My experience was really nice. I love it! Samuel and David learned me a lot about the dogs. They are wonderful people and each of the dogs have a different personality that makes you love them instantly. Apart from dog training, I participated in other tasks on the shelter property. I liked it because I learned new things that help you in everyday life. Everything that it was said will be offered to me was true, like the food, my own room, and the free days. In my free time I visited the city of Madrid countless times. So i recommend this experience to everyone!🤍

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora dónde he podido aprender mucho sobre la vida del perro, el compromiso con ellos, el respeto que conlleva toda la relación con ellos, una excelente oportunidad para trabajar fomentando la vida sostenible en el campo, y muchos sitios hermosos que recorrer, agradecida con la oportunidad de poder compartir en este lugar ✨

Mariana fue una Worldpacker excepcional en El Momento. Su dedicación a los perros, compromiso con el aprendizaje y disposición para ayudar incluso en días libres por ejemplo cuando hay alguna urgencia veterinaria, la hicieron parte esencial de nuestro proyecto. Es alegre, respetuosa, organizada y normalmente sigue instrucciones con precisión y seguridad. Su amor por la naturaleza y experiencia en fincas se reflejan en su entrega diaria. Ella dejó huella y será bienvenida siempre en El Momento.

Aprendí sobre la vida del perro, caminar con ellos y observarlos en sus procesos, es la mejor parte de este voluntariado. La conciencia ambiental también se incentiva en esta experiencia porque la finca funciona con paneles solares y se tiene mucha precaución en gastar energía, entonces, uno se adapta a la vida de campo. Toca estar flexible con la distribución de tareas dentro de la casa, algunas veces toca cocinar, ayudar a limpiar la casa y demás. Cuando hay más voluntarios, es más clara la división de trabajo y por tanto, más efectivos los resultados.

Elegí la experiencia por los perros y por estar en la zona rural, distinta a lo que estoy acostumbrada, y superó mis expectativas. David me recibió muy bien, ofreciendo gran alojamiento, comida y conocimiento. Compartí la vivencia con Alex y Mar, personas increíbles que la hicieron aún más especial. Los 5 perros son encantadores, bien entrenados y hacen la rutina inolvidable.

Muito obrigado Vitoria, thank you for your help with the dogs and the virtual side of the research - educational and dog's protection project at El Momento.

David fue baneado de otras aplicaciones porque simplemente no funciona como líder. Nos vamos antes, por primera vez en toda nuestra experiencia, porque se rompen todos los acuerdos, se trabaja de más, se lava los platos de él y si alguna vez el tiene que lavar los del equipo se enoja, hay que cocinarle y limpiar y no lo cuenta como trabajo, si no hay sol no hay luz, el presupuesto es un día uno y otro dia otro. El anfitrión no debería tener voluntarios. Lo único que vale la pena son los perros. Intentamos hablar con él y que entienda pero no funciona. Tenemos pruebas para quien quiera pedirlas
