The Experience

Hi, we're Jonny and Ron! We're developing our family farm into a Farm Retreat, in Negros Occidental, and we're looking for volunteers to help us at the very beginning. We're building it from the ground up. We want the retreat to be simple, sustainable and welcoming, and a good place for people to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Jonny’s was my first Worldpackers experiences and I don’t think there could have been a better fit. Jonny and Ron were very lovely and welcoming, all around a blast to be around with high energies. The work days were short and helped me to learn some hands on carpentry skills. The accommodations was very cute, outdoor showers were refreshing and we we a short would to the beach for amazing sunsets every night.

The hostel is absolutely beautiful!! Located right on the beach and near many cute bars and shops. We stayed in a bungalow in which we also started to build. I learned a lot from Jonny and would recommend to any volunteer with good work ethic. The staff was lovely and I truly enjoyed my time on Siquior! Thank you Jonny for everything and hope to be back someday:))

Our first experience couldn't have been better. Jonnie, Ron, and Billie are lovely and make you feel at home. We learned about eco-cottages construction and had fun during the process. It felt like summer camp. We would definitely do it again.

This was our first Worldpackers and we couldn't have been happier with this one. Jonny and Ron are amazing people Ron with his kindness and Jonny with his drive to get things done (shoutout to Billie the sweetest dog ever) The work was hard sometimes especially with the blazing sun heat and humidity but it was worth every minute. Seeing it come together what we built or just tidying up was truly amazing. Thank you so much to everyone that made our stay so welcoming 🖤

It was a truly wonderful experience. Each day I had a different task, like repairs, making beds, sculpting, cleaning, walking the dog, and finding coral in the ocean.

The vibes are really good, and Jonny is a great manager. I highly recommend it.
