Description
We are an international couple from Brazil (Rodrigo, 40 y/o) and Netherlands (Thomas, 39 y/o) who meet each other and felt in love when Rodrigo choose Haarlem to be his last volunteer after almost 1,5 years travelling.
Thomas is hairdresser and Rodrigo is cat sitter.
We are mostly looking to connect with people, nature and animals, make friends, explore and experience good energy along this journey.
Currently grateful for opportunities where we can learn and share what we know putting our skills to use. We hope to find mutual exchange for both our spirituality and personal growth.

I spent 3 weeks with Robert and the animals at the finca. The animals are adorable, bram the pony and bayley got my heart. The work is simple and fun especially on the “beer break”. Robert is one of the most genuine and kind person I've ever met. He took me for birdwatching by the Ebro, it was a blast seeing more than 50 different species. By the… read more

Rodrigo is a good person to have around. The way he describes himself is correct. On the finca everything went smoothly and his interactions with another couple of French volunteers overcame language differences. Having lived in the US for some years, he had no problem communicating in English, and his pleasant behaviour to all made him well… read more

Ha sabido estar para ayudar en todo lo que fuera necesario, y ser partícipe de las dinámicas familiares, y a la vez ha sabido también ser siempre discreto… read more

Ser casi vegano con la deliciosa comida que preparan fue súper fácil, e incluso nos pusimos a una dieta juntos. El trabajo en la casa que están renovando siempre es agradable con su… read more

Rodrigo was very quiet and respectful of the space and easy to communicate with. Even though he didn't bring any specific skills that were relevant to any building or gardening projects, he was eager to follow instructions, learn and carry out the tasks we agreed on. He offered to cook and was also very tidy. It was a pleasure hosting Rodrigo and… read more

I spent a couple of days with Gabriel at his finca and it was great. He's a sweet person with a huge heart, we had great conversation at night during dinner by the fire. Was nice learning about composting, solar panels, recycling water and olive trees (I've pruned some around the house and loved the way they looked after some care). Thanks Gabo… read more
