Descrição
My name is Manuel and I'm from Italy. I have two children, two dogs and a cat. I've been living in Cocles for the last 15 years and I work as a contractor in the Caribe Sur.
My passion is construction work, that's why I've built two Jungle lofts and still have two more projects to work on; my own house and another loft. My properties are located in the Jungle, so you can see sloths, monkeys, coatis and many more animals around here and even the beach is very close to where I live. I tried to finish the work by myself but there are many things that have to be finished and I urgently need help.
Personal skills:
- at least 25 years old
- an outgoing person
- communicative
- eager to work
- pet-loving
- spontaneous
- able to work in a team
Please send an application at least seven days before your arrival.
I'm looking forward to work with you and realizing my hostel project on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica.
Pura vida,
Manu

Such a great experience! We learned a lot about mosaics and it was so rewarding to see the job done, from design all the way to glued and grouted in place. Manu is a great guy, relaxed, helpful and funny :) The place for volunteers is quite basic, but has all you need and it's 5 minutes away from the beach. We'll miss the place!
