Fue mi primer voluntariado y lo recomiendo bastante. Anabelle super buena anfitriona, siempre atenta y hubo muy buena comunicación. Kali y León los perrunos más amorosos. Los vecinos muy amables y siempre ayudando en todo, la gente con la que me tocó compartir muy agradable, el ambiente muy bello y bueno para relajarse y conectar con uno mismo y todo lo que te rodea.

We look forward to seeing you again soon, dear Rebeca.

Debes saber que la movilización hacia las ciudades principales tendrían que ser haciendo dedo (como mochilero) a los autos que pasan afuera de la casa campo. Puedo decir que me fue super bien con esa dinamica y las personas son inmensamente amables.

Anabelle nos buscou no aeroporto e nessa parte foi super receptiva, porém quando chegamos ao local vimos que não tinha cama tivemos que dormir no chão e a noite fazia muito frio, o banheiro não tinha chuveiro, temos que nos deslocar para sua casa para tomar banho, não havia geladeira na cabana então ela cede um pequeno espaço em sua geladeira que é pequeno para a quantia de voluntários no local. Havia muita sujeira na cabana onde ficam os voluntários e a princípio pelas fotos não fica claro se você fica na cabana ou na casa da Anabelle,pois no anúncio da vaga não há fotos do interior da caban

The availability of beds and sleeping spaces varies by season, the number of volunteers, preferences, and other factors. They arrived during a period of turnover, and we gave them priority for a private room. Although at that moment the mattresses were on the floor, that is not the same as having to sleep \"on the floor\". My poor Portuguese and his poor Spanish prevented us from understanding each other better. There was also no time for adjustments or changes, as they decided to leave without further ado. Best regards.

Pese a todos las interrupciones y cambios dados en la estadía, considero que la casa es un maravilloso lugar para desconectarse y conectarte con la naturaleza, se respeta el medio ambiente y hay un enfoque real de cuidado tanto por la naturaleza como ser un refugio consistente para personas que lo necesiten. Espero poder ir en otra ocasión con menos interrupciones n.n
