I had a beautiful experience at Eco Avventura, where I got to experience Sicilian culture at a slow, environmentally conscious pace whilst meeting some amazing people from around the world. It's an experience that has challenges and discomforts due to the basic living environment but it's all worth it. Some core memories were definitely formed as part of it! Thankyou:))

This was a great experience to get in touch with nature and meet other volunteers. Christian has big dreams which demand some work but well worth it and makes the beach days and adventures more fun. Mosquitoes are inevitable but a little citronella and good company can resolve the itch. We spent most of our days caring for the animals, gardening, focusing on bigger projects and doing side missions. Christian cannot oversee and lead everything going on at camp, so at times the work felt unorganized but the elder volunteers took charge and helped. Overall great vibes!!

We had some very "unorganized party kids" in the camp. In the future we have to send those back which bring the team spirit down. Who ever respects the environment and is able to listen the simple advices instead can make the experiences of their lifetime. Team work makes the dream work! Over all *clear open communication* leads to success and a lovely peacefull atmosphere.

The people coming there were so so so loveley, everytime someone had to leave (or when i had to leave) it felt like a little hardbreak. I'm very grateful for christian showing us the most beautiful spots of nature in Sicily. The places he took us onto adventures were not well known by tourist so it really is calming. Most questions about the work we asked to the other volunteers, because christian was not always around and sometimes when he was he was really tired, which was very understandable. The views from the project are amazing and the lonely beach was just breathtaking

Teamwork makes the dream work.
One main goal of the Adventure Hill is to help others becoming *independent* in life. Anyway Christian as team leader, as well others (guided before by Christian) are always available for questions. (Of course one after the others and besides we organizer the whole huge project.) The potential is enourmus. *Just tell what you want and what you need.*

The last days also some "drug kids" came as "volunteers". As streetworker we helped them also in the past in the cities and to stay in the nature can help them. Only it is less helpfull when they doing drugs in the camp. - Telling them to stop poisoning themselves and others, and if they dont stop in worst case tell them to leave is definitely tiring.

Luckily most of the time people here show more respect for the project and themselves. It is than always amazing to see the teamprocess, how "strangers" from all around the world become one big family.

*Learning by doing* helps a lot. And again: Teamwork makes the dream work!

It was a great experience, I felt welcome and I enjoyed spending so much time in nature and living in a way that is more environment friendly. The other volunteers were so amazing and kind. Also I learned a lot about gardening during my stay. Christian is respectful and has a lot of knowledge about Sicilie and knows a lot of locals. One thing that you should know though is that the beach is not close, it takes about 20 Minutes with the car or 2 hours if you walk. And also, there are no dance lessons or surfing lessons. At least there where none, when I was there.

We have some of the most beautiful beaches directly below the Adventure Hill. The next beach is only 1 km of road, then 5 km surrounded by amazing nature. In an hour, a 60-year-old woman made it walking.

10 minutes by car.
So we don't understand your way of counting time.

Surf lessons are possible. COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY.

Este es uno de los proyectos que el mundo necesita. El lugar es fantastico, con unas playas y unos pueblos paradisiacos. Todo el que venga debe saber que aqui se aprende a saborear, no solo a consumir. Es muy satisfactorio estar en un proyecto en construccion en el que cada uno de nosotros puede dejar una huella permanente. Este proyecto necesita gente comprometida y responsable, con un espiritu sano y sin miedo a un estilo de vida que a veces es duro. Sin embargo, en los casi 40 dias que he pasado en el campamento no ha habido una sola dificultad que nos haya podido quitar la sonrisa al grupo

Eco-advventures fue y será una de las experiencias más bellas y mágicas que uno pudiera tener. No es fácil el estilo de vida que se comprende, pero con una mente y corazón abierto, es de las mejores experiencias que uno puede tener. Un gran agradecimiento a Christian que hace el proyecto posible<3

Recomiendo este voluntariado al 100%. Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Pase dos semanas con más voluntarios y Christian y no podía haberme sentido más agusto. Las actividades dentro y fuera del proyeto fueron 10/10. Es un ambiente muy acogedor, lleno de respeto y diversión. El proyecto que esta realizando Christian es increíble y se nota que tiene mucha pasión por ello. Recomiendo quedarse algo más de dos semanas para poder aprovechar al máximo, ojala poder haberme quedado más tiempo. Estoy deseando ya volver y ver el progreso del proyecto.
