The home will stay in my heart for a long time! Wonderful house with a garden and a view of the ocean. A host with whom I had a lot in common. And the team! It was really hard for me to believe how lucky I was to come across such a place and such people during my 1st solo trip. The work was sometimes hard, but that's what I came here for! I did a lot of things for the first time in my life, for which I sincerely thank you! Ervin always made sure that everybody is okay with the tasks. If you value privacy, you like to learn new things, you love food and wonderful views is a place for you!

I had an unforgettable stay at the home! Erwin and Josiane made me feel at home from the second I arrived. Communication went fluently since we share the same mother tongue, Dutch, however they're also fairly fluent in English (and perfect in French). They took me with them to explore the island, which was great! They really treated me like family! Make sure to be flexible, since tasks can vary from day to day, which is also nice so you have a lot of variation! And don't be scared of some insects. We almost always cooked and ate delicious food together! I really recommend this position! 😃

Our stay at Erwin and Josieannes home was a very ideal first Worldpackers experience. The basics described on the website were all there: the accomodation was comfortable, the workload was feasible and you never had to go to bed hungry. Furthermore, Erwin loves to cook and learn new recipes as well so that was a huge plus. The workload was not monotonous for us and truly interesting and Erwin always organized it in accordance with the volunteers and in regards to the hours on the website. It's good to be flexible bc working plans for the day can change depending on weather, staffing etc.:)

I had a great time at the home. The work was good, Erwin lets you choose tasks and you can always do different ones. He showed us many places around the island. Also, his mother and him are very kind people. Our room was clean and comfortable and the food situation was nicely handled. Julian and I also got to know great volunteers, especially Nele, which I am really thankful for and it made the stay even more fun. I am glad I made this experience and seeing how much the place developed during the time we were here makes me happy.
