I felt comfortable during my stay. In the three weeks I really got to know the family and how they live. When I had problems, they always had an open ear and helped me as much as they could. I had some funny moments there. However the language there was a little problem for me. The family speaks with each other Quechua, not Spanish. So I couldn't be part of the conversation nor understand anything about it. That made me feel lonely sometimes. But the when they spoke Spanish, everything was good.

Hello, Emma. It seems that you may have misunderstood my previous message. I want to emphasize that nobody is being forced to do anything; it's a matter of respecting my culture. I kindly ask you to carefully read the conditions stated on my page's profile. I have reminded you several times to review the terms and policies of my project. Therefore, I urge you to read them thoroughly next time to avoid encountering these minor inconveniences. It is essential to respect the customs and cultures of each country. I do not align with your perspective, and please remember that I supported you through challenging times, so I urge you to express gratitude to MOTHER EARTH "PACHAMAMA," who provided you with assistance. Please recall what I am referring to. Thank you.

I had really good experience while I was volunteering, the tasks are really simple. For example: helping with the lamas, working at a small field of vegetables, bringing wood from the forest to the family house. I think it's simple and nice for one week to chill and get to know a little bit with the community and the culture.

Tasks were light and diverse, one day I was taking care of llamas, another one I was assisting in the garden or storing wood in a shelter. I could easily talk to Nelson and his family members, and I've learnt a lot about their day-to-day lives and costumes. Due to the political situation and demonstrations, I was the only worldpacker in there, but I could meet other foreigners when trekking or exploring the city. Food tastes good and you can have as much as you want, you'll take care of your own utensils. The bedroom is clean and I had enough space to study and work in there in my free time.
