My second experience in the eco village was AWESOME and full of challenges, we built a bench using recycled materials and faced the strong winter winds, we talked about various topics and visited very beautiful rural and wild areas, an experience that I would definitely do it again and Erik is a person who is always open to dialogue and available. I suggest you prepare as best you can, taking into account that it is a place surrounded by nature and contacts with people are rarer but also much more significant. CIAO AMICOOO!

That was my first Worldpackers experience and definitely an unconventional one. The desert is so beautiful and the living conditions are so much better than described in the survivor's guide. There is a certain degree of freedom in terms of choosing a project you want to work on, but once a project is chosen, the commitment is expected. Erik is a great host, kind and generous, and a very interesting person to have conversations with as well. I was the only worldpacker on the property for about 2 weeks, but never felt unsafe. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I'm very grateful for it

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was amazing! Erik is one of the best person I've met in my life, and we get well in any aspect of my living in the eco village. This is not a place for anyone, but I think anyone that is involved in community living and sustainability can learn a lot from this place. Living following the daylight really changed my life, and in the eco village I learned to be conscious about every aspect of living: working, eating, managing resources, managing waste and be part of a community. I hope more people go to the eco village to help him improving the place :)

Desert is not for everybody, however, Eric is very good with ensuring you're fully aware of what you're signing up for. I loved my stay here, and I feel empowered by this experience in my abilities. I learned how to use power tools, build dome buildings, mud walls, etc. On the weekends, we always went for adventures in nature -hot springs, slot canyons, mountains, sand dunes. It was truly amazing! I miss this place already:)

An unforgettable life experience, every day was a different adventure, the desert isn't a place for everyone and that's why the moments you live there are unique. Erik is a wonderful host, dedicated and committed to building a sustainable life and community in every way. In 2 months I was able to design and build in earth, plastic, wood and glass, learn about solar water and electricity systems, natural and passive methods of heating and cooling, composting and gardening, plus I went to an oasis, hot springs, rock climbing, hiking and more. the eco village become my home and I'll surely come back
