The Experience

We are Emmanuel and Juliana and together with Kauê, our 8 years old child, we live in a small village in the Spanish Pyrenees. Juliana (Brazilian) is a teacher, singer and dancer while Emmanuel (Belgian) works as a regenerative consultant in the built environment. It is a pleasant place to live with a strong connection to nature, a garden based on permaculture principles and an interior biophilic design that makes you feel at home.

The home family is fantastic, the house is a special and comfortable place in the middle of the mountains, Kaue is a sweet and incredibly smart child with whom we played, learned and had fun. Manu has great knowledge from which we learned a lot. Juliana is very talented with a very generous warm spirit and Maya is a beautiful dog who was wonderful company the entire time. We always feel part of the family, a recommended place for any volunteer.

After spending five weeks in Bresca I can say that I couldn't have wished for a better first time volunteering experience. I felt welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived. The house is so cozy and the nature surrounding it is just beautiful. I rlly enjoyed going on walks with Maya. She is a wonderful dog. It was quite easy for me to connect with Kauê because he's an open person with a great sense of humour. I miss our talks and dancing sessions already. A big thank you to Ju and Manu for making this incredible time possible. They're wonderful people. I'll always keep u in my heart!

We had a wonderful experience at the home. We enjoyed playing with Kauê very much. He has his own funny humor, can understand others and is a colorful personality overall Juliana is a great mother and was always very kind. She values clear communication and makes sure to always do that. Manu cooks delicious food and we'll miss his singing:) As we didn't get to say goodbye to Kauê properly, we'll do it now. We will miss playing monster with you and the endless Catan plays. Hope you will find other glitches on your game and take others on your hours long river hikes. Maybe we'll meet again:)

Zora

The home is a beautiful place surrounded by beautiful nature. For me it was the perfekt place to feel reconnected to nature by taking nice walks with Maya. Juliana, Manu and Kauê are a amazing family that made me feel very welcome in their home. The taskes for me were mainly to do household tasks and spend time with Kauê. I had a lot of freedom in managing my time. I really enjoyed my stay in the home and couldn't wish for a better first volunteer experience.
