Brian knows so much about LA so wherever I ended up in this way too big town he could give me a ton of ideas on what to do and check out. Already miss the house and chill atmosphere!

Brian was my first experience of Worldpackers and I couldn't have asked for a better one. He's a great host who really wants his guests to have the best time they can in LA and accordingly he is always willing to help you make plans, adapt the work schedule around your plans etc. The work was engaging and in an interesting setting and the food provided by Brian's excellent cooking on workdays meant I was always very well fed. I had a great time in the home really discovered the city like I didn't think I would and can't thank Brian enough.

Brian is one of the most wonderful Americans you will ever meet. He is intellectual, generous, and has a wonderful personality. Dandy is the cute little dog who loves to play. You will enjoy playing with him. The house is clean and beautiful. The duties are easy. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and you can go hiking. I will not tell you about how good Brian is at Cooking You will know this yourself. If you do not like a certain dish that your mom cooked for you, just tell Brian to cook it for you and you will love it, I promise you that. Thank you Brian for this special experience.
