This was my first time volunteering and I had a lovely experience! Both Glyn and Danny were very welcoming and made sure I felt at home :) The tasks were pretty simple, I mostly just helped around the house and did whatever little tasks needed to be done at the moment. Teignmouth is a lovely city and there's some really nice places to explore, Glyn gave me good tips on where to go on my free time! And of course can't forget Pancho, what a unique little dog, miss him already! Thank you for a great two weeks!

This was my second time travelling through Worldpackers and the first staying at someone's home, which may seem it intimidating, but it wasn't at all. Glyn and Dan are very welcoming and comfortable sharing their space with other people. Tasks were simple and manageable, and Teignmouth is beautiful and close to other small towns that are worth a visit. Overall, a really good experience. Thank you!

I'm very grateful for my stay with Glyn, Dan & Pancho. They were very generous and caring hosts who really made an effort to accomodate for me. I enjoyed the work I was helping them with & they were very grateful for my contribution which was nicely rewarding. I came to them when I was feeling a bit homesick in my travels & they were very conscious of my feelings & gave me space but also support when I needed it. They were also great at actively suggesting things I could do to fill my time, explore the local areas & meet new people if I so wished. Their profile description is very accurate.

Thank you Libby for your kind review! We were very happy to host you and although sorry that you were homesick at times I'm glad we were able to offer you the right space snd support. It's natural to get these feelings sometimes especially in early years of being away from those we love. You were a perfect guest, and exactly what we needed at the time! Thank you so much for what you did for us and I hope we will hear from you on your travels!

It was an absolute pleasure staying with Glyn and Danny! Both were incredibly welcoming to their home, and were keen to help me explore Teignmouth and the surrounding areas! Teignmouth which seems small at first, offers lots to explore, with gorgeous art galleries, and lively pubs! And as the weather warms up, lots of beach to walk by and if you don't mind a chilly dip to swim in! The work is fair, and whilst occasional hard, if you are willing to put in the effort, Glyn and Danny make sure that in return you are well looked after, and have some really memorable days off!!

This was an amazing opportunity!! First off, Glyn & Dan were beyond fantastic!! Very loving and welcoming! As soon as I met them I knew I was going to love them! Second off!! The king of the house Pancho was the best! Once he warms up to you, he'll always want to be around you! He loves playing and being chased! He is the most handsome king in all of the land! The work was very easy and straightforward. I typically started work in the late morning and ended in early afternoon. Then you have the rest of the day! The beach is only about fifteen minutes walk. And tons of pubs! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words Michael we really loved having you, all the conversations and laughter we had together! We were very happy to accommodate your late morning start preferences. and we admired the way you threw yourself with into local life with yoga on the beach, line dancing and dragon making clubs! By the way, you've taken the sunshine with you so ya'll come back soon! Enjoy Vietnam and know you have a place in our hearts. Big hugs and bites from Pancho!
