It was a wonderful experience ! I really liked working in the host Bar, David is very nice and always make sure that you're feeling good. I only stayed one week playing with the dogs, opening coconut (like a ninja) and fishing on the kayak. I really recommend if you like nature and calm :)

One of the best experiences I've had through Worldpackers! I stayed right on the beach, surrounded by nature, monkeys, four playful puppies, and giant lizards – it was wild in the best way. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I felt like part of the family from the start. I learned so many new things – like how to fish, how to open and cut coconuts, and how to cook traditional local meals. Living with just the basics, away from all the city noise, helped me really slow down

I had an amazing time at the host Bar ! I've met beautiful people and I really enjoyed to cook here ! David and Asmi are really kind and funny guys and the work is pretty easy as long as you know how to live in community ☀️ For the next volunteers, here some advices for your stay : 1. bring at least 2 packs of cleaning wipes if your staying more than a week 2. mosquito repellent is necessary but bringing long sleeve clothes is one of the best strategies for mosquitoes ! Thanks again for hosting me !

It was a really nice volunteer mission in a beautiful environment, completely off-grid, allowing to take a real break in a simple the host, reconnecting with nature and spending a lot of time chilling in hammocks or playing games with other volunteers! Job was nice and easy and everything's explained by the volunteers already on-site when you arrive. The big plus is the 6 beautiful doggies you'll spend plenty of time with ! ✨ (Make sure to shop for all the necessities you might need camping wise before hand ~)
