About the experience in: Castiadas, Italy
United States
The project was beautiful, Marius provided great facilities to stay in and high quality ingredients for volunteers to cook with. I enjoyed harvesting olives and working with Aaron and Rosa, who taught us lots and were utterly lovely. I was bothered by things that occurred during my stay. People were told to leave on short notice when they voiced an issue and there was a lack of appreciation for volunteers and a general sense that we were being tested and pushed to our limit both physically and mentally. I was also nearly stranded as I was scheduled to leave on a day that no buses came to town.

Thanks for harvesting olives, Elli. I’m glad you enjoyed learning from Aaron and Rosa.
I didn’t cancel anyone’s stay at short notice or ask anyone to leave. Please say who you mean and what happened.
When your bus didn’t come, I drove you to catch one. I can’t control the schedule. I’m surprised you mention nearly being stranded but omit the lift.
I take your concerns about feeling underappreciated and pushed to your limits seriously. I never meant to test anyone’s limits, physical or mental.

This expirance was intresting. I chose to go hear to learn more about eco living and nature aswell as somatic expiraince. I found this opitunity amazing and really enjoyed having chill time hear. The place is a remote location which made the busses a little difficult and stress full so i would sugest u check ur arrival and leaving plans properly and make sure u have essentals u need for ur time as theres only one small shop around. There are also no hostels in the capital. The food that was provided was top quality. I found it nice that we all had days of together as a group.

The project war meine allererste Freiwilligenstelle, und ich hätte mir keinen schöneren Einstieg wünschen können. Besonders die Menschen und die Schönheit des Ortes haben diese Zeit so besonders gemacht. Ein großes Dankeschön an Rosa und Aaron – bei euch habe ich mich von Anfang an wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Auch die Gruppe war toll, und die Katzen natürlich:)))
