Fue mi hogar por semanas y fue una experiencia increíble!! Felipe y Valentina estuvieron pendientes desde el día 1, me hicieron sentir parte de ellos, lo cual aprecio demasiado, junto a Héctor y doña Francy, que son unos amores de personas❤️considero que el buen team que se tiene aquí hace que una no se quiera ir. Los trabajos por realizar son cómo mencionan en la descripción, son sencillas de hacer y el horario es flexible. Definitivamente recomiendo este lugar si quieres un ambiente chévere, conocer personas de todas partes del mundo, mejorar tu inglés y aprender más de 🔨🎨🪴

Muchísimas gracias por esta experiencia! Felipe es un anfitrión excelente. Fue mi primera experiencia en Worldpackers y fue genial! Un ambiente MUY agradable y tranquilo. Vivir en una casa antigua en el centro de Bogotá es muy enriquecedor. Felipe me ha ayudado a entender muchas cosas lindas e importantes de la vida. Tiene mucho conocimiento de las plantas y sabiduría ancestral. Conseguí ayudarle en lo que pude y tuve posibilidad de trabajar productivo y descansar bien. Fue un intercambio muy lindo. Gracias y mucha prosperidad! 🙏🏻🌿🌞
