We’re looking for responsible volunteers to help with basic house chores, cleaning, and caring for our lovely pets 🐾 while enjoying a private room with its own shower.

My experience with Sheila and Ramon was amazing! I immersed myself in the Costa Rican culture, tried so many traditional foods and met incredible places. The tasks that they ask you to do are really simple, quick and easy. Also, you have the rest of the day to do whatever you want. You can't walk to the nearest beach but the buses are a really good idea, they are cheap and very regular throughout the day. The accommodations are pretty nice. I'm so so grateful for everything they've done! Pura Vida and until the next time ;)
