My name is Alexia Lara. We are a small Costa Rican family of 3 members that converted our house in Dominical into a 9-room place to rent as a hostel initially, however, due to the pandemic we were forced to close the doors a month after opening to the public. To what we feel calm and positive to continue.
Now we make the decision to rent these rooms per month at good prices and thus give us the opportunity to help each other.
As for volunteering, we offer accommodation, public services.
We would like to provide with food also, but for the tough time, it is not possible for us, so we will be more that happy and greatful with 15hrs per week. However, we love to share and cook for everybody at home everythime we can :)

Moving to the beach would definitely help enrich the knowledge and experience about the culture of the coast, the food, the activities of the locals and visitors, and learn the language with the new friends you meet.
Hi, looking for Workawayers interested in moving to the beach and exchange accommodation, public services and super high speed internet connection for helping us in some hrs a day in long-term rental rooms, in Dominical beach, CR. We are looking for the partners that can help in some cleaning (in personal I´m always there to clean with the person, since we are not looking for someone to do our job, we are looking for friends how would like to be part of the team and the family, and would like to do the traded), a male that please has experience in maintenance, the place is small and it is not hard at lot, we have done the toughest 🙂, but for you and me is good to keep it radiant, as a team we are always there. Also looking for garding, painting, arts, and an English professor for a project with the youngs in town. We are open for people responsable, organized, and with own initiative. We offer a good family atmosphere, private, quiet and just 25 meters from the beach and surrounded by the Baru river. Beautiful place, ideal for those who want to explore this area of the country. The time would be indefinite at the convenience of the person, volunteers can aslo do work outside the site and earn their own income, we can accomodate with it. The room for the volunteers has a bunk bed with individual ortopedic mattresses, wall fans and closeth.
The idea is to be able to help each other as the situation is still very weak and the area is beginning to be restored little by little. We love to cook and share new things..
