Sui and Vero were fabulous hosts! They met me at the airport with big hugs. Life with them was authentic and engaging! Meal times were filled with good food and great conversation and we took several excursions around Puerto Vallarta, nature walks, sunsets at the beach, farmers markets and even a movie! Volunteering at the school was worthwhile and heartwarming. The kids accepted me and included me in spite of my limited Spanish. Classes at the community center were enjoyable and everyone was so welcoming. Highly recommend a homestay with Sui and Vero!

I had the most wonderful experience at Casa Pachamama- Su and Vero were fantastic. I've had other hosts on Worldpackers, and as I told Su and Vero, this was by far my favorite experience. You typically will volunteer from 3-6pm Mon-Thurs and 6-7pm Mon and Fri helping kindergartners with their daily tasks and ~12 year olds learn English. Seeing how happy and excited the kids were to learn about other cultures and interact with other volunteers was the happiest thing imaginable. The kindergartners will literally run right up to you with the biggest smiles and give you HUGE hugs. Go go go!!!

I truly had an amazing time staying at the organization. Sui and Vero are welcoming, and I was able to feel at home almost instantly. Part of traveling is adapting, and once I waded through my own emotions within myself, they were right there for me- as family. Words simply cannot express the emotional impact I've experienced in working with the kids, and the impact I feel I had on them. You will feel loved like a brother, a sister, a father, a mother- like family with the kids if you allow them the space and affirmation. It was a 1st WP experience I'll never forget. And my heart is full!

My experience in Puerto Vallarta was truly a perfect 10/10! Su and Vero were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and had a wonderful time. Their warmth and attentiveness made my stay unforgettable, and I genuinely feel a deep appreciation for them. The beauty of Puerto Vallarta is simply breathtaking, and the abundance of activities available made every moment exciting. I find myself longing to return to this paradise right now! Being my first solo experience, it couldn't have been more perfect.
