Beautiful location, private river area behind the dorms, plenty of land to run/workout. next door there's a little restaurant with a few options for food and drinks which was so convenient and the pool and waterfall access is a major plus!! There's a monkey named tiki that lives there too! Work wise, i would wake up and start my tasks (painting) - sometimes they would ask us to complete random tasks but mainly worked at our own pace on our own account. They did make us work at a local restaurant a couple times which was pretty difficult/uncomfy due to language but turned out really well!
