Madeleine likes to draw and paint, I like to cook and we both love to read and listen to good music. We excited to meet new people along the way! :)

Truly two of the most kind and welcoming people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We enjoyed all the tasks we had to do on the farm and learnt so much that we will remember forever. Thank you so much for all the fun, good food and good conversations we had - we miss you and your beautiful home already

Madeleine and I had an incredible time in Itá Ibaté and can not recommend this workaway more highly. Our hosts, Lucia and Juan, were two of the kindest and most welcoming people we could have been met with. We were not only made to feel welcome by Lucia and Juan but by all the children, teachers and local townspeople we met. Itá Ibaté is truly a… read more
