The Experience

A ideia é transformar um espaço de 20 hectares num espaço de educação ambiental. Este espaço atualmente já recebe um manejo permacultural, onde os voluntários viverão o dia a dia de uma vida mais sustentável e assim conseguirão propor e montar atividades pedagógicas para todas as faixas de idade, além de ajudar a construir o espaço.

Diogo, Paloma and their family made me feel at home and as if I was there all my life. They are passionate about nature and the project they are building up. They try to teach you and help you in any task you want to do. Plus they shared a lot of info about nature and wildlife that was new to me as I was always in the city. The place and area is amazingly beautiful and very comfortable. You have lunch with them and some fun events at night with them too. like sharing dishes of your own country or just having a relax chat This was my first volunteer experience and it has been amazing!!!

The two weeks we spend at Neo@Rural were so amazing! Paloma and Diogo are new on Worldpackers but they organized this so well! They do really care about the volunteers well-being. You can really feel the lifeblood at this place! The variety of tasks was very huge! I wanted to try all of them, for everybody is a task to find. When we were not working, we spent our freetime in the beautiful casinha and enjoyed the nature with its view! Thank you so much again! We will come back one day :)

WOOOW!! Where should I start? It was a truely insane experience🤩The hosts Paloma and Diogo are extrem friendly and great, inspiring personalities! The location in very big and we had a small house for the volunteers. It is a great house with all the staff you need. Also the work was great and always different. So let us choose what we like to do the most.🥳THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this really nice time together. We came as volunteers and left as friends❤️

Só agradeço minha experiência no projeto durante esse período, aprendi muitas coisas sobre permacultura, me conectei com a natureza e com pessoas que levarei para sempre no meu coração. Diogo, o anfitrião, é um cara muito "maneiro", boa onda e sempre preocupado com o bem estar dos voluntários. Voltarei com certeza e recomendo muito que tenham essa experiência! 🙏🏽❤️
