It was my 2nd time visting these hosts and it was like meeting old friends. (Look at my prior reveiw) Doris & Mario are great people and generous hosts. I trully enjoyed our time together and helping preparing for the Christmas celebration. I got used to the choirs the 1st time around (mainly household and cooking), so they were like a second nature to me. Doris & Mario are really appreciative when you help them and show initiative. They are great in advising you what to do around the town or Switzeland. This is great opportunity for an independent person, who loves nature and cultures.

Doris and Mario were great hostess. they made me feel like home since the first day I arrived. I really enjoyed my stay at their house. Doris is a great cook and learned a lot from her. I enjoyed teaching her some mexican food as well which I think they liked. They both treat you with respect and are always there for any question. I had the chance to see some of the city and St Gallen as well which are beautiful. thank you Mario and Doris for a pleasant time!

My experience at the home was one of the best volunteering opportunities I've ever had the pleasure of working at. Doris and Mario are a very the home couple and make you feel a part of their family. They make sure you settle in well, have lots of free time to do activities, and give you great food. I am very happy I got the chance to participate in this opportunity and will hope to do it again some day. I got to experience true Swiss life at this volunteer role and will remember it forever. Thank you to the best hosts!!!

Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning Swiss culture and lifestyle. It was an exceptional homestay experience! Doris and Mario are super nice! Tasks are simple; hours are repected and you'll have a private room with great view, especially whenever there is a rainbow. It is a beautiful and peaceful place! Doris is the best cook and always happy to share her knowledge of local, in season ingredients, and Swiss food! Mario is the kindest, always there to help if you have any questions and has lots of tips and recommendations for your trips! Thank you guys so much!

I am incredibly grateful for meeting Doris and Mario and being part of this adventurous experience! It exceeded my expectations. I will try to describe it in 5 words to be brief and give everyone else an understanding of how great these people are. These words are Respect, Kindness Generosity, Discovery, and Friendship. Doris and Mario are great people! They welcomed me to their home and treated me like a member of the family. The choirs involved taking care of the different aspects of the household and the cat, Pige. In exchange, you will discover this beautiful part of Switzerland.

I stayed for a little over 2 weeks with Doris and Mario. They immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable in their home and I felt so included in their life. In exchange for a comfy bed, private room and bathroom, AC, a cute cat, great meals, and a bike to get around, I did 4 hours of house work per day. It was a really fair exchange! The surrounding area is gorgeous and if you're like me who needed a break from city life and to slow down, this is for you. In my off time, I was swimming in the lake, biking around the neighborhood, and taking trips to other beautiful towns in Switzerlan

My volunteering experience at Mario and Doris's house was fantastic. Schedules were respected and I had plenty of time to explore the city of Arbon and had the opportunity to visit Austria and Liechtenstein. Mario helped me a lot by giving me tips on the places and Doris was always very helpful. The place is very charming and with a very beautiful lake. Thank you very much for this opportunity and hope to see you in the future. I wish you both all the best.

My stay with Doris and Mario was truly a unique experience. They welcomed me into their home with open arms and provided a safe space where I was able to engage with them as well as their local town. Doris and I cooked together often which was so much fun and Mario was super helpful with planning my day trips. The daily tasks were simple which left me plenty of time during the day to go for walks and explore Arbon. I wish them both nothing but the best as they are genuinely so kind and generous. I will be missing their cat P too!

Thank you, Mario and Doris for being so kind during the entire stay! Since it was my first experience as Worldpacker, I was a little bit nervous, but as soon as I met them, I immediately felt comfortable! Doris gave me clear tasks and was always available when I needed assistance. Mario gave me a tour around the city, and the Arbon is a very beautiful place to stay, surrounded by mountains and with the lake nearby. My room was fully equipped with AC, hair dryer, computer, tv. We ate nice meals together) also the infrastructure is very good, so I was able to visit Bern, Zurich and Luzern!
