  • Description

    Hi, my name is Eliana. I'm a Dutch digital nomad, on a long term travel journey currently based in Costa Rica, looking for spaces where people and planet are cared for. Where creativity, nature and real human connection are part of daily life. That's what draws me, and that's the kind of place where I do my best contributing.
    My background is in the arts, life coaching and hands-on craft. I've been an entrepreneur for many years, volunteered at festivals across the world, and worked with an international community of clients. That mix makes me practical, adaptable and easy to have around. I notice what needs doing and I do it, without being asked.
    I love animals, all of them. I've had dogs and cats most of my life and I'm equally happy with whatever creatures share the space. Gardens, nature, being outdoors. That's where I come alive.
    I work part time remotely as a communication and sales specialist and digital workflow consultant. My whole approach is about freeing people up for real connection and what actually matters. If your project has a social media or digital side, I'm happy to contribute there too.
    For many years I've been a space holder and volunteer in ceremonial and community settings. Ecstatic dance, cacao gatherings, sacred circles. I'm at home there. Personal growth and living from the heart aren't recent discoveries for me, they're just how I live.
    I don't smoke, I don't drink. Yoga, movement, music, deep conversations and long stretches in nature are my rhythm. I'm actively learning Spanish and loving the immersion into local life and culture.
    Honest connection matters to me and I take seriously the idea of leaving places better than I found them.
    Curious, warm and self-sufficient. Social enough to add something to a space, grounded enough not to take anything away from it.

    More details about my language interests
    ¡Hola! / Hello! 👋 I’m a digital nomad & entrepreneur specializing in communication & sales always looking for deep connections, new cultural perspectives, and meaningful exchanges. Nature is my biggest inspiration and where I feel most at home, so I’m always down for an outdoor adventure or a quiet moment in the woods. Right now, I am highly focused on becoming fluent in Spanish and would love to find a language partner to practice with! Beyond language, I love diving into conversations about: * Different cultures and worldviews * Human Design & Spirituality * Personal growth and entrepreneurship If you're looking for a conscious, communicative exchange and want to swap stories (and languages!), let’s connect! 🌿✨

  • What else ...

    Honest conversations, a good laugh, creativity and meaningful connections. That's what makes life rich for me. The kind of person who lights up a room without trying to. Serious about living a life that actually means something, still learning, never taking myself too seriously.
