The Experience
Cabueñes is a beautiful rural neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Gijón. From Los Chimis' house to the city center, it is only a 15-minute bike ride or a 5-minute ride on public transport with easy connections. The idea of this project is to bring a fresh air to this beautiful house with the goal of turning it into an eco-sustainable space, aiming to improve its energy efficiency and to make use of the resources from the garden.

Alex is a friendly and warmhearded person, who is always concerned that everyone is more than just confortable. It was a nice experience to work with him. Sandrino and me would be happy to come back some day and see the finished project. Muchas gracias por todos!

This was our first volunteer experience. Alex is a very kind person, who did everything to make us feel comfortable in our time there, feeling like part of the family. Sometimes the work was hard, but everytime manageable. We were able to work by ourselves and could also plan the time as we want to explore the fantastic nature. Four volunteers in all, we helped each other and had a great time. Every person who wants to help Alex with his project, should do that. Thanks a lot for this time.

Fue mi primer voluntariado con Worldpackers y supero mis espectativas. Lo primero que destacaría es la naturaleza que rodea Gijón, es un sitio perfecto para explorar. La convivencia en el Gijon Surf Hostel fue genial, me sentí súper acogida desde el primer día, conocí a muchas personas increíbles de diferentes partes del mundo, hicimos varias cenas internacionales y hemos tenido un gran intercambio de culturas e idiomas. Sobre todo quiero agradecer a Alex, nuestro anfitrión, una gran persona, siempre fue muy atento a que estemos agusto y muy buena comunicación. Recomendación 1000%
