I had a really good time, the host was kind, the work was not to much and doable and the nature and surroundings were absolutely beautiful+The food.. Namua is the best cook. The food she provides everyday is super fresh vegan and absolutely delicious. I feel like some things need to be said tho. The work is everyday work like feeding 3 times a day, for example. You might not be able to go out for long in your free time in between. +The busses out of the village leave only once every couple of hours and the ride to bigger cities is quiet long. + the last bus into the village is at 7pm.

I had an incredible time staying with Namua. The peaceful atmosphere in the mountains was perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge. One of the highlights of my stay was the vegan lifestyle. Namua really lives what she advocates, and I really appreciated her delicious meals. I also loved how Namua cared for the animals and it was heartwarming to see how she creates a safe, loving environment for them. I enjoyed helping out with the animal care, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for her sustainable and ethical way of living. The work was fulfilling but never overwhelming.

I really enjoyed this place! She is a very sweet woman who is both smart and caring, and fun to talk to. It was great getting to know her, and her food is really good. The hours are respected, but you need to keep an eye on them yourself (there will always be work). Namua has her own way of doing things, and she expects you to follow her methods. She will correct you if something isn't done the way she prefers, so you need to be able to handle criticism. Her house is surrounded by beautiful nature, but it's still easy to take day trips to other towns by bus. I would definitely recommend!

My time at the home was outstanding. I met many different people and could experience the impact of different group dynamics and how to work together as a community. I learned a lot about how to include more sustainable mechanisms into your everyday life, about veganism and the concept of permaculture. The food was incredible and the daily tasks in the house and with the animals / plants are fulfilling. I would recommend this to anyone! My advice is to bring long trousers against moscitos and some anti histamin pills if you're allergic. Also biodegradable products.

Where do I begin! I felt very much welcomed at the home from the beginning. I got a tour of her property and settled in right away. I respect the way Namua lives and just her as a person so much. The daily tasks are easy going and meditative. From my experience I got to work with wonderful humans and learned a lot with them as we went along. What is amazing to me is that everything on her property works for a reason. It gave me a whole new insight on sustainability! I couldn't have asked for anything else on my journey here. Thank you Namua!

Namua cares deeply for the animals she looks after and works hard to create a safe space for them. She also prepared diverse vegan meals, opening my mind to the different tastes of plant-based cooking. However, there were some challenges. The tools and materials weren't always ideal, making tasks harder. Communication was difficult at times, as her sarcastic replies made me hesitate to ask questions. Additionally, her comments about past volunteers sometimes left me wondering how I might be spoken about after I left. Still, I'm grateful for the experience and what I learned. Thank you, Namua

Namua is an interesting host who is passionate about sustainability and community. The tasks were fulfilling and gave me a chance to learn new skills and connect to nature. It's important to follow her specific methods and be open to critical feedback. It's a great experience to learn about animals, nature and community. The food was absolutely fantastic and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful! I loved meeting like-minded people and exploring the nearby areas. If you're adaptable and eager to learn, this is an experience I recommend! :)

The home is a great place to learn about sustainability, get used to a slower pace of life & meet like-minded people. Namua offers three delicious meals a day & it's inspiring to talk to her about her lifestyle choices. Her communication style is very direct in terms of recieving & offering feedback - so that's something you should be able to handle. Volunteers are expected to teach new volunteers about the tasks & projects, which causes errors to occur quite frequently in my opinion. I've really enjoyed this as my first worldpackers experience. Also, the mountains and village are beautiful!

Unforgettable experience: -met amazing people. -learned a lot about environmental awareness & permaculture lifestyle. -ate delicious & healthy food. -explored the surroundings full of beautiful nature and few water pools. It was assumed we knew how to complete tasks that were familiar to her, but not to us, so in some cases, we felt restrained from asking twice. Other than that, it's an experience I tremendously recommend and needs to be lived in your own skin! Thank you Namua for letting me stay in your home with your beautiful children (the animals) <3

Memorable and fulfilling experience. Namua's amazing cooking and humour were definite highlights. Tasks often felt rewarding. Although we volunteered during a challenging time, it taught me valuable lessons about the rewards and challenges of permaculture. The long hours were crucial for the crops' survival, but as things calmed, the atmosphere improved. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves animals, cares about the planet, can accept criticism with a positive mindset while maintaining their own sense of confidence. Extending my stay is a testament to how much I enjoyed it. Thank you, Namua!
