Let me start by saying, I didn't want to leave—that might be the best place to begin. The moment I stepped into the magnificent the home in Puebla, I sensed I belonged there. This feeling comes from someone who took a significant—almost—blind risk by embarking on this adventure. To anyone hesitant about taking such a leap, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. Guile and Geo exceed expectations in assisting your transition to life in Puebla, providing support at the Torteria, all leaving a lasting impression that hints at a potential return. ALV soy Poblano!

Volunteering in Puebla, Mexico, making tortas was a joyous journey. The owners, incredibly kind, not only shared culinary expertise but also took me out to drink, facilitating meaningful connections with the locals. These personal touches enhanced the overall experience. The program provided insights into Puebla's culture. Personal growth, meaningful contributions, and connecting with locals made this a transformative experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a volunteer opportunity.

My experience at the home was so good! The host were so caring and always made sure that myself and the other volunteers were comfortable and taken care of. The work was exactly as listed, I spent my mornings taking care of the plants and common areas and keeping everything clean and tidy. Both the host always had recommendations for how to spend my days after my work days. I would 100% recommend volunteering here if you're in the area! Thank you so much Guile and Georgina for the opportunity to experience Puebla!

Had a great experience at Cosme tortas. Work was easy, good schedule for planning your days in advance. Puebla is a true gem. Very charming, cozy and the location was steps away from all the main attractions in the center. Big thanks to the hosts who were excellent and one of the nicest people I have ever met. Very helpful, informative and alway there for you incase of everything. One thing is that basic Spanish is necessary for this experience and for living in Puebla.
