This experience was simply perfect. I never thought I'd enjoy life in the countryside, especially with back problems, but I loved it. Carole, her family, and the team are amazing. I formed real bonds and made lifelong friends. I discovered a passion for agriculture, learned to live with people from different backgrounds, and grew more empathetic. Working here made me smile every day. If you love challenges and are ready to step out of your comfort zone, GO FOR IT YOU'LL LOVE IT!! I'm so grateful thanks champs the farm vers luisants

I had a wonderful experience at the farm Luisant. Carole is a very kind and understanding person who genuinely cares about the well-being of her volunteers. The work was not too strenuous, and I felt I had the perfect balance of work time and free time. Although the farm is quite remote, there are many things to do just staying in, like ping pong, board games, and even riding the donkeys! I made great friends and learned many new things about farming and local culture. This was my first volunteering with Worldpackers, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you so much Carole!

I had a very good and meaningful experience. It was 20 days of a lot of learning, where I learned many things that were different from my reality. Carole is an incredible person who does everything she can to help with everything. The tasks are done as requested, I had no difficulty in carrying out any task. The landscape is stunning, marked by green fields and beautiful houses. I would definitely recommend this place to other volunteers. Thank you for everything! It was a pleasure to be part of this story. 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
