This is my first solo travel and first volunteering with Worldpackers. Michael is an awesome guy! From the moment I saw him to the day I left, he was always caring and a funny guy, that's for sure. I had a meaningful and grounding stay at this eco farm, surrounded by nature and sustainable living. A minor miscommunication arose, but it was quickly and kindly resolved. Though it was just Kathy and me, we made it a story worth telling. Planting seeds and knowing they'll grow into trees one day was a beautiful experience. I can't wait to see what grows from it all.

The farm is a beautiful farm in the mountains. A place to connect with nature, to relax, to disconnect from the city stress, to form consciousness, to spent time with the animals. I really enjoyed staying there and learning about planting and seeing how Michaels projects turn into reality . The farm has a huge fruits, vegetable and medicinal plants garden. If you're staying in the right time you can take advantage of harvesting what's planted. Michael is a really nice guy, very chill, conscious, has a lot of knowledge and passionate about his farm and projects.

Our experience with Michael was absolutely incredible. In the short time we had at the farm, we were able to learn a ton of things, about the day to day, and long term running of the farm, as well as share our own knowledge to help the future if the farm. I also feel I made life long friends in the time we spent there. I wish we had been there longer, and I can't wait to visit again!
