My daughter & I have welcomed volunteers for over 12 years now & love meeting new people on their varied World journeys. The work is physically demanding-mucking out horses, goats & sheep. General maintenance & groundwork. Some renovation & decorating. Our property of 20 acres is 5 minutes walk from Confolens town & in beautiful countryside for exploring. I am a fully qualified English teacher, willing to help out with language difficulties.

We have loved our experience in Confolens!
It is true that it can seem like a lot of work at first. During the first week, you may feel a little stressed, but you gain confidence every day. Louise, Abby and Blaine are wonderful people. They make you feel at home from the very beginning.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to spend time with loving animals, meet lovely people, and is interested in learning something new every day!
Thanks for everything! xxx

Louise, Abby and Blane were the most interesting little family with such a unique story. I learned so many new skills and got to meet some of the sweetest animals with all their own personalities. I would easily recommend this experience to anyone who hasn't already experienced a Worldpackers yet! I would recommend good waterproof shoes to anyone and to definitely apply !

If you are able to stay with Louise & Abby, do it I can't recommend it enough. I felt very welcomed right from the start, the working schedule consists mostly of taking care of the animals and some gardening in the morning and evening. Which means there is a lot of free time around lunch. The work is also enjoyable since you are mostly outside in the nature with the animals. After a week it already felt like home, never miss dinner, trust me and it's really nice to have a private room. Abby, Louise and Blaine are the kindest people and are always happy to answer questions.

You are so lucky if you get the chance to work with Louise, Abby, and Blaine. I had the most incredible experience and am leaving Confolens feeling like a new person, so much more knowledgeable about animals, plants, culture, and food. The food is unreal (I didn't know vegetables could taste that good). The town is so special, and the people make it even better. The work is fun and rewarding, and Louise takes her time to explain everything with so much patience that you always feel confident. And the animals… you're beyond lucky to spend time with them. I can't recommend this enough.
