Life in the countryside is deeply rewarding: fresh air, organic gardens, sun-filled days, and a rhythm that connects you back to yourself. Here at EcoCostel, I offer not just a volunteering opportunity but also a place for authentic connection and the potential to create a beautiful shared life together.
Regardless of your dietary preferences, you’ll have the opportunity to experience healthy, uncomplicated meals crafted from fresh, local produce. Through my own seven years of experience, I have come to realize that raw veganism works best as a temporary method for healing and detoxifying the body, rather than as a long-term lifestyle. While short periods of raw vegan eating can bring powerful benefits like physical cleansing, renewed energy, and improved mental clarity, my personal experience showed that following such a strict diet for many years can eventually cause imbalances. Today, I maintain a natural, plant-based diet with seasonal, locally-grown foods, focusing on sustainable health and well-being rather than extreme practices.
