This smiley soul is Laurie, a French Canadian woman who moved to Costa Rica years ago and became one of our dear friends. Here she found her love for surfing, speaking Spanish, and being connected to nature. She describes herself as a mermaid who loves to dance, surf, dive, and play. She organizes the Ecstatic Dances in the town of Santa Teresa, something that the town needed oh so badly. A safe space for you to let loose and move your body without judgment, drugs or alcohol. She puts magic in everything she does and is a master of many skills. Laurie, we are honored to have such a badass woman like you to be part of our tribe!
