Second volunteering experience in the host. My first time was just gardening. Now also as a host, taking care of the house and helping the artists to settle in there and facilitating the life of the group. This is, of course, a bit more challenging than taking care of a bunch of silent immobile cacti :) But while it can be challenging (especially in the midst of the string of storms we had!), it\'s also exciting to spend a few weeks with an eclectic group of artists from all over the world, with whom you end up forming unexpected bonds. Intense worthwhile experience again.

An intense experience. The house location is awe-inspiring; the views and sunsets are a daily spectacle. Some of the best hikes of my life. The gardening tasks were enjoyable (lots of succulents) and well-managed. Friendly Joachim and Uschi made me feel at home with their kindness and hospitality. Their project is beautiful: opening the doors of the house so that artists from all over the world have the opportunity to live and work together. Uschi is also a great artist, I learned a lot listening and watching how she approaches her work. A friendly calm cat lives there too: Pietri. So good!

I really enjoyed my experience at the host! The location is amazing, perfect if you want to clear your mind and think about your projects. Joachim and Uschi are welcoming and I felt like home. Thanks!
