The volunteering was very good; we felt very comfortable in the place, the house is super kind and attentive. Their seven dogs are super loving, we will miss them. The schedules were very flexible for carrying out the tasks. Thanks for everything, guys 😁

Una experiencia inolvidable. la casa me recibieron con mucha calidez y generosidad, siempre con excelente comunicación y flexibilidad. Las instalaciones son cómodas y rodeadas de naturaleza. Trabajé en jardinería y en el inicio de un huerto de permacultura, lo cual fue muy enriquecedor. Cuidar a sus siete adorables perros fue un verdadero regalo. Más que anfitriones, se convirtieron en grandes amigos. ¡Gracias por tanto!
