Cal Guerxo

Cal Guerxo offers a unique opportunity to experience life in a remote and tranquil village in the Spanish Pyrenees. If you’re looking to escape the busyness of modern life and reconnect with nature, this is the perfect place for you. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and magical landscapes, you’ll find peace and inspiration.
As a volunteer, you’ll become part of our family for a month or two, helping us with daily tasks (cleaning anda cooking once in week days) and spending time with our 11-year-oldson, Kauê. This experience is ideal for those who love the outdoors, enjoy cooking, and have a passion for engaging with children. You’ll have your own private room and plenty of time to explore the area, whether it’s hiking with our friendly dog, Maya, cycling through the hills, or simply relaxing in our biophilic-designed home and garden.
This is a chance to immerse yourself in a slower pace of life, share your talents—whether artistic, sporting, culinary, or otherwise—and experience the joy of living simply and meaningfully.

We are a family of three: Emmanuel (Belgian), Juliana (Brazilian), and our son Kauê. Emmanuel works as a regenerative design guide, and Juliana is a teacher, singer, and dancer. Together, we’ve created a warm and welcoming home filled with love, creativity, and a strong connection to awareness and nature. Our small garden follows permaculture principles, and our home’s interior design reflects our passion for living in harmony with the environment.
Volunteers will be treated with respect, kindness, sincerity and care. To integrate the volunteers is part of our goal family, and we’ll ensure that your stay is enjoyable and enriching. We value open communication and will work together to create a balanced schedule that includes personal time.
We’re happy to share some of our passions and practices with you, such as Hand in Hand parenting, Zen meditation, Belgian dishes, singing classes, or Chi Kung. We aim to create a positive and nurturing environment where you’ll feel at home.

It was a very beautiful experience. From day one they made us feel at home, and we felt the freedom to manage our time as long as we had fulfilled our tasks.

Our experience with this family was deeply special. Juliana, with her kindness and sensitivity, made us feel welcomed from the first day. Manu, always attentive even with his full schedule, supported us in everything, guided us, lent us his car, and treated us with a generosity that we will never forget. And Kauê, with his tenderness and intelligence, gave us unique moments, even teaching me Catalan with enthusiasm. This volunteer experience left us with lessons, affection, and precious memories. We recommend it 100% and would return without hesitation. ❤️

One of my best experiences with Worldpackers is that they are a very interesting family, with topics of diverse natures to talk about, board games, time for personal activities, very pleasant places to go for a walk; Emmanuel is one of the best chefs I have known; Kaue is an intelligent boy with many things to teach! I found, among coffee and the cold mornings, excellent company to talk about deep topics and very interesting points of view with Juliana. I really appreciate every moment and I am grateful that they have allowed me to live with them during this month!!

Overall, I had a good time. It wasn't easy to get to know the family as I felt there wasn't any interest in getting to know me. I had much freedom on when to do chores, but I found it quite weird for me to wake up to a dirty kitchen (that I had to clean up) or having to clean dishes and pans that I did not use. I expected from them to at least pick up and clean if something falls, wash their own dishes, pans, help with laundry and unload the dishwasher. It wasn't "assisting" with chores. Family rules, eating habits, and how to deal with the kid (as he has different needs) should be explained.

Estar en la casa fue una experiencia retadora, divertida e impactante, me sentí parte de la familia, y me sentí bienvenida y querida; las actividades por realizar son varias, durante el día, recomendaría estar al pendiente de las horas de trabajo por parte del voluntario y del anfitrión, pues al vivir en el mismo espacio en el que colaboras, puede sentirse que no terminas de trabajar. Gracias familia la casa, por las experiencias y momentos vividos, lo llevo en el corazón.
