When I started this adventure, I was going through a very difficult moment in my life. Coming to Nova Scotia gave me hope again. Thanks to Bricin and Patricia, this became one of the most meaningful experiences I've ever had. The places I visited and everything I learned reminded me that life gets better and that good people truly exist. I see Bricin and Patricia as my family, because they always cared for me and made me feel safe. If you ever have the chance to come here, don't hesitate—this place might change your life too. Thank you, Tio Bricin, Tia Patricia, Cashee, Billie, and Peter

AMAZING WORLDPACKERS EXPERIENCE!!! I feel super lucky to have had the chance to come here and it felt like I found a second home for the month. The arrangement is really well done — the work is very reasonable, rooms are great, food is great, and the hosts took us out to killer local spots and events. ALSO IT'S SO FUN TRUST ME. Thank you Patricia, Bricin, Billie, Cash, Ada, and Brenda for such a fantastic month. the hostel FOREVERRRRR.

The hostel was amazing to explore stunning beaches and hikes luckily the ban ended while Maddie and myself were there to see it all! The family were so welcoming immersing me in the local culture. Perfect if you're up for non stop action and adventure with a Canadian family and the lovely guests!
