Meet our current volunteers:
Ramon’s nickname is Moncho! He is from the great state of Texas! He arrived at R2B in the beginning of January. Moncho plays guitar, ukulele and trumpet. He first came to Room2Board on the World Race and couldn’t wait to get back. When he is not surfing you might find him shredding at the skate park.
Frede is from Montreal, CA. Her native language is French. She loves the Room2Board tank tops and has one in every color. Favorite food is the burrito from the Taco Joint. She runs up Miro Mountain daily and play Sims during the night. She arrived at Room2Board in August and leaves in early November. Frede hopes to come back this winter to Jaco and work. She is back now and working as a bar tender at R2B.
Matt is from Maryland, USA but says Maine is his real home! He is currently the solo male in the dorm room until Lorenzo shows up next week! Yes, he is loving life. He led a bike trip across the US with 12 teenagers. We think he is well suited for the volunteer job!! His favorite thing to do is surf, eat and bike. Favorite food is sushi from Arigatos. Not a big night life person, because he wants to be on the ocean bright and early! (We are not sure we believe that!)
Tiki is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
