Staying with Boyd and his family was definitely one of the best experiences I had volunteering! The place is especial and surrounded by nature, is peaceful and beautiful! They all made me feel like I'm home, they are very kind people. The room is great and the food is always delicious. I will miss waking up with this view and having this energy around. Grateful for my time here!

The best first experience from wordlpackers. The atmosphere, place, people. Whole experience is beyond words. Lots of laughter, travel knowledge, insights about the world, and delicious food. If you want, you can learn a lot and take something meaningful for yourself—but it all depends on you. You can meet fellow travelers and build amazing connections. And the family itself makes you feel like part of a team, where your presence truly matters.

Boyd and his Mother are really friendly and welcoming! We had a fun time with various tasks such as clearing weeds and helping build the bungalows. We appreciated that you could manage your time very freely. They cooked amazing food and really let us in to their home!

The experience in Madeira was good. The weather is very pleasant and the island is very touristy, so there's a lot to do. As for the tasks, they're mainly construction, as it involves renovating two bungalows and we also did some planting. The schedule and days off are flexible. The food is delicious and varied, Boyd and Valene are great cooks. Valene, Boyd's mother, is very kind, loving, and approachable. Overall, it was a good experience. Thank you for everything Boyd!

I really enjoyed this experience, if you are looking to escape the routine, enjoy landscapes and exchange some of your construction and gardening skills. This is a perfect destination, Boyd and his mother Valene welcomed us like family and for that I want to thank them for all affection. I'm going to start 2025 with new energy and a lot of motivation!

The farm was the best volunteering experience I've ever had! The tasks are very diverse, we did a bit of everything: gardening, construction, painting. It was enriching to learn new skills. The schedules are respected and Boyd and his beloved mother Valene are wonderful people, polite, respectful, flexible, positive and calm minded. This made the experience pleasant. We had plenty of food and we could cook whenever we wanted. Boyd always gave us lots of tips on what to do on the island. The landscape is incredible and the place is great for connecting with nature. Thank you for everything!

This was a fantastic first volunteer experience! Host Boyd welcomed me with great openness and sincerity. 2 weeks flew by without me noticing, working on various gardening and construction projects. Boyd's family helped with various questions and suggestions for things to see in my free time. The schedule was easy to adjust, so I went every day to enjoy local hiking trails, beautiful sunsets and nature. I also got to enjoy fresh bananas and a cooling shower in a the farm! IT WAS GREAT! :)

Maris was truly fabulous. He worked hard, never complained (about digging) and did a great job. He had a great attitude, was a pleasure to be around, and we all shared some good laughs. Would hire him permanently if I could. I would definitely host again and would highly recommend to others considering hosting him.
