Daniel was an amazing gentleman who spent several weeks with us. He was quiet, respectful, and hardworking, despite the age difference with other volunteers. He suggested many projects and worked at them with enthusiasm and consistency. We wish him well in all his other adventures!!

My stay at Rebecca's was one of the most pleasant one. The guesthouse is very confortable, the work not hard at all. She has so many projects and since she is working from home she is very busy, thefore you will be on your own most of the time for the work and the meals. Rebecca is very easy going and discreet. I do recommend absolutly. Thanks

Merci Anne,
J'ai passé une douzaine de jours fort agréables chez toi. L'endroit est magnifique, calme et au centre de la nature. J'ai appris quelques notions de permaculture, le travail au jardin était super et un peu challenging.
