I had such a great time staying at Lannie's the community with two other girls! It was such a unique experience, and I learned so much about the community, sustainability, and living a more simple lifestyle. Lannie was so welcoming, and I really enjoyed getting to slow down and connect with nature. She is such a bright soul. I also improved my Spanish a lot on this trip!

Lani is a wonderful, knowledgeable, wise, and truly special woman who has so much to teach you, not only about sustainability, but also about life. She welcomes you as if you were part of her family. She is very clear about the tasks, understanding, and patient.
The experience at the farm is beautiful and intense. You live completely immersed in nature. There is no bathroom or electricity, but you can get used to this lifestyle.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to be surrounded by nature, learn about tropical plants, and get closer to a more sustainable life!

Lannie was an amazing host and always made me feel very at home. She taught me a lot about plants and their medicinal benefits. I will take the knowledge that she has given me with me for the rest of my life. The tasks are very simple and easy. I had no cell service, but there is a market about a 5 minute walk away with wifi, and the walk to town is about 30 minutes. We were able to hitch hike very easily. If you're looking to connect with animals and nature, I'd definitely recommend this to you!!

Volunteering with Lannie is volunteering with nature. Lannie makes you part of her family in just a couple of hours. She has so many stories to tell and so much to teach about personal well-being and healthy eating! The place is very peaceful and inviting. There are no restrooms or showers, which wasn't a problem for me at all. Bathing in the creek has a special connection with nature. There are many beautiful areas to visit nearby and explore our beautiful country. I will definitely be back!
