Description
Hey! We are The Island!
My name is Isla, and me, my family and a couple of friends are acting around the world looking for a more sustainable way of living and like this trying to make the world a better place to be...
We have a piece of land in South of Brazil. Where we would like to develop sustainably and in the future build a beautiful community that views the balance and connection between humans and nature.
We also just open up a hostel in Paranagua, where we are looking for support atm,
There is one private room in there available for volunteers...
If you are interested in exchanging some time in there for a couple of hours of work in the week, please do not hesitate in contacting us!
Much love,
Isla

What else ...
One of the extra activities we suggest is a day visiting the Reserva Natural Salto do Morato with a stop at Buffalo’s Bar where you can find some beer and wi-fi! Those places are around 30 min. from the land by car.
If you are in the hostel base. Try canoeing to the islands on the sunrise or full moon.
Or catch a normal boat to the islands around, there are many, the mais one is called Ilha de Mel.
There is also a caiçara cultural center after the bridge on the "Valadares" island, that offers events of music and traditional dance and drinks from time to time.

He and another of our "workawayer's" decided to start a bamboo structure that I was not even expecting to start now,
Even that it was something new to them, they got super evolved in making it happen, did many researches, and the results are great!
