Living on a Spiritual Farm for 72 Hours

Most of our best travel experiences are when we are immersed in a culture, living with the locals and giving back to communities. These kinds of experiences also happen to cost the least amount of money (like maybe $100 for the week). Recently, our family spent a week living, working and having new experiences at a spiritual retreat centre in the Northern part of Costa Rica. We found this work exchange experience on WorldPackers - and online platform that connects travelers with hosts around the world who are looking to exchange their skills for accommodation. We spent the first half of each day volunteering our time to help out in the garden and taking care of the children. The second half of the day was spent in ceremony, drum making, dancing and eating delicious food. We experienced a sweat lodge for the first time, tried Aztec dancing, sang songs, celebrated a special birthday, learned to make a drum using wood and cow hide and went deep in a sharing circle and cacao ceremony. It was such a wonderful experience for our entire family, including our 3-year old daughter and pup. These are the kind of travel experiences we will remember forever.
