I only stayed two weeks with Glyn and Dan but they've been lovely hosts. Really engaging and talkative, I had such a great time with them. We mostly did some gardening work which was successful. They took me out on the weekend or on my last days and I had lots of fun with them. Pancho is such a lovely dog and enlightened my stay even more. I would always come back to them!

Thank you Ari for your kind review. We were very happy to host you and got a lot done due to your persistence and commitment to seeing a task through! Thank you and we wish you a very happy journey through England and home to Germany!

From the very first moment, their home felt like a second home, making leaving incredibly difficult.
Glyn and Danny are a fun, artistic couple with open minds shaped by many life experiences, and there is so much to learn from them. Pancho (he may seem like a dog, but he’s actually a little human) will steal your heart, and you’ll have no choice but to return to Teignmouth to see them again.
The tasks were easy and manageable, and Glyn was very flexible with schedules and changes. Painting the bedroom was enjoyable and enriching. Thank you all three! See you again!

It was a real pleasure to host you Laura. The wonderful thing about Worldpackers is the friends we make along the way! I'm very happy that we were at the start of your Worldpacker journey. Pancho is also asking when you're back again hahaha!

This was my first time volunteering and I had a lovely experience! Both Glyn and Danny were very welcoming and made sure I felt at home :) The tasks were pretty simple, I mostly just helped around the house and did whatever little tasks needed to be done at the moment. Teignmouth is a lovely city and there's some really nice places to explore, Glyn gave me good tips on where to go on my free time! And of course can't forget Pancho, what a unique little dog, miss him already! Thank you for a great two weeks!

This was my second time travelling through Worldpackers and the first staying at someone's home, which may seem it intimidating, but it wasn't at all. Glyn and Dan are very welcoming and comfortable sharing their space with other people. Tasks were simple and manageable, and Teignmouth is beautiful and close to other small towns that are worth a visit. Overall, a really good experience. Thank you!

I'm very grateful for my stay with Glyn, Dan & Pancho. They were very generous and caring hosts who really made an effort to accomodate for me. I enjoyed the work I was helping them with & they were very grateful for my contribution which was nicely rewarding. I came to them when I was feeling a bit homesick in my travels & they were very conscious of my feelings & gave me space but also support when I needed it. They were also great at actively suggesting things I could do to fill my time, explore the local areas & meet new people if I so wished. Their profile description is very accurate.

Thank you Libby for your kind review! We were very happy to host you and although sorry that you were homesick at times I'm glad we were able to offer you the right space snd support. It's natural to get these feelings sometimes especially in early years of being away from those we love. You were a perfect guest, and exactly what we needed at the time! Thank you so much for what you did for us and I hope we will hear from you on your travels!

It was an absolute pleasure staying with Glyn and Danny! Both were incredibly welcoming to their home, and were keen to help me explore Teignmouth and the surrounding areas! Teignmouth which seems small at first, offers lots to explore, with gorgeous art galleries, and lively pubs! And as the weather warms up, lots of beach to walk by and if you don't mind a chilly dip to swim in! The work is fair, and whilst occasional hard, if you are willing to put in the effort, Glyn and Danny make sure that in return you are well looked after, and have some really memorable days off!!

This was an amazing opportunity!! First off, Glyn & Dan were beyond fantastic!! Very loving and welcoming! As soon as I met them I knew I was going to love them! Second off!! The king of the house Pancho was the best! Once he warms up to you, he'll always want to be around you! He loves playing and being chased! He is the most handsome king in all of the land! The work was very easy and straightforward. I typically started work in the late morning and ended in early afternoon. Then you have the rest of the day! The beach is only about fifteen minutes walk. And tons of pubs! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words Michael we really loved having you, all the conversations and laughter we had together! We were very happy to accommodate your late morning start preferences. and we admired the way you threw yourself with into local life with yoga on the beach, line dancing and dragon making clubs! By the way, you've taken the sunshine with you so ya'll come back soon! Enjoy Vietnam and know you have a place in our hearts. Big hugs and bites from Pancho!

It was my first volunteering and I'm sure that it was the best experience. You were kind and patients to me from the first day to the last. Always I will be grateful with you. Dan thank you for teach me to play the guitar. Glyn thanks for the good meals and for the english lessons. Pancho became a good friend to me, thanks Pancho for dance with me the last day. 😂. I definitely enjoyed my stay with you. Glyn, Dan, Pancho, Teignmouth and the sea will be in my heart forever. By the way, I miss you and I miss saturdays when we went to visit new places. 💖 I hope to see you soon. 🤗

My experience during the voluntary work was very rewarding, Glyn and Dan are very kind people who are always looking out for you and help you in any situation, the jobs are very rewarding, from general cleaning of the house, painting, varnishing, to taking care of the little dog Pancho who is very naughty and funny, Teignmouth is a small, quiet and pretty town with a lot of history, a perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and the daily life of an English family.

I spent a month with Glyn, Danny and Pancho and I couldn't have asked for anything better as my first world packers experience. Glyn and Danny were so inviting and instantly made me feel welcomed and they loved to show me the best that Devon had to offer. The work tasks required were completely reasonable and they were always checking in with me to make sure I felt comfortable with whatever they asked for me to help with :))
