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 am looking for a guy who wants to come and help me. As the work can sometimes be physically demanding. Working alone is very dificult and exhasulting, so I really need a volunteer to share this journey whit me.
**But hold on, before you pack your backpack:**
At the moment, 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!)
Nature, peace, and a chance to live simply and meaningfully.
**Heads up, adventurer:
No electricity (yet!)— but I do have a solar panel to charge small devices, solar lamps and candles( don’t worry, we won’t be in the dark).
No Wi-Fi, but I’ll provide a SIM card with credit so you can stay connected, call your mom, or post a dreamy beach sunrise or two.
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.
