The Experience

I have a restaurant in Heeg, Friesland, the Netherlands, with a big terrace near the lake, very beautiful. During the summer there are a lot of tourists who are sailing, swimming and surfing. I hope to fond friendly back-Packers who can help me during the summer in the kitchen, bar and restaurant. Our atmosphere is easy going, time to laugh and for you to have a nice time in our beautiful country!

This first volunteer exsperience has been really meaningful to me. The small village, full of services, was wonderful and really peaceful, connected by public transport to other bigger places. It was also possible use the bike offered by the host. The host , Luuk, has been really kind and respectful with me and the others , he always checked if everything was okay and has been helpful in every situation. The work as waitress was very simple and challenging , especially for connect with people from Netherlands and improve english.

It was the best experience I could have ever imagined. Luuk is kind and friendly. I really enjoyed time spent there. I met amazing people and had so much fun. The customers were really opened to speak english. So you don't have to be afraid of it, even when you are not that confident in english. I truly recommend this experience to everyone.

I'm so happy about this experience. When I started, I was scared because my English level was not so well, but the host had patience and was kind all the time. The customers and the people in the village were also kind and friendly. I really recommend this experience to other worldpackers.

I came back to this place as an emergency call after a very bad Worldpackers experience in Germany. I had already worked with Luuk last summer, and I knew I would be safe working in Heeg until I continued my journey. As expected, he didn't disappoint. Not only did I have a lot of fun here, but I also felt welcomed and learned a lot about waitressing (last year I did mainly kitchen work). 100% recommended, I have nothing but warm feelings towards this place. Thanks Luuk for making everything so easy and fun. I will always remember the host and the way you made Heeg feel like home.
