This is, without a doubt, the best volunteering experience I could have ever had. It is truly difficult to imagine how it could have been any better. From the very first day, the hosts welcomed us not just as helpers, but as true members of their family. Their warmth, continuous attentiveness, and boundless generosity made every moment special, and the meals they provided were consistently outstanding, offering a real taste of local tradition and care. Participating in the olive harvest was an incredible and enriching experience. Even though it was my very first time working with olives, the hosts were incredibly patient and supportive. They took the time to carefully teach us every step of the process, sharing their profound knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for the harvest and their land. A special mention must go to the incredible team of volunteers. Because the hosts take such great care in reading applications and selecting the right people, I had the privilege of working alongside an amazing, hardworking, respectful, and kind-hearted international group. The camaraderie we built made the work an absolute joy. The setting itself is pure magic. Waking up every single day to breathtaking, panoramic views of the town of Casoli and watching the spectacular sunsets over Monte Maiella is a memory I will cherish forever. This is undeniably one of the finest volunteering opportunities available on the entire platform. I would not hesitate for a single second to return and help them again. Un grazie di cuore ad Angela, Giuseppe, Giordano, Sandra e Leandro per aver reso questa esperienza indimenticabile. Siete una famiglia meravigliosa e vi porterò sempre nel cuore!

Hallo liebe Ria, vielen Dank für deine tolle Hilfe, dein kreatives und leckeres Essen, deine Ehrlichkeit und positive und authentische Art 💜 Wir haben uns sehr gefreut zusammen zu werkeln und hoffen dass wir uns vielleicht nochmal wiedersehen! Alles Gute dir auf deinem Weg 🍀 Freya & Hofgemeinschaft

Felicitas and Victor were excellent company at the farm! They stayed almost 3 weeks and did work hard in the garden cutting the grass and freeing the trees from all the plants which had taken over the land in the rainy season. Unluckily, there was no construction project going on, but they had the chance to help construting a protoype of a solar cooker which is meant to make it for the Nobel prize ;-) . They discovered the surroundings by bike on many afternoons and we had lots of fun cooking and eating together. Come again !

Jeremiah was a great volunteer; he is always supportive and ready to be of service. He truly seems to want to contribute where he goes and participate in the day-to-day lifestyle. He communicates well and has an honest heart.

Chiyuki and Soya were an absolute pleasure to host. They are hard working, honest and fun. Saya is a good cook too. Will apply themselves with enthusiasm and go above and beyond what is required.

This was Lena’s first Workaway and at 19, an old sou, she arrived ready to try pretty much anything. She got an introduction to my entire collection of garden tools — Sawzall, leaf vacuum, power washer and more! Her biggest achievement was building an 8m greenhouse but sadly it was blown down in a storm in ess an 24hrs. 💔 She also built shelving, organized me and helped me unpack, She power washed the terrace and helped with lots of jobs around the house and garden. She was great with my dogs and having her here felt a bit like having a niece come to stay. We had lots of laughs, outings and interesting conversations along the way. A great first Workaway experience and I hope Lena has many more adventures ahead. :) and she will be back soon.

Nicole was wonderful to have around and this was her first Workaway experience. She was caring and thoughtful and helped look after me, the house and the dogs — at times it felt more like having a mum come to stay than a Workawayer! Which I very much appreciated! We had lots of good conversations and laughs, explored the area and enjoyed spending time together. She also cooked us a delicious German meal. Nicole brings a lot of life experience, warmth and energy with her and I hope Workaway takes her on some great adventures. :) She’s always welcome as I knows she really misses France. 😘🇫🇷🇮🇪

Laurence is an amazing host. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would recommend it for anyone wanting to experience jungle/beach life. I am grateful for her hospitality and kindness. Batsy almost never left my side. Such an amazing dog and was sad to say goodbye. Thank you for everything Laurence, I will cherish the memories made there. Hope to meet again some day🙏🏽 Keep up the great work!

Great experience with a sweet, lovely family! Even though my stay was short, we had a rich time together bonding, sharing life, and exchanging our culture and cuisine. With a recent move (to a most convenient, vibrant location right in Belgrade city centre!), Pavel needed some help with touching up the inside of the new apartment. But the time working on walls and doors went quickly, as it seemed we spent much more time enjoying Russian foods and drinking tea! Aleksandr's apartment, where I was lucky to spend each night, was a direct bus away, 30-60 mins depending on traffic. The shared apartment is warm and cozy, and always full of interesting conversations. I am grateful to this kind family for hosting me and hope I can come back soon!

