We had a lovely stay with Liz for 6 weeks, we learnt so much about growing vegetables/gardening, making jams and pickling pickles, we left with some great recipe's and heaps of amazing memories! We had delicious fresh veg from the garden to cook with our dinners each night, Liz was very particular in how she wanted the air bnb's cleaned which made it very easy for us with the clear instructions. We had had so much time to go and explore with plenty of time off, we had a great time getting to know Liz, she ended up being like our mum away from home! 💜

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was wonderful! 🥰 Liz is very welcoming and loves giving tips about the surrounding area! The hours are also extremely reasonable so there is plenty of time to explore the beautiful lakes and mountains. The work is mainly cleaning the Airbnb's, but you'll also learn a lot about working in a garden or conserving food (like making jam or pickles), which was really fun! I would definitely recommend this experience, and would love to come back! Also gonna miss the cats (Neiro and my special girl Fluffer 🥹) !

My experience at Liz's house was beautiful. I was able to learn a lot at her farm, continue to improve my English and enjoy both her hospitality and the hospitality of interlaken which is truly a beautiful place I made beautiful memories with fellow volunteers and with the work done I highly recommend this experience.

Liz is wonderful, she's so welcoming, always in a great mood, and loves chatting and giving tips on how to make the most of your time in Switzerland. The work is split between cleaning the flats and gardening, and everything is clearly explained and never complicated. Interlaken is absolutely charming, with plenty of leisure options, if you enjoy hiking, cycling, or paddleboarding, it's the perfect place. Switzerland truly feels like paradise, and this has been the best volunteer experience I've had so far. Liz, thank you so much for everything. I'll definitely be back soon! ❤️

Learning about gardening and the environment impact was truly rewarding, I will never forget what i lived here it was incredibly enjoyable and learning about Liz's experiences was so fun. I will try to keep replicating what I learned with her it was honestly an incredible experience.
