The three weeks I spent with Sara and Daryl were indescribably wonderful. Everything from everyday gardening, caring for the ducks, and playing with your beloved dog was incredibly fulfilling.

Fumi was a pleasure to host. He is very respectful, polite, and helpful. We had interesting cultural exchange about Japanese culture and norms, as well as about international relations. Although he is a city boy, he did his best helping with outdoor tasks. We recommend Fumi as a volunteer.

Fumi is a wonderful workawayer. He did a great job with the everyday tasks such as sweeping, cleaning, and organizing. He is always looking for ways to help and jumps in when there is work to be done like washing dishes. He is an interesting guy and is fun to talk with. He also did a bunch of weeding in the garden, pruning, and clearing ivy. And… read more
