The Experience
Me encuentro haciendo los últimos remates de una casa en medio del campo y con el huerto a tope. El sitio es una aldea de casas de piedra en medio de la montaña, en un bosque con robles centenarios. Hay pozas para bañarse, ríos, cascadas y mucho monte. Ven y conoce como vivía la gente antiguamente, las costumbres del lugar y sus construcciones típicas. Te estamos esperando!!

Personally I had a great time! I got along with everyone and was able to connect with the people and make some real friendships. The place and its surroudings are truly beautiful. There is a waterfall in which we went swimming, we went hiking and there are a lot of beautiful villages and ruins to visit. It's a great space to relax and connect with the nature. The work can be exhausting at times but with the other volunteers it's always fun and the tasks were quite simple. The work hours are great and definitely fair. It's a really interesting project and I learned a lot :)

The host kicked me out without notice or choice for comunication, he showed a callous disregard for my safety and other volunteers. Fortunately the place is beautiful and my colleagues had my back

Se te comento que no tenias una actitud adecuada por no haber atisbo alguno de aceptar crítica alguna. Aparte de no colaborar con las tareas comunes. Tu respuesta fue que tu lo habias hecho todo perfecto y una mirada penetrante que nos (a mí y a Ricardo) causó miedo.
Aun así en vez de decirte que te fueras en el momento por tus medios se te acercó al pueblo y se te pago una noche de hotel.
Cuando se te dijo que tenias que marchar tu respuesta fue que no tenias dinero ninguno ni nadie que te lo pudiera prestar, ni familia ni amigos. Dudo que así sea pues 70 euros los tiene todo el mundo por muy mal que esté su situación económica.
Yo de esta situación me quedo con que es mejor poner límites antes ante una circunstancia parecida, que habría que haber hablado con el resto de voluntarios delante aparte de estar Ricardo y yo, que me precipité tomando la decisión por mi cuenta en vez de consensuar con Ricardo (si bien él estaba de acuerdo).
Espero que tu tambien aprendas algo y que te vaya muy bien en la vida.
Y sí, me fue de Reggio Calabria a Milán gratis jejeje.
Ale, que te vaya bonito.

Estoy súper contenta por la experiencia vivida durante un mes y medio. Me ha encantado compartir con todas las amigas de la comunidad y especialmente con todas las voluntarias que allí coincidimos y convivimos. También me siento muy agradecida por la acogida de miguel que abre las puertas de su casa y trata de que no nos falte de nada. Es un proyecto al que le queda una gran trayectoria por trazar, y estoy segura de que estáis en el buen camino. Mucha suerte!

Me gustó la experiencia, estuve dos meses, Miguel es buena gente y se preocupa de las necesidades de los voluntarios, si te pasa algo se hace cargo ya sea de llevarte al hospital como paso con un voluntario que se torció el pie el primer día y solo se le dio la tarea de cocinar, y limpiar cosa que cumplió a medias tomando en cuenta que el accidente no fue grave porque podía recorrer tramos largos sin problemas, si sales y te demoras mucho esta pendiente de mantener el contacto para asegurarse que todo está bien, comida no falta y esta a libre disposición y conocí gente muy linda
