  PROJECT 1: Porto - Its a building’s located in a historical place in the city. The experience will be very genuine. During the time off helpers can have a great experience to have contact with locals, neighbors. The building is fully served by transports so helpers can travel in the city, can have a bike and can travel around the country in their free time. (BOOKED UNTIL JAN25)
  
  PROJECT 2: Vilar do Pinheiro: Its a kind of a countryside house needing a lot of care. Vilar do Pinheiro is a small village, 20`` from Porto by car or 30`` by metro. The house is 10`` walking distance to metro station and 3`` walking from the village center where is possible to find almost everything..
  The house DO NOT have the basic condition to live but the project is exactly that. Provide condition to live, renovating the house, starting from doing a bathroom and a kitchen.
