My experience with Dave was short but very very nice, his home it's one of those places that just feels right. He's kind and clear and if I ever get to be in Oxford again I would not hesitate in staying at his place if available. I 100% suggest travelers to meet him.

It was an interesting experience! Dave is really funny and made me laugh constantly! I've grown to love our daily routine! He's also an amazing cook! He lives just minutes away from the center by bus. Or you take a nice thirty minute stroll along the Thames River right into the city! Great experience!

Dave is very kind. He gave me advice on how to visit the city, improve my English, and repair my laptop. Helped me to organize my trip. He wrote to me before and after my stay in Oxford, so he is involved the work tasks were easy, with hours always respected. My English wasn't the best, but we had some great conversations, he had so many stories to tell. I cooked something for him and he cooked a fantastic Lasagna! Don't hesitate to write to me, I'm always available

Dave is nice and welcoming, he's lived a very interesting life, knows about a lot of topics and has been hosting volunteers for many years, making it easy to chat with him while having a cup of tea. The tasks aren't too complicated and leave enough time to visit Oxford (which has a lot to offer) in the afternoons and nearby cities like London during the weekends. Good experience to learn about the culture and improve your English.

Minha experiência com o Dave foi um pouco conturbada. Ele disse que não me aceitaria por menos de um mês, então aceitei essa condição (após negociar as datas). No entanto, cancelou minha estadia após duas semanas, antes do combinado na plataforma. Fez comentários que para mim foram ofensivos sobre meu peso, dizendo que, com 80 kg, eu era o voluntário mais pesado em 10 anos que já esteve lá. Falou do meu hálito também. O trabalho é leve e os horários foram respeitados, mas eu não podia cozinhar na cozinha da casa dele, o que foi um problema por ser vegetariano.

Dave is a great person—charismatic, active, and a tea lover! Despite my limited English, we had good conversations, and the household tasks were simple. I stayed 13 days, sleeping 3 nights in a private room and 10 in the same room as Dave, with two single beds side by side. Since it was winter break, I only met one Italian student briefly. Dave and I cooked meals together and explored the city, forming a good friendship. A suggestion for improvement would be maintaining a bit more respectful distance, as some cultures may prefer more personal space.

I had the chance to do some volunteer work with Dave, and he's a really kind, patient, and good-humored person. He has a fascinating life story and was always willing to lend a hand when I needed help. The household tasks weren't hard at all, and he even gave me great tips about the city and helped me improve my English. 10/10!

Dave is very kind, always attentive and will help you practice your English, recommend places to go in Oxford and the UK. The work is easy and the hours are excellent. Tips: if you want to practice English there are some schools/churches that teach English for free. Oxford is a student city so it is easy to meet new people.
