Description
***Hey, beautiful soul! Before you get too excited reading the old reviews... a little update:
Those lovely messages are from volunteers who helped me back when I had a hostel. That chapter has closed. Now I’m writing a brand new one — and you’re invited to be part of it!***
_________________
I’m Fabiola — a peace-and-love person with a big dream: to build my little house just a few steps from the ocean, and one day turn it into a cozy, rustic mini campsite full of charm, nature, and good vibes.
My little slice of paradise is only 50 meters from Massaguaçu Beach, in a quiet
neighborhood. The nearest supermarket, pharmacy, and restaurants are about 2 km away — and the center of Caraguatatuba is 11 km from here. A quiet paradise where time moves a little slower, the stars shine brighter, and flip-flops are basically the dress code.
At the moment, I’m looking for someone with knowledge in construction, such as plastering, painting, etc., and also woodworking skills to make simple doors and windows. Since the work can sometimes be physically demanding, it’s very difficult and exhausting to do everything alone — so I really need a volunteer to share this journey with me.
For now, I can only host men, simply because the work is physically demanding.
(But don’t worry, ladies — your time will come! I’ll need your help in the future too!)
I can only host one volunteer at a time, for many reasons — it’s a tiny place with simple structure, but a huge heart.
The life here is very simple: there are bathroom, a small improvised kitchen.
What I offer:
Simple vegetarian meals — breakfast and lunch, always cooked with love .
A tent in the backyard — good old camping style!
A sweet language exchange: I’d love to practice English , Spanish and French , and I can help you with Portuguese if you want!
(Just so you know: my English is intermediate level . I understand a lot, but sometimes it takes me a minute to build a sentence — patience and laughter welcome!)
If you love nature, simplicity, meaningful connections, and don’t mind a bit of sweat in exchange for sunrises at the beach, sea breeze, and soul growth — this little corner of the world might be just what you’ve been looking for.
Come as you are — and let’s create something beautiful together, one day (and one smile) at a time.
