🌿🏡 Exchange, Community, and Good Ideas in São Paulo
The experience
Hello! For over eight years I have hosted people at my home via Airbnb and now I want to open this space also to volunteers in São Paulo. The proposal is to share day-to-day life with lightness, care, and good exchanges — helping in the house, with the plants, with creative ideas, and even in social projects. If you enjoy talking, cooking, nature, and collaboration, this could be a special place to live a true experience. ✨

Description:
The house where I live is in a highly valued area of the city because it is close to Paulista Avenue and downtown São Paulo. I pay the rent for the property and other expenses such as water, electricity, internet and cable TV. The fee will also help me provide basic foods, vegetables and fruits for the collective. I also plan to take short trips with the volunteers for ecological actions, and I will use part of the resources to make this possible.

Program Details
I am starting the program in April. I am quite flexible about schedules, but I would like that in the first week we do two hours of daily work together to familiarize ourselves with our way of thinking. We will have outdoor activities, a neighborhood tour, and for those staying more than a month I also plan ecological activities on the beach with free time to enjoy the sea and the sun.
Activities & Shift
Every day we will have activities such as organizing, cleaning, and some tasks we are carrying out that week, such as, for example: painting, gardening, organizing spaces, among others. The shifts are always daytime, preferably after 11 a.m.
Rules
I prefer awareness over rules, but since we come from diverse cultures, it would be good to note a few things such as quiet hours, from 11 p.m. to 8:30 a.m., and moderate sound or headphones. Smoking is allowed throughout the house, as we have good ventilation. Keep the bathrooms always clean. Keep the kitchen always clean, including dishes, the sink, and the stove. In short, with awareness and care these rules will be just guidelines. Even with these rules, exceptions are also foreseen as normal, as long as they are exceptions.
