My two weeks with Richard was an experience that I will remember for the remainder of my lifetime. Richard does an excellent job at making you feel like family, while also ensuring you are having fun during the time that you are volunteering. This experience would be perfect for someone who doesn’t mind early mornings & days full of delicious breakfasts, lunches & fun surf. The actual work is very simple & straightforward. And the best part of all is that you will gain a forever friend & family with Richard & his fur children hahaha. Thank you Richard for welcoming me into your home & life ♥️

Richard is such an amazing host! I only spent 2 weeks with him, but it was such an awesome and fun experience. I had never surfed before and he spent so much time and effort teaching me how to surf, and was a great guide around Lima. I felt very safe and protected as a young woman traveling alone. His rescue animals (Olita and Biscito) are so so sweet and clearly love and trust him very much. The lifestyle requires some flexibility, and you should be able to cook in a small space and get up early, but if you are excited about surfing, and hanging out on the beach, this a perfect position!

I had a great time with Richard. It was nice to have a local's guide and input. Most importantly, not a creep! The days basically go as listed: Wake up at 5 am Pack for the beach Leave by 5:30 to the beach Cook breakfast & coffee Hang out with sassy Olita (I used this time to work on my thesis) Help as needed Learn some surfing techniques/surf- very good surf teache Make lunch Either leave since time requirement is only until lunch, or hang out till he leaves Go home and do the days dishes That's basically it. You have a lot of free time to hang out and explore. Happy to answer any questions!

My time with Richard was incredible, he commited to making my time as fun and relaxed as possible and he cared for me so much, I've made a great new friend. It didn't even feel like work, just cooking breakfast and lunch and then chilling at the beach and surfing. I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind early starts as you do have to get up at 5 but it's so worth it.

I had such a lovely two weeks with Richard. The days can be long but the actual amount of work you do is very little and very simple. Plus, you can learn to surf! I got to go three times, could have done a fourth but I didn't feel like it. Richards kindness and generosity knows no bounds - whatever he has, he has to share. Until next time, my friend ✨

My experience with Richard was awesome! If you love surfing and spending time at the beach its the perfect experience. Tasks are clear, fun and enjoyable. You help setup the surf van when arriving and pack up, make coffee, breakfast and lunch out of the van. I would say the amount of hours expected is more than average on Worldpackers but most of the time you relax at the beach and surf anyways. Where you stay is out of the touristy areas of Lima, but the neighbourhood is safe, really beautiful and has shops. There are buses to Miraflores and a train to centro nearby too.

If you enjoy surfing or would like to learn it, this experience is for you :) Richard is a great host who will teach you everything you need to know! Your days will consist of hanging out at the beach in the „office“ which is very nice van and making breakfast & lunch, listening to great music and enjoying the waves. Olli (the dog) will always keep you company and you are free to explore Lima in the afternoon. I really appreciated having my own room and bathroom and I'm so grateful that I got to stay with Richard :)

I had an amazing time with Richard!! It never felt like 'work' at all. Days basically consisted out of loads of surfing and hanging out. I was free to go after making lunch on the beach but almost everytime I stayed around to chill and surf myself. Honestly, I had a great time and Richard is a great guy. Would defintely recommend!
