    Description

    Hello. I'm Vivi. I am an economist and sociologist. I love developing projects that combine the environment and creative economy. Since 2019 I have been developing an eco-pousada concept in Atins a small village in northeastern Brazil that has a peaceful rhythm of life for most of the year. During the months of may to September (and 28th december to first week of January) the village is invaded by tourists from all over the world to visit the lagoons of the Lençois Maranhenses National Park and to practice kitsurfing.

    Since 2023 I decided to open to receive volunteers who have an appreciation for life in the nature and who can be accommodated in a camping tent or in shared room for exchanging experiences and collaboration a few hours a day (20h or 24h a week) at our reception, carpentry, small construction, cooking for volunteers, etc.

    Recently I opened the first Hairdresser salon of Atins but there is no a really professional hairdresser in the villlage 😔so if you like this option please tell me.

    I offer breakfast (20h) and lunch (24h). Our kitchen can be used to cook your dinner (you must to buy your own ingredients in mini market to do it and keep the kitchen organized and clean).
    Thank you for reading this short presentation and feel you comfortable to ask me more informations.
    Best wishes.
    Vivi
