The Experience

We seek help to renovate a bedroom and bathroom and tidy up the garage (packed with junk to the ceiling). One of you has to drive a vehicle (must be over 25 & valid licence at least 5 years). We also welcome your help with household chores and walking the dogs, just like any other family member. We are very flexible with schedules and accommodate for hikes/trips and will lend you a car. Couples welcome; pets, too. NOS PUEDES ESCRIBIR EN ESPAÑOL.

The home and the home are two incredible people, the stay was wonderful, as we could find two friends, made us feel at home, they provided us much more than expected, are very friendly, at the same time we learned a lot from them for example the way to cook food from scratch, the sustainability that follow to use waste of food , and all the days we ate an amazing cuisine, really they were many recipes unforgettables , and also we learn about the game of karioka, we played many hours. we agree with other worldpackers , Vanessa and Fabio , and we had very fun experiences walking the puppies.

Our stay with the home and the home was nice and we learned a lot about the history of the surrounding area. Both are the best cooks I think I have had the pleasure of knowing, and they are very knowledgeable about local mushrooms and plants. the home is full of wisdom and the home is the kindest person you could meet. If you are interested in a more remote home stay and want to spend a lot of time together then I would absolutely recommend them!

I loved staying here! 10/10, the home and the home are the nicest people and I loved every minute. They took us on daily walks which I absolutely loved and learned so much. the home is very knowledgeable about plants and the surrounding area. The meals they made were spectacular, I was amazed everyday. The room I stayed in was very nice and the bed was very comfortable for a good nights rest. Would recommend to anyone!

Hermosa primera experiencia con la casa! Fueron tres semanas increíbles en su casa junto a mi pareja, y la verdad es que nos sentimos como en casa. Son personas súper amables y cercanas, fue un verdadero placer conocerlos junto a su familia con sus perritos y gatita. Las principales tareas fueron ayudar en cocina, limpieza, cuidado y paseo de perritos, y algunas reparaciones específicas. No tengo palabras para agradecer por cada comida, paseo e historias que nos contaban del lugar y además entregarnos conocimientos sobre la flora y fauna de la región. ¡Muchas gracias por todooooo!

Fue una hermosa experiencia! nuestro primer voluntariado y no pudo ser en un mejor lugar. la casa fueron muy lindos anfitriones, nos hicieron sentir como en un hogar, en el que además estuvimos muy bien acompañados de las y los peluditos, el resto de la familia y amigos, y otros viajeros amigos también. Comimos muy rico, y conocimos hermosos lugares y personas. En términos de labores nos dedicamos a tareas cotidianas de cocina, limpieza, cuidado de los perritos y algunas actividades específicas que se requerían en el jardín, reparaciones menores y otros. Estamos muy agradecidos <3
