What a wonderful experience! Felt like a dream. Krisztina is such a sweetheart and amazing host, she welcomes you warmly in her cosy home and you are covered by nothing but (a little bit of hair) and love from her dogs. You’ll find everything you need in her casita! Krisztina is making sure you are comfortable and well fed ! What a cook!!! I will forever miss our dinner routine and the card games we used to play after every meal. Thank you Krisztina, Huevo, Yovi, Matilda and Chad. I will cherish this adventure forever. 🫶🏽

I had the most incredible month volunteering here!!! From day one, Krisztina was so kind and welcoming and I felt like I was part of a family with her and her beautiful dogs!! Everything was excellent! The accommodation was lovely and so comfortable. Walking the dogs was so enjoyable. And you get a great amount of free time to explore around the Lake. This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was amazing, I can't recommend it enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
