The Experience
Hi travelers! 🌍 I'm Sarah, a French girl who’s been living in Brazil for a few years now. I'm a kite instructor and totally in love with the laid-back Brazilian beach lifestyle. Right now, I’m building a house in Pontal de Maceió, CE — a special family project with my mom and sister. We’re almost done, and we’re looking for a helping hand to finish up painting, varnishing, and small details. Wanna be part of this dream?

Its was really a good experience! The house is really beautiful i feel home the first hour when i arrived! Pontal do maceio is also wonderful, its really a peace place with beautiful beach! The job is not to hard for me, i painted and make gardening during the morning and after i can enjoy my day! Sarah is really friendly, she live in a other house but she is really welcoming. I really recomend this volontering and i went this place with a lot of beautiful memories!

My stay at the guest house was nice and calm. Work was mostly painting and varnishing, which I enjoyed ! The guesthouse and the room for the volunteers are pretty, cozy and clean. Sarah was very busy during the week I stayed but she was very kind, always available for any question or doubts, and caring I had everything I needed! I enjoyed lots of alone time and spending time with other guests in the house :)

Sarah is an amazi g host. Very welcoming and accomodating, always making sure I have everything I need. She also took the time to show me the surrounding and give me tips about activities I could do. Her 2 cats and 2 dogs are the cherry on top 😊

The week passed so quickly because we had a great and chill time here. In the mornings we helped Sarah with the work on her house, with music and a good mood. She welcomed us very well and took care of us throughout. We had a great week and we are very happy to have contributed to the realization of her great project!

Experiência na casa tilápia foi ótima! A cidade è bem tranquila, sem muito agito e ideal para relaxar! A Sarah me recebeu muito bem, as atividades foram tranquilas também, ajudei a pintar algumas paredes! O espaço que è disponibilizado para o voluntário è otimo, espaço amplo, cozinha boa, rede para relaxar.. Vou levar só coisas boas da casa tilápia e fortim
