Andi and Mod were fantastic hosts. I had a wonderful time filming the beautiful area and the people who make it such a unique place. Getting to know the other residents / volunteers at a shared meal or exploring the local area were also huge bonuses. I hope I can come back one day!

My time at the project was incredible! I have gained so much worldly knowledge and was given opportunities to learn new skills as well as practice and fine tunes skills I already have. I felt very valued by the community and they made my time there very special to me. It was hard work but as a volunteer nothing was ever too much. The hosts were very understanding of my strengths and weaknesses and we were able to find the best activities for me. the project is a work of natural art, curated and designed by Andi Islinger The friends I made and the experiences we shared I will always cherish

I had a great time at the project and was able to learn and have insights in various different tasks that have to be done on the property. One day you are a road builder the other day you cut off tree's and the next day you deconstruct a wooden pavilion in Gold Coast. The vision that Andi has for the project is inspiring and has a lot of potential! You should definitely give it a go and maybe you will stay longer than you have imagined ;)

I have had the best time and learned so much over the past 6 weeks at the project! The hosts Mod and Andi were warm, welcoming, generous, and clear about expectations. We shared many delicious meals and fun times together. They taught me so much about environmental impact and permaculture. I gained many new skills and the experience was truly one that helped me grow, learn, and I will remember this time in the beautiful tropical rainforest FOREVER! A very magical place with rich history.
