I had a great first Worldpackers experience at the guest house & the guest house. The atmosphere between all the volunteers was amazing. I made a lot of new friends. Sonja is very easy to talk to and she always makes sure that everyone is feeling comfortable. There is lunch every day and they even provide vegetarian options. The work it not hard but it's still really important to be focused. There is always someone around to help you if needed. You have the entire afternoon to explore Faro and have fun with other volunteers. Thank you Pedro and Sonja for having me, Faro was great 🫶🏻

It wasn't exactly what I expected. Volunteers sleep in 2 different hostel and the hostel to clean are five so the shifts, communicated clearly in the morning, were split in those five. It was an important responsibility since except for a girl who actually work there, the work is all on the volunteers. I saw Sonja one time coincidentally, when she was about to leave for Easter holidays, she stayed in contact with us by WhatsApp and we were totally indipendent without supervision when also the other girl was off. They provide lunch cooked by other volunteers on a terrace in another hostel

The experience was great due to the other amazing volunteers. Faro is an amazing city, super walkable and the hostel is located in the center which is super convenient. I believe improvements should include creating dynamic group activities within the volunteer team. They follow the schedules and the hosts were super nice being flexible and understanding when problems occur. There had been instances where the volunteers were asked to do jobs that we were not expecting. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.

The experience was nice. The work was handled well and closely monitored. In the morning we were responsible for cleaning the rooms, common areas, laundry, kitchen and bathrooms. You will receive lunch after work and then you are free to enjoy the town. It's also worth adding that unfortunately there wasn't enough work for all volunteers now during the winter, and some of the girls were not satisfied with the other tasks assigned to them. Overall, I had a great time with everyone! Thank you.

Although I didn't really get to know Sonja, since she was on a trip. The times I interacted with her were always great. Sonja was always fast at replying and was so easily available, which i appreciated a lot. I would've liked to have gotten to know her, but regardless she made my experience there worthwhile.

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was great! Day to day tasks and responsibilities are not difficult - cleaning the different guesthouses. The schedule is shared for the month and very flexible if you want to change the guest house that you want off. The hours are the same with the other volunteers which is nice so that we can spend time together after our shift.

I couldn't have chosen a better first experience. Sonja the host was very welcoming and caring. Josefina was the person we worked with day to day, she takes the time to explain thoroughly what your tasks and responsibilities are. The work was very easy you work in different hostels helping with cleaning. Also working with the other volunteers was nice. I had such a great experience also because of the group of girls that I met that where volunteering at the same time, most of the time you finish at around 2 so the rest of the day we had time to enjoy faro and surroundings.

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed my time with Sonja and Pedro in Faro! The work is very manageable, and the room and free lunch was very good! Sonja is an amazing host. She is good at communicating, and always trying to meet her volunteers needs, as well as making them feel appreciated. I had an unfortunate situation at the end of my stay, and Sonja helped me through it and supported me. I cannot thank her and the team enough for everything ❤️

What can I say? I loved the experience. Sonja and Pedro are the BEST hosts: they care about your well-being, make you feel appreciated and value your work; moreover, they put effort in trying to strengthen the relationship between volunteers by organizing social activities. The tasks are not difficult, sometimes they take more time but we have always been able to complete them in our shift. Also, all volunteers have the same schedule, which makes it super easy to spend time with the other girls after work. I am glad I had the opportunity to volunteer in Faro and I strongly recommend it!
