Jigear is a friendly and hospitable person. we talked about different things and quickly found a common language . The ArtHub is a unique and inspiring place, imbued with creativity. There is a calm atmosphere there. There are also 2 affectionate cats living there. I recommend. I'm glad to spend time in good company. Thank you, Jigear!

Very nice stay in Maria and Chris place in the mountains. The place is wonderful, so quiet and peaceful. Accomodation is very good in the little house separate from their house. You will mostly cook your food for breakfast and dinner or adaptate to spanish schedule. The work is varied as there is so much to do around and Maria will ask what fits the best for you. Be prepare to take very care of the water, maybe not always have water on tap as it is very precious. The place is remote so don't expect to find shops near but you can walk to the closest village 2 and hours away. We really enjoyed this experience thanks to them.

Artis is a very friendly being. Rich in all kind of handy skills. I can highly recommend!

Dear Ulrike, sister and wice woman! I sooo enjoyed our days together! You are a treasure, and you came as a fresh wind into my life - and into my cupboards! 😊😊😊 I remember important conversations and pleasant dinners. You did a GREAT job in both my places, and I am looking forward to see you again! I absolutely would recommend you, my friend! ❤️❤️❤️

Was very lovely and charming. One of the very flexible volunteers I've ever had. Was supper helpful with crazy energy all the time 🤗. I miss you already and love you 😘. I FULLY RECOMMEND EMILIE TO ANY HOST!!

Michael visited me for a short week. He helped me in my city flat and at the beachhouse. Michael is an easygoing, positive man who worked with lots of different tasks during the short stay. He also visited my class and took actively part in the communication with the students. Michael is an excellent baker, and his cake tasted delicious!

Quels agréables moment passés avec Sarah! Bien que ce fut sa 1ère expérience de Workaway, elle a su très vite s'adapter au fonctionnement d'un tel échange. On sent bien qu'elle a l'habitude de vivre en collectivité et la cohabitation s'est merveilleusement bien passée. Sarah fut d'une grande aide au potager, dans la serre, pour la cueillette, pour jouer et passer du temps avec notre fille, pour cuisiner les produits du jardin autant que pour les tâches du quotidien. Toujours enthousiaste et partante pour les divers projets, sa bonne humeur et son énergie positive nous ont comblé pendant ces 10 jours passés avec elle. Elle sera toujours là bienvenue dans notre clairière !

This was my first Workaway experience. I couldn't think of a better start than this. Nee and Udom are wonderful people. From the first day until the last moment I left, I never felt strange and they hosted me very well. Their delightful conversations and warm smiles made me feel like I've known them for years. Nee will always be one of my favorite chefs with her amazing food and special Banana Cake. I can eat Banana Cake every meal without ever getting tired of it :) Udom is an incredible person. I had the opportunity to work with him for a week, and I feel lucky for that. Udom is a hardworking and talented person. Whenever I had a question or wanted to learn something, he was very helpful. I learned a lot from him. If you spend time with him, you will have the chance to get to know an artist closely. Additionally, their 4 wonderful dogs are incredibly friendly. From day one, they accept you as part of the family. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

My experience at the motel was one of the greatest I had in a long while. fresh, young and refreshing, the peolple that come true there are really genuine and you feel welcome the minute you arrive, and miss them the minute you are gone. I wish I could have stayed longer but I will be back to see my friends on the island that's for sure. thank you for everything !:)

I had an amazing stay at Claire and Andrea's place. I couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome. I learnt so much about the Italian and British culture in this lovely place. The hills around are great for cycling, sightseeing and experiencing the Italians villages. Claire and Andrea are quite convenient with trains and offered a few very appreciated rides. Moreover, the tasks were nice, and the dogs amazing. Thanks again and hoping to see you soon, Ilona

