This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had an absolute blast! Sandra and Ivan were so wonderful and welcoming and I felt completely at home and comfortable with them! They were very respectful of my time off and also showed me so many wonderful places around Galicia. Bella was such a joy to be around, and I loved getting to spend time with her and truly getting to know her personality. She's extremely intelligent and loving. I have left Santiago now but hope to come back soon to visit Sandra, Ivan, and Bella!

I had a lovely stay with Ivan and Sandra! They created a home away from home, and were very welcoming and kind :) It was a nice balance of helping in the cafeteria, with catering events, and walking Bella. Bella is a wonderful dog and we had some nice adventures around Santiago! A beautiful family and I would absolutely recommend this experience!

I really enjoyed being with Sandra & Iván (& Bella) in Santiago for a month! Definitely would recommend. The hours you contribute are mostly just walking Bella 2-3 times a day, then helping in the cafe for catering events sometimes. You have lots of free time to say the least.

I learned a lot at my first Worldpackers experience with Sandra and Ivan. There was a bit of miscommunication due to language and also cultural differences between us, but we figured it out! Very chill schedule with lots of time to explore the beautiful city. Bella is very stubborn, but if you are more stubborn than her you will be just fine

Ivan and Sandra are super welcoming and loving people, always do their best to make you feel home. It was an incredible exchange, culturally and socially, and I'd definitely love to come back in the future.
