It was an enjoyable experience. I learnt some new things in a good environment but there's definitely room for improvement. The experience would benefit from a morning briefing so volunteers are aware of expectations for the day, which would mean they can be more autonomous with their tasks for the day which is something Nano likes. Great accomodation was definitely a bonus.

Jack, I won't be able to summarize the two hours of feedback I gave you when we chatted here before your experience ended. Surely the experience will grow on you over time. I recommend you meditate or find tools to spend more time in the presence. I couldn't enjoy working with you, no matter how hard I tried. Good luck!

My time at Nano's place was a totally enriching experience, not only in relation to learning permaculture and tool handling but also in terms of personal and interpersonal growth. Nano is a great host, very thoughtful and willing to give his time, knowledge, and care to the volunteers. Beautiful experience and highly recommended.

My volunteering experience was very enriching. It allowed me to rethink my way of looking at life and how I position myself in relation to it.
From the first day, Nano welcomed us with enormous warmth, and my teammates brought all their energy so that Cauquén would become a home, a safe place. Nano puts a lot of love into what he knows and patience in every teaching, whether at work or in any conversation you share with him. I feel deeply grateful to have shared this month with all of them, creating with our own hands a space in harmony with nature.

Being a volunteer with Nano isn't learning to build a house, it's learning to rebuild yourself. It's not about work in exchange for shelter and food, but about receiving affection and learning the natural flow of life. It was my first volunteer experience and the best choice. Nano teaches with passion and corrects with delicacy. Dana always lifts the spirits. The hippie vibe is balanced with Nano's seriousness and professionalism.
It's living an adventure with the right dose of feet on the ground. I learned to use tools, practiced Spanish and made lifelong friendships. I am very grateful and I want to come back soon!

Trabajar con Nano en su proyecto es muy grato. El proyecto es muy inspirador y el ambiente de trabajo es bueno, se comparte con otros voluntarios y con Nano y se crea un vínculo agradable. Algunos días el trabajo es pesado pero es increíble lo mucho aprendes y como se va materializando el trabajo del día a día.
