The experience at the site was quite tranquil, with silence and a connection to nature! The main tasks were gardening and cleaning. Karina is a thoughtful person, very detail-oriented in tasks and careful with the things at the site. Our communication flowed remotely mainly because she was traveling. It is important to be an organized person and attentive to details to adapt well. The accommodation is beautiful and comfortable. Getting to the village and the beach requires physical stamina to cross the river. It also helps to ask for rides. I thank Karina for the exchange and the learnings!

a guest house welcomed us with a lot of love and we cultivated a friendship; both of us were encouraged to see where we could evolve and grow! We shared know-how and challenges, creations, music, poetry, dance, the care for the earth - it was deep and sensitive! The space is very pleasant to be in, it is calm and for anyone seeking to connect with inner and outer nature, it's ideal! I loved it ❤️🦋

Karina is very dear and communicative! We had a small slip with the working hours and the tasks… but the agreements and the communication between us were very flexible. I enjoyed collaborating with the space and getting to know the Caraíva region.

It was a very special experience volunteering at the guest house; we learned a lot about life in the community, living a simple life and sharing moments amid nature.

Our experience with the space was good; the house is beautiful and cozy, but it isn’t in Caraíva — it’s on the other side of the river in Nova Caraíva, distant and isolated. Having to cross to the other side by hitchhiking or kayaking, which makes access to the market, pharmacy, etc. difficult. We recommend the place for those who want to stay quiet, far from civilization.

The experience was valuable as a learning experience, but Amanda and I noticed in the first days that we had not fully adapted to the local dynamics. We came from another volunteering placement with a different proposal, and there was a difficult adjustment. Additionally, I had a temporary physical limitation that made mobility difficult, which influenced the decision.
The conversation with the host was respectful and transparent, and we completed the work assigned for the period we were at the site. We would recommend the volunteering for people who identify with the proposal and the dynamics of the space.

Hello Bárbara! I understand that you guys haven't adapted and I validate your feelings. It was really shocking to be told out of the blue that you would leave the space the next day. Otherwise, everything's fine. I wish you all good experiences!

I loved the experience of volunteering at the guest house, for her who is an amazing person and also for the place, which is immersed in nature, and it made me rethink and experience new things, freeing me from some fears. The host is super flexible, kind, and fun. We talked a lot. We had changes of plans a few times, on the part of the host, because the retreat she was going to hold changed date and location, but in any case we carried out some tasks that could be used in the new plan. It was all very enriching.
