Description

"We live in a remote area, 90 minutes from the nearest supermarket in Tulum. When necessary, we drive to Tulum to stock up on groceries. This helps us maintain a well-stocked kitchen with everything needed for a healthy, abundant, and diverse vegetarian diet. As we are not operating as a business, this contribution helps cover food expenses and ensures we have a balanced and plentiful supply."

My first experience with Worldpackers was concerning. The host, Alonzo, engaged in inappropriate touching and displayed passive-aggressive and aggressive behavior. Nothing was explained clearly, and I was shamed when trying to seek clarity. Sexist and homophobic remarks were made, contributing to an unsafe atmosphere. Overall, I cannot recommend this experience; it was unprofessional and unsafe.

¡Hola! Estuve aquí una semana y la verdad es que me molesto Alonso el gerente, porque tiene intenciones erróneas con las mujeres, fue irrespetuoso en varias ocasiones después de que me quería ir antes por eso mismo, es como pasivo agresivo y no fue una buena experiencia trabajar para él, las instalaciones son bonitas pero es de bajo rendimiento, hay que pagarse uno la comida que es un poco cara por semana pero son sanos, además son muy estrictos con que se consume y cantidad.
