I already miss it a lot! I have never been in such an incredible place, not only for all the things you can do around but because of how welcoming everyone in Marie's family were From the moment I got there, everyone was absolutely amazing! We spend some time togetherand it was so nice! I made beautiful connections, amazing friendships and met people who taught me a lot The work was good, and with my roomie(the best)we used the rest of the day for our little hikes and we got to see some goats and cows with bells! I felt so warm and welcomed here, I cannot recommend it enough cant wait to be ba

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better first world packers experience. Marie and Arno (+her parents who were briefly there) were absolutely AMAZING so kind and generous and made me feel so welcomed! Loved all our chats and meals spent together - will miss it a lot. The work was very reasonable and was done in a few hours so most of the day was spent exploring the beautiful surrounding wilderness (the friendly farm animals everywhere were a highlight) and meeting the most amazing roomie/ other volunteer (as it was the end of the season so less volunteers were needed). 10/10

I had an amazing time with Marie and her family at the guest house. The job is exactly as described, its not hard and you can get it all done in a few hours. After, you have the entire day to enjoy the beautiful nature... there are many hikes or places you can bike, the lake is amazing, a few villages around. Is an amazing opportunity to slow down, disconnect, enjoy the nature and get to know this amazing family! Thank you Marie for these incredible few weeks. It was lovely being a part of the guest house family for a little while.

This was probably one of the best volunteer experiences I've ever been in! Marie and her parents are one of the best hosts you could ever find. They're welcoming, kind, and they make you feel as if you were at home. The place is wonderful and surrounded by mountains. The work is easy to learn, manageable and most of the time we only volunteered for around 2,5-3 hours per day. I'm thankful for this experience and grateful to both the family and the volunteers I've met along the way!
