We had a fantastic time doing the content exchange with Kaylee & Vaughan - the help was completely fair & enjoyable to do and we had so much creative freedom to make what we enjoyed! Kaylee, Vaughan, Pete & the rest of the house were all so inviting & welcoming with the hosts taking us out on multiple day trips! The house is lovely as well - so clean & spacious, The best exchange we have done in Australia - Highly reccomened, many thanks Kaylee & Vaughan!

We had an amazing time with Kaylee and Vaughan in the home. We did the content creation exchange and the hours were super flexible giving us loads of time to explore the area and do day trips, they even took us out to some waterfalls which was so much fun. They're great hosts, super willing to help I would highly recommend this exchange !

This was my first-ever volunteer experience, and I genuinely loved every moment of it! Going into it, I was a little unsure of what to expect, especially since I usually need a bit of time to loosen up in new environments. But from the very beginning, Kaylee and Vaughan made me feel incredibly welcome. After just a couple of days, I felt completely at home so much so that I actually decided to extend my stay! There was a good overview of what needed to be done, which made it easy to stay organized and feel productive without being overwhelmed and there was always room for new ideas.

Volunteering with Vaughan and Kaylee has been one of the highlights of my travels. I stayed in a caravan at their home while helping them with content creation. From day one, they made me feel like family, not just a volunteer. We explored waterfalls, went on a trip to the Outback, shared meals, and I even met some of their friends. The work was fun, creative, and super flexible. I felt trusted and free to express myself. I got to experience real Aussie life in the most authentic way. I'd 100% recommend this experience to anyone.

We spent two months in the home with Kaylee and Vaughan, we always felt at home from the start. Everyone is very kind and always available to help you in any way, whether it's explaining tasks or helping you settle into the home. They took us to many beautiful places around the home giving us the chance to live the experience to the fullest. The caravan is very comfortable and the house has everything you could need. The task were simple and the convenience of being able to do them at the time you preferred gives you time to explore the city. We recommend this experience to everyone!
