Matthew and Stanka welcomed us as part of their family from the very first moment. During the three weeks we spent there, they were always kind and helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The tent was very comfortable and clean. The tasks were varied and interesting, and the working hours and days were flexible. They also recommended many beautiful places where we could spend our free time. The area and the island itself are absolutely stunning — we highly recommend this experience!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it couldn't have been better! Matt welcomed me at the airport and from the start made me feel at home. I mostly helped with building the second bathroom and daily tasks, always with flexible hours that left enough time for amazing experiences. I got to try windsurfing, waveboarding, a boat trip, and I met a lot of wonderful people from all over the world. Matt and his family have created a little paradise where I immediately felt like part of the family. Truly unforgettable experience. Thank you so much, deeply grateful and highly recommended!

Matt and Stanka treated me like a daughter. They have healed my inner child. Yes we did fun tasks like power washing the house, fixing a patch in the tent and setting up my tent to sleep in. But they also always involved me in family gatherings and trips to the beach. I have felt at home a thousand miles away from it. Their kids Millie and Frankie are the sweetest and politest kids I have ever met. I have laughed and learned and cried while saying goodbye. If you want to learn about sustainable living this is the right place to be .
