Description
We have a property in the heart of Santa Teresa beach with few places that we rent in a high season. We love jungle nature, surfing, permaculture..We are a couple from US. We are looking for a friendly English speaking couple to help us with some gardening ,house sitting.. Volunteers won’t be required to do tasks related to our rental business or interacting with our paying guests while we are away. Our spot is only 4 minutes away from great surf and very close to shopping and restaurants. Santa Teresa is a stunning beach town that offers unique local and international cultural exchange that can take many forms from surfing to travelers and artists interactions during meals or farmers markets events. It’s a great place to come and explore!
