A multidisciplinary macro project in the middle of nature sounds like a good plan? Then don’t stand there with your arms crossed, but come to support us! Whether you are a garden expert, a builder, or a handyman who feels comfortable fixing a bit of everything, we expect worldpackers with at least a minimum experience working in the garden, as well as a high degree of independence and self-sufficiency in the role. We are always there to advise and teach how to carry out the tasks. On the other hand, we are open to new proposals for improvements in the system. In the garden there is always work and we love people who, at a glance, can read the needs of the garden and prioritize the tasks.
