My first WP experience was absolutely incredible and more than what I hoped for! The hosts were kind and inviting to all sorts of experiences and I've made some wonderful friends during my time here. Work can be busy at times but felt fulfilling to what I'm passionate about. I learned so much between media, creating a plan, and being eco-conscious :) I'd recommend volunteers to have a car since there's plenty to explore (can't ever have enough beaches). The property is wonderful and I loved watching the sunsets, cooking outdoors, and sleeping with frog sounds at night. Can't wait to come back!

This was an amazing experience. Such a beautiful and peaceful place with really good people (Owners and roommates). This experience just made me feel at home✨🦋 This farm is close to a bus stop, so it's easy to get to downtown by bus if you don't have a car. Markets and the best pizza place are close too 😊

This was my first WP, and my experience at the Center was unforgettable. The property is absolutely beautiful and spending each day immersed in nature, eating homegrown fruits was very special. The work was fair, could be quite busy at times, but chill other times! I would really recommend other volunteers have a car to make the most of your time here. I had a private room which was so cozy and I will miss the ocean view from bed SO much. I am forever grateful to have met Silvia, who made my experience here so memorable and has become a great friend. Mahalo GHF for becoming my home!! ❤️ :)
