Maura and her community are great! It's a good place to start volunteering, I made so many friends and learned so much about teamwork. I hope to come back some day.

The organization house was great, the people really make the experience. You get really immersed into the culture and will learn some Italian pretty quickly. Maura was great and very understanding when it came to anything. You quickly get close to the people around the house and Maura kids are amazing, the sweetest people ever. It was my first Worldpackers experience and Im glad it was my first one! The tasks are fun and keep you busy and you learn some things on the way!

Maura's project in the Ligurian Mountains is something I am grateful I could contribute my time and effort to. The tasks were as shown on the site, off days were respected. The community there is really friendly and welcoming. I reccomend this place for people who'd like to experience the authentic italian countryside life, learn a lot and connect with nature to the fullest. The 1 thing that I struggled with was the language barrier we had. It made communicating with the host family a little bit challenging sometimes, so I advise you are open to learning italia along the way, or before u arriv

Everyone was very kind and helpful. :) I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people. The work was easy, and I had plenty of free time. The only thing I would recommend to future volunteers is to have at least a beginner level of Italian, as it would have made communication much easier.

Participating in this volunteer program was a very enriching experience for me. The house is surrounded by nature, and the work involves helping in the kitchen, cleaning certain areas, and working in the vegetable garden. Work hours are respected, and the food is excellent! For me, it was a really great experience!
