I had an amazing experience at the host. Brigit and Aldo are incredibly welcoming and supportive, creating a great environment for volunteers. The nature here is absolutely beautiful, with stunning surroundings that make every day special. I enjoyed my time so much that I decided to stay for the entire season. There was a great variety of tasks, which kept the work interesting and allowed me to learn different skills. It was also a wonderful opportunity to connect with amazing people from all over the world.

I absolutely loved my time at the host - my two weeks there flew by and I really wish I could've stayed much longer. Everyone was so welcoming. We watched hockey on multiple nights, did campfires, and even went out to the host to go wake surfing!! You'll instantly feel like part of the community the moment you get there. There's never a dull moment with anyone on the host, and you'll always be laughing and smiling about something. Not to mention, the host and property are absolutely gorgeous, it's like you've stepped into paradise. I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you to everyone!!

Everything was as described, environment was beautiful for hiking and the host with plenty of activities. Only thing was communication with host when things were not clear did not go as smoothly as you would like and place is very isolated with limited transportation. So if things do need to change like happened during my stay your limited to one bus daily if you don't drive. Overall the experience and the community and people were great.
