My time spent at the project was definitely a challenging adventure that I can't wait to return to. As a fan of One Piece, there is nothing more inspiring than someone's will being so strong and a dream being so fantastical that he couldn't help but fulfill It. Christian is a true Sicilian Robinson Crusoe.

I highly do not recommend volunteering right now as the host is dealing with a lot of health issues so the project is a bit on pause and there is A LOT of tension with the host. I am grateful for all the volunteers I met.

Do it! It is the perfect way to connect with nature, to worship and enjoy every moment and learn to live the simple way! They live by the motto 'do what you want and don't do what you don't want'. Every day you can choose from painting to building to gardening, whatever feels right to you. No day is the same! What I liked most about my stay where the evenings sitting together by the fire and the beautiful spots Christian would show us that you wouldn't find on your own! The island is filled with magical beaches, viewpoints and mountains! Can't wait to come back!

I spent around 3 weeks at the eco adventure camp and one was as unique and enjoyable as the last :) After settling into the camp lifestyle and routine, the days start to flow, combining work, chores and lots of exploration. The host was more than happy to show us sicily, taking us to the multiple hidden gems that surrounded us. We visited some of the most beautiful natural wonders that otherwise would have been completely unbeknownst to me . This project was an incredible way to interact with the local community, see the beauty Sicily offers and do some meaningful work!

I spent nearly 3 weeks at the project, and as my first Worldpackers experience, it was great to live a slower day to day surrounded by nature and animals. Patti is stunning, and the people are so kind! It was lovely to connect with the other volunteers as well, while doing our daily tasks under the guidance of Christian. Everyday was a new experience, there was always something new to learn—I can finally say I know how to start a fire. Christian also gave us tours and showed us the hidden gems within the area. I am grateful for this opportunity to work towards this eco-project!

I had an amazing time here, not a single day was the same. If you're looking to disconnect from your routine and leave your mark on a meaningful project, I would definitely recommend this experience. The place is full of good energy, beautiful nature, and people who make you feel at home right away. Christian showed us some incredible spots and I always felt welcomed here. It's a place that stays with you even after you leave.

Staying at the project was a lovely opportunity to create new experiences with new amazing people, I was lucky enough to see many different beaches and see the best band play at the local restaurant. There's something different everyday, and there's a lot of freedom so you get out what you put into this project.

I spent a few weeks living at Eco the project and found it to be a great balance of simple living and cultural exchange. Accommodation is comfortable: everyone gets their own tent with lots of free space in nature — actually one of the highlights for me. If you're interested in learning about Sicilian life while meeting people from all over the world, this is a very rewarding experience.

When you arrive, you don't know what to expect, sleeping in a tent, cooking your meals on the fire, a compost toilet… these are the circumstances that you learn to adapt to, and if you have the right perspective, it can be an eye-opening experience. about the workload, “do what you want, don't do what you don't want” is the best way to describe it, depending on your abilities and preferences, you can make your own schedule, helping where you feel needed. Christian drove us to amazing beaches and local spots, it's fair to say that we fell in love with Sicily :)

I had a great time at the adventure-hil. no day was the same and you get to see new places in Sicily that you would not normally visit, like a beach that you can only reach by going through a cave. I would definitely recommend.
