Description
Hello! We are Celia (she/her) and Max (they/them), a Spanish-French couple that loves to travel, meet people and discover new places. We think that the best way of traveling is by volunteering, as you get to meet local people, help the community and you get to really experience what it's like to live there, not just being a tourist.

We have both been involved in multiple projects, even before meeting each other, we have led summer camps for children, participated in the renovation of buildings, landscaping, doing forestry work, farming and taking care of gardens, building wooden structures... and sharing some nice moments with the people that have hosted us and the other volunteers cooking meals together, playing games, singing by a campfire, hiking and much more!

This year we have decided that it was time to get away from big cities and go volunteer in Central America, trying to get involved especially in community projects, and learning more about permaculture and sustainable building, as we would love to build our own house in the future and grow our veggies. We're happy to get to know you and help with anything you need, especially with renovations, DIY and ecological projects! :)

Estuvimos tres semanas en este lugar a y nos sentimos parte de una gran família con Anna, Arnold y su família y lxs demás voluntarixs!! :) Durante las primeras semanas estuvimos preparando el terreno para los futuros baños, cortando leña, ordenando el almacenaje de guadua y madera, gestionando el compost, mejorando los baños secos e instalando… read more

Disfrutamos mucho de nuestros días en la finca de Greg y Nathalie. Aprendimos mucho sobre el cuidado de los patos y sobre bioconstrucción, ayudando a construir su nueva casa. Pasamos muchos buenos momentos conversando en la tiny house, comiendo comidas muy ricas y algun que otro pastelito y paseando con Paca. Nos sentimos como en casa y nos… read more

Celia and Milly stayed with us for 10 days. They are easy going people, respectful, always smiling, and they helped us with a lot of different tasks at home, with the animals, and with the construction of our house. They are trustworthy persons, and we did not hesitate to leave them alone at the farm as we had to travel for 2 days. We had good… read more

Pasamos 10 días en esta linda finca cafetera cerca de Pijao, donde estuvimos ayudando a despejar el camino que lleva a la cabaña y pintando los baños y el mirador con los colores de la finca. Compartimos el espacio con los trabajadores de la finca, así que tuvimos una immersión total a la vida cafetera, con rica comida casera tipica colombiana y… read more

Celia stayed with us in the autumn for a couple of month and was great (unfortunately didn't get to meet Milly)
For us the outstanding thing about Celia was how she took care of the whole group, organising things with them, be it meals, swimming, movie or game nights, it was just great.
Work wise Celia is an all-rounder and helped with many… read more

I spent about two months at this place and it truly is a very special place. The people are friendly and dedicated to the project, they care about the volunteers and make you feel at home. They also have a room with a lot of clothes that you can borrow for work and if you need some extra layers of warmth in the winter, which is good to know in… read more

Dear Inna, thank you so much for hosting me! I spend ten days in Inna's camp in the forest close to Mikkeli. The place is great and surrounded by nature and the camp for the kids was very well organized. It might take a bit of effort to get the kids to speak english, but as soon as you start playing with them they start to open up and stop beeing… read more

I stayed in Franz and Aimee's farm for a couple of weeks and I had a really nice time. They are great hosts and having other volunteers around created a very welcoming community life.
Their digital project management system is a great method to organize the work, and it allows you to be very flexible in your working hours and easily check the… read more
