The Experience
Green landscapes of Northern Portugal, nestled in the Vale do Bestanca, Douro Verde Region. I’m part of a small but passionate community working to turn an abandoned farm into a thriving food forest and a creative art haven. This is more than just volunteering; it’s about immersing yourself in nature, connecting with like-minded people, and contributing to a meaningful project.

I went to volunteer at this place (we called it Jay's Paradise🌻🌱) for two weeks at the beginning of July and I absolutely loved the experience ! Jacob is such a kind and caring person, he truly makes sure you feel good. He's passionate about what he does and it's a real pleasure to learn from him and have conversations with him. I really enjoyed the work we did and I already miss the plants (especially the lucelima and the chilis aha). We also met amazing people through this volunteering experience <3 . I can only recommend it !!!
