The Experience

Hola a todxs! Somos Rebeca (40) & Juan (43) Somos una pareja de Argentinos e Italianos, y hemos estado recorriendo el mundo por un par de años. Ahora, nos hemos asentado en un pequeño pueblo de España, llamado Garganta La Olla. Hemos usado Worldpacker en varias ocasiones en ambos lados, tanto como anfitriones como trabajando. Es por ello que hemos pensado en hacer intercambios.

Esta experiencia simplemente no es un Voluntariado, es "ESTAR la casa", de principio a fin Juan y Rebeca te tratan como familia, te explican a detalle las tareas a realizar, respetan los horarios, en el tiempo libre se preocupan por compartir momentos de calidad con los voluntarios. Tienes muchas comodidades y comida en abundancia. El pueblo es muy acogedor, es un lugar con mucha historia y cultura. Realmente Juan y Rebe son excepcionales no hay palabras para describirlos, debería de existir mas personas en el mundo como ellos. Se les va a extrañar demasiado. Volveríamos sin pensarlo.

La manera perfecta para describir este voluntariado es ''PARAISO TERRENAL'' los anfitriones son personas muy especiales que te hacen sentir como en la casa todo momento. Estàn al pendiente de todo lo que necesites ,te aseguramos que vas a tener un espacio privado para dormir y mucha comida en abundancia e incluso si tienes suerte vas a poder probar alguna de sus recetas y comer juntos como si fueran familia. El pueblo es un lugar muy tranquilo y con mucha naturaleza ,lo recomendamos al 100% y estamos seguros de que no se van a arrepentir. Gracias Rebe y Juan los llevamos en el corazòn.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y no pude estar más bendecida, Juan y Rebeca son una pareja sin precedente, ambos muy interesantes, atentos, cálidos y respetuosos. Los horarios son tal cual , las actividades son respecto al restaurante, nada complicado. En cuanto A Garganta La Olla es muy lindo, muy ad-hoc para hacer senderismo y disfrutar de sus pozas. Todo es tal cual se describe, ¡lo recomiendo al 💯!

Participar en este voluntariado a través de la plataforma Worldpackers fue una de mis primeras experiencias en este tipo de actividades, y puedo decir que fue absolutamente espectacular. Esta oportunidad no solo me permitió disfrutar del entorno la casa de Garganta la Olla, sino que también me brindó la posibilidad de aprender y participar en tareas del restaurante. Los anfitriones, Juan y Rebeca, son una pareja excepcional que se toma el tiempo necesario para enseñarte todas las actividades. Una vez que entras en ritmo, las tareas se vuelven bastante sencillas.

La experiencia fue maravillosa. Desde el primer momento nos dieron toda su confianza y nos hicieron sentir cómodas. Siempre respetaron nuestros tiempos de actividad y días de descanso. Pudimos acercarnos a la cultura local, sobre todo a la comida que siempre fue riquísima. Nos llevamos gratas experiencias y aprendizaje.
