I had so much fun volunteering here! I had the opportunity to learn more about construction and remodeling and how to better utilize power tools. It was also cool to see someone who knows how to reuse material to minimize waste when building! I had my own space at the end of the day and was very close to the guest house central!

As my first experience with World Backpacker has been tremendously pleasant, Francis and his family opened the doors of their home to me, they are very good people, they help you with whatever you need, I learned a lot with Francis about construction and above all I learned what it means to join the community, I am very grateful to him and his family, for people who want to come in the future I recommend them, you will not regret it.
