ENGLISH: I need diligent helpers who see working as fun and not only as a possibility to save money on accommodation. You come as a volunteer and leave as a friend. Preferably you are experienced in working on construction and all kinds of repairs. We agree on all you would like to experience and on what I need to be done before you start and I guide you in all you don't know how to do. You come as a trainee and leave with the knowledge that may help you in your private, but also in your professional future life. If you are experienced you will be treated as an expert and your ideas will be considered as a future friend coming back home. ESPAGÑOL: Tengo necessita de gente que quieren trabvajar y no solo buscan un accommodation. Vienes como voluntario/a y te vas como amigo/amiga. Preferiblemente, has ya trabajado en construcción y todo tipo de reparaciones. Pero, si no sabes cómo hacer algo de trabajo, no problema. Me gustaría darle una guía sobre cómo hacerlo. Usted viene como aprendiz y se va con el conocimiento que puede ayudarlo en su vida privada, pero también en su vida profesional futura. Si tiene experiencia y está dispuesto a ser un experto y sus ideas serán consideradas como recomendaciones de amigos.

Maida es muy puntillosa con las formas de hacer ls trabajos y a su vez es muy flexible dependiendo de las capacidades de cada persona, es una persona muy culta con la cual se puede aprender mucho y se preocupa por hacerte conocer todas las cosas de la zone, una experiencia inolvidable

It was a very good experience to spend these days in this voluntary exchange and help in the little things I could.

I wish Maida all the best and that he can connect with people that can help her in the different activities she needs.

Tiago is a nice, kind and quiet person. He is a decent worker and great in taking feedback (which many taje hard).

Tiago did mainly gardening as there was no other work but he also helped making some order in the construction materials and flea market items.

Tiago is very neat and clean, quiet and independent cohabitant and l could recommend him to any host as he would do always his best to do the agreed tasks.

I wish Tiago many good experiences and generally all the best for his future!

Maida es una persona increible, al principio puede ser un poco dura contigo, pero después ella siempre te recompensa con el trabajo que haz hecho, me ha encantado estar allá y volvería mil veces, Maida es una persona maravillosa he increíble siempre recordare cuando nos tomábamos helado 😝, me hice una nueva amiga en mi viaje y espero volver a verla, la recomiendo 100% si quieres hacer un voluntariado por Europa.

Jhonathan is a great helper. He followed all my work requests and did his best to fight an overgrown fences and trees. It took him long as the tools were too weak for the work but he never gave up.
I recommend Jhona as a kind, decent and endurable helper and very nice companion.
Hope to see him again 😁.

Durante estas 2 semanas y medias hemos aprendido mucho. Maida es una mujer muy buena, se preocupa mucho por sus anfitriones y siempre esta disponible para ayudar con lo que sea. A la hora del trabajo es muy exigente,COMO DEBE SER!!asi que si tienes pensado en que vas a ir de vacaciones sin hacer nada buscate otro destino. Las tareas no son complicadas pero hay que cumplir siempre las horas acordadas. Experiencia muy recomendable!!

Jorge and Carolina were very punctual, responsible, task-orienyed and we'll dealing with feedback.
We agreed on working times so they could have free time to explore and travel around in the beautiful places of the 3 countries and they did a lot because they are very independent and say. It was great pleasure to meet them and be their host and l hope they will always find good hosts in the future. Wishing both all the best for future and thanking them for their diligent help. Sending hugs. Mai

Maida é uma mulher incrível, uma inteligência fora da curva, fala 6 ou 7 idiomas, e se preocupa com seus voluntários, ela integra a todos, se preocupa com a alimentação saudável, diversas vezes eu estava trabalhando e ela me levava um chá, uma água..
Eu super recomendo o local de Maida e o trabalho, mas já aviso, se for para lá, conversa com ela previamente sobre as horas, sobre as regras e o trabalho, pois como todo ser humano tem defeitos, Maida mesmo sendo incrível, tem dificuldades em expressar seu descontentamento, para evitar isso, é só seguir as regras e falar sobre tudo, ela vai ouvir.
