The Experience
Hello I'm Laura, I live in a beautiful place called Costa Esmeralda. I'm running a small beach house, cabin and camping vacation rental business, I'd love to share my simple lifestyle with people from all over the world and show a little bit of what it's like to live in a traditional Mexican beach area surrounded by nature. The team is always approachable, cheerful and we love to have any kind of cultural exchange.

Laura was an incredible host and I was welcomed so warmly there. It felt like family. The work was fun and very varied. I loved walking the dogs and the atmosphere was perfect. I was able to gain so many local impressions and explore the beautiful nature and the whole region. I would highly recommend it to everyone and I had a wonderful time there. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.

I can't thank Laura enough for this volunteering experience! This was my first time volunteering and I wouldn't change a thing. Laura is truly one of the kindest people I've met and I felt right at home because of the effort Laura puts in to making you comfortable. The hours are totally fair and Laura ensures you take days off too - whilst giving you plenty of recommendations for the best things to do, also helping to organise these! Laura makes you feel like you're family.

Laura and Ron are such compassionate souls, they treated me with a lot of love like family. Property is right by the beach, basic work duties include caring for the dogs and chores on the property. Every interaction is honest and truthful. Thank you Laura for stitching this bond with me, thank you Laura for creating such a valuable experience for me. Big hugs. 🤗

I had a lot of fun! Waking up every morning to walk the dogs on the beach, cooking, talking to the other volunteers, Laura and the guests, swimming and maintaining the place with simple chores was an amazing way to live for 3 weeks. Laura is amazing and takes care of everything you need. If you're lucky you might even da fun project like when we built the tipi (a small cabin).

This was my first WP trip to volunteer & spend Xmas away from home but Laura made it really positive with her kindness and great hospitality. I got exposed to local culture and language, and also that of other fantastic volunteers I met on this trip. This experience at Laura's made me want to do more volunteering around the world and connect with locals and international travelers. I loved every moment at Laura and will want to come again in the near future. I learnt so much including nurturing the dogs and Laura made it all so easy. She is understanding & has humanity I real felt at home
