Our 2 weeks with Mica were indescribable. Mica is a very friendly, helpful and flexible person. Her house is beautiful and so are the surroundings. The work was varied and very interesting. She has always been very appreciative of our work, which made us very happy. We can recommend helping mica to everyone. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to volunteer at Micas House again.

Nothing else to add to my previous comment except to thank Mica for all the help she gave me. Many thanks to her, and I highly recommend that you don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and try her alfajores.

I had an excellent experience with Mica at her house in the village of Itamambuca. I had the opportunity to build and fix things at her house; Mica is a very flexible and high-spirited person. We had a main project to carry out, but we also managed to do some other projects that we proposed to her.

It was awesome to spend those weeks there and have the opportunity to help with his project and, on top of that, catch some waves!

Mica is amazing, there was never a problem, she allowed me to adjust the schedules to be able to surf and explore the place, she taught me to understand a bit of Portuguese and the culture and music of Brazil. The truth is that it was a very lovely experience together with Vinicius, my companion, and Mica, who behaved very well at all times. I ended up staying one more week and I hope to return at some other moment, anyone who wants to help her feel free to talk to her because she will know how to understand and help clear up any doubt.

Mica, thank you very much for everything. I am very grateful for everything you did for me.

Thanks Nahue! I'm the one who should thank you for all the help and your willingness to work! You and Bertola rocked it; it was a pleasure to spend these days together, surf, drink mate, and exchange ideas about cultural diversity, the languages, and the music! Have a safe trip, and may open roads lie ahead. Please come back anytime—the doors are always open.
Thanks for everything!

Genia mica! Thanks for everything, I fell in love with Itamambuca and I loved the experience of living in the Morro, a place that allowed me to connect a lot with nature and the sea. The chores around the house kept me entertained and made me very creative! I would have liked to finish everything I started haha. I also really enjoyed the talks and the cervejinhas 🍻 since you were my only friend within 100 km radius haha. (Volunteers, if you're looking to disconnect a bit, be in nature a few meters from the sea, and are creative to do the housework, you're going to like it!) Mica, a hug and lots of success!!! 🙌🍻
