Spending time at Rootsthe project has truly been one of the best experiences of my life if not the best. Dunster is such a magical place, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes that make every day feel special. Working with Yann and Kat was always fun, they're two amazing humans with a beautiful family, and they taught me so much about life and their unique way of living. I really fell in love with this place! I would highly recommend this volunteering experience to anyone who wants to connect with nature and meet wonderful, inspiring people along the way.
