The Experience

I've lived in my family home for 31 years and it is now FULL of stuff, some mine, some my children have left behind, and it's everywhere - open a cupboard and it's full! I like to have the perfect exit strategy for everything, so do come to help me sort my life out & help things leave the house. If you can garden or paint & decorate/do odd jobs, help with cooking, spring cleaning and walking the dog, that's helpful too. Help with Spanish welcome!

What touched me most during this project was the connection we built with Imogen. She wasn't just our host — she was like a heroine in our journey. She thoughtfully prepared meals, explained cultural details with great patience, and helped us understand not just British language, but also British life. Her kindness and warmth made the UK feel much closer and more human to me. Imogen showed me a beautiful life balance — family, community, and personal joy. I hope to carry that spirit forward and become a kinder, more thoughtful version of myself. I wish her all the best!

I never imagined I'd meet someone as warm, kind, and inspiring as Imogen. I still remember her bright, welcoming smile on the day I arrived. And just like that, fourteen days flew by. When Imogen took me to the train station on the day I left, I turned away, quietly saying goodbye in my heart to this little corner of Lincolnshire — and to all the kind souls I met here. Before I knew it, tears were falling. Thank you, Imogen, for all the care, kindness, and support. I think I will always remember this short but heartwarming summer holiday.

Imogen is the most wonderful host I could have wished for. Hospitable, helpful, interesting, inspirational. From fetching me and returning me to the train station when I arrived and left, to sharing her days and local trips and sightseeing with me, to making delicious meals and ensuring my time was really well spent, volunteering with Imogen was a truly fantastic experience. The tasks were easy, enjoyable and rewarding, and it was a real pleasure collaborating with Imogen. I would gladly have extended my stay if I could have, and hope to return to see more of Lincoln and surrounds too.

This experience was awesome! Imogen is truly special. I was the only volunteer in a short stay, but I still got to meet other travelers. Also, Imogen invited me to experience her English lifestyle, I met her lovely family and learn about her daily activities. The tasks were simple, like walking her cute dog LouLou, laundry, general cleaning, etc., however, I would love to do much more, because the work hours were flexible and didn't count them. Imogen helped me to improve my skills in English, she is very patient. And she cooks delicious English food at dinner. I felt at home :3

My time with Imogen in Lincoln was amazing! Imogen does a great job at making you feel welcomed and integrated into the house. She introduced me to her friends and family, who are lovely. The house is located in a great spot, you can get to anywhere in town from there! The work was simple and I had lots of time to go out and explore the city. My favourite part was getting to go on long walks with her dog, Loulou! I also loved getting to sit down with Imogen for dinner every night. Thank you Imogen 🩷

I'm so glad that you felt at home here. You did a lot to help me get organised and also your help with LouLou was invaluable. I know how much she enjoyed going out with you. It was great to meet you and I wish you every success with your future positions - do come back any time you want! Thank you for everything!
