Roger and Laura were absolutely excellent hosts!! One thing that amazed me the most is that Roger brought me out of my comfort zone by showing me the power of nature and another perspective to view the Earth. During this period, we developed true friendships, built deep connections and most importantly, I had so many once in a life time experiences that would change my life and I'd never forget this meaningful experience >< Truely recommended to everyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and get connected with the nature !!! 🤩🌱❤️

As American anthropologist and writer Joseph Campbell said, "If you follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. In the end, the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek!"

Roger showed us a beautiful place that we normally would have never seen or found. He's really friendly and can share a lot of knowledge about nature and cultures with you. We didn't get to spend much time together but still we're very grateful for this experience and his help for us to get around Ubatuba and see the prettiest spots :)

I call these spots the "hidden gems" of the rainforest, places that even the locals are not aware of. 💎 I'm so happy that you girls spent your last two days in Brazil with me! Yes, we can accommodate such requests as we’re not focused on volunteering work, but rather on these beautiful meetings and sharing we can have with like-minded travelers, pretty much like Couchsurfing. 🌎👫❤️ Any volunteers can come and meet us for a few days and enjoy this experience, all are welcome! ☀️

We spend one morning with Rodger. Sadly we didn't get to meet Laura. He knew a lot about the area, planned our 2- day stay& showed us a hidden gem (so special), we wouldn't have seen otherwise, where we just took some drone shots. Their project is less volunteering, rather they need people for their instagram and probably to hang out with, but in our situation his home was unavailable for us to sleep in, which was a bummer. The hostel he recommended had an amazing vibe though. When he couldn't meet us due to his job, he arranged an alternative with an amazing surfing instructor.Thanks a lot:)

It was a great chance to explore the other side of ubatuba with Roger! He took me to a hike and it was amazing, it was the first time of me being so connected with the nature and it was so healing!! This is the part where I got to step out of my comfort zone and see the world with different perspectives, and Roger was with me during the whole process, assisting me when I needed help. It was really a once in a lifetime experience and I would really recommend everyone to experience this!! 💕💕😍

As English film producer and writer Ralph Smart once said, "There is no Wi-Fi in the forest, but I promise you will find a better connection.” This was one of the most fun trips I've taken to these waterfalls for sure!!! 😆 I'm so glad you got to see all this, girl! This place is truly magical, precious and unique! ☀️🌊 Thank you for your trust, friendship and willingness to experience this with me!!! 👫❤️

My stay with Roger was everything that was promised in the description and much more! The highlight was a hike to waterfalls and that was truly an unbelievable experience: we hiked through the jungle to these hidden waterfalls and that was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Roger as a host is extremely welcoming and makes sure that you feel like a home while volunteering. He is also very helpfull and makes sure that everything goes smoothly in your trip. Volunteering with Roger is that kind of experience that you can't find in any place, very unique in the best way possible.

It was a pleasure meeting you, girl! It was also an honor to be a part of the very beginning of your trip around Brazil! And what an amazing hike that was! I was so glad to share all that we shared and show you the essence of the rainforest! Thank you for your trust and open heart! ☀️🌊💚
