Michelle and her family are quite a find. Truly humble and intelligent people that I would like to have spent more time with. The tasks where fine and easy to do but sometimes it was difficult to manage with the video and photography job since good work takes time and overall it was a great experience. Thank you for everything

Thank you to Michelle and family for making my stay so welcoming and memorable. the guest house is the perfect place to leave city life behind and reconnect with nature. I was lucky enough to stay in one of the apartments, which was super-comfy, a real treat! I loved the delicious lunches courtesy of Michelle and Thomas and all of our chats about music, food, life. Need to drive to get around, but alternatively, you can hop on a bicycle or jog (like I did). The work was a mix and sometimes sporadic, but manageable once discussed. Added bonus: the two friendly doggies 💜

Michelle is a great host she makes you feel at home, the guest house a great place to collaborate, super nice in a quiet valley near Caldas da Rainha. If you love nature and want to have an inmersive experience on a nice valley in Portugal this is your place. The work was as expected. Michelle and her family are super kind

This was my first ever Worldpacker experience and it was amazing. Michelle was nothing but kind and welcoming. I really enjoyed getting to spend the time that i did with them and getting to know her family. From bowling, to the conversations we had in the car, to enjoying pizza night on the couch with the kids, thank you! It was super interesting to get a different perspective on life. It's an experience I will never forget. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best in life. Hope to come again some time in the future <3 ( with drivers license ) - Fred

Michelle and her family super nice and friendly. the guest house was a good place to slow down and enjoy nature a bit. Tasks weren't hard, sometimes you need to improvise and assume what you need to do than told. Less structured work and more spread at random time within days, but also there is a car for volunteers to use and explore around. There are always minor setbacks, but overall good experience
