The work was exactly as others have described here on the platform. I bought bread in the morning, walked the dogs twice a day, helped with the garden and olive picking, and made dinner (he always tells us what he wants to eat, and if we don't know the recipe, he helps us out, which is great). I had a room with a bathroom all to myself, which was great! Michael also took me to different spots on the island so we could hike with the dogs. Overall, a good experience!

My time inthe farm was such a great experience! After a long three months of backpacking, it was so great to slow down, unpack my belongings, and immerse myself in the local culture. Michael is very big on supporting local business, so you naturally get to immerse yourself in the local culture very quickly after visiting the baker, butcher, and mini mart owner almost daily. Michael was more than fair with our allowance of free time, and even took time out of his weekends to show us around the island. I would recommend and I would also come back!

My stay at the farmwas my first experience with Worldpackers and the first time I travelled alone in general. the farmhas really beautiful nature and the farmhas a nice big garden. The work schedule are as described and very easy. I felt welcomed but sadly there weren't really volunteers my age during my stay so I felt a little lonely at the end. But in general I can really recommend this experience and I will definitely come back :)

I can't recommend it enough! Everything about it is perfect! I miss it already and I really want to go back. Michael, the host, is a person with a huge heart! He loves to serve, take care of the dogs and always cares about helping others. The work is not hard and Michael is very flexible. In the morning, we need to feed the chickens, walk the dogs, buy bread and organize breakfast and we help him in the garden. And at the end of the day, we walk the dogs and make dinner. the farmis 5 minutes away from the sea, and the island is very vibrant and peaceful!

My time here was really beautiful! Michael is such a kind soul and has a lot of ideas for the garden and house. I renovated the outdoorkitchen, did a lot of gardening, walked the dogs which I love to pieces and cared for the goose and chicken. In the morning the task is always getting bread for breakfast and in the evening the volunteers cook dinner. It's a really good social life, we eat together and speak about the task for the day, the working hours are more than reasonable. Michael loves showing the island on the weekend which was beautiful! Extendedy stay and could stay longer, thank you❤
