I am so grateful for this experience. From the first moment I arrived at Meraki, I felt right at home. The place is beautiful, in a quiet village surrounded by nature where you can truly feel at peace. The team that coordinates the space is incredibly warm and motivating. As for the work exchange, I never felt like it was work exchange. We participated in the association's events and activities, and they gave us the freedom to develop our own ideas and/or projects. I had the opportunity to meet amazing people and learn so much. I definitely recommend this experience!
