Volunteer as part of a small community in Southern France. We are situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees close to the Mediterranean Sea.

My time at the home was outstanding. I met many different people and could experience the impact of different group dynamics and how to work together as a community. I learned a lot about how to include more sustainable mechanisms into your everyday life, about veganism and the concept of permaculture. The food was incredible and the daily tasks in the house and with the animals / plants are fulfilling. I would recommend this to anyone! My advice is to bring long trousers against moscitos and some anti histamin pills if you're allergic. Also biodegradable products.

Where do I begin! I felt very much welcomed at the home from the beginning. I got a tour of her property and settled in right away. I respect the way Namua lives and just her as a person so much. The daily tasks are easy going and meditative. From my experience I got to work with wonderful humans and learned a lot with them as we went along. What is amazing to me is that everything on her property works for a reason. It gave me a whole new insight on sustainability! I couldn't have asked for anything else on my journey here. Thank you Namua!

Namua cares deeply for the animals she looks after and works hard to create a safe space for them. She also prepared diverse vegan meals, opening my mind to the different tastes of plant-based cooking. However, there were some challenges. The tools and materials weren't always ideal, making tasks harder. Communication was difficult at times, as her sarcastic replies made me hesitate to ask questions. Additionally, her comments about past volunteers sometimes left me wondering how I might be spoken about after I left. Still, I'm grateful for the experience and what I learned. Thank you, Namua

Namua is an interesting host who is passionate about sustainability and community. The tasks were fulfilling and gave me a chance to learn new skills and connect to nature. It's important to follow her specific methods and be open to critical feedback. It's a great experience to learn about animals, nature and community. The food was absolutely fantastic and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful! I loved meeting like-minded people and exploring the nearby areas. If you're adaptable and eager to learn, this is an experience I recommend! :)

The home is a great place to learn about sustainability, get used to a slower pace of life & meet like-minded people. Namua offers three delicious meals a day & it's inspiring to talk to her about her lifestyle choices. Her communication style is very direct in terms of recieving & offering feedback - so that's something you should be able to handle. Volunteers are expected to teach new volunteers about the tasks & projects, which causes errors to occur quite frequently in my opinion. I've really enjoyed this as my first worldpackers experience. Also, the mountains and village are beautiful!

Unforgettable experience: -met amazing people. -learned a lot about environmental awareness & permaculture lifestyle. -ate delicious & healthy food. -explored the surroundings full of beautiful nature and few water pools. It was assumed we knew how to complete tasks that were familiar to her, but not to us, so in some cases, we felt restrained from asking twice. Other than that, it's an experience I tremendously recommend and needs to be lived in your own skin! Thank you Namua for letting me stay in your home with your beautiful children (the animals) <3

Memorable and fulfilling experience. Namua's amazing cooking and humour were definite highlights. Tasks often felt rewarding. Although we volunteered during a challenging time, it taught me valuable lessons about the rewards and challenges of permaculture. The long hours were crucial for the crops' survival, but as things calmed, the atmosphere improved. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves animals, cares about the planet, can accept criticism with a positive mindset while maintaining their own sense of confidence. Extending my stay is a testament to how much I enjoyed it. Thank you, Namua!

I spent a really lovely month with my girlfriend at the home! Namua's farm is in an incredibly beautiful region of Southern France. The farm is an exceptional and educational model for a sustainable lifestyle. Work is reasonable and the responsibility to keep everyone and everything alive and comfortable is of the highest priority! Although our hours were generally well-respected, sometimes a lack of clarity on days off and tasks to be done made it hard to keep on top of everything in time. Volunteers are expected to organise this between themselves and it was not always successful.

We would recommend this experience with Namua on her small farm. We had lots of fun with other travelers, Namua and the animals and we felt always respected and welcomed during our stay. The working hours were always respected and the tasks are easy and sometimes also creative. The food is always delicious and vegan and her homemade Chutneys are a dream! During your free days you can explore the nearest cities, the mountains and the waterfall very easily. We had a nice time with everyone at the farm and we will always remember this experience!

The home Forest Garden is truly unique, seamlessly blending with nature. Work hours and free days were respected, tasks, while not overly difficult, required significant responsibility. The charming animals, picturesque landscape, and enriching community experience made our stay memorable. Despite differing vegan cuisine, we enjoyed Namua's distinct cooking. We express sincere gratitude for the opportunity to stay at the home, recommending it to those intrigued by Namua's work and eager to embrace her lifestyle.
