About the experience in: Alvaiázere, Portugal
Brazil
A senhora Helena é hospitaleira e divertida, além de ser excelente cozinheira, sempre nos proporcionando ótimas refeições e momentos agradáveis com bons vinhos. Tem consciência ambiental e muito conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável. As tarefas eram simples como pintura, manutenção, jardinagem e passear uma vez por dia com seus cachorros. Fazíamos tudo na parte da manhã e tirávamos o restante da tarde para descansar, ver séries e/ou andar pelo pacato vilarejo, onde é possível colher uvas e figos pelas ruas. Nos dias de folga podíamos utilizar o carro dela para visitar cidades próximas.

Figos, uvas, pêssegos, maçãs e oliveiras faziam parte do nosso dia durante a estadia em Zambujal. Nossas tarefas foram: passear com os cachorros, pintura, jardinagem, organização, limpeza e presença. Tive a valorosa oportunidade de poder ter contato com a natureza em Zambujal e a senhora Helena, com sua generosidade e clareza, tornou nossa experiência mais amigável e confortável. Aprendemos sobre a cultura local, alimentação e tempo presente. Obrigada por nos receber! Helena, Cheetah, Rufi e Pluto estarão para sempre em nossas memórias com muito carinho.

About the experience in: Alvaiázere, Portugal

Helena is a wonderful woman who made my first volunteering experience unforgettable. She cooks delicious and different lunches every day, and her home is cozy and welcoming. I fell in love with her sweet cat and two lovely dogs. Our tasks included walking the dogs, painting, gardening, organizing, and other DIY projects. I really enjoyed my time there and learned a lot. One thing to keep in mind is that the house is in a very quiet and remote area, so there’s not much around. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking to disconnect, enjoy nature, and have a peaceful routine.

Helena was amazing, super friendly and welcoming.
The communication was great, she explained the tasks very clearly and we had great conversations over lunch.
The tasks were very reasonable and working hours very good too.
Helena is also an amazing cook, we ate something new everyday, and the food was very good and healthy.
100% recommend.
