We had a great time at the project. Tony and Pat were very welcoming and accomodating hosts. All of our meals were delicious and we often enjoyed a good discussion around the table. Hours and work were very reasonable and we always had plenty of rest.

My experience at the project as my first ever volunteer job was truly amazing. Tony & Pat welcomed us very warmly, the food was amazing and the work was very easy! Talking to them and helping in their beautiful home also teached us so much about environment awareness and the importance of our nature. We would love to come back one day!

My volunteering at the project was a great experience for me! Tony and Pat are very kind, Tony took me to the train station when needed and gave me some recommendations what to do on my days off. The work wasn't very difficult. Meals were really delicious, private room was provided and the surrounding garden and forests were calming. I can really recommend this volunteering experience👍
