My time at Papasao's has been short and sweet! From the moment I arrived the farm showed me so much kindness and made me feel welcome. The work with the farm has been very chill and at our own pace. the farm has showed us how to make a hut from bamboo, how to cook on the fire and showed us some of his beautiful village. If you want to spend some time in nature learning to live with the basics you will love papas farm. the farm is one of the most generous and funniest people I have met and I've really enjoyed my time here. It's a see you later not goodbye the farm🤍

It was one of the best experiences of my life. the farm is one of the kindest human beings I've ever met, truly compassionate and with open heart, always making sure that you are enjoying, happy and not hungry (which is essential🤣). My time with the farm has brought me to connect with the local culture and people, especially his family and friends, learning about farming, building in a sustainable way, as well as an vast knowledge he has about the forest and handmade crafts. As he says in his profile, the work is up to you, and here was my second home. Thank you the farm, see you again ✨

I had amazing experience in the farm, one of the beautiful places I ever been. I had a bungalow who sitting in front of incredible green rice fields, and from behind a fresh river to shower in. the farm was lovely and nice all the time. Really recommended to people who want time for they self and for nature. The food was good (very very simple) but it's fits the experience Thank you! :)

I really loved my time in Papasao's farm. I learned a lot about the life on the farm and had a lot of time to work on the field. Papasao is a kind person and always made sure that I was okay and always reminded me that I should treat his farm like a second home. I felt welcomed and I loved his cooking, he made sure that I was never hungry. Papasao took me to the mountains and introduced me to his family, with whom I spent a lot of time with. At the end of my stay I didn't want to leave. I'm already missing the view to the mountains so much. I definitely recommend this experience to anyone!
