This was my first Worldpackers and I really enjoyed it. Hosts: Steff and Keith were very friendly and will take me to the train station, town or chemist. I didn't mind cuz i enjoy my own time too. Work: Some everyday tasks are simple, others requieres more physical effort and weren't that fun but the feeling of finishing work was worth it haha. I stayed for three weeks and i think is a good amount of time to establish a routine.

Our stay with Steph and Keith has been filled with learning and growth. Intense work tasks at times, but peaceful afternoons. Steph gives you full flexibility in terms of when to work your hours and she clearly explains the tasks to complete each day and is available at all times.

The mobile home is very convenient and comfortable, and it has great views.

We were perhaps expecting some more interaction with the hosts, like sharing meals with them, but we understand they were devoted to some very special guests and had lots of work to do.

We are very grateful for the experience. Thanks!!!

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. Steph was very kind and welcoming and answered all of our questions. The property was beautiful, and the accommodation we stayed in was lovely as well.

I came for the garden, For flowers and weeds. The days had a way Of growing new needs. The sun shone strongly, The work filled the day, By night the star-strewn sky Made it all drift away. I leave with good energy, A smile, and a tan, A little more patient Than where I began. Every stay is different, And every host their own way. They have given me memories That will certainly stay.

Our experience had both positives and challenges. The host was kind and welcoming, and we appreciated the meals and her willingness to take us places. However, several work expectations, including cleaning rental properties and completing 6 hours for three meals, were not mentioned beforehand. Some tasks and expectations also differed from the profile. The motorhome was nice, but the profile photos were misleading. Overall, clearer communication and a more accurate description would have made the experience much better.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we feel it’s important to clarify that the agreed work was simple and, unfortunately, very little was completed. Your partner worked only a couple of hours in total, despite reminders, and we ultimately had to ask you both to leave.
We have hosted many workers with very positive experiences, and several have chosen to return, ! We believe your review does not give a complete picture of what happened.
