It was a truly amazing and pleasant experience. Ben is a great guy to learn/ be around, easy going over all. Very thoughtful and witty , enjoyed our conversations together. Beautiful port area with a great view of downtown London. Highly recommended and will definitely do it again! Thanks so Ben! It's been an honor.

It was an eclectic, fun, sometimes hectic and challenging and sometimes very rewarding experience. As a person looking for design/architecture volunteering opportunities, I enjoyed seeing the timber structure coming together, collaborating with others and working in the open air. The schedule and assigned tasks were frequently unclear and not really thought through and/or kept changing, which required a certain amount of patience, flexibility and efforts at clear communication. We didn't eat meals together- me and the other volunteers bought our own food and had a working kitchen to cook in.

Ben es buena persona y el trabajo fue muy divertido. Pero tengo que hablar también que las condiciones del barco no estaban para nada buenas. Muy sucio y desordenado. Ademas el baño estuvo roto las dos semanas que estuve por lo que debíamos ir a uno afuera con el frío y la lluvia de Londres.. Tampoco tenía agua caliente.. No hay desayuno ni almuerzo ni cena .. solo 20e q para el costo de Londres no alcanza para mucho. Lo hablé con él y dijo que se comprometía a solucionarlo. Espero que así sea porque es un proyecto hermoso.

It's a different experience, living on a boat is something unique, zero privacy, the bed is literally in the kitchen, in some situations you have to work more hours during the day, if you don't have a problem with this, you'll be fine. I hardly shared with Ben but he's a very kind person, sometimes he invites you to dinner with his friends on the other boats.

Es un proyecto que requiere mucho compromiso, limpieza y paciencia, tienes q estar dispuesto a colaborar en todo tipo de labores, sin embargo, te da la oportunidad de vivir en Londres y esta muy bien conectada con bus al centro por bus (188) o el (1) asi como tambien dos estaciones de metro muy cercanas, canada waters y surrey quays. Llevar ropa contra el frio es fundamental! Si eres una persona responsable lo vas a disfrutar de seguro!

Ben is a good guy but he doesn't have the structure to receive volunteers. I was amazed about going to have a experience in a boat but wasn't not even close to what I imagined. No toilet, no shower, no place to laundry properly to runaway the weather of London and no bike to use. If those things were better…. Probably would be a good experience… the place needs to be more welcoming… clean, organize… so the volunteer can work properly! Everything is a lesson… so actually I am also grateful even leaving earlier.

Todo estuvo muy bien, disfrutamos nuestra estadía y aprendimos. El lugar es como se muestra en la publicación, Ben es una persona muy amable y te respeta tu tiempo libre. Estarás viviendo en un barco así que las comodidades claramente no son como en una casa, pero es parte de la experiencia, yo la pasé bien y era lo que esperaba. Tienes tiempo libre para conocer Londres y el trabajo no me pareció muy difícil o algo que no pudieras aprender. Quizás por mejorar hacia un poco falta de planeación en el proyecto, pero en cuanto al voluntariado estuvo muy bien, gracias Ben.

Great experience so far! Ben is amazing he treats you like a friend and he's always down for a good meal together. The neighbours are great too, you can always find someone to talk to and the accessibility to public transport is right on point. We're DIY building here so expect a bit of physical work but you'll always have lots of free time to use as you want :)
