She is such an amazing person. She made me feel comfortable from day one. We spent so much time together. I would say that because of her, I have so many good memories from Switzerland. I love her and would love to go back to Geneva just to meet her.🌹😌😄

My friend and I had a 10 day stay at Elios place where we did some gardening and painting along with social media work. Elio is a great host where she made breakfast and lunch for us and provided us with a cosy place to live! She's a very spiritual and kind individual and even though she's still learning about permaculture, she puts in great effort to maintain her garden for a cause! Weekends are off where we took a few trips to France and it was a great stay in general! :) please hmu for any questions!!

We feel disapointed and deceived because the experience is completely different from what shown in the Worldpackers platform, and what yold us on videocall. The garden, it wasn't what we expected based on the photos we saw, since there were no plants to tend to; everything was dry and neglected. We felt that our work there was trying to revive a garden that hadn't been taken care of. Otherwise, the host left on vacations the second day and left us alone in the house and garden. We didn't learn gardening skills. Apart from that, the meals promised were not fully provided.

Overall, I feel disappointed and deceived because the experience is completely different from what shows in the Worldpackers platform, and what the host told me by videocall. As for the garden, it wasn't what I expected based on the photos I saw, since there were no plants to tend to; everything was dry and neglected. I came to share and be part of a project and the host were not there. Otherwise, I came here to improve my gardening skills and I come back home with the same knowledge. Apart from that, the meals included in the deal were not provided.

Excelente! Elio es muy ámame, sonriente y muy respetuosa. En cuanto a la comida, dos es vegetariana, sin embargo, hubo varios almuerzos en los que nos incluyó pescado , e incluso nos hizo hamburguesas. Ella prepara el desayuno siempre y el almuerzo y a veces nos consentio con chocolates y pastel de chocolate. El trabajo fue muy fácil, yo debía mejorar el SEO de sus sitios webs. Los horarios normalmente se respetan, a veces nos “pasábamos” pero porque tomábamos más tiempo en el desayuno o no terminábamos las funciones. Fue muy agradable ser parte de su proyecto.
