I had such a wonderful time with Martin (and the family❤️). He's an amazing human through and through and he really cares about his volunteers. The work is enjoyable but you have to be prepared to work hard - if you are looking for an easy, cheap place to live then look elsewhere - we care at the reserve! Merci pour tous 😁

Thank you so much Pat. Wish you all the best for your next adventure and your stay in Canada. If you are in trouble or just need a contact with nature, you know where to come. You are welcome anytime.

My stay at Je the reserve was amazing! I connected right away with the other packers, and Martin and his family were always super helpful and caring about our well-being. The work is hard but really rewarding — being in contact with nature all day teaches you so much. The vibe of the project reflects Martin and Caroline's energy, and I loved the chance to join meditations and other activities. Martin is a great leader who can navigate through stressful situations. Thank you so much everything!

Martin is an excellent host and made my first worldpackers experience magnificent. From good communication before arrival all the way through to the final goodbye he made us feel welcomed. The day-to-day work felt balanced and engaging. He gave us a lot of responsibility and free agency which allowed for a very flexible schedule. Overall I would recommend him as a host to my friends and family

Martin and family were like a ray of sunshine for us. Everything was made so easy for us and was a truly immersive experience . Quite forest life, very enjoyable walks to do around, lake and river access, work is not that hard especially if your mood is happy and you will make friends because they make you feel like you are part of the family. We stayed in our own cabin which is just getting finished and got everything we needed and more. Cannot thank enough for the welcome, the great treatment and the wholesome goodbye too. I would have stayed longer if I could but deffo coming back! Best wp

There are no words in any language to express how grateful I am for having had this place as my first volunteer. It has far exceeded my expectations, and I enjoyed every single activity. Thank you, Martin, Carolina, the girls (especially Sandrine), and Orbit, for welcoming me so warmly from the very beginning and caring for my well-being. I take with me wonderful memories and I will especially miss the warm hugs. I received more than I gave and I leave transformed, grateful, and filled with love. You made my light shine again and that brightness will never fade, this was special gift from God.
