Description
Nos encantan el senderismo y el ciclismo, la tranquilidad y paz de estar en plena naturaleza y los animales. Las ciudades grandes no nos llaman mucho la atención, preferimos conocer gente en espacios más relajados y compartir experiencias en las que podemos aprender nuevas habilidades y enfocar en nuestro desarrollo personal.

En workaways anteriores, hemos aprendido sobre el cultivo (quitando malezas, produciendo carbón, preparando la tierra y sembrando hortalizas), y la construcción (haciendo adobe y mezclando cemento, cavando trincheras y baños secos).

Nuestras pasiones fundamentales son escribir, enseñar y crear contenido. Charlette está en el medio de escribir una novela y Mikkel está creando videos de Youtube sobre temas medioambientales. Entretanto trabajamos como profesores de inglés a tiempo parcial.

Laissé par le workawayer (Charlette & MIKKEL) pour l'hôte (Come share a piece of ...)

We spent almost three weeks at Thomas's lodge and it was an experience.
LOCATION> The location is really lovely, surrounded by coconut and orange trees with a tropical forest that Thomas gives new volunteers a tour of at the weekend (the jungle tour). An hour and a half walk will take you to a nice waterfall, or if you prefer to stay on-site, the… read more river near the property leads up to some natural swimming pools and places to jump.
FACILITIES> The facilities are VERY basic. While we were there, we were sharing one toilet between up to 12 people. There is also only one cooking stove, so communal cooking is recommended for lunches and dinners (DISCLAIMER: meals are not free and volunteers have to pay 5 dollars a day for food). During our stay, there were also problems with the electricity and the water supply (either no water at all, or brown water). Thomas has since thankfully provided filters, but bringing your own filter bottle is highly recommended (there is also a natural spring near the river, so you can also fill your bottle there).
WORK > Perhaps it was the period we were there, but we were quite disappointed to find that were no opportunities to make coconut oil or soap and the re-forestation programme had been put on hold. Instead, almost all our work revolved around construction. For people looking to get fit, this is the place for you. Most days we were carrying rocks and sand up and down the hill, mixing cement and digging holes. Apart from one local who came to teach us how to make adobe clay during two days, there were no local workers on-site and all the work was done by the volunteers and Thomas. Although we were happy for the exercise, organisation and delegation of work were lacking and we did not feel that we were learning much, especially as our main objective for coming to the ecolodge was to learn about cultivation, forestation, eco-living and, most importantly, how to make coconut oil.
COMMUNITY > Living with people from different countries and walks of life was fantastic. Solving daily challenges together, cooking as a team, playing games and evening work-outs made the time there very special, and I would even say magical. Unfortunately, we didn't have many opportunities with working with the local community which was a shame as we had expected to work with them on various eco-projects.
Overall, the experience was interesting. Although we did not learn anything about cultivating, soap or coconut oil, we did learn a lot about living together as a big jungle family. Thomas has since got a motor for the coconut factory so hopefully the next volunteers will have the opportunity to do something other than construction work.

These guys are great! They have a really nice energy to them. They are smart and hard working. They didn't shy away from some of the harder work we had to do on the farm. We would be happy to receive them again and recommend them for all your volunteer projects!

This was our first experience volunteering and it was incredible. Kind and caring people who were always there to offer help and recommendations. We learnt so much about permaculture and farm life, the meals were excellent and the environment was just what we were looking for. Peaceful and calm but with the social aspect that made the experience… read more
