Description
Hello! I am a Brazilian born, USA raised adventurer. I get along with every type of person, from all walks of life. Very open-minded, accepting, understanding, and kind. I have a fascination with understanding the human personality, and with philosophy. Besides that, I'm always curious and extremely eager to expand my mind and learn about every single other thing; Carpentry, animal care-taking, farming, welding, medicine, sailing, cooking, etc. Really, anything. Life to me is for expanding and experiencing!

As a worker, I have always been extremely responsible. I take direction well, and once I've been shown the basics of my task, I will go about doing the best job I can. I am very intrinsically motivated and I feel good when I do my job well and do my part in helping out.

My hobbies include yoga, reading, volunteering with animals, board games, hiking, meditation, writing, gardening, and studying.

I have also done quite some traveling, and have plenty of stories to share!

I stayed for two weeks in December and absolutely loved my time there. The location is beautiful, it was such a joy to be surrounded by the sounds of the river and songbirds all day. If I remember correctly, I think there was nothing but land there when Jesse started his vision for the lodge. It's incredible to think about all the work that was… read more put in to construct all the lovely cottages, the farm, the restaurant. There's a lot I'd like to take the time to appreciate about the place, so I will try to summarize it.

The food is incredible. I was very pleased with the variety and the flavors. A heads up that the meals may not be enough calories for everyone's personal daily portion needs, but it is very easy and inexpensive to get some fruits/snacks from the stores nearby, and the lodge can serve additional portions for a cost.

The dorms were very comfortable. I slept like a baby every night.

One of the best parts of the experience was actually the farm work. The work was varied which is nice, I had the chance to learn many different skills and techniques in farming. It was fulfilling work. Leo I think is in charge of leading the volunteer farm work overall, do not take any moment you have with him for granted. He is incredibly knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics, and he truly enjoys sharing that knowledge. Although I had a very limited time to learn from him, he genuinely seemed like one of the most intelligent people I've met. It is recommended that you have a decent grasp of Spanish since they don't speak English on the farm.

My favorite part was the people. I really enjoyed getting to experience the unique and beautiful individuals that work there. Carlo was so pleasant to talk to, I enjoyed his laid-back energy. Jesse is a fantastic musician and I loved listening to him play guitar. Paula made some beautiful jewelry, and I just thought she was a really cool chick overall. Jonathan was a joy, he spent a lot of time with the volunteers and would play ping pong with us and was also a wonderful musician. He would play guitar and Valeria would sing along during the bonfires, her voice made me feel so much peace. I only wish I had more time to get to know them all better.

Oh if you have the time, definitely make the 1 hour walk to the nearby Vanadurga Ashram! It is 1000% worth it.

All in all, 10/10. I highly recommend coming to experience this place. I thank everyone there for making it such a wonderful and healing experience for me.
