  Description

  *Updated profile since welcoming our son into the world… we are primarily looking for a family with young child(ren) who want to experience jungle living and collaborate on farm projects as well as raising kids consciously*
  
  Preference is for a family who have a camper — we have basic bodega accommodation but it only sleeps a single/couple. We would also like to keep this space free for communal use or another volunteer. All facilities of our home will be available (shower, toilet, kitchen, laundry).
  
  ***
  
  After leaving my job as a lawyer in London during the pandemic, I now spend part of the year in Costa Rica on my farm where the long term vision is to create a community.
  
  My husband and I finished building our home last year, and now have a 5mo baby. We had a wonderful Workaway volunteer prior to birth and early postpartum, and now that we are more settled in this new chapter, want to open our doors again to collaborators and start building community. We live on a 4ha jungle property, with creek and waterfall: it is a peaceful refuge away from hustle and bustle, with a very rural feeling, although only a 30min drive to the beach and near to popular tourist towns.
  
  I am passionate about holistic health and wellbeing, after suffering and recovering from chronic health issues in my twenties. I am in the early stages of growing a medicinal plant & herb garden, and have studied indigenous jungle medicine. I love wandering the forest, foraging for edible plants, and I love sharing my knowledge of holistic healing modalities as well as the healing power of good nutrition - 'food as medicine'.
  
  I also love music and the arts - my husband and I are musicians, I am a writer, and living on these lands in the wild jungle provide much inspiration for my creative work!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  My husband and I are musicians and we love to collaborate artistically with others!
  
  I love sharing my knowledge of local jungle medicines, food and nutrition as 'medicine', and holistic healing.
  
  I've had a diverse range of life experiences - from life as a lawyer in London, to moving to the Costa Rican wilderness (where I've lived for most of the last 4 years - so I can give you a good insight into this country). I grew up in Australia, studied in England & France, and also spend time in Canada where my husband was raised. I love to share my experiences in life and learn from others.

  Additional facilities: we have a 5mx5m outdoor communal deck space for yoga/meditation etc, and lots of outdoor jungle to roam. The deck is near to our house, a small wood cabin, which is up the hill from the bodega. Guests have access to the shower and kitchen in our home.

  We have a large property with jungle, creek, and private waterfall. During time off it's a lovely land to explore!
  
  We are also not far from bus routes taking you to local beaches (bus stop is 10min drive down dirt road/40 min walk) Hitchhiking is common and safe around here. We are happy to share rides when we go out to make getting around easier for you.
