What a great way to travel, trade work for a place to stay and delicious food on your plate. That it would work out this well, I didn’t expect. But I can say it was love at first sight when I read the workaway advertisement. A Belgium couple, palmtrees in the background, close to my favourite beaches of Tayrona park and Palomino and a nice challenge for me to work on.

Kobe and Nele asked me to created a new website and work on the translation of texts from Dutch to English and the promotion of the hostel online. After a day of getting to know the property and a day of research, we starting working on the new website. The choice for WordPress was a quick one. easy to maintain, good and clean design option and with more options for the future when there will be a bigger budget for online communication.
Every morning and evening I sit with my laptop at a wooden table in the restaurant while a breeze makes the early heath pleasantly fresh. In the afternoons, we go to one of the swimming spots, hang in the swimming pool with our books held dry above the water, or visit the cocoa farm nearby. If I could take this life and the great people of Carpe Diem with me in a box to Amsterdam, I would. But then again, they are better off here for you and me to visit. On there little piece of paradise near Santa Marta.

A quaint 28m2 room with airconditioning, 3 comfortable high qulaity beds/mattresses and private bathroom. Located just to the side of the main courtyard, it is close to both the pool and the restaurant yet far enough away that noise is not an issue. Some nice furniture within the room and a private terrace outside.
