The 10 days with Doris, Ata and Maia, were truly something different. You live quite simple, without much Schnickschnack, which makes it a real experience. The property is huge and incredibly diverse. The work was a lot of fun because we were able to be creative and try out new things. The family is really friendly. I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bit of variety.

We had a lovely time at Doris' and Atas place. It was an interesting experience sleeping in the tent and showering in nature but you get used to it pretty quickly and when the sun was out, showering in the jungle was very nice! And the earth building work also was much fun! The tasks varied almost every day and we learned much new stuff. Also the working hours are flexible and the vegetarian food was amazing! Thank you for having us!

A relatively easygoing stay at a beautiful tranquil rainforest reserve. You get a lot of opportunities to explore the place. The work provides lots of freedom to be creative and work through problems in your own way. The food was always healthy and filling, and they my vegan diet without any issues (that I noticed) . The tents were very secure, out of the wind und despite heavy rain and humidity everything stayed dry and warm . Though if you have trouble sleeping with background noise going on I recommend bringing earplugs since the highway can be quite annoying at night

I couldn't have hoped for a better first Worldpackers experience! Doris and Ata foster a really welcoming and accommodative environment. It's a place that attracts wonderful human beings from around the world. The property sits on beautiful nature that offers a lot of opportunities to roam and explore. During my stay there I was able to broaden my horizon and grow a lot as a person. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! Kia ora! ♥️

Living off grid in such a beautiful environment and with such beautiful souls was honestly a blessing. I can't be more grateful for this experience. Ata and Doris are two amazing human beings and they have so many things to teach. Just be mindful 🧘♀️

I really enjoyed my time there, close to the nature! Beautiful rainforest, river and swimming spot to explore for exchange of gaining some skills, eating delicious vegetarian meals and having interesting conversations in the dining table. I had really good sleep outdoors (the tent stayed dry through rains)! The hosts were warmly welcoming, lovely people and lovely animals! I really felt like home away from home ❤️ Thank you!

I had a really great time with everyone here and felt welcomed into the family. Everyone was very genuine and my time truly felt like a collaborative exchange. We had wonderful conversations, I learned a lot, and I got to enjoy plenty of time with the land. The food was also amazing. Everything was as described beforehand. No complaints about my time here, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who has the opportunity to go!

Doris and Ata made such a kind and warm space to experience more of life. This family will hold a special place in my memories. I felt extremely welcomed and loved all the work we did (ex: weeding (manually and with a weed wacker), and washing/priming a wall for a mural). The food was amazing and the tents were cozy and warm. I loved the long conversations we would have at the table about everything and anything. They opened my eyes to a kind of sustainable life that I was so distanced from. I will cherish the week I spent with them and the entire family.
