Ben was a great host with an interesting project. He was great to talk to and a very interesting person. I am happy I had the opportunity to get to know him well and learn about his project and goals. The Marina where the boat is docked is close to trains to access the city; It is a cool small community and you are provided full access. Thanks Ben!

Worst experience ever . First,he asked me to arrive 2 weeks earlier, the day of my arrival, he asked me if I could find a place to stay for the whole week, had to get there , until next day. Then he told me he had some personal issues and that he would probably need me to leave, I worked 2 days (monday-friday,) on the 2nd day he asked me to leave on Friday, since he was leaving for Hollidays , and he would like his other volunteer to concentrate into fixing the ship. To the other volunteer he said it wasn't safety to have me around since I took a picture in a little boat . Miss the chance

It was an interesting experience for me. Ben is a fun person to be around and has a big heart. Although he is very chaotic, he truly cares and is very attentive. In ways I thought it worked really well for us and we created a great team! Dare to be interested about his life and ask questions, he's a great story teller and very open to share. You'll have to be an independent worker since he is quite absent (due to meetings) and be flexible when plans change or little tasks come in the way. The profile is not up to date, so it was very different than I expected but still I had a nice time!

This was a nice experience for my last weeks in London. It was very interesting to stay at a boat in the marina, in the middle of the city. Ben is a super nice guy, he gave me a tour of the place upon arrival and shared his experience so far with this project. He is a very good cook and has great conversation. What I think could be improved is the info on the position: - The project changed from a refugee help center to a personal living space - The design changed from a Wikihouse to a DIY refurbishing one - The hours are usually more than 25 a week, so you must negoiate your time off

One of the more eclectic stays I've had over the past 4 months. the boat is cozy and located in a very nice part of London. Easy access to mass transit and local attractions. Ben is a great guy and provides an eclectic lifestyle and fun work environment. I was able to meet some of the locals in the area and spent my free time traveling all around London.

A experiência com o Ben foi INCRÍVEL! O projeto é super bacana, o barco fica super bem localizado e o Ben é um ser humano fora de série. Definitivamente fiz um amigo pra vida. Agradeço super pela oportunidade e recomendo a todos da Worldpackers :)

It was an eclectic, fun, sometimes hectic and challenging and sometimes very rewarding experience. As a person looking for design/architecture volunteering opportunities, I enjoyed seeing the timber structure coming together, collaborating with others and working in the open air. The schedule and assigned tasks were frequently unclear and not really thought through and/or kept changing, which required a certain amount of patience, flexibility and efforts at clear communication. We didn't eat meals together- me and the other volunteers bought our own food and had a working kitchen to cook in.

It's a different experience, living on a boat is something unique, zero privacy, the bed is literally in the kitchen, in some situations you have to work more hours during the day, if you don't have a problem with this, you'll be fine. I hardly shared with Ben but he's a very kind person, sometimes he invites you to dinner with his friends on the other boats.
