Description
Hi! I’m Paola, a friendly and curious traveler from Costa Rica! The Pura Vida land
I love getting to know people from different cultures, learning their stories, and contributing to projects that have a positive impact on the environment and local communities.
I have two wonderful kids who are now grown ups, and being their mom has given me a lot of experience caring for others with love, patience, and a good sense of humor. I also adore animals and feel happiest when surrounded by nature and good-hearted people.
I work remotely a few hours a day, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to help, learn, and share positive energy wherever I go. I’m excited to connect, grow, and make a difference together! 🌿💛

More details about your skills
I enjoy helping in many different areas and learning along the way. I’ve worked professionally in teaching and marketing, and I love sharing knowledge in creative ways —whether it’s through languages, dance, or communication.
I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese, and a bit of Japanese, which helps me connect easily with people from different backgrounds. I’m also experienced in childcare and animal care, and as a mom of two grown kids, I bring patience, empathy, and responsibility to everything I do.
I’m comfortable helping with cleaning, gardening, community work, and eco-projects such as beach cleanups, planting trees, or serving food. I consider myself organized, calm, cheerful, and creative, and I enjoy working with others to make a positive difference.

What else ...
In my free time, I love dancing, hiking, traveling, and exploring new places. I also enjoy video games and quiet moments of mindfulness in nature —they help me stay balanced and inspired. I’m always happy to share stories, music, or a good laugh with others!
