More details about your skills
I am engineer by eduaction and I have worked proffessionally as quality engineer for Airbus and as waiter in a restaurant. I have also recently become a certificated Hata Yoga teacher. Additionally I have a lot of workaway experience, mainly in farms and construction, but also in hostels. Though I am not an expert at any of these fields I am used to do all basic gardening activities and also to use gardening or power tools. I enjoy working with my hands, being outside or taking care of animals. I can speak Spanish, English and German.

My experience with Jorge was neutral. If Jorge is skilled in gardening, Jorge most of the time he did the task alone and do not integrate much the group. I exchange with him but maybe not as much as he needed or expect during the 6 days he stays with us living earlier despite asking him to stay more and as we can exchange more.
I have to apologize… read more

Unfortunatelly my stay at the farm was a bit disappointing. The main reason as I explained to Xavier is a management and communication problem. During my time there there wasn´t any kind of regular meeting, explanation about the place, direct instructions of any kind from Xavier himself. Even though he is often in the house he uses whatsapp to… read more

I spent 4 weeks end of 2019 in La Sacristía and it was a great time. It´s an excellent place to learn about permaculture thanks to Daniel and the workshops. During my stay there was some construction going on, work in the garden, with compost, a lot of water and rainwater management everything done with a permaculture mindset. The food is… read more

I was at this project end of last year, came for a month but end up staying two, including Christmas. I will keep it short: I loved the place, enjoyed all the different things I did and learnt in the garden and the construction places and I met beatiful people. I can only say thank you for all the food, yoga classes, teachings, hugs and love I… read more

I had a great experience volunteering with Hannes and Fei, since the very beginning they made me feel at home. The job was hard but rewarding, doing whatever was needed to get things done in the house according to the plan. Additionally I really enjoyed taking care of the chicken, ducks and the veg garden, which was growing beatifully day after… read more

We feel very lucky that we had Jorge as our guest and helper.
He is a very cheerful, warmhearted, caring and centered personality and it is very pleasant to be with him.
At this moment we are under big pressure to get our living area reconstructed before the cold season starts again. So the time pressure is big and when he told me, that he has… read more

I spent 4 weeks in March 2018 here I really enjoyed the work and the possibility to choose and manage different permaculture projects as well as sweating while working in any of the gardens together with the local labor. There is also room to explore your creative and artistic side if you have any good ideas. I definitely learned a lot during my… read more

I stayed for 10 days with Troji and had a wonderful time. Easy job, first prepare the breakfast in the morning, then helping with the flowers for a couple of flowers and then prepare the rooms after the check outs. If you're looking for a great host, lovely family, good food, quiet place and cool weather this is the place to be! Thanks Troji!

Jorge is a very soft-spoken and quiet Italian guy. He came to help us when I was away. According to my business partner, he was really helpful and is a good worker =)

I had a great stay here, super clean, cozy and friendly hostel. By the time I volunteered it was only Ken and I, so we split the work and manage some things together. He is a good man, very easy to work with, if he was not around he would always leave some notes informing about new bookings and he is always reachable. The job is pretty… read more

I spent 5 weeks in total, 4 at the farm in Mas with Komang and 1 with his parents in Singaraya and it was a great experience.
Mas: normally volunteers work about 3 hours in the morning 6:30 to 9:30, then you get breakfast and you are free to work the other 2 hours anytime until it's dark. You get a second meal at around 6-7pm. There are many… read more

I worked here last September for two weeks. Marco is a great host, really passionate about his project and he always provided us very good food. The living conditions (it's a construction site) seemed hard for the first night, but the you get quickly used to it. Work (mosaics) turned out to be quit entertaining and relaxing. Looking forward to… read more
