Stay at the community if you would like to immerse yourself in brazilian culture and cause an impact in the local community. People there will treat you like family, you will walk around the city all together, make art from recycled materials and spread it across the city. Very relaxed, flexible and outstanding communication from the host and other volunteers. Would love to come back 💕

10/10 experience at the community, so much so that I extended my time at the house (and thus in São Paulo, surprisingly) by almost 2 weeks. João has created a space full of respect, harmony, art and most of all community in the jungle that is the big city. There was a mix of scheduled activities and free time, plus some autonomy on contributing to the activities at different times. I was able to do my own remote work too, so a good fit for digital nomads. I especially loved making art together and homemade pizza/bonfire night! Hard to imagine staying anywhere else in SP now :) obrigada!

Definitely an experience everyone would enjoy and feel comfortable with. Everything during my stay was nice: João, the other volunteers, the place, activities, the neighborhood, Brazilian people, local food, touristic attractions, the whole city ! I would doubtlessly come back !

Staying with Joao was a really good experience for me. At his place, community and respect are highly valued. People were very nice and welcoming to me, and I have no complaints at all. The activities were very meaningful and helped me understand the importance of art, music, and the community activities in general. I highly recommend everyone to visit his place. Good job, Joao!

It was a great experience! João is an absolute legend and has a real eye for the details that make living together as travelers so smooth. It was a perfect introduction to Brazilian culture, and we will definitely be back to visit 100%!

João's little world is amazing. The vibe in the house is very chill and you're welcomed with warm moments of condivition and sharing experiences. It is a really great place where to enjoy also life in San Paolo, since is very close to the metro. If you would like a "co-existir" experience, making activities of peace, awareness and harmony, this is the place for you!

João's place was recommended to us by the hosts at another ecovillage we were staying at and they couldn't have given us a better rec! The house is cozy, charming, and full of good energy and interesting people. The work was mostly creating art with positive social messages and helping to install them in nearby parks along with free pantries and free libraries, as well as watching interesting documentaries and discussing them. It was fulfilling work and it was very sweet to see how João is engaging with his community and brightening the public space around him.

I felt quite welcomed upon arrival and immediately began participating as part of the group. Joao, the host, was always energetic and open to discussion of any subject. The daily activities Monday through Friday were 2 hours long and encouraged group participation in making things, planting, cleaning and organizing, watching videos and discussing the meaning, always with the goal of working as a group without competition. This left plenty of time to see the many sights in Sao Paulo and do things either by yourself or with other worldpackers. I was in a room with 3-4 other guys. No problems.
