Spending all this time with Lirón, Niv, and Zoe was wonderful!super loving family The shared lunch, made with so much love and flavor, the conversations, the hours of play with Zoe. They don't just open the doors of their home to you, They also open the doors of their hearts to you. They were always attentive to ensure you enjoyed the place, with recommendations Places to visit, or any information you need, . They became my new family! All my love.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly, and kind and they treated me like family during my petsitting stay. They gave me great travel suggestions which helped me navigate the island with ease. The house I stayed in was quaint and comfortable, and it had everything I needed to enjoy the camping. Each morning I woke up to green vistas with cows grazing and gorgeous ocean views. I was able to be in stillness and peace, immerse myself in nature, and hike to incredible areas right from the property. Thank you Liron and Niv!!

My experience at Liron's place was amazing! From the beginning I felt welcomed and loved. Liron and her family ( Niv her husband and Zoe their daughter) are the most beautiful, caring and kind people. I volunteered with a friend and we were planning to stay for a week but we loved it so much that we stayed for almost a month! The work was very diverse and not to difficult. We got plenty of time off when we needed. I felt super comfortable and respected. The island is very quiet but also full of beautiful nature and plenty of things to do . Im already thinking about coming back!

We spent a month on the island and had a wonderful time with Liron, Niv, and their sweet daughter Zoe. They were incredibly kind, always making sure we had everything we needed and more. The work was very relaxed, Liron was a calm and understanding host, and her cooking is amazing! Niv was super friendly, always up for a chat, and happy to give us a lift whenever he could. And it was always fun to spend time and play with Zoe ❤️ Overall we had a great experience, really connected with the family, and enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful island.

Simplemente increíble. Todo lo que esperaba y más. Liron es una mujer y una mamá admirable y fue un orgullo conocerla y poder ayudarla. La verdad no sabía a lo que iba pero mi experiencia fue perfecta, no habían horarios rigidos sino más bien tareas diarias, la comunicación es abierta y me sentí muy cómoda en todo momento. La comida era increible. Es un lugar perfecto para desconectarse y caminar o meterse al mar. No hay muchos comercios pero hay varios pueblos pequeños con piscinas naturales que se pueden visitar y estan a menos de 30 minutos caminando.
