Finding Planet Conservation and staying there for 4 weeks was the best unexpected twist of my digital nomad trip. When I happened to read about them, I immediately felt a strong pull and applied a moment later.
After few days, I was already at Casa Caribe, ready for new adventures. I got to do various things and meet many amazing people. I enjoyed being responsible for my own tasks, finding solutions, being creative, offering ideas, and being able to contribute.

The story of the founders, Beate and Fede, is really special, and the location is truly paradise-like :) Muchas gracias 🙏

Maravillosa experiencia, en una comunidad alegre y comprometida con el cuidado del medioambiente, compuesta por personas muy valiosas que me enseñaron mucho y donde me sentí muy acompañada y que mi trabajo fue un aporte.
Se respetan las horas de trabajo, los días libres y se comparte en un buen ambiente. Totalmente recomendable!

Estuve en la casa 2 meses.

Pros: me gustó el proyecto. Sobre todo la limpieza de playa y participar en los colegios.
He conocido a mucha gente y he compartido momentos inolvidables.

Contras: la organización no es su fuerte.
Los managers pueden almorzar y entrar en la cocina pero yo no estaba autorizada.
Incomodidad al escuchar discusiones de pareja.
Eché de menos mejor trato de los managers, sobre todo pq convivía con ellos.
Había pulgas en la habitación y tuve erupciones graves en la piel.
La comida solo hidratos. No proteína para vegetarianos.
Staff sobrecargado.

Gracias x la experiencia!

It was such a good experience to stay and learn so much in this paradise
The team is lovely and it’s calm, in the middle of the jungle, Puerto Viejo is a nice place to stay
I’ve worked in the locals schools and did amazing workshops for the kids about environmental consciousness
I really liked working in team and be free about the content/ how to run a workshop and be creative
Thanks a lot
Pura Vida 🤍
