I couldn't recommend this experience more! Staying with Sarah and her family was truly special. I learnt so much working with Sarah in the garden, and it was fascinating listening to her and learning from everything she knows. Her stepfather was also absolutely lovely, and I'm so grateful they shared their culture, local area and delicious food with us, especially what we gathered with our own hands! Thank you for your patience with my English and for always encouraging me out of my comfort zone. I'd come back in a heartbeat! 💛

Our experience with Sarah and Andrew was amazing! They are incredibly kind, generous and welcoming, and we felt at home from the beginning. We learned so much about gardening, growing and harvesting vegetables, preserving food, caring for the land and sustainable living. They were always happy to share their knowledge with us. It was truly a privilege to work with them. We leave with new skills, wonderful memories and lots of gratitude. We would absolutely recommend this experience! ❤️

I had a wonderful experience living with Sarah and Andrew. We managed to exchange different cultures and lifestyles and I significantly improved my English by communicating with them. The hosts were kind, caring, respectful and most importantly curious about my own culture, which I value deeply as part of the program is cultural exchange and not only volunteer work. I would highly recommend to other worldpacker travellers to stay with Sarah and Andrew and the positive experience is almost guaranteed!

Sarah and Andrew were great. They were very kind to us during our stay. We worked on a variety of projects with them from digging a trench, working in the garden, and closing down the pools for the season. Hours were laid out very clearly and they supported our adventures on days off. Would highly recommend staying with these great hosts! Food and company was exceptional
