It was my first Worldpackers experience. The host was disrespectful and unwilling to compromise. His lack of structure when it comes to definitive hours (he's on “ocean time”) led to an altercation where he threw an object at me to gain my attention because he couldn't be bothered to walk a few feet to let me know my shift was beginning. When I tried to set a boundary about that, he ridiculed me and said he didn't like my energy/face. He retroactively claimed I didn't work the full 5 hrs, but I completed every task happily. Message me if you'd like my full opinion. This is too remote to risk.

Es la Única calificación con puntaje bajo que tengo, inclusive en airbnb mi puntaje es casi perfecto, la experiencia con la voluntaria fue pésima y puso en riesgo mi calificación con mis clientes, que no tuvieron buenos comentarios hacia ella.

I had an AMAZING time on the boat. This is such a unique volunteering experience and I am so grateful for my time here! Most of the work including cooking for the guests, cleaning, and learning about navegation! I was able to join the guests when visiting different islands as well. Nicolás is full of energy, very respectful, and a great host. I can't wait to return some day :)

Estar en the boat ha sido una de las mejores experiencias que he vivido. No solo por aprender el funcionamiento diario de la vida en un the boat sino por poder descubrir y navegar por un auténtico paraíso como lo es San Blas. Además de tener como anfitrión a Nico que, en todo momento, está atento a que te sientas como en casa y disfrutes de la experiencia mientras aprendes. Lo recomiendo 100%!
