This was not my first time traveling abroad, but it was my first Worldpackers experience. This experience was incredible. The family here really takes you under their wing and brings you along to help with their daily farming tasks. If you know English the farm, you might even be able to help teach English at a school with the host. The food is very wholesome, and they make sure you're well fed. Their schedule is very flexible, and they are very willing to accommodate the schedule you want to work. I would definitely recommend that you are communicating daily about what help they need

A great insight into the local lifestyle! I had a real immersive experience with the family and absolutely loved my time on the farm. It was a good opportunity to practise the farm it's located in a beautiful area near Baños. The work is non-stop for the family on the farm and you will see how hectic it can be at times with the various tasks. If you're looking for volunteering with structured working hours then this may not be for you. I think the 25 hours a week with 2 free days is not very accurate. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would recommend!

Esta fue mi primera experiencia de voluntariado fuera del país, y estoy segura de que escoger a la casa, ha sido una excelente decisión . Aprendí muchísimo sobre la vida en el campo y recibí consejos valiosos de cada miembro del equipo. La gente allí es increíblemente abierta y acogedora, y los horarios son muy flexibles. Las instalaciones son cómodas y hay buena conexión con el transporte público. Si buscas un lugar lleno de naturaleza y tranquilidad, pero cercano a la ciudad, ¡este es el sitio perfecto! Sin duda, repetiría la experiencia una y otra vez. Estoy muy agradecida por todo.
