The Experience

The hosts will do the activities with the travelers to teach them various skills, including general maintenance, crafts, gardening, painting, etc. We strive to conserve energy and water as we maintain a safe living environment as have safety protocols in place. The traveler will help 5 hours a day and five days a week and have three meals a day and private lodging. My wife and I travel to Waco regularly and can give a ride.

It was a terrible experience. Unfortunately, there is a limitation on characters to write a review, so I won't be able to describe everything. So I will be short: the only positive was the accommodation. Everything else was terrible. Ad was asking for a handyman, but all I did was cleaning. We agreed that I would work part time aside from my hours with them, so one day I couldn't show up for dinner. Out of nowhere, kicked out of their house, with nowhere to go. Have screenshots to prove. Send me a message and I will give you all the details. Hosts are incredible rude. My advice: do not go.
