The Experience

We are looking for crew to join our team and help out with running the place smoothly. If you've ever fantasized about running your own B&B or surfhouse, this could be your chance! Picture this: you'll be part of a rad team, pitching in with shifts and keeping things running! But here's the best part – you also get to soak up the stunning surroundings and enjoy a bit of a "workcation" vibe. Sounds pretty sweet, right?

My first Worldpackers experience exceeded all my expectations. Cece is truly an incredible person to work with and for! The team was so welcoming, and there's an endless amount to explore and discover in the area. I hope to be back soon. I couldn't recommend this experience more!!

From the moment I arrived, I was so welcomed to the guest house, Cece and the other volunteers really made me feel like I was part of their little family. The vibes are always really good, the house is super nice, and the hours are well respected; you have plenty of time off during the day. One thing that might not be obvious at first, that you are not only doing things in the kitchen, but also once a week a deep clean of the house( vacuuming, mopping etc..). It is pretty easy to do, but it might be helpful to know. Everything was amazing, and I hope I can return to the guest house as soon as possible.

Had a beautiful time in FIguera the guest house. Just like all the reviews you must be reading, Cece is a phenomenal host and is the sweetest human being. I'd recommend this experience to anyone who wants to connect more with nature and appreciate your time on this planet more. Most of the work revolves around cooking and cleaning up post meals. So I learnt a lot about food. The hours are respected and you have ample time to work on your personal projects! I don't think there is a better place to watch the sunsets from!
