I had such a great time at the farm! As my first trip with Worldpackers and first solo trip in general I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Claudia and Luisa were so welcoming and helpful with anything I needed. We had many fun adventures, amazing food, and good times on the trails, at parties, or just hanging out at the house. I enjoyed meeting so many amazing people and of course the dogs and horses! Definitely hope to come back!!

I had a great time at the farm!! It was my first solo travel as well as my first experience with worldpackers. And Luisa and Claudia were so great and welcoming! It didn't take long til I was comfortable with them and the other volunteers. The whole experience was just great, amazing food, lovely horses and good fun with everyone. They also made sure we always had a good stay🫶🏻 Such a good experience and I already miss all the people, dogs and horses💕 I really want to come back sometime🥰

Luisa and Claudia were such wonderful and welcoming hosts! I had an amazing three weeks in Galicia — the food was great, the horses were sweet, and the other volunteers, along with Ella, made the experience really special. They took us on fun day trips to Portugal, local markets, parties, natural hot and cold springs, and of course plenty of lovely rides. There was always something to look forward to. They also have two really lovely dogs that I'm definitely going to miss. It's been such a warm and memorable experience — I'm sure I'll be back again!

I had an amazing time at the farm in Galicia. We did a lot of trail rides in the beautiful nature of Galicia which I enjoyed a lot. They also took us to so many different locations ( the rivers, beach, local markets…) The Family was always very caring and made sure we feel comfortable all the time. All the people i met there were so nice and fun I was very sad to leave after the month of my volunteer stay and I alteady miss all the people! I would also recommend this experience to people with no volunteer experience like me:)

It was an amazing experience. The host and all the other volunteers I met were very helpful, kind and Open-minded. I felt very comfortable. Working with the animals and everything around it was a wonderful experience. I got to experience so much and wouldn't want to miss a single day.
