Staying with Enasha was a very good first Worldpacker experience. We got to learn a lot about living on the rural side of france and had tasks that adapted to our skillset. We had our own appartment and we could decide about our schedule, as long as we did the 5 hours per day.Even when we couldn't do them on one day we had the chance to transfer them to the next day so the schedule is very mendable. When it comes to food, Enasha always made sure we had everything we needed!Only know that is very far from any city and there are many spiders there.Besides that it was a great experience.Thanks!

Hi Lenya, glad you had a good time! It is clear from both my profile and my video that I am in the middle of the countryside. In the week you were there I took you and Jetta to Domme, Sarlat, Castelnaud and dropped you at the big bowling / bar at the end of the road. 4 trips in a week so you weren't isolated! Sorry about the spiders, but you didn't mention them during the stay and in 5 years of renting the cottages, no-one else has mentioned them!
