Personally I had a great time! I got along with everyone and was able to connect with the people and make some real friendships. The place and its surroudings are truly beautiful. There is a waterfall in which we went swimming, we went hiking and there are a lot of beautiful villages and ruins to visit. It's a great space to relax and connect with the nature. The work can be exhausting at times but with the other volunteers it's always fun and the tasks were quite simple. The work hours are great and definitely fair. It's a really interesting project and I learned a lot :)

The host kicked me out without notice or choice for comunication, he showed a callous disregard for my safety and other volunteers. Fortunately the place is beautiful and my colleagues had my back

Se te comento que no tenias una actitud adecuada por no haber atisbo alguno de aceptar crítica alguna. Aparte de no colaborar con las tareas comunes. Tu respuesta fue que tu lo habias hecho todo perfecto y una mirada penetrante que nos (a mí y a Ricardo) causó miedo.

Aun así en vez de decirte que te fueras en el momento por tus medios se te acercó al pueblo y se te pago una noche de hotel.

Cuando se te dijo que tenias que marchar tu respuesta fue que no tenias dinero ninguno ni nadie que te lo pudiera prestar, ni familia ni amigos. Dudo que así sea pues 70 euros los tiene todo el mundo por muy mal que esté su situación económica.

Yo de esta situación me quedo con que es mejor poner límites antes ante una circunstancia parecida, que habría que haber hablado con el resto de voluntarios delante aparte de estar Ricardo y yo, que me precipité tomando la decisión por mi cuenta en vez de consensuar con Ricardo (si bien él estaba de acuerdo).

Espero que tu tambien aprendas algo y que te vaya muy bien en la vida.

Y sí, me fue de Reggio Calabria a Milán gratis jejeje.

Ale, que te vaya bonito.

El proyecto es de repoblación de un antiguo pueblo inmerso en la naturaleza, rodeado de montañas y lleno de cascadas y ríos maravillosos. Llegué a la comunidad para el Festival de las Bellotas y me encontré con un montón de gente super chula. ¡De hecho, me quedé una semana más! Miguel y sus compañeros son personas disponibles, de gran corazón, con ganas de tener un impacto positivo en el mundo. Me sentí como en casa y espero volver pronto. ¡Gracias!

Excelente experiencia, es una aldea en crecimiento, con excelente ambiente y buenos paisajes. El contacto con la naturaleza es completo, posee bosques, montañas, cursos de agua cerca y libertad de acción para recorrerlo y disfrutarlo. Las personas se han brindado al 100% y me quedan una sensación de tener que volver.
