Description
Javier: soy una persona que disfruta mucho de las cosas simples de la vida, comparte momentos, disfruta el instante y descubre nuevas aventuras y desafíos. Me despierta mucho interés y emoción el poder conocer nuevos lugares, personas y culturas.
Viajar para mi significa libertad, apertura mental y disfrute. Viajando descubro sensaciones y experiencias que no las encuentro en otro lado.
Mi propósito en la vida, si bien lo voy descubriendo día a día, creo que pasa por juntar todas las experiencias y aprendizajes posibles para poder ir creciendo como persona y como ser.

Vanesa: Amante de la vida, curiosa sin fin, vocación de servicio y apasionada de los viajes. Disfruto mucho de estar en contacto con la naturaleza y hacer actividad física, son mi conexión conmigo misma y recarga de energía.
Me divierte aprender cosas nuevas y diversas todo el tiempo, busco desafiarme e ir desarrollando distintas habilidades.
Mi propósito es descubrir mis dones y esencia para aplicarlos en alguna actividad al servicio de la comunidad, siento que sería muy gratificante.

We had an amazing local experience and beautiful time with Ali in his food forest.
Freedom is what we felt during our hole stay. There is no rules, no routines, no fix schedule, just being respectful with the earth and the others. Whoever wants to share with others or cook or clean or doesn't, is ok.

We came to Theth with the idea of spending 2 weeks at the Guesthouse, and we ended up staying 6 weeks which were really wonderful. The family, the surrondings, the food, the experience, everything was much more than we imagined.

The Guesthouse is located in one of the most beautiful valleys in Albania, surrounded by nature and with views that… read more

We spent a month with this beautiful community, a month that flew by, but it gave us the opportunity to get to know this project of love. We only have words of gratitude for each of the beautiful souls that inhabit it, it is an environment of peace and respect for all living beings. During the time there we learned a lot about permaculture and… read more what it is like to live in a community, where communication and flexibility are essential to achieve balance and be able to flow in coexistence.
The place is located in the small town of Seliana, surrounded by mountains and nature, a small but beautiful waterfall very close, a magical water source that you cannot miss and many hikes to do in the mountains. Half an hour by car from Akrata where we could enjoy the beach and jump into the sea, there is always someone coming or going, so you can get closer if you need to go there.

The work was always varied, taking care of the animals, picking seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs, watering the plants, composting, weeding, reconditioning plantation beds, cooking or helping in the kitchen, some maintenance work and general cleaning once a week all together. The tasks started after the 9 o'clock meeting, and we worked in 2 shifts, one longer in the morning until lunch time and then a shorter one in the afternoon, depending on the weather conditions, but we never felt the work is hard and we always received a lesson about the task to be developed.
About the meals, breakfast used to be before the morning meeting and we did it on our own, then lunch and dinner were almost always with the entire team. The food was delicious, varied and sooo fresh with the majority of ingredients produced and harvested naturally in the garden. Never hungry!!!
The free days were usually Sunday and Monday and we were exploring the area, hiking, going to the beach, or just relaxing and contemplating some of the corners of this paradise, surrounded by fruit trees and magical views.
We also had the opportunity to participate durgin our free time in the seminars that were going on or even change our shifts with others to be able to join it, there was always a very good willingness for volunteers to join in activities.

And we could continue talking more and more about this amazing experience but is much better experience it by yourself!!!

Flery, Debo, Kayil, Gaby, Mill, Joey, thank you very much for this time shared, which we have engraved in our hearts :)
Hoping to come back some day!
