Transforming a community party boat in Amsterdam

My stay at the boat was great. Mark was always attentive to our needs so we all felt comfortable. It should be noted that the work being done is heavy and manual. The company of the other volunteers makes the work less burdensome; the hours can even be flexible at times. At the end of the day, you can swim in the river or explore the city. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your project, Mark and Nina. Gonna miss my friends Jhonathan and Frank. Best wishes to you all!

I had a great experience on my 3 week visit building furniture! The host Mark is a great guy, little busy but always ready to help. Everything I needed was provided to me from tools to a washing machine. Communication was clear, and I had no troubles during my stay. Workdays were long and physical, but with the right attitude quite fine. We also had a say in our working times. Mark isn't the strictest guy when it comes to safety, but I got all the gear I asked for and wasn't pressured to do anything I didn't feel safe doing. I had an amazing visit, and recommend this to anyone hardworking.

My stay at the boat was shorter than the arrangement (2 days instead of the 3 weeks). I left earlier because of the difference in the expectations I had when starting versus what the volunteering entailed. The work was quite physically demanding which is what I expected but the lack of safety and assistance was something I think could be improved on for future volunteers. The hours and the actual accommodation description was also something that differed which contributed to me ultimately leaving. I hope Mark and the boat the best
