I had a great time volunteering and really liked Rafael who was showing me around. However, the experience was often frustrating due to poor organization. The communication was unclear, and the promised three meals only included lunch, with no private bathroom, no laundry access & no blanket. After requesting a change, was I moved in a Hotel which I really appreciated! On my last day, Rafael didn't inform me I needed to switch in a accomodation of his, leading me to book a Airbnb. He later claimed I was late and didn't want to volunteer, which wasn't true. His miscommunication made it unfair.

Raphael is a very nice person and it seems he is very engaged with his venezuelean culture. However his communication could be improved, he doesnt communicate plans, a lot of stuff is last minute and most of the teaching is done online for venezueleans. So it doesnt have anything to do with columbia. He is a very good cook, but in the description it said, we would get breakfast, lunch and dinner and we most of the time got only lunch. Also the description said, we would get three days off, but it was not communicated which days so very spontaneously i „worked“ when i thought i wasn't supposed

Rafael is great, he was very well received, he does everything so that all the volunteers feel comfortable, nothing is missing, we do activities and more.
I highly recommend him, I felt very comfortable and free to go out as well, very respectful and kind. I will return at some point since I was left wanting to know more about the city.
Thank you very much 🙌

I really enjoyed participating in Rafa's project; he is a very good host. He welcomed us very well, the stay was good, and the ending as well. The volunteer task is to help with the content for the social media of his language academy, a great experience. Thanks again for everything, Rafa, and of course it's highly recommended to experience Medellín :)

Volunteering with Rafael was a very enriching experience; I was able to learn Spanish, practice English and we had many cultural exchanges at all times. The hours and tasks are fair, and Rafael was extremely understanding and flexible with my online work hours; I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know new cultures and enjoy Medellín at the same time.

This was my first experience at Worldpackers and it couldn't have been better. Rafael was always kind, responsible and very clear with the communication from the start. He assigned me tasks related to social media that were well organized and with defined expectations. I valued his willingness to listen to ideas and give constructive feedback. I felt supported, respected and motivated throughout the volunteering. Without a doubt I would definitely recommend it!!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
