Thank you Yannick and Letizia for this wonderful first worldpacker experience! They are very kind, inspiring and funny people and always made me feel welcome. I learned so much about sustainability through my stay. I mostly helped in the garden and with the animals but the work always varies. For the meals there is always fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden and cooking together and trying new recipes was a lot of fun. The nature around is also very beautiful and there is a lot to explore. Already missing it!

My week at the farm is a week I'll never forget. Letizia and Yanik's farm is a beautiful property filled with lovely animals, fresh food, and honest conversations. Letizia and Yanik are incredibly smart, funny, welcoming and mindful people. They always made sure that I was comfortable and happy. I learned a lot about sustainability, caring for animals, growing food, and new cultures. I hope to be back again 😊
