This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was awesome. Sonia is a force of nature and her story, energy, and commitment are very inspiring. I loved working in the garden and fully enjoyed the beauty and quietness of the place. For me, it was a great way to recharge my batteries and reconnect with nature. Travellers, beware of mosquitoes and other insects, so don't forget to bring some strong repellent. Thank you for everything, Sonia!

Those were wonderful days at Sitio o sítio. The place is undergoing a restructuring, and it was good to be able to contribute to local growth. Sônia is a wonderful host; she made me feel very at ease, and she was full of stories to tell.

My experience on the farm was very enriching. I learned about sustainability, how to work the land, how to make the most of the resources provided by nature and the care of chickens. In addition, I had a lovely relationship with Sonia and the friends I met there; they are all very lovely people. I enjoyed my time in Brumadinho a lot; everything is very peaceful in the countryside. Very grateful for the time and shared space.

Sonia is very attentive and kind. From the first moment she was receptive. Casa la granja is a growing project, and you can see the effort that she is putting into improving it every day. I felt warmly welcomed and I appreciate the opportunity to have been part of this stage of the project. I am sure it will continue to evolve and offer an even better experience.

My experience at the site was very good; I liked it a lot. The work was calm and flexible. The days off Sônia recommended should be on the day when Inhotim has free entry, so that the volunteer can visit. Sônia is an amazing, welcoming, good-humored woman and she taught me how to make pizza dough. Haha I highly recommend spending a season at the site, getting to know Sônia and her stories, getting to know Inhotim and the city of Brumadinho, walking through the center, going to Casa de Memória.
