About the experience in: Province of Piacenza, Italy
Ukraine
My experience at the the eco village village village was unforgettable! I was given a car lift near the train station on first and last day of my stay. I was really welcomed by the local population of the village. Although only several people there speakEnglish, it wasn't a problem for me there with no knowledge of Italian as we found our own ways of communication with everyone.The area is a perfect getaway from the busy city life. I arrived there during the heatwave so the managers didn't put a lot of work and I had a lot of time for myself to relax near the natural swimming pool or go around on a bike or meet new people!

This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have asked for a better community!Federico was a wonderful host as well as his wife Alice, the accommodation was private and comfortable, and the tasks were simple. They ranged from helping in the kitchen to cleaning up the outside and church. The entire village made me feel welcomed and apart of the team. I was fascinated by their knowledge on the human body and spirituality. I was a bit skeptical about trying a vegan diet but Chef Marco's food was amazing! I hope to return someday after I practice my italian!

The cordiality and help from the community were exemplary. The support and help with the assigned tasks motivated us to undertake the activities with greater commitment, vegan foods were always delicious, and the meditation we practiced gave us more opportunities to connect with the place, and we likewise wish to return in the future.
