Volunteering at Espaço Amor was important. With Yara, I learned about sustainability and Buddhism, experiences I look for in my volunteering. She invited me to participate in several activities and gave me tips about the city. This volunteering is great for anyone who needs to balance it with work. Thank you for the warm welcome and kindness, Yara.

Espaço do el anfitrión is a quiet, pleasant place near beautiful nature. Yara is a painter with several years of experience, calm and kind, she likes to meditate and has a very cute kitten. The hours are fair and the tasks simple; she relies on different activities such as cleaning and organizing. In the free hours you can enjoy Boiçucanga, from the beach to its beautiful cascades, learn Buddhist meditation if you dare and more activities. Thanks for the opportunity!

A Yara welcomed us very well to her space, she was very attentive and helpful. It’s worth saying that Yara is a fantastic artist, and some of her tasks involve painting. The volunteer work is fair and the working hours are respected. The host is in Boiçucanga, a neighborhood an hour from the center of São Sebastião; I took a municipal bus that cost R$2.40 to get there. I recommend the experience to everyone!

Yara is a person who not only shared her space but also her routine and daily life. From the beginning, everything was very transparent: the times and agreements were always respected, with a great lightness in daily life. I never felt I was fulfilling obligations — but rather collaborating with the house in a natural way. We spent time together on outings, to beaches, barbecues, meetups with friends and good conversations. In addition to all the practical experience, I carry with me something very valuable: the contact with Buddhism, which she kindly introduced me to and which opened up new reflections. Thank you Yara and Onça!

The house is old and in need of a lot of maintenance; it's not accommodation, it's her house. It's just cleaning and tidying up her house. I think Yara should do something like Couchsurfing, because it seems what she needs is company; she is a person with a lot of free time, these are things she could do herself. The situation became uncomfortable and I had to leave. Anyway, thank you for the private room! I will surely continue enjoying your country, your culture, and the GOOD energies in another place! my first bad experience as a volunteer in Brazil :(

She didn't read the listing for a studio and a beach house. Diana's volunteer dedication was mediocre. I always had to finish the work she left unfinished. It seems to me that she doesn't have much awareness of how costly it is to maintain a space and of the value of the lodging I provided in exchange. She would leave the fan on in the room when she left. She broke two brooms during cleaning and only replaced one. It ends up not making up for the money I saved with these services. This isn't Couchsur.

The host is a true refuge of peace, care, and beauty. A place where nature embraces every detail and invites rest, inspiration, and a deep connection with the surroundings. The proximity to the beach, with its constant and soothing sound, and to the waterfalls, which bring freshness and vital energy, transform the stay into a unique and unforgettable experience. The hostess, an amazing artist, imprints her essence in everything she does: in the aesthetics of the space, in the creative details, and in the human and generous way of receiving.

Yara is an incredibly talented multidisciplinary artist; I felt very inspired. She was super welcoming and kind to me even during a delicate moment. She has a lot of knowledge and rich stories.
The work was flexible and respected.
The surroundings are very pleasant, full of nature and close to the beach, with shops and transportation also easily accessible.
I loved meeting Boiçucanga; it's incredibly calm and safe. I'm taking away many good memories despite the short time.

My first experience was incredible. I helped touch up some of Ya's paintings, and I cleaned the space and the house. The garden is amazing, with lots of birds and cute kittens. A place of peace and relaxation. I really connected with Ya, and she practically became a friend. She taught me more about Buddhism; we went out and even did a beach cleanup with Seasheperd. It was really good! So much gratitude to Ya, thank you for everything 🫶🏻
