Description
October 2020 update: due to the COVID 19 situation we had to delay our new trip, so we will be in Italy in January / February 2021 approximately. We are going to process our citizenship so we are looking for a volunteer to be able to stay during the process and establish residence.

Somos una pareja argentina que nos conocimos hablando de viajes, y soñando con conocer cada rincón del planeta para vivir con nuestros propios sentidos la diversidad cultural que habita este mundo.
En 2016 comenzamos a cumplir nuestro sueño y viajamos por Asia durante varios meses donde pudimos conocer muchos países y que nos permiten vivir otras culturas, otros estilos de vida, otras realidades, otros parámetros sociales y culturales que muchas veces nos llegan distorsionados a través de las pantallas.
Creemos firmemente que viajar y conocer gente nueva es la mejor manera de romper estereotipos y prejuicios que a menudo nacen de la ignorancia y los intereses de los medios que nos negamos a seguir.

Gisella and Mateo were fantastic folk to have come join our life here in Cherven. They stayed a month and during that time helped us so much with all sorts of tasks. I am particularly grateful for the electrical work and the stud wall building Mateo was able to do for me. They are definitely "can do" sort of folk who in addition to work tasks also… read more

Traveling to the Highlands was wonderful, but it was better because we could meet Jim and Saddhavati and spend two weeks with them (although we never wanted to leave!). Both are excellent people, beautiful couple, with a very special peace and patience that made us feel not only comfortable, but as part of their family. The place is wonderful,… read more

Pasamos unos días increibles, llenos de aprendizaje. El lugar es hermoso, muy tranquilo. Maria y Damian nos hicieron sentir como en casa y pasamos muy lindos momentos juntos compartiendo comidas y música, ademas del trabajo. El barrio y su historia también es un lugar interesante de conocer. Sin duda volveriamos.