I spent approximately eight remarkable days at Elza's. From the moment we met we clicked, and it was as if I had known Elza for a long while. Elza is by nature a very caring, open and open-minded, amicable, articulate, and energetic person. Despite arriving to her place late at night Elza still made time to come and collect me from the train stop. As a consequence of her easy-going nature she initiated our first conversation--beside the ones conducted remotely, where even then she was extremely warm and helpful. During the journey to her place we began getting better acquainted with ourselves, naturally, with her performing a balancing act stabilising one of my luggage whilst pushing her bike along, a memory that will always bring a smile to my face. She was my first Workaway host in the Netherlands and from her I gained better and first-hand insights into the Dutch culture and history. Elza was very conversational and involved from the start, she spoke from experience and shared a great deal of wisdom and knowledge with me. Within one day we had already explored the neighbouring towns and Arnhem via bicycle, during which she was very engaging sharing travel tips, historical stories and timelines of the area and buildings with me. We visited many a wonderful streets, several shops and natural/ecological sites en-route to various destinations. I enjoyed cycling through the natural park or area dominated by the IJssel river, and also along the road that borders the Veluwe national park as one heads into the town of Velp. Honestly, with the amount of things done I felt as though I had achieved so much in the days spent with Elza. As a budding architect it was a dream-come-true to hear back from Elza when I first contacted her, and believe me she responded in record time. Indeed, she went over and beyond what I expected for in addition to further enlightening me on the culture of our trade, she introduced me to her architect friends, amongst other friends and family members. Moreover, I relished being informed of the history of her new house and its former occupants besides being shown her new architectural plan drawings for her dwelling, informed of the reasoning behind these ambitions as well as involved in the planning process where my thoughts and suggestions were appreciated. Work was flexible and immensely enjoyable. Elza tailored her approach to my strengths and desires and made things really fun for me. Further, she answered my questions, explained things to me well, and encouraged me to think out of the box, step beyond the unknown, take agency and dare myself--in a sensible way of course. I appreciate the experiences one gained whilst with her, from removing tiles in the kitchen, to gaining knowledge of how electricity works to building een kippenhok (a chicken stall), fixing a toilet, or at least trying, amongst other things. There were many interesting concepts related to our field and to life that we discussed whilst at her home or on the move, as well as several valuable personal projects and interesting books that she brought to my attention. She was also humble to remark that she learned so much from me when in fact I feel that I learned more from her than the other way around. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect for me was the level of trust she had in that she would allow me to stay home alone, doing work or not, and thus giving me responsibility for her house, thus proving the extent of hospitality I experienced whilst with her. Elza was very encouraging and more like a big sister who is responsible and spontaneous at the same time. In all, this write-up does not do enough justice to nor does it fully summarise the wonderful moments shared with Elza whilst staying with her. I do hope that my account serves enough to encourage many travellers to give Elza a go, you won't be disappointed. The saying 'where does time go' is very apt in this case for how it flew so fast. One advice for Elza when we hopefully meet again: Spreek Nederlands alleen met mij!

The work was very varied and always a lot of fun. We mostly understand each other with limited Turkish language but still feel wonderful. Love the scenery on the way walking to the animal farm and green house. Enjoyed the good conversation after work with the fellow volunteers at the villa. No big deal of getting hand dirty and dirty yellow boots now! Thank you very much for the impressive experience.

Jo is truly an amazing person and we are really happy to have her host. Her good humor, her sensitivity, her respect and her inner harmony involved everyone despite the fact that she is not very extroverted at all but rather a very delicate and attentive person. Furthermore, her physical and mental energy, her resourcefulness and desire to be useful and appreciated, push her to do everything she can to help as much as possible, but always in a discreet and non-invasive way. We were truly lucky to have had this little angel among us, we wish her all the best and happiness!

Yosuke and Yuka-san inhabits a beautiful house up in the hills with tremendous view on the Omura bay. They offer a great opportunity to discover bee-keeping, an activity that Yosuke-sama have been conducting for a long time and will be thrilled to share with you, especially if you bring along skills to share and implement. Aside from bringing personal expertise and project to the place, the work is day to day with no given end time to finish the various tasks. As reward, one will enjoy wonderful meals cooked by a truly kind and skilful chef as well as a mesmerising place to rest. When we came, we were a total of four workawayer and enjoyed a tiny private room formerly used as the house's entrance. To enjoy a volunteering time in this place one must however be able to cope with the following from some of the hosts: miscommunication, erratic behaviour, poor empathic skills, lack of patience and misplaced blaming. We sadly were not planning on enjoying our trip in Japan under such conditions and could not provide the required omniscience. Therefore, we decided to shorten our stay at Yosuke and Yuka-san's place to be able to appreciate more of Kyushu. Undoubtedly, future workawayer who will show resilience will experience a sincere and profitable experience there.

