New volunteers! – Boodaville Barcelona 2024

Hey ! We have good news about the 2024 Boodaville project! Two volunteers have the lucky opportunity to join us in this beautiful Barcelona adventure! 

Let’s hear some of their stories.

Let’s start with you Frida :

“ Hey everybody ! I’m Frida and I’m going to tell you a little bit more of my story and why I’m here today in the Boodaville project ! 

I am 18 years old and we can say I’m entering active life because I’ve just finished high school. 

After all of this years of formal school and linear course I wanted to leave the traditional way. 

I found the opportunity of a sabbatical year and I seized it. Because I’m feeling lost with a lot of questions like, I dont know where I’m going in the future ? , where is my place ? what direction I want to give for my life ?

And also I have a lot of affirmations and clear desires : I want to help people, I want to be useful, I want to give my skills for a project meaningful to me. I want to learn always more about life, people, culture, skills. I want to discover, experience new things and stay open. I hope to find a way of sustainable life consistent with my ethics. 

So I found the project of Boodaville 2024, I was immediately very interested. 

I knew nothing about permaculture, but the concept attracted me and I wanted to find out more. 

Now I’m volunteering for this wonderful project and I think I’ll be able to help it as much as he’ll help me answer my questions. “

Okayy and now we listen Antonia !

“Hey, I’m Antonia, a 20-year-old nature enthusiast from Germany and one of the new seedlings at Boodaville 🌱

Hiking, paddling or simply soaking up the sun, I love being outdoors in nature as well as making music with either my voice or my violin. But same as Frida, I still unsure about my future so I wanted to give myself some time to figure it out.

I’m here to dive into the world of gardening, learn about the basics of permaculture, and hope to gain insights into other eco-projects and initiatives along the way. 

And I will definitely be telling you about another such project in the coming months: Can Masdeu, a communal living project above the hills of Barcelona in which we will live, creating the perfect balance to the vibrant city life of Barcelona.

I am very grateful for this unique opportunity to become part of a community and learn to adopt a more eco-friendly and conscious way of living. Let’s grow together, laugh with the wind, and dance in the rain – because learning should always be this much fun! Stay tuned for updates and stories both on social media and the Boodaville blog.

Let’s make this eco-adventure unforgettable!” 🌞
