The project itself has potential and Richard is kind and respectful most of the time. Since he has a lot on his plate with his different projects, he's overwhelmed sometimes and forgets even about his own classes so remember to have an alarm for ending the day and reminding him that it would be a good idea to eat soon. Also, being sure to respect his privacy and keeping your composure when he is loudly disciplinary with his animals is a must. There's a lot to do there so task may vary widely. The animals are giving a great energy and the mountains are nearby. Disfrutas the project!

Pt1. Me and my girlfriend Summer stayed with Richard for a month. At first he struggled to adapt to our way of living but he made a real effort throughout our stay to resolve problems so we could coexist which I'm very thankful for. He would normally express negative emotions intensely but never held a grudge and there were no hard feelings after. The food he made was delicioso and there were really good portion sizes. If we wanted snacks we bought them from the shop.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it couldn't have been better! Richard is a very good, caring and fun person! He is very passionate about his project and needs people willing to help him because he has a lot of work. He cooks very well and the location of the house is perfect for those who like to be surrounded by nature. I will be back soon to visit Richard who has become my friend and his project. Muchas Gracias Amigo! 🙏🏽✨
