I have absolutely loved this experience. I was instantly welcomed in the family and felt so good. The work is pretty easy, you should count at least 2h a day for filming and editing. But I could arrange my schedule freely and was able to visit the citys and places next to the home and do little trips often. The people were so lovely and it's a true immersion in a new culture which was incredibly interesting. Obviously you have to be prepared for a simple way of living, no western standard can be expected. A time I will never forget and i will come back 100%. I recommend!!!!

The experience was so great. I lived with a family and captured everyday moments. They were very attentive to me, and I was able to truly immerse myself in the culture. Regarding work, I was able to manage my schedule freely. I highly recommend it to those adventurers who have no problem living with animals and insects and living a humble life.

Thank you, Nagore! I’m really happy you enjoyed your stay and connected so well with the family. You captured the spirit of Doxandem perfectly. You’ll always have a home in Palmarin and in other Doxandem destinations!
