The Host Jonathan is kind and benevolent. He makes you feel at home and checks in regularly, despite being busy. You can also have interesting conversations with him. The Accommodation Very clean, modern, and comfortable. Everything feels new and well-maintained. The Work Mostly manual tasks. If that's not your thing, 4 hours can feel long, but it's doable. Conclusion A good experience overall. The island is small easy to explore in a week. YOU WILL NEED A CAR for sure.

Marta and John are fantastic hosts—kind, friendly, and a joy to help! ⦁ Accommodation was spacious, well-maintained, and anything missing was quickly provided ⦁Tasks included cleaning, painting, furniture assembly, and outdoor work—all clearly explained. Despite some tasks being physically demanding, I always felt supported and comfortable communicating my limits ⦁ Work hours were around 9-13 but also flexible if needed ☝️A car is essential as the location is off-road—keep this in mind for insurance and car choice! Couldn't ask for better hosts—truly enjoyed my stay and time here!🌞

I had the most wonderful time with jonathan and Marta. It was a great first worldpackers experience. I would 100% recommend other volunteers to go here. The work hours were great and the work it self is manageable. Marta and Jonathan are really nice and considerate. They informed us on exploring the island and made us feel very welcome and comfortable in their accommodation. They are very open people and we were lucky to have them as our hosts. Joining this project was very rewarding. My friend and I can't wait to see the house finished and perhaps, one day, visit their airbnb.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it couldn't have asked for a better experience. Marta and Jonathan are the sweetest hosts. They really opened their home up to us and we felt really welcome. They also gave us a lot of tips on what to do on the island. The island is beautiful and there is a lot to explore. The tasks are easy and enjoyable. Marta and Jonathan were considered about what tasks we liked to do. It was really rewarding to see the progress of the house during our stay and we can't wait to see their finished dreamhouse and perhaps one day visit their airbnb.

I had a great time at Jonathan's! This was my first Worldpackers experience and I couldn't have asked for a better start. I helped with various tasks like woodwork, building furniture or concreting. Jonathan was a great host, he welcomed me to his home, showed ma around on the island, I met his friends, and one day we also went sailing with his family! In my free time I went surfing almost every day, and Jonathan was kind enough so that I could borrow his surfboards. You just need to be aware that the place is really remote and it's best to have a car. I enjoyed my time here a lot!
