Description

I'm coming to Costa Rica in October or November 2025 and I'm looking for a place where I can work from home and enjoy a sense of community. I'm used to living in a group setting and I really enjoy helping out with cooking, cleaning, and more. I now that communication is really important to leave together as well.
I'm an educator in France. I plan to take a break to do a craft, learn about lightweight housing construction, gardening, and permaculture. I love nature and hiking. I'm interested in several projects. I look forward to finding a project in this spirit and, above all, helping you build yours!
