I first got to know Mattwhere I was already a workaway, during the following weeks I started to hang out with him and the rest of the team. Which was amazing, even though I wasn't his volunteer I was invited along to pool parties, meals and trips in to the local town, because Matt is such a nice guy. Matt gave me the opportunity to workaway with… read more

I met Sam the river beach where be was already a volunteer. He helped our team with the clientes as they came in. He became part of our team well before he came to volunteer with me. The late nights helped bring him closer to volunteering with me. Finally an oppertunity came for him to volunteer ...He was excellent help and great company. It would… read more

MATT! what to say! he was a great host and I was able to have a lot of wonderful conversations with him. From day one he is supportive, light, talkative and a great person to be around. He included us in his life, always made sure we were having fun and wanted us to explore the area. What more can you ask for? Dinners were fun and communal and… read more

I had a wonderful experience thanks to Matt. He's a great host! He really cares about all volunteers. I highly recommend this workaway :)
I really enjoyed working with him in the mornings surrounded by such sights! The peace and quiet is a plus. The working hours are totally fair!
I would do this again without a doubt.

In all tasks he was highly motivated and willing with a positive attitude.
What singles him out was his desire to bond with canoeists and form a relationship with them. He saw their experience through from start to finish, the canoeists appreciated this. Many of them had special… read more

Hey Matt!!!
Working there was a pleasure more than a work, Matt is always doing something and includ the volunteers in everything; also he is a great cook (and since he eats the same, the food is very good).
Most of the job is driving jeeps and waiting (so you can have a swim), and he never ask you to do something he doesnt do.
Hope to see you… read more

I spent an amazing week with Matt in his beautiful home. Advice to any future volunteers- stay longer than a week!!!
