Leo is someone truly committed to his lifestyle in the jungle, fully embracing a way of living in harmony with nature. He is an admirable person, always taking care of his two daughters and managing all the activities on the farm with dedication. The internet connection is good but not available throughout the entire farm, which slightly changed my initial plans. However, the surroundings are absolutely stunning. One thing that really surprised me was the number of Europeans in the area, both as tourists and as residents. Leo's two daughters are adorable but extremely demanding of attention.

I spent a week helping sew shut a few hundred bags of soil that would be used to construct a retaining wall. The area is really beautiful and I enjoyed the peaceful mornings and evenings in my hammock listening to the bugs and birds and rain. From the listing I did think there would be different types of tasks where I might learn more, but I wasn't there long so I imagine a longer term volunteer might learn more. The kids are very sweet. Leandro was flexible about me coming a day late because I was sick & his cooking is great. The internet works well. The room could be a bit more comfortable.

This was a nice experience completely immerged in the jungle! I learned a lot about making your own soap and cosmetic products. It was nice to share the daily life (tasks, meals...) with the hosts! Thanks again for having me :)
