Amazing Very organized host, you choose between varied tasks that can be done at your time, in the sun, in the shade or covered. It's a relaxing, easy and introspective work. Good accommodations that respect your privacy. You choose your foods on a weekly list for cooking. The place is beautiful and just 6kms from the center of Valdivia and the Botanical Garden and museums that can be reached by bike or taxi. Don Gonzalo studies and works over 30 years with plants and loves to share his knowledge, very calm and kind with volunteers, always asks you if you are happy! Host five stars

Fausto y Giovana, se integraron como parte de la familia. Fueron súper atentos y respetuosos en todo momento ayudando en todo cuanto podían, muchas veces aun sin tener que pedirles la ayuda o hacer cosas ellos las hacían lo cual se agradece mucho. Fue un mes que transcurrió tal vez demasiado rápido... una experiencia muy familiar y humana, donde queda como resultado un profundo agradecimiento de todo corazón por toda la energía compartida aquí tanto en el trabajo, como también con la familia.

Well, it's hard to say something about the experience with Philippe and his family because they are AMAZING !! The best experience that I had as volunteer I stayed 1 month and learned a lot of Chilean culture and spanish language as well. The family need a help so You will work hard with bees, horticulture, chickens, hostel, etc. The place is so close to the wonderful lake and theatre with a amazing view of Osorno Volcano. Frutillar is very small and cultural city with a lots of beautfull places to go I miss so much they guys and they are in my heart 💓 forever !!!!!

Mario is a very friendly person. It was very hard to finish a conversation with him because every time I learned so much about the history of Chile, Mapuches and of course Spanish language. The work is not hard but there are a lots of things to do so keep in mind that you will go to work but at night you will have a funny moments with volunteers in comun area. We went a Osorno volcano at Sunday this is very close.

About me as an author

Hello, I'm Fausto and I started a new life on 11/2018 with my wife and my little dog Kin crossing the americas in a motorhome doing volunteer work to know the culture of the places and also to save money. I worked with Ecotourism, I am biologist and teacher so I love being in nature, meeting people and sharing my knowledge and experiences with them. I will be happy to help you! Olá eu sou Fausto e iniciei uma nova vida em 11/2018 junto com minha esposa e meu cãozinho Kin cruzando as Américas em um motorhome fazendo trabalho voluntário para conhecer a cultura dos lugares e também para economizarmos. Trabalhei mais de 10 anos com Ecoturismo, sou Biólogo e professor portanto amo estar na natureza, conhecer pessoas e compartilhar meu conhecimento e experiências com elas.

Background

Education

Graduado em Biologia, Especialização e Mestrado em Ensino de Ciências.

Work experience

Trabalhei com ecoturismo por cerca de 15 anos, sendo guia de trilha, instrutor de Rafting e Rappel. Paralelamente ao trabalho de guia de ecoturismo, desde 2005 até 2018 exerci função de professor de Ciências e Biologia em escolas da rede privada e pública de ensino, sendo meu foco a experimentação e o uso de tecnologias no ensino (games).

Travel experience

Fui um obcecado escalador de rocha durante 15 anos, o que me levou a conhecer diversos lugares selvagens pelo Brasil. A escalada também me levou a residir por um ano e meio na Nova Zelândia, onde trabalhei este período em um Hotel e como voluntario no The Salvation Army
