From the moment I met Joanie, her warmth and kindness were clear. Her home is a peaceful retreat, allowing you to fully embrace the relaxed lifestyle of Balgal Beach. The room felt like a home away from home—cozy and comfortable. Her garden is full of fresh produce—fruits, veggies, basil, and lemongrass—which she uses in her delicious, home-cooked meals. Joanie's generosity and care shine in everything she does, from cooking to conversation. The tasks were enjoyable and balanced with time to relax. And her chai tea? Absolutely perfect! I'm truly grateful for this amazing experience ❤️

Amy, you arrived unconventionally. But what a difference you make in others lives. Please, please, remember to keep those boundaries tight!

Had an amazing time as a world packer with Joanie! She lives in a lovely area, right on the beach where we got to see some of the amazing animals Australia has to offer. Joanie was so welcoming and caring and cooked amazing meals for us! It was super chill and fun to work on projects with Joan around her property. Joan was also super helpful and supportive in helping me find a job for my 88 days and get on my feet in Australia! I would really recommend coming here if you want to escape and chill out in nature

How do I even start. Working with Joanie had transformed my experience in Australia! I got here thinking I would stay temporarily while I figured out my rural 88 days requirement. Joanie was so excited to show me around and support me in my journey that within a week I secured a job at a local golf club and am now in a stable situation to continue living and working in Australia even after my volunteering is over! She has been incredible! The work is fun and rewarding as well, and she is super accomedating to personal needs. Loved every second. Ps. She is a great cook!

Maya, I'm only a reflection of the amazing young woman you are! You are so easy to host for, you are a leader in taking life by the reins and steering your own path. You have shown me and my property respect, care, and kindness. I thank you and I'm so glad my project has opened the gates to positive outcomes for you.

I am the one who is grateful for the organic vegetable gardens you established for me.!
