The Experience

Volunteers help maintain the farm by making it more sustainable, productive, clean, and organized. They start the day by caring for the animals, then move on to the garden or structures that need attention, all while taking care of the space and interacting with the children and animals that live on the farm.

Filipa, Louis e Ino son personas muy agradables, dipsuestas a escucharte, guiarte y aconsejarte. Pase un rato muy agradable con ellos, aprendí muchas cosas nuevas y valoro que me hayan dado la independencia para aportar a mi forma. Recomiendo está experiencia si quieres compartir en la naturaleza, relacionarte con animales y conocer personas de otros países. Es importante llegar con iniciativa, curiosidad y deseo de servir y aprender ✨✨ Gracias por todo 🫂☺️

Sono stata da Filipa e Luis per due settimane e mezzo e sono contenta di aver fatto questa esperienza perché mi sono messa alla prova e ho potuto migliorare il mio inglese; gli host sono stati molto gentili e disponibili, hanno rispettato gli orari di lavoro/riposo e hanno spiegato in modo chiaro le varie mansioni da svolgere. Ino è una persona fantastica, sono contenta di averlo conosciuto, gli auguro il meglio dalla vita. Mi è dispiaciuto non aver potuto passare più tempo con gli host e conoscerli meglio, perché purtroppo per metà della mia permanenza erano via; per altre info scrivetemi!!!
