Susie welcomed us very warmly! We worked with the dogs and the horses, and also helped with other tasks like painting and mowing the lawn. Susie has everything you might need and really cares about your wellbeing. She gave us lots of benefits and many opportunities to learn. Her family is also very kind.

Second, longer stay at Susie's. I have loved my journey, I totally recommend it, and I'm thankful to her for this opportunity. Despite this, I would like to make some notes: it can happen that Susie is far from the house and you are in charge of everything. During my month there, she was away for ten days: I was safe and had good time, but I couldn't have my days-off since pets need care everyday. Second, you often get to know about her changes of plans on the very last minute and you have to be ok with that. I recommend to get in touch with Emma if you need anything when you're alone.

I had a wonderful time staying with Susie! The work was a mix of helping care for the animals and household tasks. I had lots of opportunities to go riding and could use one of Susie's cars to go on trips in my free time. She also involved me in get-togethers with her friends and family as well as local events. Would recommend to anyone looking to spend time in nature and around dogs and horses!

My first experience with Worldpacker and it was great! Susie is the best host, very generous and caring. This is the perfect place if you love animals, especially horses! Met a lot of lovely people, both neighbors and Susie's family and friends. You won't go hungry and you will laugh every day!

I had a very nice time here. Susie is a lovely person and her animals are the sweetest. The work varied from preparing food, planting flowers, mowing the lawn to feeding the chickens and helping with cleaning the nearby church. I had my own little car with which I could go on some daytrips around the area. All in all it was good experience where I could learn a lot of new things about the locals and their culture.

I felt welcomed and comfortable at Susie's. The house and the place nearby are beautiful, and you can enjoy them riding or having long walks. The job consists in what you read on the description: taking care of the animals, gardening, little housework. Day-off absolutely respected. What's more, you have the possibility to live the local life, not only with the family but also with the nice neighbours. Everyone was so kind and helpful. An experience that I absolutely recommend to anyone.

A wonderful experience that will always stay in my heart. Susie and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming. I truly felt like part of the family, as she included me in everything she did—riding with her friends, family dinners, going to the movies, shopping... It was my first WP experience, and I couldn't wish for a better one. I even mastered driving on the left side of the road, thanks to the opportunity to borrow her little blue car and explore the surroundings. If you love horses and dogs, this experience is perfect for you. I will miss Susie and all of her furry friends dearly.

Susie was an excellent host during our stay there. She was always attentive to us and our needs. Generous and friendly. We were able to connect with nature and the animals. Rizzy and Rebel, the horses, are very calm and easy going. The little dogs and cat are amazing, friendly and cheerful. The facilities of the house are very comfortable, the room is very well equipped as well as the bathroom and the kitchen. I would definitely recommend it and hope to return one day.

This volunteering experience was definitely one of the best. Susie is an excellent host, she is always attentive to you and your comfort. Her house is beautiful, the place and its surroundings are incredible, you will always be surrounded by nature and animals.I learned a lot about horses and their care, I enjoyed every moment with them and with the puppies and the cat who are adorable. In our free time we go out for walks and visit many nearby towns and beaches. Along the way you will always find a castle or an ancient building.I had a really nice time I will always remember it with much love

I would've highly recommended the experience (tasks, place, and family are amazing!), but unfortunately I cannot recommend the host. Susie can be sweet but the day chores + evening tasks and animal care can go overtime. When I tried to coordinate my days off with her, she changed tone abruptly saying I didn't work hard enough to have ALL of them. I was shocked; she'd never expressed this before and I'd done the tasks she gave each day. She said she'd take away fun activities if I insisted and implied I was ungrateful for them. I felt manipulated, taken advantage of, and left a week early.

Kirsten was a great help especially in mentoring Lisa from Hong Kong who had never experienced country life before. The weekend she was with me was particularly stressful as I had warned both worldpackers it would be. When we had finished a happy family supper Kirsten asked me for a day off and I reacted , wrongly, in a bad tempered way. All other world packers would have understood and we have worked things out together.This was sad and unfortunate for us both.
