For me it was a great experience, especially because it was my first volunteer experience. The work was chill and i had a lot of time to explore Algarve. the only thing, if you don't have a car it's hard to explore other citys and the public transpoetion is really bad but you can use uber or you can go with other people also, if they have a car, but otherweise i really enjoyed my time here and the weather was so great in September you feel still summer.

Loved my stay! The work is fair and allows you to meet so many people and spend lots of time near and on the beach! The villa and the pool is a nice place to live, due to high season was very busy and full of lots of people but, for me, this was great as I loved making lots of new friends :) Sad to leave the algarve will miss the sunset and the gorgeous beaches!!!
