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!

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!

Lincoln is such a beautiful place! Imogen's house is big, comfortable, and cozy—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the moment. The food was amazing, and the whole atmosphere felt so peaceful. Imogen is an absolute angel—so friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. She even made a delicious dinner for the two of us and bought the materials we needed for our project. She also introduced me to her friends, which made me feel really welcomed. I highly recommend going there. It was truly a beautiful experience!

Hi, Ruben! It was an absolute joy to meet you and I cannot thank you enough for the amazing mural in my garden - I need to make it my profile picture here on Worldpackers! I must get someone with a decent camera to take the picture! All my friends are starting to follow you once they see your talent. I recommend everyone to meet you - such a beautiful, open and endearing person - and an amazing language learner - I wish all my students were like you! Besos y abrazos de LouLou y de mi parte!

Thank you so much, Luis! Your help was very much appreciated and I know LouLou is missing her long walks with you a lot! There will always be tasks to do if you want to come back again. Best wishes with your studies!
