I had a great time at Chris's project! My boyfriend and I stayed in a big yurt all to ourselves (and Josi-Jo 🐈⬛). There were a few spiders, bugs, and we used a dry toilet outside, but overall, it was good! We worked mostly in the garden—helping with wood, weeding, and planting. Breakfast and lunch were shared, and I got to cook a lot 🥰. Everyone was super friendly! They invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving, and Chris took us to a pizzeria and a local market 😇. Big thanks to Chris and his community!

I had a lovely time at Várzea, it was peaceful and warm. Chris was a great host with good communication and gave us tasks within the garden and helping out on the land in the morning which is great for learning about how life adapts to different climates. I also met two other volunteers my age who I got along with well and I really recommend going here, it was a great second Worldpackers experience. Also dinner is included which isn't on this website, all 3 meals can be cooked by yourself as Chris buys new ingredients. I found the wildlife a little challenging but it was fine.

I felt very safe and welcome to this experience. Working with too English speaking, easy going but hard working men. Chris was very accommodating and pleasant to work with, always working together was really nice for the team spirit. I had my own place to stay in which was also such a luxury. We even had a social evening with neighbour's making food in the fire oven which was cool to be a part of. Everyone was really lovely.

Minha experiência em Várzea foi excelente!! Desde o primeiro contato o Chris foi prestativo, atencioso e receptivo. Ao longo do mês, infelizmente choveu muito, então realizamos poucas tarefas, como poda, pintura, além de ajudar outras pessoas que residem no sítio. Várzea é uma pequena vila, onde tive contato com todos, em especial o Chris (claro), Maeve, Agar, Shan e Ian. Sou grata pelas experiências e trocas compartilhadas com cada um deles. Fiquei hospedada em uma yurt, e o Chris fornecia os alimentos de todas minhas refeições, cujo fui responsável em realizá-las.

Chris y Sean fueron muy cordiales y cálidos al recibirnos. Los horarios son respetados y las tareas algunas son de esfuerzo físico y otras tranquilas en el jardín, tienes la tarde libre por lo que puedes descansar. Es un lugar para sumergirte en la naturaleza y la vida de campo.

O Chris é uma pessoa de mentalidade jovem, isso com certeza trás muita leveza, fizemos alguns passeios, ele me levou para a praia, tomamos vários cafés, também tive a oportunidade de conhecer alguns moradores locais, pessoas muita agradáveis e educadas, enquanto estime na várzea tive a Oportunidade de realizar muitas tarefas que eu já sabia pois aprendi na minha infância, isso foi ótimo pois facilitou meu trabalho, me dando a oportunidade de ser eficiente…consegui ensinar português para o Chris, ele ficou quase fluente. 😅 obrigada por me receber!
