Corrine is an awesome woman! I enjoyed having fun interesting conversations with her while assisting her with her housing projects. She's down to earth and I love her sarcasm especially when I have my silly moments 😂 I never met a woman who works as hard and knows so much about fixing up houses as her. Props to her! 🙌💪 Its nice practicing some repairing skills and learn a few new things. I recommend this if you can handle some physical work and getting a little dirty...if not, good luck and hope you can handle it 😂 Im gonna miss helping Corrine and the fun conversations we had. Good times!

It was really a pleasure working with Corinne. She is always full of energy and it affects me, so working with her was always effcient. The work was mainly maintenance and cleaning the houses, I did learned many new and practical skills. Sometimes there is a bit physically demanding, but it wasn't difficult, Corinne would also balanced the intensity of the work and respected the hours. The accommodation was comfortable and convenient, with supermarkets and buses to Dallas, Fort Worth and the guest house nearby. Unluckily I only stayed two weeks and so sad to leave.

Corine is kind, funny, respectful and creative. She helped me learn new things and gave me a beautiful room for 3 weeks. I just sometimes didn't understand her English because of her British accent, but then we spoke in Spanish. I recommend going through this experience if you want to spend some time in Dallas.
