The Experience

We are looking for a female volunteer who wants an experience in the countryside, a very quiet place with animals. The volunteering would be for that person only. It has to be for someone who is seeking tranquility. The tasks basically involve day-to-day cleaning, feeding the animals, and tending the garden. It's a beautiful and peaceful place. The volunteer's room is an attic that overlooks the living room of the house. The highest point measures 160 cm.

The experience on the farm was very nice. Lydia and Goyo are very good people. It is a project that has a lot of strength and potential. Thank you for taking such good care of nature and for making my stay such a pleasant moment.

My stay at the finca was wonderful. Goyo and Lydia are very warm, attentive and respectful people; Lydia, in particular, is an admirable woman from whom you learn a lot about what it means to live in a country house. The tasks adapt to whatever is needed at the moment, but nothing is complicated. I enjoyed helping with the animals a lot, but without a doubt, the most valuable thing was sharing everyday life: the tasks, the meals and the conversations were invaluable experiences. Also, you really appreciate how tasty they both cook, because that lets you access the local culture.

I'm going to be at a loss for words because it's impossible to sum up how amazing this experience was. From the first minute I felt super comfortable and cared for. Lydia and Goyo are incredibly generous hosts with everything, funny and affectionate; at all times they make you feel at home! I learned a lot about life on the farm and the hard, constant work it demands, but how comforting it is. I already miss Gucci, Channel, Tronca, Simon... and all the beautiful little animals that live there. Sharing the experience with Estefania (another volunteer) was also a plus! Thanks to everyone!!

What can I say about this wonderful experience! It was my first volunteer experience using this platform and it set the bar very high.
The finca is a beautiful, tranquil, and special place, just like the people who live there. Lidia and Goyo are wonderful people and I enjoyed living with them.
From day one they offered me delicious and nutritious vegetarian food. Goyo cooks spectacularly (and Lydia isn't far behind!). They gave me total flexibility on my days off to be able to run errands in the city.
The tasks are very simple, although they may require some strength. It's enjoyable all the same.

The experience on the farm was wonderful. They really made me feel at home. Thanks for such a lovely stay, for such a beautiful reception and for such lovely conversations!
I leave happy to be able to see the birth of the kids, the interaction with the animals on the farm, and, of course, the delicious dishes they cooked. I truly enjoyed the stay, the rest, and getting to know them. I leave completely grateful.
