I stayed at Gorgolau for 3 weeks and for me it was perfect! Independent of my volunteering stay, I participated in a Cob-building workshop for 5 days, where I met the Hosts, talked about potential volunteering, and a few weeks after the workshop I was back in their Land. To my satisfaction, I could build further on the cob-building - it was awesome! Besides that, it was a really comfortable stay. I enjoyed the company of Jas and Fede (Hosts) and the two other volunteers, we often cooked together or went to a super beautiful river at the weekends! I will definitely come back someday! Fabi🌿

Mi experiencia en la granja fue increíble! Aprendí mucho de sostenibilidad y de construcción con materiales naturales. Primera vez en un voluntariado de este estilo, me encantó y lo volvería a hacer (Cumplen con todo lo acordado) Todos te reciben con mucha alegría, te hacen sentir muy cómoda y parte desde el día 1. Gracias por dejarme ser parte y especialmente a Fede una persona increíble, muy generosa, siempre al tanto de que te sientas bien y no te falte nada! Lo recomiendo si lo que buscas es estar en contacto con la naturaleza, tranquilidad, nadar en el río, conocer gente y pasarla bien!

Fue mi primer experiencia como voluntario y no podría ser mejor, fue súper enriquecedor y de mucho aprendizaje, la estadía y la comida fueron geniales, los anfitriones ( Fede, Jas y Greta) fueron super amables y parientes en todo momento. Trabajamos, entrenamos, paseamos, nadamos. Gracias por todo, super recomendado.
