We were the first volunteers in the project. The host is kind and values meals a lot. Tasks were unclear, so we had to ask for a schedule. There were many wasp nests that made work difficult. The house is far from town, and buses are unreliable. Once, a bus didn't stop, and the host said she “didn't feel like” picking us up, so we had to wait for the next bus in the morning. We ended up paying for an Uber ourselves, although we thought the host would cover it in such cases🤔. Communication could improve, but overall the atmosphere was good despite the issues.

Arrived a day late and needed extra pickup due to wrong station. Often distracted, left tools dirty, damaged surfaces, and used materials carelessly. You broke a very precious object for me. Missed two buses despite being told the day before I’d worked all day and finished at 11–11:30 pm, so couldn’t pick them up. Public behavior at times was inappropriate. The location of the house and the transportation options are well described in "the Position".

Fui con mi mejor amiga; era mi segundo voluntariado y el primero de Violeta. Siendo sincera, estaba aterrada de que saliera mal, pero fue una experiencia muy buena. Tuvimos una conexión excelente; Violeta es una persona muy graciosa y atenta. Las tareas eran bastante simples y los horarios de trabajo muy flexibles. Lo único “malo” fueron las avispas: nunca me picaron, pero igual daban un poco de miedo. Me encantaría volver en algún momento, realmente recomiendo a este anfitrión.❤️
