I am an older woman, living on five mostly undeveloped acres just outside Roswell, N.M. (yes, THAT Roswell) who needs help caring for my animals (llamas, goats, chicken ducks, and cats), tending my gardens, and, since I currently have a broken hip, helping me get to doctor's/therapy appointment, and indoor chores than can't be done from a wheelchair. (Housekeeping and laundry)

I highly recommend the home to those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. This was my first Worldpackers adventure, and Karen, along with her helpers, made it an unforgettable journey. The tasks assigned to us were never overwhelming or impossible; Karen ensured we had flexible working hours, allowing us to find a comfortable balance between work and exploration. If you are seeking a volunteer opportunity that encompasses both purpose and natural beauty, the home is an ideal choice.

The home full of good stories from around the world and has a cozy place to escape out in the nice quite prairies of New Mexico! The Work Is nice and at your own pace, a great place to brush up on some technical skills, for example Karen taught me to work with dry wall and paneling during my stay.

As this was my first experience of this sort, I probably wasn't as prepared as others who travel in this style. I went for a spiritual experience, in order to connect with the universe as well as the earth, and was able to find just what I came for. However, while Karen is very kind and made me feel comfortable and welcome, one should know beforehand that amenities are very limited, (except Wi-Fi and hot water!) and her property requires quite a bit of attention and cleaning. Be prepared to fall in love with all of her animals!

And sometimes not even the water if we accidentally heave the hose on and run the tank dry :-(
But yes, this is a very dusty, dirty environment that's been mistreated for quite a while, so if you're not prepared for desert living and lots of cleanup this might not be for you.

I enjoyed my stay with the host, she made it a welcoming and cozy environment. I especially loved hanging out with all of the animals. Roswell is a great place to find alien themed attractions and watch the stars. I'll miss everyone and I'll definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

The hosts were all very kind during my experience. I had a great time feeding the llamas, goats, chickens, and ducks. I recommend going in the cooler months but if you do go in the summer make sure to drink lots of water!!
