However, we often spend parts of the day in the hostel hanging out with our guests. We also take part in the yoga classes we offer and on Thursdays we host potluck style dinners, which we call our "La Casa family dinner nights". We host these once a week to share and spend time with our guests. When we are not in the hostel, you can find us on the beach playing with our dog, Mokha, or, more likely, in the line-up surfing :-) We look forward to meeting you and sharing our beautiful paradise with you!
