My time helping Carol was really nice, even I was a bit sick for most of the time. She was aways very open to explain whatever I asked, from the job in the farm to the local history. The food that she prepared was great. Also I could participate of the one of the festivals in the city which was really pleasant as I could be more into to the local culture. And of course, Mungo, her dog was a great company and very friendly as well. And Cherven is a such a nice place, especially the ruins of the medieval town. Hardly recommend.

The home became my the home shelter. Everything that Carol is doing there is breathtaking. Her approach to the way of living, her creativity and opened mind inspire me so much. The work was different, mostly physical, but that was exactly what i wanted and needed. I felt like we were creating a special place where human and nature become one. I will miss you, Carol, your cats and Mango. I will miss Cherven, too.

I had a great time here. Work was tiring but reasonable and Carol kept me well fed with her good cooking. Living quarters were on the second floor and I was the only volunteer for most of the time I was there so I felt I had plenty of privacy. Mostly a very quiet area except for some jackals partying at night off in the distance. I learned how to use a pitchfork and an easier way to clear ground with a shovel.

Carol is an incredible person, very kind, intelligent and a great cook. We worked in the home picking potatoes and plums and also inside the house doing construction and restoration work. I learned about natural construction techniques and had a very funny time with Carol and her dog Mungo. The place is very beautiful and surrounded by nature. There are trails near her house, a medieval citadel where I took Mungo for a walk with me and we had a relaxed time in contact with nature. I recommend this experience!

This was one of the best volunteer I've ever done. Carol was always concerned about our stay. She was super organized in every detail and always made all the work information clear. We helped with maintaining the vegetable the home, harvesting potatoes, renovating the walls of the house, rearranging the furniture and other things. I would definitely recommend this volunteering.
