What an incredible experience! Easily one of my favorite WP exchanges. I felt so quickly integrated into the winery family, sharing stories and laughter. Kim, Glenda, and Nick are all such wonderful people. The farm work was hard at times but rewarding, I was happy to contribute. I'm definitely walking away stronger than I arrived. I am so thankful for my time with the winery family. I miss you all already! See you soon!

Oh wow :) I was completely adopted by this family, and I learned so much. I truly felt Swiss for 2 weeks. I really recommend this volunteer experience for people with a great sense of humor (they were hilarious), who enjoy local food, and want to live in the mountains. This is one of those volunteering experiences where they gave me much more than I deserved, they really are givers. I wish you the best from my heart, Kim, Nik, and Glenda ❤️

Amazing experience. I am truly grateful to Kim and her family for making me feel so welcome and show us so much about Swiss culture. I learnt a lot, so much that I am definitely going to visit the country again as soon as I can. The work was as expected and the family was also working so we were fully supported and felt like part of team. We were well looked after with plenty of gorgeous food and there's was absolutely nothing lacking. Would recommend this experience 100%.

Living with Kim's family was incredible, a beautiful experience that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover Switzerland and enjoy its stunning landscapes and mountains. Both Nick and Glenda welcomed us as part of the family from the very first moment and were always there whenever we needed anything. They also showed us around their region while sharing so much about Switzerland. Without a doubt, it's an experience we will never forget.