We had the pleasure of hosting Hannah here with us for most of October. Hannah was everything we could have asked for she loved the quiet of the countryside had a genuine passion for the horses and was totally responsible in every way. She was happy to get stuck into what ever needed doing, She was tidy and respectful and the best part was the animals loved her she will always be welcome back here.

It was wonderful to host Spencer, a visionary with a deep passion for community service. He stayed with us and worked at both our school and clinic.He is so flexible,down -to-earth, and hardworking. At the community school, he participated in activities including construction work ,lifting bricks to help build a classroom.He also supported children to learn English and built their self-esteem at the school's kidz klub, played sports and games with children. At the clinic,he participated in school outreaches and was involved in health education on key topics like nutrition of breastfeeding mothers and sanitation. He also helped with arranging outreaches , report writing,taking field photos,and updating our Instagram. His expertise in computers, writing, website design was a huge help and helped us break through many of our tech limitations as a small organisation. Not forgetting his great sense of humour and excellent interpersonal skills with our staff, children,and the wider community. We truly appreciate his flexibility and humility, and we look forward to working with him again on our long- term goals. He is welcome back!

Ah. Brian and Levinia were fantastic Workaway guests!!. They worked independently and got through a wide range of outdoor tasks — moving plants, cutting back trees, cleaning and tidying the garden, laying a dry hedge, even installing metal bed borders nicely. The difference they have made in our gardens is dramatic! Beyond their skills, they were excellent company, kind, and very easy to have around as well as fabulous cooks. We will welcome them back any time with open arms and big hugs, and if you have the opportunity to host them, our advice would be to jump at the chance!!

Mike has been a reliable, honest, willing and fun person to be around and get help from. We mostly picked olives together for some long days and he was always in good vibes. We also had interesting and funny chats A sweet and reliable person to host I would host him any time again and i suggest that you also do! Bee well friend

Ru - what a pleasure it was to have you here. You are such a sweet soul, we really enjoyed having you here as a part of our team. Ru took all her duties very responsible and all the guests, volunteers, workers enjoyed her positive energy and her smile she was always sharing. We miss you here but we know you will find your way - keep being curious and exploring this beautiful world 🌎 We totally recommend Ru to ever future host - she is a team player and responsible person to have around! Nos vemos en alguien parte del mundo de Nuevo 🥰

For my first Workaway trip, I was looking for a place in wonderful Ireland where I could spend lots of time with animals and be outdoors in nature every day. What I actually experienced with Claire and Joe is truly hard to put into words. - Experiencing a deep connection with the wonderful animals and their unique personalities - A place where you can experience the unique beauty of the Irish countryside every day - Peace and the chance to reconnect with yourself - Wonderful and meaningful conversations with Claire and Joe about horses, Irish culture, horsemanship, and personal topics - Daily time with the animals and the experience of earning their trust - The opportunity to learn so many new things - Riding lessons with Claire that are second to none, along with invaluable tips - time to practice my own horsemanship skills with four-legged teachers - Premium accommodation where you feel at home from the very first moment - Clearly communicated tasks and immediate support whenever you feel unsure You have to see and experience it for yourself; only then might you understand what a wonderful and loving pleace Claire and Joe have created. Thank you for letting me be a part of it this year! See you soon 🇮🇪💚 PS: A tip—rent one of GoCar’s car-sharing cars on your days off. It allowed me to explore some other wonderful places in the west of Ireland.

We hosted Emma for about 2 weeks where she worked on various simple tasks that were required for autumn - making compost, preparing fallen trees for woodchips, collecting donkey poo (also for compost) and many more. She was very easy to host and still has a lot to learn in basic skills, required on a farm, where physical work can be tough.

Lizzie was excellent - competent, organised, proactive, reliable, did the jobs and went looking for the next, followed through. Great member of the group also. Absolutely recommended!!

My stay with Paul and Yvonne was really great ! I learned many things from "composting lasagna", to how to take of donkeys, and a bit of woodchiping. They are very welcoming and clear on the schedule which I really liked. I also had my alone time and they were very helpful for my days off, taking me to the station and home after. Overall a very good experience!
