This was the place we chose for our very first volunteering experience. As we believe the universe has its plans for us, we trusted the process, and among all the options on Workaway, this one caught our attention. It was November 2022—we know we’re late with our feedback!
Dimitri and I were quite nervous about this first step, as volunteering
… read more was something completely new to us. However, from the very first day, they made us feel like part of the family. We spent almost a month there and learned so much: a bit of permaculture, general property maintenance, gathering and cutting wood for the next winter, weeding, and above all, experiencing a sense of community.
We had so much fun with everyone and had the incredible opportunity to visit a place filled with breathtaking landscapes.
All the moments we spent together remain in our hearts. thank you so much. WE MISS YOU ALL
We are so pleased Dimitri and Mariana chose us as their first Workaway experience. We absolutely loved these guys and are so sad to see them go. As remote area Tasmanians we have a lot of wood to process, and Mariana and Dimitri worked hard and with precision. Everything they did was so beautifully presented.

Mariana extended this initiative to cleaning the house. There was lots of fun cooking, music and dancing, and both Mariana and Dimitri slotted so well into our greater community with their lovely people skills and zeal to give and share culture. We're so grateful, and have no doubt they will enrich other people's lives as much as they did ours.

We loved having Sumika. She was an absolute delight to have stay. So respectful and kind, and very capable and insightful. She helped us with a monster thistle weeding task which we completed in preparation for making thistle tea for the gardens next year. It was so good to get this done. We are very grateful.

It was truly wonderful to be able to visit this family for the last time during my trip to Australia.
During my stay in Lorinna, I learned firsthand about living harmoniously with nature. In a short period, we weeded around the house and prepared herbal tea from the garden. It was fulfilling to contribute to planting native trees.
I enjoyed

It's a place where anyone interested in peace, sustainable living, health, spirituality, and education should visit. Both of them generously shared their knowledge about anything I was interested in. They also taught me about Earth communities in Japan, which holds great significance for me.
Thank you for preparing delicious meals every day. It sparked my interest in learning more about Indonesian cuisine. I would be happy to visit again someday and help with community activities.
I hope Lorinna continues to host wonderful Workawayers with diverse knowledge, skills, and ideas. I'm grateful for all their kindness.
I also want to add that the way they taught me to love nature and neighbors is something that can be practiced even in Japan, across the sea. I want to implement it from small things.

Carmen was such a wise and intuitive person to have help. She wound these beautiful qualities into everyday life and work around the property. Everything Carmen put her hand to was superior quality. It was such a pleasure to have her stay.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Franka)
Franka came to us with a fabulous skillset which she not only blessed our property with but eagerly shared with the wider community. If you are looking for superior skills in landscape architecture, events coordinating or workshopping, Franka is the person for you. We wish this family all the very best in their future journeying.

We loved having Charlene stay. She was very self-contained and capable, and slotted into family life with ease. We definitely would recommend her to other hosts and wish her all the best in her travels.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Christine)
Christine was fantastic to have around - perfect timing even! As we set up for our eco rental, Christine cleaned and scrubbed with awesome detail! The house is shinning. Christine was fabulous in the garden too - and didn't mind wetter days (even when we urged indoor work on those days)! The kids enjoyed Christine. She gave them a lot of informed

Sam and Brandon came to stay with us bearing a wealth of wonderful skills which they happily shared. This included helping to prepare a site for a rewilding workshop, and running it!!

Sungjae was wonderful to have stay. He was very helpful and showed great initiative. We absolutely loved his unexpected moments in our kitchen when we got to be the beneficiaries of a sushi garden - almost too beautiful to eat; a sauerkraut/kimchi fusion - yum; and lots of lovely loaves from our wood oven.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ivan)
Ivan came into our lives at the perfect time with his wonderful skill set - to the benefit of not just us but our whole community. As promotions officer of his own theatre company, The Amateurs', he was able to offer us website building in exchange for accommodation and meals. This was the result: www.earthynest.net. We are very happy with it.

Another spin off from The Amateurs was Ivan's Somatic workshops. Ivan works with body consciousness to enhance the performance of his troupe on stage. He offered these same workshops to our community of lay people with deeply moving outcomes, plus provided individual sessions. We are all much more embodied!
At a more day to day level, we very much appreciate Ivan's help in the kitchen and his delicious Spanish omelette. The kids from our community also reaped some enrichment from Ivan's stay when he show cased Barcelona in a cultural morning for our homeschoolers.
We are very grateful for the connection we have established with Ivan and look forward to his return some day. We hope Ivan's travels bring him the same social and cultural nourishment he has given us.

It's not easy to find words to describe my experience with Liana, Asep, and their wonderful kids. They are some of the kindest, most loving and generous people I have ever met.

I enjoyed every minute of their company, every healthy and nourishing meal they prepared, every conversation we had. I enjoyed helping Liana to set some of the foundations for her wonderful project which I hope will make a difference to all those who have the chance to participate of it. And most important, I learned a lot from them about how to live a life that is respectful and caring for other people, Nature, and the environment.
Thanks for these days. I am very certain that we will meet again in Tasmania, West Java, Europe, or somewhere else. Looking forward to it.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We can only highly recommend Hyeyoung and Eunsuh. Hyeyoung was like my shadow - so intuitively on board for us 24/7. Such amazing work ethic too - far exceeding our expectations. Both mother and daughter were wonderful company - very engaged in family life and the greater community. They slotted into our world with gracious ease. It was wonderful

She was a wealth of knowledge - pointing out edible weeds we didn't know we had (and we are committed weed eaters) and turning them into tasty treats (including weedy kim chi - so good for me! This stuff would blow Formidable Vegetables minds). This dear family are eternally welcome in our home. We so look forward to their return.

Some places give people a deep inspiration of life. This was the place for me.

Also, all the people I met there were really nice. They were all kind and friendly to me and my daughter.
Liana, thank you for having me like yours. Acep, I was really grateful that you took me to that far airpor. Thank you for warming us.
Meca, thanks for your patience with Eunsuh getting into the room from time to time without notice
Ta'ala, thank you for taking care of us Eunsuh with patience.

Mette, and her brother Anders came to stay with us for three weeks, and were fabulous. We can highly recommend them to other Workaway hosts.

These guys

They are playful and fun - our kids loved them, and they were great teachers - the kids enthusiastically lapped up as much as they could about Denmark, where Mette and Anders come from. I would absolutely recommend giving Mette free range in the kitchen - she whips up the yummiest gourmet food - a treat every time :). We were all (including the neighbours) sad to see Mette and Anders go and are looking forward to their return (the neighbourhood is expecting us to share them next time). Have fun enriching the lives of other hosts guys. All the Best xx

My brother and I spent three weeks with this beautiful family. Time went by too fast, and we were sad to leave!

We mainly did wood-work, meaning we collected

I also had the pleasure of full access to kitchen and pantry, so I cooked and baked a lot too, sometimes with the children.
All in all, a great stay, and we hope to come back :) We miss you! Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
