I would like to express my sincere gratitude for Livia's exceptional work as a volunteer at our festival. She proved to be extremely proactive, responsible, and organized. Furthermore, her positive attitude and constant smile were a fantastic asset, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Livia's reliability and her constant willingness to help were essential to the success of our event. She was always present, ready for any task, and proved to be a key player on our team. I highly recommend her as a volunteer.

My experience at the host was incredible! I helped at the info point and had the chance to connect with local people, learn more about permaculture, and be surrounded by nature alongside volunteers from all over the world. The food was amazing, and Fred and Luisa are such lovely and friendly people — always attentive and doing their best to help. Thank you so much for the opportunity to live this experience. I truly hope to see you again next year! Big hugs 💙

I had a beautiful experience with Chiara and Bitto family! ❤️ I spent only few days and I helped with the cleaning, as a cooking hand and a bit of with gardening. During the summer time could be too hot so the shift could change a bit, so it's important to be flexible and open for the experience. They have nice tent but it was occupied so I stayed in the house. They have cuties dogs and cats, it was a pleasure to meeting you, hope to come back soon. :) grazie mille per tutti!

To have Livia around is a joy and big fortune for everyone in her company! She has a positive aura and has a heart of gold, is open-minded, optimistic, funny, but also very disciplined about her job. I am sure that she is a big value to every volunteer opportunity that she joins.

About me as an author

O Mundo e Minhas Voltas

A Brazilian solo traveler who set out to find herself while exploring the world. To me, travel means learning about myself - my abilities, preconceptions, my strengths, but above all I believe that travel is about touching people's lives and letting people touch ours. I love learning about new cultures and hearing life stories along the way. Traveling makes me feel alive! :) My travel Instagram: @omundoeminhasvoltas

Background

Travel experience

I started traveling at the end of 2009, when I went to London to study English for 3 months. After that, I went to South Africa in 2014 for 40 days to study English as well during my holidays. In 2016, I embarked on a backpacking trip through Europe for 47 days, staying exclusively in hostels and passing through 10 countries and 17 cities.

However, it wasn't until October 2020 that I packed up my old life in Brazil and bought a one-way ticket to England to do my first volunteer work in Oxford. Since then, I've been to many places, experiencing amazing adventures. :) My greatest desire is to travel the world while volunteering and forming special connections with people along the way. Traveling makes me feel alive, and now I'm back in Brazil to explore more of the natural beauty of our country. 💙
