I spent two amazing weeks with Christ. She is very lovely and welcoming! The tasks are pretty easy and Christ is very flexible about the work and time. As she just moved, we didn't actually did much about permaculture but we helped her with the volunteer's house decoration, build the fence, helped her during the architectural class, and we also had the opportunity to work at her mom's farm. Everything was very nice and interesting. Thank you so much Christ for the time you shared with us, take care ✨️

Christ is an incredible and VERY kind host. The work was very easy, and often fun. And is flexible if you have anything you're committed to. I learned so much in the 10 days I was there! But I will say from an honest point, that not everything that was advertised was immediately available or accessible. And thats mainly due to it not having been updated as she recently moved into a new house. So if there's something specific you're wanting from the experience like dance classes or something, I would ask Christ ahead of time to see if she can make arrangements for it :)

I was volunteering for a week on my own at FCR, I will forever value the time I got to spend with Christ. She is an amazing person who you can learn a lot from, assisting her with her design project in the city and then spending lots of time in nature was the perfect balance for me. Her pets are so sweet, I miss her two dogs Frida and Picasso !

This was my first Worldpackers experience as well as my first time traveling alone outside of my home country, and I could not of asked for a batter experience. Kris, the host, is such a joyful, kind, smart women and was amazing with helping me with transportation and any questions/concerns that I had, and the food was delicious. She taught me a lot about Costa Rica, and helped me improve my Spanish. I learned so much with this experience, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves nature and animals.

During this experience, I was able to learn a lot and take a break from the constant movement of the contemporary world. Although I did not stay as long as I would have hoped to, I would have liked to participate more in giving back to the community such as teaching English. Nevertheless, I learned a lot and it was so rejuvenizing being able to connect with nature

What can I say, I was hanging out with iguanas and monkeys by the creek. Christ is an absolute beast. This was my first ever and while I have much to say. Im incapable at this time to provide unbiased analysis in any simple format. The host is an amazing person. However, the season along with her schedule cannot be properly described. I would suggest this host to anyone.

Christ was wonderful and very invested in helping her community build sustainable practices from building design and materials to recycling. She was very helpful in navigating buses and travel to/from her place. We didn't get to do all of the volunteer activities I hoped for, but what we did work on was worthwhile. One thing to know is that the town doesn't have a lot to do, so be comfy entertaining yourself or having simple nights with occasional tours or events sprinkled in.

I had a great experience at FCR Learning!! We did different tasks and were able to get to know the town. The people were so nice and it was a peaceful place. Also the food was very good and Christ was very kind. She taught us a lot about her project and many things about Costa Rica which is beautiful. I recommend the experience!

Christ is a great host who is super sweet! She was very accommodating to my digital nomad schedule. She showed me so many new plants which was very rewarding for me. I mainly helped out in her garden, but there are many different tasks you could do. I'm excited to see how this project grows. Pro tip, shower during the hottest part of the day (the water is COLD).

My stay at the community was a great experience to discover the nature of Costa Rica. Christ is really careful, wants to help around her, but maybe it would be even greater if we have more link with her ! (A little shame that we don't eat with her for exemple for the meals…) But when you get to know her, she's so interesting !! About the tasks, it's really not that difficult, maybe the worst is the warm when you work outside, but very nice to know more about permaculture. I stayed for 2 weeks, and was happy to have others volunteers with me, maybe if you are alone it would be a bit more long

Hi! Coline I have to change about eat with the volunteers because I have a different diet for help reason and also I have my schedule for teach on line is hard for me to keep the diet eating with a group because I love eat. Thanls a lots for your help the complete desing is a big process and every part ia great advance, the permaculture start with circular economy for buy materials and the work for the desinf of the FCRStore willbe a huge step, I have a video with that part finished, also with permaculture we needed to prepare the plants for the big mandala will be like 1000 plants 10 difrentes tipes and you helpme with the firts. 2 weeks is few time to see a proces in advance we need normally 6 months in landscaping to see the diference I hope every body can comeback later and see the other part. In permaculture we need patient because the desing is with plants and they need time to grow up, for that reasosn like architect I create like 5 diferent progets in 1 weeks in 6 months I will have 6 diferents projects working while another plants start to grow up. This is the life in the farm I enjoyed spent time with you at least the the time during the projects.
