Fer was an amazing host. She invited us in the carnival preparation with his friend and for a local Cardomblè fest. It was super amazing!

Fer is a wonderful woman, a natural leader. Her work with music connected me with people and with a way of appreciating music that I hadn't experienced before. I am really grateful to consider her a friend.

My days volunteering were great.. Nega is a kind, understanding and flexible person. I had never worked with construction before, and she really encouraged me to learn by getting my hands dirty, giving me all the confidence I needed! The space (her home) is very beautiful and comfortable. There is a well and a waterfall nearby and lots of nature... not to mention her pets, which are adorable. All of the arrangements were fulfilled! I really enjoyed the days I spent volunteering in Paraty with Nega!

The eco lodge is literally next to a wonderful waterfall, so close that some days I even went there to have my breakfast before starting work. Fernanda is very flexible with schedules, so you can enjoy a lot during the stay. Additionally, she introduced me to maracatu and carimbó, which I fell in love with, and we also walked together several times, we went to a beach/waterfall that was very nice and we enjoyed a festival that was happening in the city. It was a very rewarding and welcoming stay, I am very grateful.

The week we spent at Fernanda's house was very pleasant. She communicates very well and our work hours were respected, with a lot of flexibility. She also provided us with an immersion in Brazilian culture, which was very good!

Fernanda was an excellent host, unfortunately I had to be away for personal reasons.

I recommend the experience for people who are really willing to work hard and put in a lot of effort, who do not mind much about comfort and cleanliness, and for short stays. Unfortunately I had to leave volunteering earlier than planned due to personal reasons and communication no longer flowed, but even so it was a pleasure to be in the middle of nature and to have contact with the animals adopted by Fernanda.

It was a true cultural exchange. Fer is a person who is passionate about drums and Brazil's popular music, and this is what I take away from volunteering. The room is comfortable and clean, the place is beautiful; there are two waterfalls where you can relax. Unfortunately the breakfast is very meager; he told me that it included fruit, and I did not receive it on the days I was there. Ultimately, the work hours are respected. Thank you for the opportunity to beautify your capital 🏡

I found it really strange that you didn't eat the fruits; now I understand that you didn't find them in the basket on top of the fridge (away from the animals) because they remained available until the day you left. 🥺

The work is easy. Nega is very welcoming. Her house is surrounded by nature, it's a delight!
