Joachim, a young Catalan traveller stayed three weeks in February/March this year. Disenchanted with his work in tourism and driven by a desire to reconnect with nature, he arrived with great enthusiasm and motivation. He spent his time productively reading about different aspacts of permaculture, building a greenhouse from pallets, helping out with vegetarian cooking and working on the land.
