My stay in the project was my first experience with worldPackers and I couldn't imagine better. Lovely people, good food, wonderful place and a very resting stay. The tasks were very diverse : gardening, cleaning, cooking,... Leo and his wife are amazing people who organise acticities where I could take part in. My 3 partners working in the farm where also amazing and did real effort to communicatedesote som language barrier... I truly gonna miss them. I discovered deeply the Chinese culture, learned more about permaculture and explored the area. Thank you so much for everything !!!

My stay at the Inn was very enjoyable and a great chance to connect with nature. The work was varied, going from weeding and pruning to assisting with reception duties. The staff was friendly, though it helps to know a bit of Chinese to communicate with the aunties. By the end of my stay, Leo took us hiking and showed us how to do bamboo weaving with some locals, which gave us a real taste of the local culture and made the experience much more memorable. I had a great time at the project, thanks for the opportunity! :)

I arrived during a summer camp for local students. As such, my first week of volunteering was spent helping out with and participating in the daily activities, which included cave exploration, mountain scaling, paddleboarding, etc. It was a good opportunity to interact with the children and their parents. The second week was dedicated to farm work which included pruning trees, weeding and watering crops, fertilizing roots, etc. There were also other tasks to help out with such as reception, cooking, collecting goods from the pier, etc. Overall, a unique and invaluable experience.

I really liked the experience! The farm is really beautiful and the location is amazing, everything is surrounded by nature and mountains. The work was different everyday and some of the tasks were really interesting. Despite all of this there were some problems with communication. A lot of the times I was really confused about the work hours and about the tasks themselves. Majority of workers also do not speak English so sometimes I could barely understand what I needed to do. Overall I think it was still worth it, and I'm really thankful to Leo for letting me stay and work with them!
