About the experience in: Monte Compatri, Italy
Brazil
I stayed at Patrick's house during the winter and had a mixed experience. While he was kind in many moments, some aspects made the stay challenging. There was no regular access to hot water, so I had to heat water in a pot and use a basin for bathing. Patrick was eager to socialize but occasionally diregarded personal boundaries, including entering my room unannounced in his underwear. While he SEEMS well-intentioned, I recommend future volunteers, especially WOMEN, discuss expectations and boundaries beforehand.
