I loved my stay with Kevin & his family! I felt so welcomed and comfortable (especially as a solo female traveller & being the only volunteer there at the time!😊) The work was enjoyable and easy, I stayed here outside of coffee season so my days involved plant watering, cleaning the floors & I also helped out a little at his sisters plant store! On my day off we went on a sunrise and waterfall hike which was amazing!! Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience Guatemalan culture & practice their Spanglish ;) ☺️☺️

Kevin and the whole family are super friendly and I felt at home instantly. Kevin made breakfast and we had a slow morning before starting the tasks of the day. Lunch was alsways at his sisters house which is also a plant store. The food was very good and I enjoyed spending some time with the family and the small kids. All in all it was a fun but calm week filled with a lot of nature, good talks, paternas, macadamia tree planting and a beautiful sunrise hike.

Depending on whether it is coffee season or not, you help on the coffee finca or with their plant business, but kevin always made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing & super flexible when it came to working hours! In addition to getting to know the cute pueblo in the mountains, you're also a part of their family:) Kevin is very understanding, open minded, patient & always happy to recommend activities or places nearby & depending on his own workload to even come along! not my first, but definitely my best worldpackers project so far😌

I spent 1 week with Kevin and his family in their small beautiful village. This was my 1st international volunteer experience and the family is also fairly new to hosting which made for a mutual learning experience. I believe that this has great potential for growth and fulfillment for both volunteers and the family. Kevin was open to talking and hearing my opinions and I hope I was equally open & responsive. Kevin & his family were warm and welcoming, albeit still learning how to live with strangers in their home. I worked mainly helping the family with their plant businesses- recommend 100%

It was a great first experience as a volunteer. We had a great time! The welcome of Kevin and his whole family is incredible. They're all present to help us at any time so that we are comfortable and that we don't lack anything. We were able to carry out various tasks and we discovered local life thanks to the whole family. They introduced us to their village and taught part of the culture of Guatemala. It's a very generous family and with great flexibility, they're really multitasking! If you're passing through Antigua, we strongly recommend it. We would still have a lot to say...
