The community place is magical! It was my first worldpackers experience and it was amazing. All the community is super lovely, caring and respectful. The work is hard, specially during events, but the environment is super nice and joyful, so it's totally worth it. Plus you get to have an amazing spiritual experience that makes you grow and learn a lot. I'm deeply grateful! Thank you for everything.
