>>WE HAVE ONE VOLUNTEER SPOT AVAILABLE STARTING JULY 14TH. <<
Join us in Delfim Moreira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, to help build a sustainable A-frame cottage using natural materials like bamboo, adobe (pau-a-pique), and recycled elements. This is a hands-on bioconstruction project where you’ll learn eco-friendly building techniques while living close to nature. Come be part of this experience rooted in sustainability, simplicity, and creativity.
Olá! My name is Ray, I'm 39 years journalist living with my dog Tutuco in a cute rural neighborhood. After traveling through Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe and the Americas I decided to create my own little place.
The current project is to build a cottage from the scratch in a land 10 min from my current house. It is in a rural area 7km from the town Delfim Moreira. It's nice if you have construction experience, but it's okay if you are a beginner.
About the accommodation. You will have access to high speed Internet, a private room, food to cook, grocery store nearby, burger joint and even a public health center close to the accommodation. You also will have a mountain bike available.
In our free time we will have the opportunity to know mountains trails, waterfalls and amazing nature spots around. There are trails for different levels of difficulty. I used to work as a tour guide, so you can trust my recommendations. You can see some pictures that I took here.
I'm a vegetarian, so I can cook sometimes, but if you want eat meat you have to cook yourself. (:
If you are looking for a peaceful place close to nature and cold weather, you just found it!
