I am Rodolfo, a Carioca by birth and a sailor for more than 40 years. I spent much of my life at sea, I love traveling a lot and during a trip I ended up stopping in Vale do Matutu in Minas Gerais. I decided to live near the mountains and the local culture and I have been here for 7 years. I was enchanted by the simplicity, the exuberant nature and the special energy of this place. Today, I live a life more connected with the land, with the silence and the pace of things. Welcoming travelers is a way to continue exchanging stories, learnings and worldviews.

I felt very welcomed from day one. All the arrangements were fulfilled and the exchange was enriching. Rodolfo took me to discover amazing places and shared his knowledge about the local culture and other curiosities. I carry this experience in my heart.

Dodo é um anfitrião incrível, muito atencioso, animado em interagir e apresentar os lugares, ficamos amigos desde o primeiro dia e a experiência foi muito acolhedora, fui recebida como família 💛 Combinamos da troca no hostel incluir algumas reformas, pintura e arte. O vale do matutu é encantador e já é minha terceira experiência por aqui, uma casa pra mim!! 🌻 Gratidãoo demais

Os próximos voluntários devem saber que será apenas ele(a) e o anfitrião 24/7. Terá que dividir o chalé com o mesmo, pois o outro chalé não tem luz. Sendo eu mulher, me senti muito desconfortável, insegura e por várias vezes desrespeitada. As conversas nunca fluíam, sempre na defensiva, prejudicando minha estadia, e saúde mental.
