The Experience

I have a 300 m² plot in Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, and I need help with moving in and cleaning. It can also help with home repairs and cleaning the project site. We need extra hands and extra minds to build our place! :)

I had a laugh with Amanda Sofia! Xilitla is a beautiful and interesting place, and Sofi made sure I was able to visit the attractions and waterfalls. There was also a film festival going on at the time, so we were lucky to go to lots of events! The tasks are mainly helping with cleaning and maintenance around the house and the apartment, I recommend being flexible and going with the flow, and that you like cats is important :) thanks for everything 💚

Amazing time with Sofia! She taught me so much about Mexico and Xilitla. She took me to waterfalls, tried the local food, and explored the nature. She is a wonderful host and I highly recommend her!

Sofía was very kind and attentive to me; however I decided to end the experience on the first day due to personal reasons and asked her to help me find a hotel, and she connected me with a person from Xilitla who runs a guesthouse.

The volunteer canceled as soon as she arrived. We asked her to be patient and moved her to an air-conditioned space that would provide the comfort she was seeking. I find her assessment unfair, given that she arrived and canceled. It had been explained to her hours before, before she accepted her visit! It was a bad experience, a dysfunctional volunteer placement.

A surreal experience in the broad sense of the word, Sofía is always very attentive to recommendations for doing activities in the locality and to sharing everything she can about many aspects of life.
All good with the volunteering hours and the activities.
Undoubtedly an experience worth having and sharing.

Fue una experiencia agradable, recibí recomendaciones para conocer lugares de la Huasteca Potosina. Las horas del voluntariado se respetaron y la conexión con la naturaleza fue satisfactoria.
