One of the best experiences ever! Felt as part of the family and learned a lot with them! Peregrina made me feel in a safe place, and everyone was kind to me. I connected with nature and with all the animals in the farm. And I would say that I'm not good at socializing or interacting with people, but there it never felt like a problem. I'm very grateful for this amazing experience. <3

The first week was good but then it took a turn. Communication is key and I can't say there was any. Instructions weren't clear for the tasks and my work was never good enough. Usually never heard a thank you or good job and I did my best as always. We couldn't use electricity other than charging our phone. The only good thing was the orange trees and the beautiful nature around us. All my other experience was exceptionally good but this one unfortunately didn't work out for me I just didn't enjoy being there and she was keep telling me I have bad energies.

Definitely the only problem is you that couldn’t listen as many times i allays thanks but your work was really not good in 5 tasks that you did here no one was correct or even near and had to repeat and repeat and show that have restrictions in use your body that’s why change after one week ! Just because your resistance to take explication from women! The only thing with electric that I said no was for washing up machine but I paid an out side wash
Big ego !

The land and animals were great. Got along with all the cats and dogs. Felt welcomed at first, then judged me off my energy saying I didnt want to work b/c of another volunteer, my age group and my country. Lacked perspective when I told her my lifestyle is different. Opened the door while I was asleep on a stormy night to flip the switch for the generator & didnt feel comfortable especially since it was my first experience doing this. Lack of food for work outside. Left us behind on grocery day less food next week. Petty till the end, accusations for theft, cant even fit the rest on here.

Constança was super nice and friendly! The place is beautiful but isolated. The house was super nice and comfortable, we had our space for resting and recovering. The food situation was a bit less for us as we need more when doing physical work. But we managed by talking. The working was very intense with the person who was in charge of the house as he was just wanting to end things and for us was more about doing something with consciousness and making it right.
