I spent 3 months in the home resort during the winter season and I loved it ! The job was easy and the work hours were respected. Working in the kitchen was really fun and the home team is really nice and welcoming. I can say it's the best place I've been voluntering so far and I'm already planning on coming back ! I would definitly recommend this experience if you like the countryside, the nature and working with cool people.

This was my first time travelling by myself, and using this app, but let me tell you something the home resort does not disappoint!! I loved it there, and I am already planning on coming back. The staff were amazing, especially Dan, who is such a good boss and is very understanding as he travelled as well. I can't wait to come back in a few years and see how it has developed. Thank you for my time at the home!!!
