  Description

  Hello
  I'm Laura, I live in a beautiful place called Costa Esmeralda. I'm running a small beach house, cabin and camping vacation rental business, I'd love to share my simple lifestyle with people from all over the world and show a little bit of what it's like to live in a traditional Mexican beach area surrounded by nature. The team is always approachable, cheerful and we love to have any kind of cultural exchange.
  
  Our place is lovely and calm, but since it’s right in front of the beach, it requires a lot of constant maintenance and help. We’re looking for Workawayers who are willing to lend a hand, share their way of life, and enjoy the place.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you want to discover an authentic part of Mexico, this place is for you.
  
  Costa Esmeralda is not a big turistic area so the traditions and cultures are still very authentic.
  Staying here, you will meet and live with a lot of local people happy to show you their ways to leave and their costumes, you will try the delicious and very varied local food and you will learn many local words that you won't find anywhere else in Mexico.
  
  Also, you can visit places around that have a lot of history behind and of course, the amazing nature and wild life of the state of Veracruz.
  
  We will provide you an always different homemade meal per day so you can taste many different flavours of the delicious mexican kitchen.
