The Experience

Somos una familia aventurera de tres personas que pasó cinco años viajando en nuestra caravana, coleccionando historias increíbles y experiencias inolvidables.

I loved being so close to nature and learning how a sustainable lifestyle is possible — farming with respect and giving back to the land at the same time. The main volunteer tasks included helping with the animals and on the fields. Since I enjoy cooking, I spent most time in the kitchen. I could try new things, like cooking over an open fire to handling a machete. The sleeping accommodation was basic but cozy. It was especially nice to get to know the community and Matu and hear more about their travels. The food was absolutely delicious, healthy, and vegetarian.
