I had the most wonderful time staying with this warm and welcoming family of eight, along with their adorable pets. Though it was sometimes chaotic, it only added to the charm and homeliness of their place. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel like part of their family with their kindness and care. They ensure I had a great time, organizing fun outings, cozy movie nights, and games. At the same time, they were respectful of my need for independence, giving me the freedom to explore whenever I wanted. Everything felt so easy and flexible, thanks to our open communication.

My experience with Marsha and Yoko was quiet pleasant. It took a while for me to get used to their big and chaotic family but I felt very welcomed from the beginning which helped a lot! I think that it can get a bit overwhelming if you're not used to big families or just having a lot of people around in general but I was provided with a nice and cozy space to retrieve in if needed, which I think is very important. The area, in which they live, is very calm, quiet and perfect to go on walks and enjoy the beautiful view!

Staying with this lovely family was definitely a rollercoaster. I had a little trouble adapting to the family's chaotic routine and hectic energy, but the experience was still fun. Marsha and Yoko were very understanding and communicative with me, which I am so grateful for. I was able to go on beautiful walks and a fun pool activity for free. The space provided for me was adequate and cozy. Overall, I had a good time and I would recommend this experience to any worldpacker who is energetic and loves kids.

It was a short but truly amazing experience, I've been welcomed in with the warmth of the family! There was always something to do and the kids where always open to play a game or go for a walk!

This was my first experience as a worldpacker and it was absolutely amazing! Marsha and Yoko are very nice and kind and I had so much fun with them. They were always there for me when I needed them and they were very supportive. They made my time here very special. Their kids are super fun and I really enjoyed my time with them, they always wanted to play some games and it was very nice. The tasks weren't any hard and didn't take much time which was perfect because I could spend a lot of time in the stunning nature. I really had the best time here and I hope I'll come back someday.
