Meet Ian our newest volunteer in Costa Rica at Room2Board.  We have a great volunteer and internship program here.  Our volunteers work 24 hours/week in exchange for a bed in the 6 person staff dorm.  Plus they get free breakfast and 50% off additional meals.  And the best part is they can use the surf boards and surf the other 144 hours of the week!!!  If you are interested in learning more about it contact us.
