Mike is a very sound guy and what he's created in Castelo Branco is very cool. I felt so chill and happy there with the other volunteers and we always had something fun to do. Happy to be part of the project now:) Hope to come back soon;)

I had the most amazing time with Mike. I have never felt so at peace and so happy like I did at the project. The place is absolutely magical and I will definitely come back. All the social gatherings, games nights, parties, grocery trips and afternoons at the lake will be missed <3

The project was an experience that I won't forget about. I've met so many people and made so many memories in such a short time. Mike is an amazing and super funny guy and the other volunteers are always great and adventurous people. We were often visiting the lake, river, cinema, the town or other communities around. Mike was always making sure that we are having good time and we did !! It was such a freeing experience, living off grid in this super cool environment. I will be definitely back ;))

What a place the project is!! Mike has done an incredible job at building a community which brings together people from across the world to a beautiful space built for connection. Mike genuinely cares about each one of his guests and will do his best to make sure everyone is feeling comfortable and happy, and is having fun! Living an off grid lifestyle isn't for everyone, but I found the minimalism of it so enchanting and inspiring. It's been such a pleasure to meet others in the off grid community in the Castelo Branco area through Mike as well. the project is a home away from home!!!
