I'm very grateful for the home's generosity throughout my stay. He is thoughtful, kind and interesting, and made every effort to cheer me up after I got some bad news. I particularly loved going snorkelling for the first time and our trip to Lipari. However, the house is very remote and this introduces difficulties (you need to manually flush the toilet with a bucket outside, ensure you brush your teeth with filtered water etc.). The host, whilst kind, made several inappropriate comments throughout the stay regarding how attractive he found me and my race, which made me uncomfortable.

To be fair the last words have to be put in the context: We talked about a friend i once had, that she was treated disrespectful by on islander - and that i find people with dark skin beautiful. It was meant as a statement against racism and a compliment concerning both men and women.

Filicudi è un'isola magica, connettiti con la natura, impari a riciclare l'uso dell'acqua, sfruttare le ore di sole, cucinare con verdure fresche, raccolte dall'isola Sono solo poche ore di lavoro, devi preparare il pranzo e aiutare the home in giardino, dipingere le porte, niente di pesante. the home parla 5 lingue, non ti annoierai mai a chiacchierare con lui. È una mia esperienza da 10

Macu is an extraordinary person, very helpful and adaptable. A great first experience for me as worldpacker host. A pity that the stay was a bit shortened by bad weather (no ferries). I wish Macu all the best. E muchas gracias, que podria rinfrescar mi Castellano!
