The Experience

We are a family of 4 who recently moved from Italy to Brazil. We currently need volunteers interested in exchanging their knowledge and willing to learn more about woodwork, gardening, building, farming and permaculture. We eat mostly vegan, eggs and dairy everynow and then. We love to cook our own food and avoid industrialized itens.

It was overall an interesting experience. The family is very welcoming and they are happy to share whatever they know with you. I have learnt a lot with them and feel thankful for the exchange. The only thing (i.m.o.) that needs done is make sure provide PPE and clear instructions to the volunteers when handling heavy tools and machines. We eventually got them but it's very important to have everything first handed when staying in such remote place. Aside from that, they were very nice to us and they cook amazing meals.

Davide, Angelica, Gaia y Gaki son una familia con mucho para dar y con un coraje y valentía que inspiran! Emprendieron un proyecto que siempre está precisando de manos amigas y en el que además de estar haciendo aportes a su hermoso proyecto, lo hacés conectando con la naturaleza en un lugar maravilloso. Las semanas que compartimos con ellos no nos faltó nunca nada, nos llevamos aprendizajes valiosos y concretos, como algunas metodologías para manipular madera y construir muebles con ella. Vivimos experiencias de expansión personal. Gracias por todo, familia! Viajan con nosotros! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🐕

Tuve una hermosa experiencia. El lugar es hermoso y las actividades son llevaderas. Aprendí mucho sobre carpintería y sobre la naturaleza que nos rodea. Angélica y Davide son geniales, pacientes y flexibles. Y con los niños, Gaki y Gaia, todo el tiempo es diversión... si preferís relajarte también lo entienden y te dan el espacio que necesites. La casa donde nos quedamos tiene algunos detalles para mejorar, pero sigue siendo cómoda y completa. Hay que ir preparado para estar en la naturaleza.

Me encantó voluntariar con Angelica y Davide y conocer a sus hijos Gaia y Joaquim. Me recibieron muy amorosa y cálidamente, el trato fue muy atencioso desde el primer momento. El sitio es hermoso, es una experiencia inmersa en la jungla, mucha conexión con la naturaleza. Estuve ayudando en la finalización de la obra de su casa, las tareas son relativamente fáciles y entretenidas. También me tocó cocinar y ayudar con el cuidado de los animales, todo muy tranquilo y disfrutable. Me prestaron una carpa y un colchón para dormir, estuve muy cómoda. Sin dudas volveré, gracias!!
