Paula and Emre spent three weeks at our place while we were away. They were looking after all the domestic animals for two households; dogs, poultry, horses etc. We returned to happy animals and a tidy house. Paula and Emre are good communicatiors, cheerful, have a lot of interests and can work independently. Thanks Paula and Emre for coming to us.

We spent 3 week at Lina and Ivans place. Our mayor tasks were feeding the animals (dogs, chicken and horses). We took the dogs for a little run and also up to the paddocks when we were working with Nick (Linda and Ivan's son) with the sheep and cattle. We helped to move some furniture and did some gardening.
Linda and Ivan made us feel like home… read more

Such a great couple to have as volunteers at our jungle place. Very friendly and outgoing, helpful and smart. They were helping us alot with maintenance tasks, cleaning, building and entertaining our guests. Hope they also had fun and learnt new things about life in the Jungle.
This couple is a gem!!! 🤗

we stayed two weeks at Jeff's lodge and took care of daily tasks such as cleaning and finalizing a bamboo hut, building signs and cleaning the kitchen. eventhough the lodge was not anymore in too good conditions and the kitchen was dirty, we had a good time making our diving license with Jeff and using the kayaks to discover the surrounding area.… read more

Thanks for being with me and my family for a day and one night…It was not bad to host both of you but I think u don’t really understand the culture and description of my profile.
I guided and hosted since 2011 and had more than 20 volunteers from around the world and this is the worst that I experience. There is also only little help that this… read more

we spent two weeks at shankari artists sanctuary and really enjoyed it. at the beginning we couldn't get over where we were about to stay: the mosaic all over, the pool, the river going to the sea, the huge garden, the fire place and most of all: the people we got to know and forming kind of a community - it all just fit! we had an amazing time… read more
