This was my first worldpackers experience and from the time I arrived at Trish and Henry's I felt right at home! Some of the most welcoming, generous, and down to earth people I have ever met. The work hours were more than reasonable (exactly what was agreed) and I thoroughly enjoyed helping with the painting and gardening. It was a perfect balance to go exploring and relax as well! Could not be more grateful for this experience, and I look forward to always keeping in touch. All my love to my Somerton family (and of course gorgeous Belle, Joey, and Storm)

Without exaggeration, Henry and Trish are the warmest and most considerate people I've met. I've learned a lot about painting and maintaining a house. Beyond work, I also learned a great deal about literature, music, english history and culture, thanks to their vast knowledge. They always looked after us, helping us explore and enjoy life. Work was also incredibly fun and rewarding. I will miss them terribly.
