    Hey there and welcome to our Workaway profile!

    I'm Marco , and I'm thrilled to be hosting this exciting project. I live in Alajuela, Costa Rica, with my family. There's my dad, Manuel Alvarado, my mom, Marlene García, my brother Manuel, and my partner, Ariana Morales, who's also part of our team.

    I've got a real passion for learning about different cultures and exploring new places and countries. That's why we've set up this project – to host English-speaking travelers, improve our English skills, and enjoy some fantastic cultural exchanges.

    We're absolutely stoked to have the chance to welcome Workaway volunteers and dive into this adventure together.

    As for me, I'm all in when it comes to making this experience enriching for everyone involved.

    Our family is the heart of this project, and we can't wait to connect with folks from all over the globe and soak up their diverse cultures and experiences.

    We're on the lookout for volunteers who are keen to help out with English practice and dive into some cultural exchanges. In return, we'll provide a cozy stay in Costa Rica and meals to keep you fueled up.

    Looking forward to meeting you soon and sharing in this amazing journey!

    Feel free to reach out if you've got any questions or want to learn more about what we're up to.
