Misty was an amazing host โ€” she made everything feel more like "Could you help me with this?" rather than just giving us tasks. The hours were super flexible, there was no strict schedule, and it all felt very relaxed. Her place is beautiful! We stayed in a private bungalow surrounded by a stunning garden full of plants and trees. We helped out with things like painting, putting up wallpaper, drilling, and cleaning around the garden. Plus having dogs around was super fun! Misty was like a walking guidebook when it came to recommending places too! :) Such a warm and lovely experience!

I had a Great time with Misty and Michael, they are such a nice and friendly duo! I am very grateful with the skills I learnt in the past few weeks at their place, as well as for the trust I was given in making things happen through problem solving. There were various activities which made every day different. My girlfriend and I had plenty of time to explore the island, enjoy the local food, and learn more about all the different animals living there. This experience gave me a lot of positive vibes! Definitely recommended ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Misty, Michel & Khao were super open and welcomed us immediatly in the guest house! They told is that the bungalow where we would sleep needed to be renovated, but for us it felt like luxury already! At the start, we were told that making content and taking care of the dogs was the main concern, so we did that. The handyman jobs where often a bit delayed and chaotic but we tried to do some little things. Khao and the other dogs were amazingly cute! Overall, we would definitely recommend this experience! Thanks guys!!
