This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was awesome. Sonia is a force of nature and her story, energy, and commitment are very inspiring. I loved working in the garden and fully enjoyed the beauty and quietness of the place. For me, it was a great way to recharge my batteries and reconnect with nature. Travellers, beware of mosquitoes and other insects, so don't forget to bring some strong repellent. Thank you for everything, Sonia!

Foram ótimos os dias no Sitio o sítio. O local passa por uma reestruturação e foi bom poder contribuir para o crescimento local. Sônia é uma ótima anfitriã, me deixou muito a vontade, e cheia de histórias pra contar

Mi experiencia en la granja fui muy enriquecedora. Aprendí sobre sustentabilidad, como trabajar la tierra, como aprovechar al máximo los recursos recibidos por la naturaleza y cuidado de gallinas. Además tuve una linda relación con Sonia y sus amigos que conocí, todos muy lindas personas. disfrute mucho mi tiempo en Brumadinho, todo es muy tranquilo en el campo. Muy agradecido del tiempo y espacio compartido.

Minha experiência no sítio, foi muito boa eu gostei muito. O trabalho foi tranquilo e flexível. As folgas a Sônia recomendou ser no dia em que o Inhotim tem entrada gratuita, para que o voluntário possa visitar. A Sônia é uma mulher incrível, acolhedora, bem humorada e me ensinou a fazer massa de pizza. Rsrs Eu recomendo muito, passar uma temporada no sítio, conhecer a Sônia e suas histórias, conhecer o Inhotim e conhecer a cidade de Brumadinho, andar pelo centro, ir na Casa de Memória.
