I had a great time volunteering at the farm! It was a beautiful place and it was amazing getting to connect with the other workawayers that were there. Although there was no kung fu at the time of my visit I was able to keep myself occupied. It's a little far from town so that's a good thing to keep in mind but if you want to be in a little piece… read more

I had an awesome time at the kung fu school with the most beautiful nature around!
It was just me and Ryan and we had a really good time:)
I helped him creating a new field for planting but I really didn't have to work too much. The last days I worked on a wall painting...
It was an amazing experience for me to be in such beautiful environment,… read more

Our manager is back tomorrow from a much needed short break, and our new kung fu teacher is due to arrive this week. Sorry we thought you would stay two weeks as planned.

Communication with Giovanni (the owner) was very fast and easy. Arrival to the house was well organized.

Really doing the best he can with what he… read more

Thank you Peter,
YOU did a lot to improve the farm, in a very short period of time!

The bamboo platform that you built down by the stream, will help so many others to have a place to meditate and relax.

Also for painting the doors, making a fantastic table for others to enjoy, and all the other jobs you did around the farm.

Thank you!!!!!

What a random and fun week if my life! I never thought I'd be combining farm work with kung fu clases :)

My job was to care for plants 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. This included hauling water from a well and carrying buckets around the farm to water whatever was needed. I enjoyed the work, and it was pretty physical, so be ready to use your… read more
