About the experience in: Gers, France
Argentina
I had a wonderful experience helping Mary and Jeremy with their project. Our tasks were very manageable, the hours were flexible, and we enjoyed seeing the impact of the completion of our projects. We were highly encouraged to take trips to nearby towns and immerse ourselves in the culture and rich local history through being given plenty of recommendations, free time, and the transportation to do so. I can't recommend this opportunity enough.

Thank you to Mary and Jeremy for welcoming us into your lives in the beautiful French countryside! Culturally, we felt that we could really immerse ourselves in the area thanks to our hosts taking us on outings and Jeremy's history lessons. The tasks asked of us were exactly as in the description and we were given all the tools and time necessary to complete these tasks. The flexible workday gave us plenty of free time to explore, though we spent most of our time enjoying the amazing property. Mary and Jeremy truly cared about us and our experience and made sure that our needs were tended to.

Foi mais do que eu poderia imaginar. O lugar é incrível, entre campos de produção de uvas, a se perder de vista, uma bela natureza e clima agradável. O lugar tem muita história e cidades lindas por perto. A Mary, nossa anfitriã, nos recebeu muito bem, foi muito gentil e cuidadosa conosco. O serviço é simples, basicamente organizar, limpar, coisas que fazemos habitualmente em nossas vidas. Me despeço, mas com um sentimento de que me senti em casa, e feliz em conhecer um lugar tão especial através do worldpackers
