This experience has been an awesome opportunity to learn and enjoy myself. I really loved getting involved into this beautiful community because everyone was such an inspiration in so many ways. I learned so much from the whole volunteers community because everyone had something to share, so I felt really lucky to be here! I really appreciate spending time with kids creating arts and crafts linked to the storytelling - which is absolutely the best moment of the week due to Minne and his awesome ideas and talent-. The accomodation was okay too. The use of bikes facilitated was perfect.

This experience's been amazing! We really enjoyed spending time at the lodge. Every day was a new day full of creative activities and fun ways to get kids involved into the whole community of Terragonians. We'd like to remark on the storytime Minne develops, creating a magical atmosphere for everyone. Best of all! Besides, the accommodation at the camping was also comfy. The caravan we stayed in was a bit small but cozy. Also, Claudia and Minne were very welcoming and lovely! They make sure everything was okey and if not, they'd solve it very quickly. It's been a pleasure! 100% recommended <3

Claudia and Minnie were very welcoming. The space and activities they offer for kids are amazing and I've worked in education for years I've never seen anything like this the lodge. I made amazing friends with the other volunteers and a sense of community during my stay. I appreciated this experience and learned a lot.

My experience with this host has been incredible. I was originally going to stay only 3 weeks and ultimately decided to stay 6. I made wonderful friends in the volunteer house, and would spend most of my free time with them in the city center, cooking, playing board games, or just walking the lodge. The area where you stay is extremely nice. I've enjoyed being able to use my bike to go anywhere while still being the lodge, yet not too far away from the city. Each week, I would organize games with the kids and run along with them in the forest. Super fun!

The establishment Claudia and Minne has built here is a very good one. They find good, respectful people to help nurture that positive environment to work, sleep, and even hangout in. They are wonderful people who live full lives with a lot of passion in what they do, both in their place and in their community. I've always felt listened to and taken care of while I've stayed for my month, and despite how busy they got, they would stop to check in to make sure everything was going well in my stay. I'm deeply happy about my stay, and hope to come again next year. Thank you Claudia and family!
