organiser en fonction de vos besoins. Nous sommes proches du ferry playa Najanjo (10mn en voiture), 17kms de Jicaral, 2h de Samara, 2h de Montezuma.
    Nous travaillons le matin. Les après midi sont plus relax. En général, ici, c'est vraiment l'observation de la nature qui prime.
