It was my first time using World Packers and I loved it!! I volunteered in Portugal and it was a natural and beautiful place What a lovely place for FARO. People are kind and animals are cute, so it's healing. My host was perfect. My host always has a good smile that makes me feel good in the morning. I was so happy while I was in Portugal. I don't think I'll forget it. I want to go to Portugal again🤗🤗🤗

Alvor is a little paradise on earth. Cristina and Joaquim are welcoming and nice people. The accommodations were more than enough and we had access to everything listed on the app. Overall the volunteers are amazing people and we're glad to have made really good friends during our stay. Working hours are always respected and the work is not too hard but physical. You must have in mind to be flexible because you usually don't know what work you'll be doing until the day of. Cristina is such a good host and we will have great memories of Alvor and how welcoming her and her family were to us.

I had a great experience volunteering in Alvor for two weeks! I stayed there during the low season and the work was always manageable and I never worked over 5 hours a day. You never know what you're going to do before going to work so be ready to be flexible! The work I did was mostly cleaning, taking care of the garden and farm work. Cristina was really kind and always in a good mood :) I'm grateful that I got to visit Algarve and to have met some really special people!

Christina is a fantastic host, very attentive and responsive. During the period we stayed, we learned a lot, worked and felt at home. Alvor is a paradise in the middle of the Algarve, a very friendly and pleasant little town. We loved the experience of working at the hostel. We recommend.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and felt lucky to have been given this experience. Beautiful location and really clean accommodation with a lovely host too. Christina was always attentive and made sure we were comfortable from arrival late in the evening from flight delays. Never worked over the 5 hours a day agreed upon and the work was always manageable. Wish we could've stayed longer!
