The Experience
I'm Miguel, and I grow life on a small scale through regenerative organic farming in Mira, a green semi-urban village by the sea. We produce our own compost, grow seasonal veggies, and sell locally. It's all about sustainability, real food, and reconnecting people with nature through hands-on work and mindful living.

Wow! I had the best time staying at Miguel's. He made sure I had everything I needed and I felt very comfortable to ask for questions or help in all areas. My room was very cozy and comfortable. Miguel and Telma are so kind and helpful— it didn't feel like work but fun learning. The farm and animals are beautiful. I had many moments with a profound connection to nature and I am leaving with a lot of clarity for my future. I felt like I truly connected with the experience and my hosts, I will certainly return to see the progress of the farm and deepen this connection! Thank you so much!

Miguel, Thelma, and Andre were very welcoming and accommodating. They are inspiring people who care deeply about their permaculture project, family, and friends. I did a range of tasks such as tending to the vegetable patches, sorting a shed, and building a chicken coop. The work was fun and varied. I shared the experience with three amazing Worldpackers, we chatted between breaks and during meals. On the weekends, we went on several outings to Praia de Mira, local restaurants, and holiday celebrations. The dorm where I slept was cozy. I would prepare for an outdoor experience. Obrigada xx

Miguel seems nice and I hope that as he gains more experience hosting he will be able to offer a better experience than I had. Sleeping arrangements were not ideal. I slept in a caravan. To get to the toilet in the house I had to cross fields and farmyards with tricky gates and no lighting - just my luck this coincided with my period. I unfortunately didn't get to work as I arrived on the weekend, then was sick, then cut my stay short as by day 3, I was covered in the itchiest bites. Miguel assured me he would clean the caravan. Grateful to Worldpackers support team for responsive help.

This was my first time doing worldpackers. Miguel and Andre were very welcoming and made me feel at home. The tasks were easy and i had plenty of free time to explore the surrounding nature. While the living conditions were a bit rustic, overall it was a good experience.

Tuve mi primera experiencia acá y fué muy buena, Miguel siempre atento y cuidadoso con los detalles, tuve muy buenas conversaciones y relaciones con André y Pedro que fueron súper conmigo. Las madrinas de Miguel fueron como mías propiamente, muy lindas personas♥️. Pasé navidad y año nuevo con la familia y fue genial con una rica cena, mejore mi Português, se cumplieron los tiempos del trabajo, tuve lo acordado, buena comida y un buen lugar para dormír y también paseos muy lindos en Aveiro y Mira pueblo local, bonitos paisajes en bicicleta que recomiendo realizar. Muy agradecida de la familia.
