Building & Repairing, Farming, and Gardening
Felippe is a sweet soul, very easy to have around. He is helpful and interested in trying new things. We strongly recommend him as a volunteer. Good luck with your adventures in the Alps this winter - remember to start on the green ski slopes and stay safe!!
I had an amazing time with Sam, James & Noodles! They're such great people, king and funny. Their house is beautiful and very comfortable. And the food they provide is just delicious. I felt home away from home! 💙
Thank you Felippe! Good luck with your 5* guests in the alps!
Cleaning, Building & Repairing, and Gardening
I would absolutely recommend Felippe! He never stopped smiling, was always very polite, sociable and was a pleasure to have him stay in our home. He was punctual to start work but, at the same time, he could not be called a 'clock watcher' which was much appreciated. Felippe was able to follow instruction, was quick to learn and was great at tasks in the garden which required attention to detail. There was some very physical work in bad weather, which was tiring, but he did not complain. He now has skills in handling garden machinery and tools and he was a fast learner.
I had an great time at the home. Jo and Steve are amazing people, kind, gentle and generous. I learned about composting, environmental, gardening. The work can be hard but they're always around showing what need to be done and they have all necessary tools for safety. We had so much fun together with amazing dinners, going out in the cities around and also playing Uno. I'll never forget this experience and I hope I can come back some day. Already miss you, guys 💙 thanks for everything!
Hi Felippe, Thanks so much for a lovely review. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you here - it was great fun hearing about your adventures and sharing those Uno matches! We'd love to see you back chez nous but I'll keep you posted anyway on the tulips and hyacinths! Bon voyage, Felippe!
Social Work
Ele participou da ação de limpezas de praias promovida pelo WP, beach clean up, foi muito bem nesses dois dias que passou conosco. Pelo o que nos foi apresentado, nos pareceu um excelente voluntário.
Fazer a limpeza com a galera foi incrível! Primeiro por aprender um pouco mais sobre o impacto negativo causado pelo lixo na praia. Por participar ativamente e ter esse momento de cuidado com o nosso planeta e também por poder atingir outras pessoas, tanto no momento da limpeza, quanto com a divulgação nas redes! Essa experiência é mais do que recomendada! Juntos somos mais fortes 🌱💚
