Staying with Vania and Felipe has been the upmost experience in my life. They are very caring, love to communicate and are truly good people. I have learned a lot about myself and the world and to not be scared to try new things and meet different people. Taking care of Kai was so much fun. He's calm and loves to play. Having the dogs for company was even better than I could've imagined. Working hours aren't much just six hours of playing with the baby and walking the dogs so there is plenty of personal time. The atmosphere at their place is so calming and welcoming. I am thankful.

It was actually my first worldpackers experience ever. And it was a very good one! Vania and Felipe really put in effort to make me feel at home. The work is very fun and not too much at all. It is a very personal experience because your part of a family for some time. I thought it was really special and am grateful that I could be part of it. They do have a curfew of 00:00 because of the dogs and kai. Which is perfectly reasonable but if you look to party or stay out late, this experience is maybe not for you.

I really enjoyed my time here staying with Vania & Felipe at their home/ yoga the host near Porto. It was a life changing experience! They're amazing hosts, I felt very welcomed & cared for like a second family in Porto. I really recommend this experience for other travelers who are looking for more of a personal Worldpackers experience. You do end up spending a lot of time with their family & are really integrated into their life so if this is what you're looking for then definitely this experience is for you! The location wasn't to far from Porto & it's really easy to get there through bus
