Volunteering with the home and Alessandra in Firenze was an unforgettable experience. From day one, I enjoyed a true intercultural exchange, attending a Hindi music concert, meeting Italian families, joining community events, and leading handmade workshops that helped me practice Italian and better understand the culture. I also supported Alessandra with office work and built a special bond with the home. The delicious vegetarian food, beautiful walks near the lake, and warm atmosphere made this experience truly enriching. Grazie the home cuore! ❤️

Alessandra and the home are incredibly welcoming hosts, always making sure guests feel well taken care of. They promote interaction with volunteers and hosts from other properties and often organize outings together. The food is delicious and the volunteer activities are light. There's also a proper office for digital nomads. It's a great opportunity to experience local life and meet people with international experience. Thank you for the opportunity to meet you, connect with volunteers and other hosts, and learn more about your reality. Until next time!

This was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better host. Alessandra made me feel at home from day one, and the home is such a sweet person. I had the chance to immerse myself in Italian culture, meet wonderful people, and practice my Italian every day. The house is warm and welcoming, the bus to Florence stops just around the corner, and Alessandra is a great host. Thank you, Alessandra and the home, for your kindness, your generosity, and for making this experience so special. I will always remember my time with you, and I hope our paths cross again someday.

Chandra and the home are truly wonderful and special. I felt very lucky to live with them and help in their daily life. They're full of love and kindness, always helping others with generosity. I was inspired by the charity projects they have done and still do and by their genuine passion for helping people specially of Chandra. It was amazing to see how consciously and peaceful they live in their home. the home has amazing life stories, and they made me feel completely at home. The activities were easygoing, and Alessandra was always kind and flexible. It was a beautiful experience! 💛

Alessandra and the home are incredible people. I was very happy to be able to meet and spend days with people as good as they are. I even learned a few things in Italian. The working hours are flexible; I could adapt with my remote work without any problem. I had a room just for me, with a desk to work at, I had a kitchen just for me and a separate entrance from the house. Alessandra gave me several tips for outings, encouraged me to get to know the places and helped me a lot with the logistics. If you come to their home, be prepared to receive a lot of affection and attention!

I had an amazing opportunity at the house, I couldn't have chosen a better place for my first international experience with worldpackers. Alessandra is extremely kind and attentive. Everything went as well as could be. I also mention the wonderful food she prepares with a lot of care and dedication. I am grateful for everything and wish all the best to Alessandra and the house.

Thank you for having me at your home, Ale!
I was alone; Ale and her mother had to leave for a few days. The house was quiet, the work was only in gardening.
It was fine. I didn't feel very safe with a neighbor, but of course that has nothing to do with Ale and her mom; it was simply a somewhat awkward part of the experience.
Thanks !!!