Maggie and Ade are wonderful people. From the moment I arrived, Maggie made me feel at home. Working with her for three weeks was super inspiring. The tasks were easy to carry out, we cleaned, did diy and painted. Super recommended.

We had such a great experience hosting Molly for one month in our home in Lipari. She is a very easy going person, ready to give a hand in any way she can, and always with a smile. Molly helped out with our two little children, going to the park and playing games with them. Shr was also of big help around the house with daily tasks, gardening and general upkeep of a big villa. Molly can fit in any situation, she is open and positive and it was just lovely to have her around every day. The kids will have good memories of her stay with us. We highly recommend her to other hosts for another Workaway experience.

Tuve una gran experiencia durante 3 las tres semanas que estuve junto a Mariam y su hijo Abel en su hogar. Estoy muy agradecida por todos los aprendizajes que me llevé. El lugar, rodeado de bellos animales y de la naturaleza puede ser una gran oportunidad para conectarse con uno mismo y disfrutar, brindando una sensación de paz y tranquilidad. Lo que sí, al estar inserto en la naturaleza y retirado de la ciudad, puede resultar un poco alejado, pero Mariam o su vecina Ana te pueden llevar en 20 minutos hasta la estación de tren más cercana (Bétera), por lo que debes preguntarles y coordinarlo con anticipación. En cuanto al trabajo, las tareas pueden variar de acuerdo a lo que necesite o le propongas a Mariam ella es muy flexible y llegas a acuerdos si se lo comunicas abiertamente. Lo que más disfruté fue alimentar y cuidar a todos sus hermosos animales, es una tarea muy gratificante, en especial, por la oportunidad de conectar con ellos y darles el amor y cuidado que necesitan (si amas a los animales, será una gran experiencia para ti). Gracias Mariam por tu energía desbordante, por las conversaciones, por las recetas de comida deliciosas que me enseñaste y por compartir cada día contigo y tú especial hijo Abel. Y a cada uno de tus animales, en especial a Pino, Chocobo y Marengo por ser unos guardianes y gran compañía ❤️. Te felicito por tu hermoso refugio y por la misión que llevas a cabo de cuidado y protección animal. Abrazos, Paola.

Eat fresh papaya & platano for breakfast, pick your own salad for lunch, enjoy a beautiful melody after dinner and watch the stars in complete silence! As described, you will have a very special experience during your stay in this magical, remote land. This place is for all those who want to (dis)connect deeply, who want to get back to the true basics and are open to discovering something completely new. The man with the sombrero is a very hospitable, gentle and genuinely loving person. You learn a lot about yourself, about Mother Nature with all her intensity, about building and tackling new projects, about permaculture, about nurturing relationships and hopefully also about sowing seeds in the soil (maybe also in the hearts - who knows!?). La Palma is a very beautiful island with great variety. Come and feel it! All the Love to Miguee, the plants & adorable cat mates!! thaank uuu, and until very soon!!!

I had an amazing time with nick and her family. I spend two weeks with nick and her family. lovley people who are kind and patient. Anazing opportunity to get to know the Lao life. If you have a problem nick is happy to help. usually you would stay in a nice bungalow, unfortunately it was broken when a came. but it was still a nice experience to stay on the balcony sorounded by nature with a beautiful view on the river. thanks for the amazing time to you and your family!:)

We had a great time at this beautiful place. We were immediately in awe with what Elona created: the house, nature and views are stunning. We staid for 9 days which Elona was ok with because we slept in our own van (usually her minimum stay is longer). The work was good, we worked quite some hours but time goes fast and we wanted to work :) Elona is experienced with volunteers and this is noticable, we would have 1 or 2 meetings a day to discuss tasks and schedules. We mostly helped with things like dishes, cooking, cleaning, serving the guests and a bit of garden work. The food that Mira made for us was amazing and abundant. The place is vegetarian but Mira accommodated for my vegan diet, which was great. We would have appreciated a bit more time for a (cultural) exchange, but we weren’t there for long and Elona travelled a few days as well. All in all, a great experience, also with the other volunteer Raph. Thanks Elona & Mira!
