I was very lucky to be welcomed by Doris and Mario and enjoy the company of their cat, Pigue, the true star of the house. The town where they live, Arbon, around the Lake Constance, is the perfect hub for accessing incredible places on short day trips by train or bus. I also made extensive use of the bicycle they lent me. Mario gave me great suggestions for outings, and Doris is such a chef, I didn't even dare cook for them. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your "the home" offering me the opportunity to experience the Swiss way of life 🇨🇭

My time with Doris & Mario was absolutely wonderful, they were so welcoming, easy-going, and a lot of fun to be around! Their home was spacious, cozy, and had charming views out every window. The location was great for easy day trips to nearby cities and even other countries. Even though my stay was relaxing, having some light tasks and responsibilities made each day feel productive. I learned about Swiss culture and cuisine in the most delightful ways. I highly recommend “the home” to anyone who wants a home away from home and an authentic Swiss immersion. Thank you for hosting me!!

Staying with Doris and Mario was an absolute delight! From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me with open arms and made me feel completely at home. Our lunchtime conversations were filled with laughter, stories, and a wonderful cultural exchange that made my experience even more special. Their kindness and hospitality truly stood out, and I can't forget the lovely Peige the cat, who added to the cozy atmosphere. I'm so grateful for the warmth they shared and will definitely be coming back!

Mi experiencia con Mario y Doris fue como una segunda casa. Les gustó mi sazón Mexicano y las manualidades para decorar la casa. Las horas de trabajo al día eran poquitas y el resto del día era para mi. Me asesoraron para conocer el lugar, donde tomar el autobús y el tren. Me recomendaron lugares muy bonitos como Appenzell y pude conocer lo hermoso que es, lo recomiendo si te gusta tu espacio personal, convivir con la naturaleza y la introspección personal. Gracias a su paciencia aprendí nuevas palabras en Alemán, son muy serviciales y si tienes algún problema te ayudan a resolverlo.

I can't recommend Doris and Mario enough. This was my first Worldpackers experience so I was a little nervous, but they made me feel so comfortable and welcome right away. It really was like another home. The tasks are not complicated and very reasonable, and you can always ask questions. Doris is an AMAZING cook, I had almost zero cooking experience and she helped me learn a lot! You'll also have plenty of free time, and it's pretty easy to get to the surrounding areas, as well as explore their beautiful town. Absolutely have this experience if you can, you'll have an incredible time!

My experience with Doris and Mario was amazing. They are great hosts who want to practice English and to know people around the globe, in exchange of keeping their house tidy and taking care of their cute cat Pige. The experience of visiting Switzerland for the first time, and with them being the first people I met, will not be forgotten. I totally recommend this volunteer position if you want to immerse yourself locally in the Swiss-German side and would like company of incredible hosts. Thank you Doris and Mario! Hope to see you in Canada, Venezuela or any corner of the world <3

My experience at the home couldn't have been better. I was very well received from the first moment! Doris and Mário are excellent hosts! The house is beautiful and comfortable, the tasks were simple and everything went as planned. The time I worked allowed me to have a good time at the lake and get to know the region. Doris cooks wonderfully and I was able to try several traditional Swiss dishes. Mário was very kind and printed maps to help me make plans for my days off. And Pige, the diva cat was great company in my days. I really felt at home! I just have to thank you! :)

Doris and Mario provide an excellent opportunity for volunteers to get a real feel for Swiss living and culture. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and comfortable in their home. Doris is an excellent cook and provided delicious, nutritious meals that adhered to my extensive and restrictive dietary requirements. Mario and Doris shared their knowledge and provided current and historical information about the local and extended area. Doris and Mario offer a very fair exchange that involves very manageable work and flexible hours. Thank you both, an experience to be forever cherished :)
