Igor and Marinas house has an incredible view and is very well connected with nature. The work load is not too strenuous and you learn a lot about different types of building techniques. The beds are situated in a tent/shed separated from the main house and the wifi connection does not reach the tent. You also have to use the organic toilet which is situated 30m from the tent. Igor and Marina are both very lovely people and easy to get along with, but Marina can be a little cynical at times. I would definitly do it again if I had the chance!

It is a beautiful place to work surrounded by nature and gorgeous views. The hosts are friendly and the pick up from the train station is great. The food was also delicious and the working hours felt reasonable with plenty of breaks and flexibility. You get an opportunity to learn about sustainability and building a house. Marina is friendly but can be cynical at times. There's not a lot to do in the area but overall I had a great time and would recommend working there.

Igor and Marina are excellent hosts they make you feel right at home, delicious food an always fun company. I have learnt so many skills in construction which has developed my interest further. The surrounding nature will take your breath away and reset you with nature, Igor and marina are always willing to show you around! Communication is very good nothing is left unsaid so there is no bad energy in the air. I truly respect Igor and Marina and wish them the best in life!

Igor is the gem of a person ,he knows literally everything, he is a great teacher , I learnt lot of things from him. I am sure if you do volunteering with him you will be a better human being. Marina is very perfectionist so you can learn from her how to be perfectionist however you need to be very open minded with her and should know how to take feedback because she speaks blunt and with her heart out and she is hilarious person too. on the mountain, in the middle of the nature you will find yourself.

A experiência com o Igor e Marina foi incrível. Uma profunda imersão cultural. Aprendemos diversas coisas que vamos levar para vida. As horas e as tarefas eram flexíveis. Igor é uma pessoa que sabe muitas coisas, sobre construção, cavalos, e terapias.Uma excelente pessoa para conviver e estar perto. Marina é uma grande cozinheira e sempre tinhamos deliciosos momentos ao redor da mesa. Marina também é muito engraçada e sempre esta rindo com a gente. Com certeza essa passagem vai estar marcada nas nossas vidas. obrigado por tudo. nos vemos em breve.
