Derrik and Paula are both great hosts ,cooks , parents, and friends. I respect and align with their vision and environmental mentality. Both of them and their children live on and tend to some of the most beautiful land in Puerto Rico. Nestled perfect in the rainforest, it was a pleasure to be helping this family with their vision on the land for Derrik and Paula and their son Ikal are all awesome people to be around. Would totally go back. Awesome jungle scene. Biggest bamboo ever!!!

Derrik and Paola were amazing hosts and gave us an awesome first worldpackers experience. Their land was beautiful and their family full of love. They have an abundance of knowledge they are always willing to share. Their cooking was amazing and their children a joy to be around. We felt like part of their family immersed in not just the projects but their everyday life. We got to spend time working on an exciting new project for the farm as well as learn about the coming ones. Their kindness made our time at the farm a special one which we hope to recreate one day.

I had the best time with Paola, Derrick, and their family. The work was engaging and rewarding, and in the evenings I felt like I was a part of their family. Their English is very good but are also patient teachers with my beginning Spanish …. I would highly recommend them to anybody planning to travel to the west coast of Puerto Rico!

Me encantó la experiencia en este lugar ! La verdad fue gratificante trabajar en medio de las montañas y hacerlo con un objetivo. Paola conoce un montón sobre proyectos sostenibles y la verdad aprendí un montón durante mi estadía. Lo recomiendo para conectar con la naturaleza, ayudar a proyectos con causa y ser parte de una familia llena de amor como lo es la de Paola.
