The Experience

Arles is a very touristic town known for its roman history, architecture and gastronomy. There are also many places to discover nearby that are accessible by local transportation.

This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't be more grateful! Kim is a funny and kind host who is always making sure you are comfortable (even when there is a spider in your room and you are scared to take it out by yourself😂)! She also explains every task in detail and makes sure the hours are respected which i appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to the home to visit!

It was an incredible first Worldpackers experience! I had the chance to arrive during “Le Festival du Dessin”, which allowed me to truly experience the artistic soul of the home. I would definitely recommend this experience to people interested in art, culture, and creative environments. The accommodation was very comfortable, the working hours were always respected, and the host was lovely, open, and easy to talk to.

This was my first volunteer and I really like it, I learn a lot of new things and she's really kind and tell you what to do and how to do it and if you're not doing it right she tells you, she's sometimes there and do the things together so that was nice, she advice me in a lot of things like visiting towns or cultural things to do so I like that, what really didn't expect it's that the day of my arrival she change the dates so I was really confused and afraid because I have everything plan and i already bought my train ticket so I have to find another place for the days left

Kim is really a warm, friendly and caring person, I can say we connected 😊 The work was very varied, I helped her to clean the B&B and do check-ins, to manage the photo gallery and other some small household tasks. It was mostly indipendent, and it was easy to discuss expectations with her. I was lucky to have a small and nice apartment all for me, which I really enjoyed (but the accomodation may change). I liked the home and I have the chance to visit lots of places in Provence. I would recommend the experience to anyone who wants flexible, independent work and to discover the local culture.
