My time at the host was amazing! I loved working with Sindy, Beatriz, and Pamela, and they were always kind, warm, and welcoming. Although the work description isn't super clear on their profile - you have to click LEARN MORE for the complete information - I was confident that whatever they needed I could provide. It is translation work from Spanish to English and vice versa, primarily, with a bit of cleaning and other assistance thrown in. For me, this was a great exchange, and probably my favorite one I've ever done because languages are my field of choice. I left with the best memories.

The experience was great, my partner and I had lots of fun translating, helping in the kitchen and interacting with the guests. The chefs are amazing in their job and treated us like family. The managers Eric and Pamela were also lovely people, always accommodating when we wished to have free time. The only issue was the room we slept in, but I was told also that now it's another room so it should be all good. In short we do recommend the volunteering here for many reasons, but specially the people, we miss them a lot!

I had a great time getting to know Beatrice and pamela. They were always positive and happy and created such a welcoming environment. They even gave me and another volunteer a going away lunch!

This volunteer experience was great. The work was easy and fun and left a lot of free time for other activities. The food you make is great but gets repetitive eating the same meal every day. Also we are supposed to receive free dinner every night but if it's your day off or there's no classes that day you won't receive a meal. We were told we were welcome to use the ingredients in the kitchen but only were told that in the last couple days. Other than that it's a worth while experience. The chefs are great and you get to work with so many interesting people. Would recommend
