I really love my experience in the coliving, Melissa, Luis, Sra Gladys and all staff personal was so nice and kind, work is easy just some hours per day, and the rest you are free to enjoy the coliving, we had good breakfasts and I learned about Mexican culture and places to visit. Thank you so much to my EQUIPO LAUNDRY, and yes I recommend a lot 🇲🇽 👏🏻👏🏻

My experience work-trading at the coliving has been a joy. The work mainly consisted of cleaning rooms and apartments and doing laundry. The easy 18 hrs per week, over 3 days in a row, gave me ample time to exercise, explore PDC and chill at the countless beaches ⛱️ nearby. Listening to music and such while cleaning made the work more enjoyable and eating simple meals with the owners, employees, and other volunteers was a treat. The shared room for volunteers is comfortable, with an AC unit and an ensuite bathroom. This WP option is worthy of your consideration 👌.

I haven't actually started the volunteering yet. The staff room is very dirty, and the bathroom doesn't have a door, just a curtain, and it's right next to the beds. There are other volunteers in the room who work elsewhere and come back during the night, turning on the lights, talking loudly, and playing music. I couldn't adapt, so I left after the first day.

My 4 week volunteering experience at the coliving with Luis's team was one of the most amazing times of my life. Although it can be somewhat challenging if you don't speak Spanish like me, it's still manageable. You can choose different types of work to cover your free bed. Plus, it's rare to find a position where you only work a few days a week, allowing me to travel to nearby cities during my days off. The location is perfect, nestled between the local and the tourist area, making all the spots accessible by foot. I will never forget the wonderful members of the coliving team! 😁😁

The 4 weeks I spent doing this work exchange with Luis and his entire team (Sol, Ingrid, Ernesto, Melissa, Sandra, Belu, Nacho and Eduardo) were some of the best weeks of my life. The work is housekeeping so it is tiring but that is to be expected. Luis and his team were always understanding, flexible, caring, and most importantly they were fun to work with and live with! The work was as advertised and as were all the benefits i received as well. I am extremely glad i choose this program as my first work exchange and hope to come back to the coliving as a guest nest time im back in PDC
