  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  As we aren't local by our self, we can't offer you a Portuguese, cultural exchange by our self. But there will be most likely other Volunteers, friends, visitors or even family around from all over the world, to get a width cultural exchange anyway.
  
  About learning, it depends a lot, how long you will stay and how fast you learn. If you stay longer, there a for sure quit some opportunities.
  
  About socializing:
  From 2024 we will not host more then 2-3 Volunteers at the same time, but often we have also friends, family and guest around with you can hung up. Beside of that, we are kind of busy with our own life, but also happy to share some time, by sharing dinner, play beach volleyball or cards together ;) In total there is space for up to 15 ppl.

  Autres infos...

  we are open to any kind of personality, as long you are really motivated to get things done and have some life-experience (in best case 25+).
  
  For long term volunteers special arrangements can be made.
  
  In your off-time you can do:
  * If you are mobile by your own, you can do for sure more things but there is also good public transport...
  - hang up at the beach, public pool (30min walk)
  - explore the town or make a day trip to Ponta Delgada
  - use the indoor slackline and boulder wall
  - play dart
  - play table tennis or basketball
  - explore the surroundings / go hiking
  - do yoga, meditate, read, relax in a hammock
  - go swimming
  - do board or card games
  - visit waterfalls or hot springs
  - ...
  
  The closest village is Povoação ~ 15 min to walk, where you can find everything you need. But the closest shopping or bar is just ~5min to walk.
  
  BE AWARE: We can't offer a daily shuttle service (:
  
  The best way to get here from the airport is to take a shuttle (10min) or walk (40min) to Ponta Delgada, from where you can take a bus (2h) until "Povoação". Or if you can afford it, take a rental car.
