Our focus is now on building an international community model for extended stays from locals and foreigners alike who seek the freedom to live as they want.

My experience in the guest house was really cool. I made friends from all over the world who I will carry in my heart forever. My goal here was to be able to contribute to Armenia in some way and I am happy with the experience I had there :)

Volunteering in the guest house was a beautiful experience. I connected deeply with nature, animals, and a community of amazing people from around the world. We worked together, shared meals, and supported each other like a family. Gregory was kind and helpful, always open to assist. The work schedule was flexible, and I even managed to work remotely without problems. It was my first volunteer experience, and it made me appreciate the value of simplicity, teamwork, and being present. I'm really grateful for my time there.

The best volunteer experience of my past two years was here. Living with such a wise person taught me things that gave more meaning to my life. The environment here is like a university—perhaps even better and more enlightening. Every day, we learned new grammar and vocabulary. You can live with animals, learn music, and read many books. Here, you can test your abilities and learn new things. Without a doubt, it's the best place for growth. Looking forward to meeting again. This is a place for revolution 🌎🇦🇲
