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.

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!

It was an interesting experience for me. Ben is a fun person to be around and has a big heart. Although he is very chaotic, he truly cares and is very attentive. In ways I thought it worked really well for us and we created a great team! Dare to be interested about his life and ask questions, he's a great story teller and very open to share. You'll have to be an independent worker since he is quite absent (due to meetings) and be flexible when plans change or little tasks come in the way. The profile is not up to date, so it was very different than I expected but still I had a nice time!

Buena experiencia. Se aportan £50 para comida (básicamente groceries) por 2 semanas; Ben suele comprar lo básico (arroz, pasta). Es clave tener buen nivel de inglés para comunicarte bien, ya que los trabajos son tipo DIY y variados. Es una experiencia diferente puesto que se vive en un bote en construcción, cuando fui no había baño instalado, tómalo en cuenta hay uno a 150 m. Los horarios son flexibles, pero deben hablarse con Ben con anticipación, aun así él es amable. Recomiendo quedarte 2 semanas: es suficiente para conocer Londres y aportar al proyecto.

This was a nice experience for my last weeks in London. It was very interesting to stay at a boat in the marina, in the middle of the city. Ben is a super nice guy, he gave me a tour of the place upon arrival and shared his experience so far with this project. He is a very good cook and has great conversation. What I think could be improved is the info on the position: - The project changed from a refugee help center to a personal living space - The design changed from a Wikihouse to a DIY refurbishing one - The hours are usually more than 25 a week, so you must negoiate your time off

One of the more eclectic stays I've had over the past 4 months. the boat is cozy and located in a very nice part of London. Easy access to mass transit and local attractions. Ben is a great guy and provides an eclectic lifestyle and fun work environment. I was able to meet some of the locals in the area and spent my free time traveling all around London.
