The lodge fue mi primer voluntariado y lo agradezco infinitamente, me sentí parte de la tribu siempre🐴🐶🐶 tuve una convivencia hermosa con los voluntarios que ahora los considero amigos que me llevaré siempre en el 💚, es una locura de lugar, da para relajarse y sentirlo TODO, ver el atardecer, noches estrelladas, tomarte un buen cafesito, puedes caminar al pueblo sin problema y conocer lugares cerca de los ríos que están hermosos, el desayuno es una cosa de locos, muy buenas porciones y delicioso pan de masa madre.. etc. Aquí te nace hacer mucho más de las tareas definidas, GRACIAS Yambos

En el alojamiento tuve un periodo de volontariato increible, tanto por el lugar cuanto para la compañia. La estadia fue positiva y el tiempo pasó rapidamente, casi sin darme cuenta. Colaborar con Gabriel fue facil porqué teniamos las mismas intenciones, y ayudar en la huerta contribuió significativamente a mi crecimiento personal. Aconsejo mucho el alojamiento como lugar para hacer un voluntariado, ya que encontré un entorno respetuoso y amigable, que considera mucho el valor de la persona y de todas las personas, en su diversidad. Un Yamboabrazo y gracias de corazon por esa experiencia!

El alojamiento tiene un lugar en mi ♥️ mi llegada fue excelente, súper receptivos, buscando siempre que esté cómodo, y gracias al lugar, las instalaciones y la buena energía, todo fue posible. Las tareas fueron las acordadas y tambien se pudo coordinar para hacer otras cosas para poder seguir aprendiendo y mejorando otras habilidades. La ubicación hace que conectes con otra parte de ti, y te hace estar inmerso en la naturaleza. Súper recomendado!!! Gracias Gabriel, Ana y equipo (Yambo, Rasta y Campanita 🐕🐴)
