Personally I had a great time! I got along with everyone and was able to connect with the people and make some real friendships. The place and its surroudings are truly beautiful. There is a waterfall in which we went swimming, we went hiking and there are a lot of beautiful villages and ruins to visit. It's a great space to relax and connect with the nature. The work can be exhausting at times but with the other volunteers it's always fun and the tasks were quite simple. The work hours are great and definitely fair. It's a really interesting project and I learned a lot :)

The host kicked me out without notice or choice for comunication, he showed a callous disregard for my safety and other volunteers. Fortunately the place is beautiful and my colleagues had my back

Let me tell you that you did not have an adequate attitude because there was no sign of you accepting any criticism at all. Besides not collaborating with the common tasks. Your answer was that you had done everything perfectly and a piercing look that scared us (me and Ricardo).
Still, instead of telling you to leave at the moment using your own means, someone came to the town and you were paid for one night in a hotel.
When you were told that you had to leave, your response was that you had no money at all nor anyone who could lend it to you, neither family nor friends. I doubt that's the case since 70 euros is something everyone has, no matter how bad their economic situation is.
From this situation I take that it's better to set boundaries beforehand in similar circumstances, that we should have spoken with the rest of the volunteers in front of us besides Ricardo and me, that I acted impulsively taking the decision on my own instead of reaching a consensus with Ricardo (although he agreed).
I hope you also learn something and that you do very well in life.
And yes, I went from Reggio Calabria to Milan for free haha.
Alright, take care.

The community is a place to connect with nature, with others, and with yourself as well.
You're up for walking, meeting amazing people, and having a great time.

My experience in the community was very enriching, both personally and professionally. I arrived with an open mind, not knowing exactly what I would find, and I discovered new ways of living, relating to others, and understanding different perspectives. Beyond the tasks performed, I take with me valuable human and personal lessons and a deep gratitude for the welcome received. Without a doubt, I will return as a better version of myself. From the bottom of my heart, I hope this project continues to grow and continues to attract people aligned with their values, fostering genuine and authentic connections. Gratitude!

El proyecto es de repoblación de un antiguo pueblo inmerso en la naturaleza, rodeado de montañas y lleno de cascadas y ríos maravillosos. Llegué a la comunidad para el Festival de las Bellotas y me encontré con un montón de gente super chula. ¡De hecho, me quedé una semana más! Miguel y sus compañeros son personas disponibles, de gran corazón, con ganas de tener un impacto positivo en el mundo. Me sentí como en casa y espero volver pronto. ¡Gracias!

Excelente experiencia, es una aldea en crecimiento, con excelente ambiente y buenos paisajes. El contacto con la naturaleza es completo, posee bosques, montañas, cursos de agua cerca y libertad de acción para recorrerlo y disfrutarlo. Las personas se han brindado al 100% y me quedan una sensación de tener que volver.

Estoy súper contenta por la experiencia vivida durante un mes y medio. Me ha encantado compartir con todas las amigas de la comunidad y especialmente con todas las voluntarias que allí coincidimos y convivimos. También me siento muy agradecida por la acogida de miguel que abre las puertas de su casa y trata de que no nos falte de nada. Es un proyecto al que le queda una gran trayectoria por trazar, y estoy segura de que estáis en el buen camino. Mucha suerte!

Me gustó la experiencia, estuve dos meses, Miguel es buena gente y se preocupa de las necesidades de los voluntarios, si te pasa algo se hace cargo ya sea de llevarte al hospital como paso con un voluntario que se torció el pie el primer día y solo se le dio la tarea de cocinar, y limpiar cosa que cumplió a medias tomando en cuenta que el accidente no fue grave porque podía recorrer tramos largos sin problemas, si sales y te demoras mucho esta pendiente de mantener el contacto para asegurarse que todo está bien, comida no falta y esta a libre disposición y conocí gente muy linda
