Hi! my name is Alba I´m originally from Spain, but I have spent a few years living in Costa Rica already. A few years ago I quit my previous job in a big company in my homecountry and came to Costa Rica with some savings decided to start a new way of life. Now I live in this beautiful and secluded spot between the mountains which is a 9Ha property farm situated in a valley sorrounded by secondary and primary forest and the beautiful river Jicotea. Here, I´ve started a sustainable permaculture Farm where now I live with my babygirl, my dogs, cat and chickens! I started this project with some workers that have through the years become close friends and still join us in our working hours some days in the week. Beeing sorrounded by their knowledge about country side living, building, gardenning has been one of the main sources of learnning for me and it still is for all of us. Untill now we have been focused in creating our veggie garden, constructing a spring water captation resevoir, a workshop building with a comunal área, common kitchen, and a couple of cabins more where to host volunteers, guests and other colaborators for the project. I live here sharing the space with groups of up to 6 volunteers at the time , that we can receive from Monday to Friday up untill 4pm . All volunteers share and rotate the tasks in an order that we all agree once a week , and are able to choose and agree which projects or tasks are more interested in beeing involved with. At Finca La Quimera the wellbeeing of the group and therefore communication is a priority.
