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?

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!

Estar na Casa Tilápia, foi uma experiência muito revigorante. A casa é confortável, os trabalhos são bem explicados e os horários são flexíveis, o que me permitiu conciliar outras atividades com tranquilidade. Ter um quarto só pra mim foi um ponto muito positivo, me ajudou a manter o foco e o equilíbrio na rotina, vai ser difícil esquecer esse. Muito obrigado Sara, espero voltar em breve! Sucesso❤️
