I spent 2 months in Aberystwyth and all I can say is that I'm so grateful to Louise and Bill (who are two of the best hosts you could ask for) for the opportunity and for the experience as a whole. It was my first volunteering experience and I was really happy during those two months. The work is very easygoing, which gave me plenty of free time to study, exercise, and explore the town and the region. I don't know if it's because it was my first time volunteering or because it was truly a great experience, but whatever the reason, I'll never forget the time I spent in Wales. Thank you so much!

My experience in Aberystwyth was incredible. I learned so many things and did new things every day. I highly recommend this volunteering experience. Louise and Will were the best hosts I've ever had. They're super flexible and super friendly. The view from your room to the sea is incredible. I would definitely do this volunteer experience again.

This experience was amazing, great, lovely, positive and joyful. It was my first volunteer job through Worlspackers and everything was much better than I expected. The hosts were always very respectful, fair and kind to me. Really, I felt the happiest person in the world because I lived in a beautiful town, I enjoyed the job and I spent a good time with the hosts. I am very grateful to Louise and Bill, God bless them.

I've been in Aberystwyth from 16th August to 16th September! The work is easy, it doesn't take too time and I had 2 days off per week. Will and Louise are a very nice people, they're very helpful and friendly! I met some volunteers from other countries and I had fun with them, it was a good opportunity to discover new cultures and speak english. I also met local people, especially the last two weeks because more students got back to the university in Aberystwyth. It was my first experience as a volunteer and I enjoyed it!

It was an extraordinary place for me. I felt at home from the beginning, the people were lovely, I got to know a little more about the Welsh culture and had a great time with my host family and in this way, I improved my English a little. When I was there most of the time there was one more volunteer so the tasks were easy to carry out by dividing up the tasks, basically cleaning the hostel rooms. The town of Aberystwyth is beautiful and accessible by public transport. I made some amazing friends, I already miss it and I know I will be back. See you soon! Thank you very much!
