Amazing! Joao and all the other people at this coliving house are incredible people. I felt like family almost right away. Its a place where people of all shapes and sizes can live together, socialize, help the community (a very cool neighborhood inthe center of Sao Paulo), and learn about each others cultures. Mostly Portuguese, but a bit of english spoken. I helped everyone with their english and they helped me with my Portuguese. We sang and played guitar (almost everyone is musical, and I'm a guitar teacher so it was heaven for me!). I will be back when I can to stay for longer!

Staying with João was an amazing experience! He's a fantastic host and his family is just wonderful — super kind, warm, and welcoming. I felt at home from day one. The vibe was peaceful, the communication was easy, and I truly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend everyone to visit João and experience his hospitality. Thank you so much, João, for everything! I'll never forget it 🙏✨”

I could not be more grateful for the week spent at the community especially for the incredibly strong bonds I built with the other people living there as well as with the other volunteers. Chores were light, volunteering time was flexible and all agreements previously made with Joao were respected with no exception. I now feel I have a place to call home for every time I am going to be back in Sao Paulo.
