This was my first volunteering experience and it was truly amazing. It definitely inspired me to volunteer more in the future. The tasks were manageable, and we had plenty of free time to ourselves once we finished our work around the house. Pedro is super laid-back and very flexible, especially if you're willing to help out beyond your assigned duties. While a bit more organization would have been nice, everything worked out completely fine in the end. I met some wonderful people hereโ€”you'll definitely have a great time if you come with a helpful attitude :))

I had such a great time at the guest house Surf Camp. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it really easy to feel part of the team. The location in Cascais was amazing, with such a great surf and outdoor lifestyle. I also really enjoyed the work, especially creating content and being around such a fun environment. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I'll definitely remember and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great surf camp experience!

My time here went by so quickly! I met so many amazing people and felt part of the community from the very beginning. Pedro is a super relaxed host, and the whole the guest house team is great. The work is very manageable and you still have plenty of free time to explore the area and enjoy your time here :) Thank you for letting me be part of this place! I felt very comfortable at the lodge and would definitely recommend coming here. As a volunteer, you also get the chance to surf โ€” we were able to join the surf sessions several times a week and really enjoyed it.
