We are at home in Switzerland, preparing our planned trip to Costa Rica.
Descripción
Hello! We are Andrea & Simon, a couple in our mid 30's, staying in Costa Rica between Octobre and March, together with our two kids (Béla 3y and Arno 6y).
We are currently working as a teacher for refugees / solar engineer. We love what we do and bring a broad range of skills and experience. We love to cook with sustainable produce and are used to prepare meals for large groups. We have experience in gardening (we co-share a garden where we live), bee keeping, farm work, and construction, such as building a library in Burkina Faso (Andrea was there in 2008) or renovating an offshore sail boat (on which we have spent many summers, in the mediterranean, the northern and baltic sea).
Simon is a former journalist and skilled in communications (social media, photography, text editing).
We value community and live in close connection with mother nature. We hope to have experiences that allow us to make a contribution, to learn and bring us inspiration that we can carry with us and pass on.

Que habilidades tienes?
Andrea: I’m an enthusiastic primary school teacher with a passion for nurturing young minds and cultivating positive change. I am working at a school for refugee children. Teaching for me means enabling and holding space, so children can discover their endless creativity, potential and build trust in themselves. Beyond my day to day job, I’m always eager to learn and get my hands dirty. I bring broad work experiences, whether it’s gardening, helping build a library in Burkina Faso, or working on an organic farm. Cooking is one of my passions, and I thrive on discovering new things.

Simon: I used to work as a investigative journalist, lately taking some time off to work in the solar industry. I currently spend most of my days on roofs, installing solar plants and I love it! In the past I’ve helped restore a sailing boat, planted trees in reforestation projects, and worked on Swiss mountain farms. Also, I have a lot of experience in communications (photography, video editing, website management, social media). And I am keeping a few bees in our garden.

Both of us are pursuing a sustainable way of living. We support local food systems (Simon co-founded a local food network), try to minimize our ecological footprint and believe that change is possible.
We consider ourselves fast learners and open-minded. During our youth, we extensively travelled across Asia, Africa, and Europe, where we learned to adapt to diverse customs and habits.
