Was so nice getting back to John and Odie's place and seeing the progress they've made via hard work and a true passion for their lifestyle. The exact same wonderful souls I left in February. We wanted to try and encourage the boys to take even more of an interest in the wilderness that surrounds them, the plants and animals and it was a pleasure to help get them excited about this as I worked around the grounds! John and Odie are amazing parents raising a couple of brilliant lads. Moy bien! John and Odie are like my big siblings at this point and I'd encourage anyone to come and stay!

This was my first WorldPackers experience and John and Odilia couldn't have been more welcoming. I felt encouraged to contribute to the family living in ways that interested me. I really enjoyed my stay, and the company during my time. I also had a lot of fun playing football on the trampoline with the boys. John and the boys took me out a couple times to see the local area and these trips were absolute highlights for me. The hikes and waterfalls are incredible! I recommend this experience if you're looking to escape the busy world for a bit and experience some off-grid living.

John, Odilia and their boys are really kind people, the first days we got to know each other better but it wasn't weird or anything, it were nice talks, a really good vibe and I felt immediately welcomed. From the first day I truly enjoyed the stay. We had the possibility to find our own routine with what we liked the best. I had heart warming conversations and it kind of felt like home. We got so many good recommendations what we could visit and saw the beauty of the nature around. It is such a beautiful memory of mine and I am grateful I have met so lovely people.

These 2 weeks with you guys were so funny, respectful, relaxing and varied. We had the honour to be part of your family and had still enough privacy and free time to explore the surroundings. John and Odilia are so open minded and so relaxed with the tasks. The two very playful sons have so much energy and it was an honour to spend time with these two on the trampoline, playing football or in the pool. All in all we felt welcomed and had fantastic two weeks off grid! Dank je wel!

Mucho gracias John, Odilia, Ilya, and Eli! From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcomed. They gave me the space to express myself, even though I don't speak fluent English. Even when I got sick, they took such good care of me and gave me time to recover. The children, Ilya and Eli, are thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Spending time with them, on the trampoline or playing football, was pure joy. I also appreciated being able to do other tasks that I enjoyed and that I could use my strengths. Hasta luego mi amigos! ♥️

John and Odilia have fashioned a lifestyle in the Valencian hills. Their property is an ever-developing space, an exciting project I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to help out with. John is a diamond geezer; funny, knowledgeable and experienced. He has become an excellent friend of mine and is clearly just as effective as a father and husband. Odilia is what can only be described as a wellspring of divine feminity; beautiful inside and out, both welcoming and nurturing. I was truly made to feel like one of the family at the farm and am happy to say I have made friends for life.

This experience was better than I could ever imagine. John and Odilia are so lovely and they really will make you feel at home there. Even with my rainy days at the beginning they filled them with joy, warmth and lot of fun. Ilya and Eli are like the sweetest guys ever. They are so playful and pure and they will be so grateful for jumping on a trampoline. Thanks to this trip I found out a lot about myself as well, because of the free time that they gave me, but I never felt lonely there. I could talk to them about everything and I always felt heard and appreciated. Best trip ever!

Fue una de las experiencias más increíbles que viví. El lugar es un sueño hecho realidad literalmente, en medio de todo. Si te gusta el senderismo, hay pueblos, ríos, cascadas y lagos. Perritos que te despiertan a besos. Son una familia hermosisima, con valores y un ideal claro, hacer del mundo un lugar mejor! Encontraron una forma alternativa de vivir que pensé imposible. Cuidan cada detalle y comparten su saber con amor. Lo recomiendo por su calidad humana y su espíritu aventurero, tienen algo especial que aún no puedo explicar, pero que llevaré siempre conmigo! Gracias totales de todo coraz

Hola, mi experiencia fue mil linda, odi y john fueron muy buenos, y los nenes son un amor, jugamos futbol, nos divertimos. Yo no hablo inglés y ellos no tuvieron ningún problema en recibirnos, mi amiga Melanie ayudaba con la traducción. Son una familia increíble, cualquier problema podes hablar con ellos, todos colaboran y el ambiente es de mucha ternura y respeto, conectamos con la naturaleza, fuimos a conocer un pueblo cerca, usamos las bicis, pudimos cocinar comida típica de nuestro país, pasamos pascuas con una familia amiga de ellos y fue super divertido conocernos entre todos. Gracias ❤️

Me encantó haber vivido esta experiencia, recomiendo, fue un desafío, nunca había dormido en carpa con lluvia, son resistentes al agua, no pase frío y conecte con la naturaleza, aprendí la importancia de cuidar el agua,lo más lindo fue haber hecho un intercambio cultural con otros voluntarios y la familia. Realmente son muy generosos, receptivos, me sentí como en casa. Los niños son muy dulces y buenos, una vez que comienzas a jugar con ellos te diviertes mucho. Puedes conocer otros pueblos ya que te brindan una bici para pasear y también paseamos con la familia, y compartimos muchas comidas!
