This was my first experience through Worldpackers and it was wonderful! The location, the team of other volunteers, and the opportunities to explore nature were all absolutely fabulous! The only downside was a slight miscommunication at the start of the trip, which turned out to be quite the humorous situation! 😂 Elly and Wolfgang have truly given people an awesome opportunity to travel in a unique and meaningful way! Thank you both for letting me volunteer here, even if only for a week! I wish I had more time to offer on this trip!

Dear Elly and Wolfgang! Thank you for the amazing time you made come true by hosting us. It was a great month filled with joy, new friends, a lot of nature and fresh air and good times. We had a great trip and will for sure love to come back. The accommodations was nice, living with other volunteers but still with space for privacy. We had delicious food and happy days. Thank you! Hugs from Pedro & Tilde

The Center is a sweet and spiritual experience in the most picturesque setting. Perfect if you love nature and the outdoors. Elly and Wolfgang are very welcoming and kind hosts who are flexible and understanding! Really the only negatives I have are based on my own preferences - bathroom is located in a separate building than the sleeping area and it's a bit isolated.

So, I went to there willing to connect with myself and with nature, to have a completely different experience of what I am used to have. It is an amazing place, incredible views and warm atmosphere, but is far away from everything. For me was very fine because my goal was to have a time with myself in that place. Elly and Wolfgang are incredibly kind and I have such a beautiful month! I achieved what I want to and felt like home 🍀

The Center was my first place volunteering in Worldpackers and it was amazing! I'm forever thankful for the opportunity that Elly and Wolfgang gave me to be there, and being able to connect with the other volunteers, the place, the people and the work that they are doing. Is such a good place, you have everything you need to have a really meaningful experience. I hope you guys the best, and I'll love to come back some day!!

This was my first volunteer and it was amazing. I came back with the feeling that I got what I was looking for. I had the opportunity to connect with a special place (house and surroundings). Elly and Wolfgang were always open to requests and made me feel at home. I also had the opportunity to connect with other volunteers who had the same hobbies as me and we had a good time together working and in our free time.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and it was horrible, the tasks were heavy and I had no time to rest, I was treated like an employee. The coworkers were very nice but they told us that the tasks were heavy and that we could not take yoga or ski classes as they say. I do not recommend it. I left the next day I arrived because working more than 6 hours in a row without a break was not the right thing to do.
