Doris and Mario were fantastic hosts. This was my first Worldpackers experience and I'm so glad I applied here. The tasks can be completed in a few hours. Doris is an amazing cook and you will be introduced to many aspects of Swiss culture and food. I had plenty of free time and was able to take many day trips in Switzerland, as well as Austria and Germany. You can easily travel around using public transportation. Even in winter (Feb) I was able to hike on many mountain trails. Their home is a welcoming and cozy place that allowed me to truly enjoy my stay near Lake Constance.

The tasks are very easy and the place is very cozzy , you can feel a warm family enviroment. I had a lot of time for travelling around , the town is beautiful and very relaxing place to walk. I really enjoyed my time here and for sure I want to come back one day! Thank you so much Mario and Doris for a lovely experience!

It was my 2nd time visting these hosts and it was like meeting old friends. (Look at my prior reveiw) Doris & Mario are great people and generous hosts. I trully enjoyed our time together and helping preparing for the Christmas celebration. I got used to the choirs the 1st time around (mainly household and cooking), so they were like a second nature to me. Doris & Mario are really appreciative when you help them and show initiative. They are great in advising you what to do around the town or Switzeland. This is great opportunity for an independent person, who loves nature and cultures.

Doris and Mario were great hostess. they made me feel like home since the first day I arrived. I really enjoyed my stay at their house. Doris is a great cook and learned a lot from her. I enjoyed teaching her some mexican food as well which I think they liked. They both treat you with respect and are always there for any question. I had the chance to see some of the city and St Gallen as well which are beautiful. thank you Mario and Doris for a pleasant time!

My experience at the home was one of the best volunteering opportunities I've ever had the pleasure of working at. Doris and Mario are a very the home couple and make you feel a part of their family. They make sure you settle in well, have lots of free time to do activities, and give you great food. I am very happy I got the chance to participate in this opportunity and will hope to do it again some day. I got to experience true Swiss life at this volunteer role and will remember it forever. Thank you to the best hosts!!!
