I had a great time with Siewart and Tanya! They love connecting with travelers and sharing stories. It's a quaint village that's very charming. Can't wait to see the flowers we planted, bloom!

This is the way a volunteering experience is suppose to be but in many instances isn't. Stewart, Tanya, and their family are wonderful people. In 9 years of volunteering, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The work was easy, the food fantastic, and their company wonderful. I met their family and friends, as well as exploring Friesland with their help. It is a gorgeous area along the North Sea. Don't miss this opportunity to visit this family. It will be an unforgettable memory to keep with you the rest of your life. I highly recommend coming and staying for a time.

This was my first worldpackers experience and I do not regret it one bit!! Tanya and Siewart along with their lovely family and home were very welcoming guests and taught me a lot :)) The private room I stayed in was very cozy and the work I did was within the agreed upon hours and they tried their best to explain to me exactly what they expected and wanted (eg. potting plants, cleaning windows and doors). Tanya is an amazing cook and we enjoyed lots of really yummy traditional Russian salads with ingredients fresh from the garden!!

Eu me senti acolhida pela família anfitriã. Super gentis e respeitosos! A experiência foi de uma conexão importante com a terra, com o plantar e manejar. A jornada de 3 horas/dia de trabalho foi fundamental para que eu ficasse tranquila e pudesse também realizar atividades para mim. Acredito que Worldpackers deveria sugerir para todos os anfitriões que até 4 horas de trabalho é uma contribuição interessante.
