This was my first expierence with WP and I was very happy with it. Ali is a very friendly local host who made sure to make everyone feel welcomed and made sure everyone knew their way around the area. Many times she gave invited us to social events with her and always let everyone know about cool daily events. She is a great host, very creative and social. All the other volunteers were also very nice. The experience was very fun and I would do it again! Definitely recommend it to others!
