Casa da Susan
My house is located on the Itacaré waterfront, close to the beaches, the restaurants and the nightlife — a perfect location for someone who wants to live the city on foot. And the best: there is a tiny house in the garden that will be all yours during your stay.
I am a calm, respectful, and very active person, but I just had a baby and my hands are currently quite full :) Therefore, I am looking for someone truly willing to help with my projects and with the daily routine of the house.
The place is still undergoing some adjustments, but it has a lot of charm and personality. If you enjoy living simply, in the heart of Itacaré, and you are ready to get involved for real, I think this could be a great exchange for both of us.
Currently, I have a small baby and I am looking for someone who can support me in different areas of day-to-day life. The main tasks involve help around the house (such as washing dishes, laundry, taking out the trash, small maintenance and, sometimes, cooking), in cleaning the ground-floor apartment I am renting and also on the site.
The site is a space under construction and care, with a lot of potential. There, tasks may include: cleaning the floor and the kitchen, watering the plants, fertilizing, taking care of the planted trees, using the brush cutter, clearing brush, and — if you know how — helping to build adobe walls or simple furniture. It may also be necessary to support with general maintenance, such as painting, applying oil, and small repairs.
Depending on the weather, we go to the site between 1 and 4 times per week. The car trip (20 minutes each way) is not included in the contribution hours.
If you like to roll up your sleeves, live simply and authentically and want to be part of a moving project, I think we can have a great exchange!
One very important thing: Since your house is only 1 meter away from our rooms and the guests' rooms, it is essential that there is absolute silence from 8:00. This means: no visitors, no phone calls and no noise of any kind.

An incredible experience at the house in Itacaré! 💛 We built a clay wall and she was a super attentive, funny, and welcoming hostess. The house in the center is beautiful. It’s worth noting that the work routine is quite active, so it's a great choice for those who like to roll up their sleeves and really get involved. The house, thank you for everything! 🌿

Our experience was very special, the house was wonderful with us and we stayed in a lovely little house in the center, near the beach! On some days, the work was more tiring in the bioconstruction part and demanded a lot from us, but also the result was very rewarding. We learned, contributed and lived moments that made this experience worth it. We are grateful for the opportunity and for the exchange during this period that extended beyond what was expected. My hug to this lovely family: Gianna, Carlos, the house and Buda ❤️ Gratitude ❤️

The house is incredible and teaches everything! The work is heavy, but rewarding, and she respects our limits. My fiancée and I had a lot of privacy in a beautiful house facing the sea. We learned to build a bioconstruction wall, use a drill, a jigsaw, cut bamboo, sift sand, and make the mortar. We also planted cassava, cleaned, and organized the house. The house was very clear about what was expected and always respectful. We have kept these learnings close to our hearts. See you soon! 🌊🧱💍✨

The house is an amazing, lively, communicative and respectful person. It was my first experience with bioconstruction, simply incredible; I managed to understand well all the teachings passed on and all the tasks well divided, and the schedules and days off were all very well arranged. The countryside house is a cozy refuge and everything was made with ecological materials; it was the first volunteer experience with so many personal and life knowledge that I will keep in my heart. I thank the house, Gianna, Carlos, Buda (the dog 🐕 protector) and your house for being so full of life and stories. See you soon! 😘🥰.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind review, Dominik. You are always welcome here! Hopefully we'll have the guest house here in the countryside finished soon, so that you also have a lovely retreat from the busy city life 🫶 All the best for your future - you'll surely get a wonderful job in Switzerland!
