Josh is a fun guy to hang out with. It's a great place to relax, take in the island, and work on different projects around the house.

My friend and I loved our stay, I would definitely recommend volunteering here!! Josh is a great host- the house is clean and comfortable, the work is manageable, and the environment is safe/chill. During my stay we mostly did landscaping. It's a short walk to the river, and you can rent Josh's car for pretty cheap to get to the nearby beaches. He also has three adorable dogs and two kittens!

Josh was an awesome host. As a young woman, sometimes it can get a bit hard to travel alone; Josh provides a safe space where anyone can freely express themselves without judgement. He loves getting to know other people and is very social. The tasks that were expected of us were reasonable, as he caters to the capabilities and schedules of everyone. He understands that not everyone who comes has worked with the equipment or done certain tasks; Josh is a really good teacher, which makes the experience even more fun if you take advantage of this opportunity of learning something new.

I had an overall great experience! We stayed in a space separate from the hosts house which made me feel very comfortable. The hours that we worked were very much up to us and we could wake up whenever we wanted. I learned how to use different equipment for maintaining the area behind the hosts house. We were also able to rent the car and I felt very welcome staying there. Josh really appreciated communication and honesty so there is no need to hold anything back.
