It was a very good experience in Peebles with the amazing DC (David), it's really a good person and really good teacher of Yoga. I enjoyed my time there :) David took us to the mountains with Tyne (his dog) and it was beautiful Thank you for all DC.

The time with David, though short, was very meaningful to me. David is a great person, with a very kind soul. Although he was not going through his best times, his energy was always cheerful, kind and willing. The work done, some things were inside the house and others in his yard, he provide you with the proper clothing to do the work. The hours are flexible and Peebles is very nice to walk around. And his yoga classes, uff! The best I've ever had! Thank you DC for everything 🫶

This volunteer was amazing and David (DC) was so kind and respectful. The shifts were flexible and all tasks were easy and simple. Some days I did gardening and others I went shopping or fixed any device in his garage. The city is small but has many beautiful stores, parks and coffee. He and Natalia are friendly and share good moments when they cook delicious meals, Indian and Scottish, during lunch. He teaches yoga and you can learn it and share cozy time with friends. I practiced English a lot and we talked about many different things every day. I loved take part in their home.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to do my first volunteering in such a magical place as Peebles. David is an excellent host and teacher who goes above and beyond to give his best to all his students and guests. Together with Natasha, they are developing a beautiful project centered around the home they have built and generously share with us, their guests, making us feel like part of their family. David's yoga classes are the best I have had in over 10 years of practice, and Natasha, as an English teacher, helped me tremendously to improve my pronunciation and the language
