This is a very special volunteering experience. You will learn many life lessons: from appreciating the value of hard work to deepening your connection with nature. The work is sometimes tiring but the beauty of the location keeps you going. Samara is a very special person with a strong personality, I really enjoyed helping her. I hope that I've helped make the place even more beautiful even with a small contribution.

La experiencia fue hermosa, relamente hice una familia lejos de casa, me sentí muy bien recibida y conocí personas increibles :) Aprendí mucho sobre cocina regional y a falar minereis. La habitación muy comoda. Los anfitriones, hermosas personas, están abiertos a conversar, a ideas y a compartir. Gratidão! Conecté mucho con la gente y la naturaleza. Me siento tan bien, que extendí mi estadía! Un hogar en Brasil, brigada!

Foi minha primeira experiência pelo Worldpackers e como eu estava de férias, mergulhei com tudo e aprendi muitas coisas: desde trabalho de roça até restaurante, cozinha e hóspedes. o sítio as o sítio são fantásticas e tem comida boa! Mas o que faz um lugar são as pessoas, me conectei imensamente com Dona Lígia e Karol o sítio cozinha, e com Ori e Moritz - os outros voluntários. Eu sinto que fiz uma família nesse lugar e até não queriam me deixar ir embora hahaha a estadia de um mês se transformou em quase 2 de muita evolução e transformação. Muito obrigada!
