I had very good experience overall at Liz volunteering program. I learned a lot of skills from her and she was always ready to help and guide even for small problem. My work was very easy with 50% housekeeping and 50% gardening tasks. Volunteer get wide variety of food options and she always make sure fridge is fully stocked. The location is really well connected with public transport.
Highly recommended for all volunteer looking for position in sustainability projects.

My time with Liz was incredible! The gardening and housekeeping tasks were very manageable, especially once you get into the routine of things. We had lots of time off to go for hikes, bike rides and explore. Liz also has delicious recipes with all the things we get from the garden, and great recommendations for where to go to avoid the very crowded/touristy places! I loved it so much I'm already planning when I can come back! 10/10

My time with Liz was beautiful. I got to experience all the beauty of Interlaken and the surrounding areas—the lakes, the hikes, and the breathtaking beauty of the Alps. If you know how to follow specific instructions, are open to the sustainable lifestyle Liz promotes, and are an active person who enjoys nature and exploring, then I believe this is a beautiful space for you.

My time with Liz in Interlaken was really great! The work was fair and we had plenty of time off. Also Liz was straightforward with how she wanted things done. Picking vegetables and cooking them for dinner that night, playing with her kittens, swimming in the beautiful lake, and hiking every day off were the best parts! 😁
