The Experience

I’m offering a peaceful and welcoming stay on the beautiful south coast of England (Poole/Bournemouth area) in exchange for help with simple painting projects around my home. You don't need to be a professional painter— it’s about collaboration, creativity, and bringing new life to the space with a careful and thoughtful approach. My home has a cozy, creative atmosphere, with a lovely back garden that I’m slowly transforming.

The work isn't difficult, and since you only work 4 hours a day, you have plenty of free time! I have nothing but good memories from the first day to the very last! I'm making good use of the candle you gave me as a gift. I miss you all already Mom, my little sister, and Brownie!

I had a great time with Valéria; she's caring, sociable and available if you have any questions. The bedroom I slept in was comfortable, well lit and peaceful. Valéria respects the agreed timetable, and her instructions are clear and simple. She has a lovely Yorkshire terrier, very funny and playful. I had time to visit around, and Valéria recommended places that were lovely to see. Thank you Valéria for that lovely time.

I learned from her how to run a household and maintain and renew everything. Secondly, the very conversations we had contributed greatly to my knowledge of another culture. She is a lovely woman, very respectful and humane, I felt at home. And not to forget the lovely daughter and dog as well, I loved them very much.

Valéria is such a really sweet person. I enjoyed my time volunteering at her apartment. She is really hardworking, and I love her meals. The breakfast is a whole feast. She is intentional about everything she does and her interactions with people. Her dog, Brownie, is such a delight. You will have a great time with her if you decide to volunteer at her place.
