My time at the host was just amazing! Everyone is so welcoming and I learnt so many new skills. The location is a dream and the trip felt too short. I'd definitely recommend this for first time Worldpackers volunteers. I'll be back for sure. Special thanks to Suzie for being so accommodating and kind :)

I spent 10 days in the French countryside with an amazing crew of volunteers and hosts. I learned how to build walls in granite and did a bunch of moving rocks with the small tractor and by hand. In the evenings and weekends, there is the possibility of learning to carve stones, create things in metal in the forge or just relax and enjoy nature and the very clear night skies. It is hard to build with rocks, but it has been extremely satisfying. And the energy and motivation from Sam, Suzi, Mark and Jim is fantastic. Will definitely visit again!

The host is a great project with a remarkable family (the Russells) and friends (Mark and Jim) at the center of it. The work is physically demanding, but very worthwhile as you can see the progress you have made immediately in the rising structure. The hosts are good at encouraging the work and ensuring that all is done safely. Their approach brings out the best in people, and a real sense of teamwork develops quickly among the volunteers with their guidance.

I have done many different kind of task that I have never done before and I learnt a lot from it. During my time there, I ate a lot of delicious food and the accommodation was so comfortable , and warm during this winter period. Thank you for everything that you provide to me Sam, Jim who I spent most of my time there with and quite sad that I could only meet Mark for one day.

One of the best experiences of my life. I volunteered from 1 Dec until 24 Dec. I met 5 other volunteers during this time, with whom I exchanged great stories and ideas. I came here with the purpose of practicing my French, testing and improving my physical strength and getting used to the cold weather. I found this experience liberating, and I gained new perspectives about life. The Morvan Natural Park is beautiful. I went jogging during those days and I had the chance to see rabbits, deers, lakes and beautiful forests. The villages are lovely.

The host is a travel through time and a beautiful experience immersed in the thicket of french hills. Generosity and kindness is something that you will find everyday here. Collaboration can be in multiples ways and I don't want to forget what the stone taught me about working with time and patience. The strengh that have the dreams when you work hard and with passion for it is something that you can see here too, and that was inspiring for me. Thank you so much one more time Sam, Donald, Suzy, Mark, I will treasure this experience forever.
