I absolutely loved hosting Saby! She took care of my 18-year-old cat, Luka, and my apartment in NYC while I was traveling in Mexico for a week. Luka is very old, weak, and fragile, but Saby was incredibly sweet and attentive with him. She went above and beyond, trying different types of food to encourage his appetite. Even after I returned, Saby

We explored the city together, watched movies, and had great conversations—I truly feel like I gained a friend. She's welcome back anytime, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to other hosts!
This was my first workaway experience and I am so glad it was with Aluxe and luca.
Aluxe had exceptional music taste which I was so suprised of! He is also an incredibly conversational and open minded person, respectful and had a good sense of humor, always in a happy mood.

He took me to see some cool places like brooklyn bridge and some beautiful cafes and was so kind to take pictures of me which where so good. Im so my glad we became good friends and can't wait to visit him again !!!

It was such a great experience hosting Brennin. She is super responsible, clean, and just a wonderful person all around. She really helped me take care of my 17-year-old cat. I think she is a cat whisperer because my cat seems to have dementia and almost always meows at night, which can be a challenge since he wakes everyone up at around 4 AM. But

Brennin is also an amazing human being: very caring, self-aware, fun, super social and friendly. I really enjoyed all the conversations I had with her and learning about her super cool life in Brussels and travel plans. We also did some sightseeing together in New York, which was very nice. I highly recommend Brennin to the best hosts, and she is always welcome back to my place!

I had a very nice week staying at Rodrigo’s place. Rodrigo is such a sweet and kind-hearted person! He made me feel so welcome, and we had a blast doing fun things together. I can't wait to come back and visit again. I've truly gained a friend!😊Btw his cat Luka is the cutest, not grumpy at all! Thanks, Rodrigo!

Magda is an exceptional workaway guest and an even more amazing person. I had the pleasure of hosting her for five nights in my NYC apartment, and it was a fantastic experience. From the moment she arrived, I knew that she was a kind and warm-hearted person and that I would have a great experience hosting her.
She is a incredible traveler who has

Her stories about her travels to Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Cape Town, Morocco, Australia, and many other places were fascinating. She also shared many wonderful stories about her friend Marina, who sounds like an amazing person too.
During her stay, Magda helped me take care of my two cats, and she was very responsible, and did an amazing job taking care of them.
Magda is a super friendly, warm, curious, kind, funny and interesting person all around and I highly recommend her to other hosts. I feel that I made a great friend just from the few days that I hosted her. I wish she had stayed longer because I enjoyed her company so much and missed her the moment she left.
Thank you, Magda, for being so amazing and hope you will be back soon and maybe we can also meet again somewhere interesting in the world. Definitely go with the flow, and collecting more amazing stories and maybe I will also see you at the comunidade ✨
I stayed a few days with Rodrigo and had such a great and unforgettable time in NY.
Rodrigo is such an easy going, kind, helpful and funny person.
Everything was how expected, I helped him in the morning with the cats a bit -which is no effort at all and I had always the rest of the day time to explore NY city.
Also the apartment is in a very

I‘m glad to met you on my journey and hope to see you one day again somewhere in there world (maybe in the Community:))
Thanks for the interesting conversations and all the story’s we shared!
Go with the flow, enjoy life and thanks for open me your apartment in NY Rodrigo!

I cannot recommend Julia highly enough! She stayed at my apartment in NYC for a week and helped me take care of my two cats. Julia was an absolute joy to host, as she is incredibly responsible, warm, friendly, funny and very intelligent. She attended to her duties with great care every day, and my cats seemed to really like her as they slept on

But Julia's positive qualities go far beyond her pet-sitting skills. We had the most amazing conversations every day, ranging from politics to AI to quantum physics. I was blown away by her knowledge and insight, even though she is quite young. She has a real passion for learning and exploring new ideas, and it was an absolute pleasure to learn from her.
Overall, Julia is an exceptional person who would be an asset to any host. She is kind, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to be around. I can't recommend her highly enough and would welcome her back to NYC anytime!

I stayed with Rodrigo and his two sweet cats (of whom one is a grumpy and one a sweetie but they are both super cute) for a whole week. And honestly? It was amazing.
Even though Rodrigo was a bit sick in the beginning he welcomed me super warmly into his home, showed me where I would sleep and quickly explained the tasks I should do, which, even

His flat is only a minute away from the metro and in a safe area close to a trader Joe’s and a variety of takeouts which makes it extremely easy to get whatever food you would want and then explore the city, which was what I usually did during the day. Normally I would wake up very early, make myself some breakfast, go for a run and come back when Rodrigo was getting ready for his work. In the evening we always had incredibly interesting discussions about a wide variety of topics starting with AI, politics or philosophy and ending up at the horribleness of Bananas. 😂 We even went out and got delicious dumplings once and Rodrigo helped me with everything I could have ever asked for.
In conclusion:
This was my first Workaway experience and it was incredible. I wish I would have stayed longer since there are way to many things we didn’t get to discuss/ do and it was super fun being in New York and getting to hang out with someone es awesome as Rodrigo. He is the guy you want to be friends with, the one who has been to the coolest things and has a million stories to tell.
I can’t wait to come back and visit again!!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I loved hosting Laurie for about a week in my NYC apartment! She was really helpful in taking care of my two senior cats and also keeping the apartment clean. She is very clean, tidy, very considerate and really well organized and responsible and took care of all her cat and household chores perfectly. She is also a very well traveled and super

Rodrigo is such a joy! I absolutely loved getting to know all about him. He himself has taken advantage of so much of the culture New York has to offer (parties in Bushwick, music in the park) and has so much to offer as a host. Amazing stories, really great musicianship, and an overall incredible attitude; he is definitely one of my favorite

The work was super easy and highly flexible and the cats are totally darling. One of them is a little bit shy, but once they get to know you they're warm and social and add greatly to the welcoming atmosphere of Rodrigo's home.
Rodrigo is an incredible host and a very kind soul. Talk to him every chance you get, he's an absolute gem!
Thank you so much for an incredible stay :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

It was a pleasure hosting Sammy for about 9 days. She was the perfect guest and was really attentive and great with all the chores she had to help take care of my two cats. Sammy is really smart, interesting, curious, unique, open minded, and very well read with a lot of knowledge and interesting perspectives to share so I had some great
… read more conversations with her. I could tell from the moment I met her she comes from a loving family since she is very well grounded, self aware, respectful and with a kind demeanor. I was also very impressed with her pretty cool music taste though I have to give some credit to her parents and some of her friends for that :) She also has a great singing voice so I hope she explore that talent more. Definitely host Sammy if you have the chance, she is awesome!Experience small community living in the heart of Talkeetna, Alaska, USA
