Small family project where they're building the house they're going to live in. I did so many fun different tasks: milking goats, making grape juice, feeding the animals, building walls. You're working on their future home and that's an incredible feeling!

I had an amazing experience! Julia and Samuel are amazing people. They live in a really nice community trying to be the most sustainable they can. The place itself is super beautiful, there's a lake closeby where you can go for a swim on the hot days. They even have 3 great horses that make the farm even more beautiful when they run around. Thanks for everything Samuel and Julia!

It was great to have Tiago here, he is really friendly, easy going but very tidy and clean.
He did chores like it was his own place and he had great knowledge with working with wood.
Despite that he was a great and independent worker it was nice to spend time with him during meals and activities. To listen to some of his many traveller stories made it even more interesting!
Thank you for spending your time here and getting involved in our project, we will think of you everytime we walk on the woodfloor or trough the door ;)
