We come as a couple and honestly it was a beautiful experience. Ana Paula is a lovely person, super kind and friendly, interested in creating a nice space for socializing, empathetic, entrepreneurial, and very helpful.
We would love to come back soon! 🙌🏻

Ana Paula is an amazing person with big heart and incredible stories to tell! This was my first experience, I was looking for balance, freedom and true connection - and I totally found those. She was always respecting my time, was always ready to help, show me new things and beautiful places. There are several ways you can assist her and it's a good chance to explore &express yourself. Especially if someone's into krafts! You need to like cats, enjoy the calmness of a sweet village and ready to build up a meaningful relationship. Thank you, Ana, for the experience, I'm sure we'll be ín touch

Our experience with Ana was very good. She is very kind, attentive, and speaks several languages. We talked in Spanish and French, and she also taught us some words in Portuguese. We really enjoyed sharing this time with her and her cats. Ana rescues many cats, so it is important to be comfortable with the care and cleaning. We also helped with household chores, food, plants, and crafts. The location is great for getting to know São Martinho, Nazaré, Óbidos, and Alcobaça. We are very grateful for the experience!

We had a great experience at Ana Paula's house! 😊 She welcomed us very warmly, is friendly and helpful, and speaks Spanish, English, French and Portuguese, which makes communication much easier.

The routine included cleaning the litter boxes, sweeping and wiping, helping with meals and organizing the garage/workshop. At night, we cleaned the boxes and watered the garden.

The cats are adorable, especially the kittens! 🐱❤️ The house is old and can have quite a bit of dust and accumulated objects, so you need to be willing to clean regularly.

Thank you, Ana Paula, for the great experience! 😊

Ana Paula, or as I have learned to call her: Dona Ana, is an incredible and formidable person. If she sees in you a spark of will, interest, respect and commitment, she will give you the best that anyone can offer; an unforgettable person!
As for the activities, Dona Ana is flexible and everything is resolved through frank and transparent conversations. The tasks are simple and very pleasant, especially with cats, which I will never forget, especially my Mamaita 🖤
It was a great first volunteering experience and I am immensely grateful for this learning that I will carry with me for life!
