After staying with Taz and Sarah and their lovely kids, I had a hart filled with great memories in Victoria. It's a beautiful city with always something going on and to explore the city on the bikes is amazing! The work that we did was great as well, from gardening to painting and some maintenance, we learned a lot and mostly had a lot of fun. I miss everyone there and hope to come back one day, I can definitely recommend this stay to anyone who loves being around people and exploring the city!
