The Experience

I'm looking for a kind and proactive volunteer to help around the farm 3 full days per week or 2 full days and 2 half days, if we work in my Airbnb in the city. The rest of the time you can enjoy Itacaré staying in your own charming tiny house in the center! You would have to take the bus to come to the farm (time only starts when you arrive - of course I pay the tickets)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind review, Dominik. You are always welcome here! Hopefully we'll have the guest house here in the countryside finished soon, so that you also have a lovely retreat from the busy city life 🫶 All the best for your future - you'll surely get a wonderful job in Switzerland!

An incredible experience at the house in Itacaré! 💛 We built a clay wall and she was a super attentive, funny, and welcoming hostess. The house in the center is beautiful. It’s worth noting that the work routine is quite active, so it's a great choice for those who like to roll up their sleeves and really get involved. The house, thank you for everything! 🌿

Our experience was very special, the house was wonderful with us and we stayed in a lovely little house in the center, near the beach! On some days, the work was more tiring in the bioconstruction part and demanded a lot from us, but also the result was very rewarding. We learned, contributed and lived moments that made this experience worth it. We are grateful for the opportunity and for the exchange during this period that extended beyond what was expected. My hug to this lovely family: Gianna, Carlos, the house and Buda ❤️ Gratitude ❤️

The house is incredible and teaches everything! The work is heavy, but rewarding, and she respects our limits. My fiancée and I had a lot of privacy in a beautiful house facing the sea. We learned to build a bioconstruction wall, use a drill, a jigsaw, cut bamboo, sift sand, and make the mortar. We also planted cassava, cleaned, and organized the house. The house was very clear about what was expected and always respectful. We have kept these learnings close to our hearts. See you soon! 🌊🧱💍✨

The house is an amazing, lively, communicative and respectful person. It was my first experience with bioconstruction, simply incredible; I managed to understand well all the teachings passed on and all the tasks well divided, and the schedules and days off were all very well arranged. The countryside house is a cozy refuge and everything was made with ecological materials; it was the first volunteer experience with so many personal and life knowledge that I will keep in my heart. I thank the house, Gianna, Carlos, Buda (the dog 🐕 protector) and your house for being so full of life and stories. See you soon! 😘🥰.
