I had almost two months of one of my best experiences traveling. I met volunteers, employees, guests and customers who became friends. Karaoke and Kebab nights, learning a new language, boat trips, cooking together, card games, surfing despite the cold and having fun. Although having had a lot of work every day by not having many volunteers in the low season, it was still possible to enjoy Aveiro and I'm very grateful to have been part of the host family, I will definitely be back soon.

It was a very nice experience, even if unfortunately I had to stop it before the deadline. The team is fantastic, I immediately felt like I was in the family, I heartily recommend it

I had no expectations when decided to go to the host but it really got me! I felt really welcome by the people there and had a lot of fun during my stay: Karaoke nights, playing la bamba around the bonfire, skating around... it was really nice! the place itself is a bit far from everything but you will be able to borrow bikes, skates or maybe even the car to go shopping or visiting the places you want. you also get a good coffee and a nice bread everyday. Laura is a lovely person that will be looking after you making sure you have all you need 🫶 thanks for everything guys!!

My time in the host was awesome! You feel part of the family the moment you arrive, Laura and mathias were such AMAZING host! They give you a lot of authonomy and trust, you have flexibility to choose your tasks and schedules (as long as you communicate of course), they give space for clear dialogue and they truly hear you and try their best to make you feel comfortable and safe. You have full access to everything the kitesurf the host provides, you have discount in the bar/restaurant and the vibes are totally incredible. I couldnt have had a better time. Seriously. Gonna miss everyone tremendously

My way fue una buena experiencia en general, tuve oportunidad de conocer personas increíbles y generar amistades muy lindas, practiqué deportes y actividades como así también conocí más de Portugal y sus alrededores, el único inconveniente fue el esquema de horarios de los voluntarios dado que no era muy claro y a veces pretendían que demos más de lo acordado, pero todo se podía conversar y arreglar. Para un futuro mejoraría la organización y la claridad.

Overall, it was a great experience. Stephy is great and, as an experienced traveler herself, knows how to welcome and treat the volunteers! I got the opportunity to learn some kite surfing and experience what coastal life in Portugal is like. I got close to my fellow volunteers and coworkers and felt my saudade before I even left. However, communication is an issue and one must be ready to always ask and communicate their needs. Other than that, you get what you put into it (like every experience) and Aveiro and its greater region will forever and always leave a special place in my heart.

My Way is an amazing place to volunteer if you love water sports such as kiting and surfing. There is a great team of volunteers and workers, and it has the potential to be an amazing volunteering experience. However, most of the time, all the fun and enjoyment is lost due to the owner creating a stressful work environment. I really hope things improve in the future but I cannot see this happening unless the owner makes some real changes to his leadership style and stops blaming everyone else but himself when things go wrong.

The host should be an incredible volunteering spot as you have access to a lot of equipment which you can use for free, the people are amazing, and there are always fun activities happening. But the reality was different to what I expected. - The expectation to work is 36+ hrs (worldpackers says 32) - The main form of 'payment' for your time is kite surfing, but this was hard to come by. In the first month I only kited once, and in the entire 2 months I went 8 or 9 times. - The communication is unprofessional. As an example, threats were made to the entire team on a group chat.
