My 3 weeks at the glamping were great! Since it was autumn, our work consisted mainly of picking up leaves. At the end there was already a lot of snow, so we were shoveling snow the whole time. The work was only 3 hours per day, so it's very chill. There's also a nice environment with the workers, the other volunteers and the home, so it was a great place to be. The appartment has all the facilities needed: kitchen, fridge, shower, etc, and it's warm inside. I had a whole room for myself because it was off season. There is a little shop nearby, but we were told not to buy “ready-to-eat” food there

It was a very happy work schedule. The accommodation is a dorm with a tiny kitchen but very cozy. They offered a free cable car ride to the top of the mountain. The location was perfect if you love outdoor activities!

For my first Worldpackers experience, I don't think it could have gone any better. I really appreciate the home's respect for hard work. I felt recognized and cared for during my stay here and am very glad I came. I'm leaving Shymbulak with a lot of good memories. I recommend this experience to anybody who is looking to work hard, meet locals, and enjoy life in the mountains.

I stayed for a month in the winter and it was incredible, a life-changing experience. The environment is incredible, the resort staff are very nice and friendly people, the work is simple and always pleasant, everything is very beautiful. I lived for a month in a place that looks like Disney, sometimes I couldn't believe I was having this opportunity. I learned to ride a ski, made new friends in a totally different culture and that's all a volunteer wants. Thank you Tal for sharing your home and your life with me, I will always be grateful for this opportunity, be happy and enjoy your life.
