A experiência com o Ben foi INCRÍVEL! O projeto é super bacana, o barco fica super bem localizado e o Ben é um ser humano fora de série. Definitivamente fiz um amigo pra vida. Agradeço super pela oportunidade e recomendo a todos da Worldpackers :)

Trabalhar com o Ben no projeto do barco foi uma experiência muito confusa, pois ele o tempo todo mudava o projeto e mal deixava eu falar. No começo tentei dar minhas opiniões como profissional de arquitetura mas ele já tinha uma ideia de projeto em mente então decidi que iria adaptar as escolhas ao projeto. Já havíamos terminado de decidir o projeto, quando ele me avisa que eu deveria sair do barco com apenas 3 dias de antecedência e isso foi muito estressante pois estava contando com a acomodação até o final do mês.

My host, neighbors in the marina & the general public in London were all friendly. The projects on the houseboat were a great way to put my skills and knowledge to use. In the process I was able to learn a little about boats and boat life. If I am ever presented with a client or design project in the future I will be better equipped to ask the right questions & provide better solutions than if I hadn't ever had this experience. Ben provided deliciously nutritious meals & was good company. The sleeping cabin was super comfy & cozy even in the freezing temperatures. Enjoyable experience.

I absolutely loved my time on the boat. The marina itself is absolutely gorgeous and every time I walked up to it I felt a great sense of peace. I unfortunately had to cut my time there short as my parents needed my help back home. But in the time I was there I enjoyed helping finish off some jobs with my housemate Luca.

It was certainly an interesting experience to be in a houseboat for the first time learning new skills and helping improve it. The tasks seemed challenging at first, but I learned to have a different kind of patience through the guidance given to me. I discovered more then, life always gives us alternative paths that lead us to our desired solutions as long as we keep an open mind. I was able to explore cultural differences and expand on my communication styles. Ben is an extremely nice guy and I now consider him a friend. My experience was not perfect, but certainly positive. Thank you!

It was an enxciting experience helping to do some finishes inside the boat. I've mostly done painting and some furniture projects. The location of the boat is great, Ben in an amazing person and the other volunteers where great too!

Ben was a great host with an interesting project. He was great to talk to and a very interesting person. I am happy I had the opportunity to get to know him well and learn about his project and goals. The Marina where the boat is docked is close to trains to access the city; It is a cool small community and you are provided full access. Thanks Ben!

Worst experience ever . First,he asked me to arrive 2 weeks earlier, the day of my arrival, he asked me if I could find a place to stay for the whole week, had to get there , until next day. Then he told me he had some personal issues and that he would probably need me to leave, I worked 2 days (monday-friday,) on the 2nd day he asked me to leave on Friday, since he was leaving for Hollidays , and he would like his other volunteer to concentrate into fixing the ship. To the other volunteer he said it wasn't safety to have me around since I took a picture in a little boat . Miss the chance
