I really had a great time in the farm! It's a farm, so the work is really hard, but at the end of the day, it really pays off to see the grass cut, some plantations done, or even a new project on the farm. The view is amazing! It was a pleasure staying a few days outside the all city craziness. Sometimes I found myself doing some work alone, but I can understand that Paul had some other personal things to solve. But when we're working together, it's an amazing feeling; he taught me a lot of things about gardening and all the different kinds of trees he has. Paul is totally amazing and kind

Fueron dos semanas con una muy buena experiencia Paul es una persona divertida y agradable, las tareas son muy variadas, desde cortar el pasto,quitar piedras,nivelar el suelo ,remodelación de la casa, yo tuve la oportunidad de soldar que es algo que hago y si tenés alguna habilidad para dar una mano es genial me sentí muy cómodo , es un lugar increíble. En algún momento volveré en otra temporada aunque la primavera fue espectacular, un show de luciérnagas en la noche para cerrar.

Mi primera experiencia como voluntaria ha sido maravillosa. La casa de Paul junto al río y las montañas es un paraíso.Estos días he conocido personas que me han hecho sentir en casa, Paul me presentó a sus amigos y hemos compartido noches de cenas, juegos de cartas y risas. El trabajo es duro, la agricultura es muy dura, nunca lo llegué a imaginar pero muy satisfactoria. La casa tiene chimenea, calefacción en las habitaciones y el agua de la ducha caliente. La casa está muy limpia. Paul es muy flexible y te pregunta qué trabajo prefieres hacer. Muchísimas gracias por todo Paul.

We had 2 days travelling and exploring the area, and met several friends. Everybody loved her. We all miss her delicious cooking and cakes, and hope she will return again later in the year....
Thank you again for everything Lorena.
Anyone who has you staying as a volunteer is very lucky!
Enjoy all your travels and adventures.
Divertiti!
Pace e amore ☮️

Paul tiene un maravilloso jardin y espectacular vista a la montaña y valle. Se realizan actividades como plantar, regar, cortar maleza, podar, etc. Trabajar en el campo era una experiencia que queria realizar y fue satisfactoria. Paul enseña como realizar las tareas y la comida fue de todo mi gusto. Su casa tiene una terraza muy linda y pude ver venados y zorros. Se agradece todo lo aprendido!!!

Sabe aquela experiência que te tira totalmente da sua zona de conforto ?! É exatamente isso. Se você procura um lugar afastado, contato com a natureza e se desafiar esse voluntariado pode ser para você! Paul respeitava as horas de trabalho combinadas e nos apresentou diferentes possibilidades de trabalho na horta, até trator dirigimos kkk. Só não vá com a ideia que será colheita de frutas, nozes e verduras porque é mais pesado que você imagina. Atenção Paul é excelente em jogos de cartas kkk
