Left by host for Workawayer (Swati)
Swati was such a wonderful guest and helper in our home, we truly couldn't have asked for a better workawayer. She went above and beyond with her duties, was always keen to help and was very tidy. She treated our home with utmost respect and was keen to act as part of our family, which we loved. She worked wonderfully with our 3 year old and

It was really hard to say good-bye to her but I'm sure we'll stay in touch. As you can tell, I recommend her %1000 :) Best of luck, Swati, and again, thanks so much for all your help and playful, loving kindness toward Winnie!

Casey and her whole family was so amazing ! I felt very welcome and appreciated for the work I did. When I needed a place to stay for a few nights after I left for a week, they offered me a place to stay. I feel just so grateful 🙏
Her little girl is very sweet and she always has such an imagination, you'll never get bored when you're with her. I

I stayed in the same floor as another "workaway" girl from Japan and the grandfather and they were both so kind ! I'm so grateful that they often offered me to do some activities with them !

I had a lovely time staying with Ross, helping out with cooking and cleaning. It was eight days of feeling comfortable, welcome, and respected - a sort of healing period after not feeling those things with a previous host. I was very grateful Ross and his family needed a last-minute helper, as I also needed a last-minute host. Ross had many

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Casey, Luke, and the kiddo, and their extended family as well! Lovely people all around. So thankful this unexpected home-stay was a part of my working holiday.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
Left by host for Workawayer (Paula)
We loved having Paula stay with us. She was lovely to have around, very sociable, cheerful and helpful. It was great hearing about Denmark and comparing cultures. Paula was great with our 3 year old, very energetic and playful (especially the fishing game - haha) and handled her emotional ups and downs like a pro, my daughter was always asking

Loved my time spent here! I felt welcomed immediately and right at home. I had a great time watching Casey and Luke's daughter. We played with play dough, danced to the Wiggles and took lots of walks to see the ducks. I also enjoyed getting to know the extended family and learning how to play a new card game. Everyone was super helpful in helping

We absolutely loved having Christine stay with us. She was very tidy and responsible. She was flexible and happy to help with whatever was needed. She has a very positive attitude and interesting life experience, which made her a great guest. And most importantly, my 2 year old got on really well with her. We would highly recommend Christine for

We couldn't have asked for a better workawayer. Julia was incredibly tidy and organized and seemed to have a knack for finding ways to be helpful even when she wasn't asked. She is very easy to chat and communicate with and got on well with everyone in the house, even my 2-year-old! She was wonderful with looking after our daughter and cooked us

It was such a beautiful experience with this family! Being surrounded by people who have travelled endless miles themselves and can relate to the emotions, the obstacles that come along is like a warm shower after a long day.
I had the pleasure of spending 18 days with this family through another host! I absolutely enjoyed the thought-provoking

As I was quandary when it came to planning my trip, everyone helped out by simply listening, giving me some helpful insider tips and reassuring me constantly that it will all eventually work out. Whenever I had an appointment or had to go to places, Ross was always a gentleman, offering a drop-off and even insisting on helping out wherever he possibly could! All in all, I am so grateful for this time, these memories, for the trust and the warmth embraced!
This is a long-winded way of saying: It was a beautiful experience :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
