I had an excellent experience at the organization! I was helping in some projects like Recycling and Casita Caribe (with children), and also I helped to build a Landing Page and to create some contents for their social media. The tasks were really chill and the times were totally respected. The place is nestled in the jungle so it's a really nice experience to live completely surrounded by nature. Beate, Fede, Leo and all staff are super friendly and kind. Thank you so much again and I hope to see you before long!

Finding the organization 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 🙏

Muchas gracias Tip for your support during this time. You were a very calm addition to the team in the bbeginning but I think the progress you've made was notable for everyone. The workshops turned out very nicely thanks to your creativity and kindness with the kids Good luck with everything and hasta pronto 💚

We loved our stay at the organization, a fun place with lots going on, staying a long time is a real benefit so you can enjoy the freedom of taking ownership of projects your working on and getting involved in the community. It takes a week to settle in and find your role but once you are settled you will feel part of the casa caribe family.

Good experience overall. The hostel is stunning and the food is so good. Good environment with the managers and cool vibes with the other volunteers. Pretty far from everything tho (beach and supermarket are like 15 minutes walk)
