As a volunteer I believe Egypt is a good host, she took us out to explore the island and taught us a little about the history. My living situation could have been better but I personally didn't let it stop me from having a good time. My other volunteers made my experience better for sure and as for the work it was very physically demanding to which I could not handle at times but as for the future volunteers I do not believe it will be as hard due to the demolition being done. Food is included but it may be the same things or leftovers, so be prepared to buy your own food when you get bored.

Home cooked lunches are a courtesy to show appreciation to our volunteers and facilitate camaraderie. Volunteers are under no obligation to partake, and are provided with full kitchen facilities where they can store and prepare whatever they would like outside of what's provided.

Egypt was accommodating and made sure to get us equipped for whatever tasks needed to be tackled on any given day. Communication was abundant. She showed us some hotspots in and around the guest house as well which lended to some good recreation! It was fun working with the team she put together. I'd stay here again.

Egypt is very welcoming! There's a beautiful beach close to the property and the best bakery/lunch restaurant across the highway(walking the hills are worth it) This is a car centered area!! The neighborhood felt safe day and night. If you have favorite & must need food items, I recommend bringing groceries before getting to the property, there's no grocery store nearby! Egypt however is very accommodating and makes the most delicious meals! The work was very rewarding! Egypt definitely has a heart of gold 💛

Was an absolute pleasure to work exchange with you Dinájreeah! Thanks so much for the kind words. To clarify for future volunteers, in addition to the Puerto Rican, bakery and luncheonette, just 3 blocks away down the hill there is a a mini Market, as well as major grocery store less than a mile and a half away. We're also lucky to have nearby grocery stores that offer free delivery. So even though it's nice to have a car there are definitely workarounds!
