A Gothic Journey. Volunteer in a Historic Countryside Home

México

Our experience was not what we expected. The main host left after two days, and communication could have been clearer. The environment often felt unwelcoming. We were open to both indoor and outdoor work, but when we requested an indoor task due to the cold weather, it was misunderstood as unwillingness to help. Additionally, another guest's behavior made us very uncomfortable. The location also requires a 30-minute uphill walk from the bus stop. Unfortunately, we wouldn't recommend this experience.

Perla arrived with a friend, even though the listing specifies outdoor volunteering—she later said she couldn’t work outside. We tried to accommodate. During her four-day stay, equipment was damaged due to rough handling. There were also tense interactions, especially with Dan, the co-owner, and she was rude to a paying guest—at one point asking both to leave the kitchen, which was disruptive. We aim to provide a positive space for respectful, proactive volunteers.

Dan and Sarah were welcoming and communicated what tasks needed to be done before work every day. The hours were sufficient for the exchange of accommodation and space. The local town was about a 25 minute walk- perfect to discover on the weekends. I would recommend this experience to someone who is looking for an adventure out there!

This was my first worldpackers experience and I was absolutely blown away the entire time! Sarah was an incredible host: energetic, encouraging and welcoming! The house is huge and beautiful, straight out of a fairytale, and the town down the road is just as charming. Most of all I loved meeting and growing close to the other incredible team of volunteers I was working with! Our hours were respected and we worked wonderfully as a team! Overall this was an amazing adventure and once in a lifetime experience :)
