I really enjoyed my time here! At the beginning things were a little unorganized, and because the house insulation wasn't finished yet, the rooms were pretty cold. But once we got the insulation done and everyone found their rhythm, the whole experience became super nice. The working hours were relaxed, the atmosphere was great, and I ended up staying longer than I had planned because I felt so comfortable. Thanks for the lovely time!

I spoke afterwards with the host and we both agreed this wasn't working. The organisation and communication was almost not existant so a lot of responsibility was forced on us Worldpackers, which was very stressful and unpredictable. The first part of the week the house was almost as cold as outside (12 degrees) which lead to further uncomfort. Me and the other volonteer had to share mattress. I'm sure that Marco (the host) has no bad intentions and personally he's nice. The house is really nice and beautiful.

Mi experiencia en Colowtech me gustó. Se sintió el intercambio cultural, ya que Marco recibe también personas en CS que es una plataforma que también uso. La habitación los primeros días fue privada y luego fue compartida lo que no me molesto para nada. También me gustó que las tareas fueran variadas, mayormente son tranquilas. Lo único que mejoraría sería la comida, fue un poco impredecible, en el contexto de que un día puede que hubiese mucha comida y otros no. Se que con el tiempo se puede mejorar eso. Muchas gracias por todo, les deseo mucha suerte en el proyecto.
