I stayed at Thomas's house in Stromness for 10 days, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Thomas is an amazing host who immediately made me feel at home. My stay was very relaxing and easy-going, and even though we didn't have much garden work due to the weather (which was my main expectation), I still learned a lot from him through our great conversations. I also had plenty of free time to explore and visit most of the islands, which made the experience even more special. For Thomas, this was his first time hosting on Worldpackers, and he did an incredible job. It was my first too and
