It was definitely a mind-blowing experience and I enjoyed every single part of it! Everyone was really open, cheerful and above all had a radiant energy! There were yoga, meditation, ecstatic dance classes, many workshops and beautiful ceremonies. By the night everyone gather to dance to the sounds of the various artists! The food was vegan, very fresh and nutritious! The shifts were very easy, just help with the check-ins for a few hours. I met many inspiring people and lived moments of great connection and freedom <3 I'm very grateful to Mafalda for her help and for this unique experience!!

I loved the experience and the hosts were really really nice! The only thing I would remark is to specify what types of jobs we will do before hand. We ended up not working so much on the project and instead visited a lot of local places. I enjoyed it too but it wasn't what I expected. I think next year it will be planified differently! the project was incredible, an expreience that I will remember forever and I'll most definitely be coming back next year! Overall I felt really happy and had lots of fun, the only thing I would improve is the comunication and to be more clear on the tasks

Luisa, Fred, and Vasco, along with the help of other wonderful locals (as Marta, Costa and the president) made me feel like a cherished part of their family. If you want to experience Portugal like a local, this is the perfect adventure for you. You'll learn so much about the beautiful surroundings of Baião, and you'll get to visit some very magical place that you wouldn't encounter otherwise! I also got to end with a day of the project that was truly the perfect finale. The food, the wine, and the company are exceptional, offering a deep and enriching exploration of a vibrant culture.

This is was a beautiful experience in which I got to know local Portuguese culture. I felt extremely welcomed and I find Portuguese hospitality very warm. This year's the project lasted for only day but it was incredible event that I'm so grateful for.

The experience is good for those into spiritual practices (crystals, tarot cards, etc). Host gave me a sleeping bag and tent. Thank you! I feel the host needs to work on communication. Sometimes I'd text her and she wouldn't respond till days later. It was really frustrating. They should work on including all details in the description. I didn't know I needed to bring my own utensils or plate because it doesn't say that on the description. Luckily the other girl volunteering had extras. The food was the same every single day (veggies, bread, and salad… except the last dinner.. it was pasta.
