Vom Workawayer (Noam) für Host
Zac was a wonderful host.
The area was beautiful and the food was great. Super close to Glacier national park. You can even bike there if you don't have a car and take free shuttles to get around the park.
I enjoyed getting to know him and his girlfriend Shawn.
The experience was a 10/10 and I would highly recommend.
Zac, thanks for the memories

Kellen and Rob are absolute workaway all stars.

Bowie is also very well behaved and a pleasure to have around. I feel like I could go on and on but I'll just conclude by saying 10/10 recommend, you cannot go wrong with these guys!

In our short time working together I found her to be extremely courteous and polite, very thoughtful, hard working, and dedicated. Though she is quite young she has lots of practical knowledge and life experience that make her a very capable and valuable workawayer. I absolutely recommend her to any prospective hosts, and I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. Thank you Heather!

Darian and Alexa came to help out at the beginning of my 2021 season, and I can't imagine a better pair of workawayers.

They also meshed well with all the other people and personalities they encountered during a fairly busy time. They're very easy going and fun to get to know and be around, and they have excellent skills for communal living. I quickly found I could trust them to take care of themselves and I appreciated their independent spirit. Overall it was a great experience, I'd absolutely recommend each of them individually or both as a couple, and I' love to have them back any time- thanks Darian and Alexa!

I hosted Mikal for about a month in the busiest part of the summer and it was a great experience. He really took to the place, and it was a pleasure to see him thrive to a degree that I think I've seldom witnessed among the many workawayers I've hosted over the years.

All in all, Mikal is driven, curious, and quite worldly despite his relative youth, all attributes that I think exemplify the spirit of workaway, so I certainly recommend him to any potential hosts. I wish him the best in his continuing journey and I know that with the right mindset the sky is the limit for him. Thanks Mikal!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Aldrich)
I had a great time hosting Aldrich for a couple weeks at the tail end of my 2021 season.

I appreciated his openness, friendly demeanor, and easy going nature. The highlight of the experience for me was connecting with a fellow workaway host with a similar (if more extensive and impressive) resume and trajectory as a small time lodging and tourism entrepreneur. It was certainly a fruitful encounter and I absolutely recommend hosting him if you have the chance. Thanks Aldrich!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Cullen)
As a fairly active host for the last four years, I've hosted dozens of workawayers, and so I can confidently say that Cullen is absolutely in the top tier, among the very best I've had the pleasure of hosting. He brings with him just about every positive attribute you might hope for: highly skilled and competent, confident and self driven, mature,
… read more polite, conscientious, intelligent, funny, good conversationalist, independent, and on and on.
He stayed with me for about two months, so this is not a superficial impression but truth borne from the experience of working together for a significant portion of the summer season. He helped me construct a deck, an outdoor kitchen, helped with felling trees and clearing brush, assisted with electrical and plumbing projects, helped with gardening, and helped with housekeeping my lodging units. He was also always willing to help as needed with food prep, dishwashing, tidying, and other general communal living tasks. He was able to take care of himself for his own adventuring and entertainment but was also equally game for group recreation and was always a blast to have along.
This is all simply to say that I cannot recommend Cullen highly enough as a workawayer, for all the reasons listed above as well as many others I'm sure I missed. I'm very grateful that in a pandemic year where I hosted significantly fewer people than in years past, that Cullen was one of them. He was definitely the standout and I can't see how the season could have been the success that it was without his crucial help. Thanks for everything Cullen, good luck and hope to see you again sometime!

We got a lot of good work done inside and out, including working on the beginnings of a living roof, setting pavers for an outdoor kitchen, installing insulation and weatherproofing a house exterior, not to mention a semi-successful foray into some dubious DIY electrical engineering. He's also the type that jumps right in to help out with the little things like tidying up and doing dishes which really counts for a lot.

I had an amazing time staying with Zac! He’s a great guy and really made me feel really welcome at his place.

Obviously it goes without saying that being so close to Glacier National Park is a massive bonus and Zac was really mindful of making sure I could experience it while I was there. We went on a couple of great walks together and when he was out of town on work, Zac left a full fridge of groceries and put me in touch with friends who were keen to go and explore more.
All in all I had a blast hanging out with Zac and his mates, and even came back a couple of months later to say hi. He’s a fun guy with a great sense of humour and is always good for a chat. I would thoroughly recommend a stay.

I really enjoyed getting to know him and hanging out over a beer after a productive day. In fact my only regret is that I didn't have more free time to get out and explore Glacier with him while he was here. I am glad though to have forged a friendship which saw him return for a visit just a few months out from his stay. I can't recommend him highly enough should he seek out more opportunities through workaway in the future. Whatever the case, I wish him the best of luck and hope to see him again someday- thanks for everything Owen!

Vibes don't lie, and Zac has some of the best vibes I've ever encountered. What was originally supposed to be a three week stay was extended to a total of seven weeks; the combination of Glacier National Park, Zac's property, and Zac himself was just too good to leave.

I wasn't especially familiar with using power tools and such before working with Zac, but he was an excellent teacher and always offered to help me learn about anything I was interested in. He even taught me how to change the oil on my car! If you are truly not interested in the physically demanding work, there are plenty of lighter tasks around the property such as cooking, cleaning, and gardening. Zac is an intensely ambitious person, so there's always some side project going on (or four). I think Marcus said it best when he said Zac gives new meaning to work hard, play hard. Off days were filled with hiking, rafting, thrift shopping, and so much more with Zac and his wonderfully hilarious friends. Given Zac's long history with the park, he has all the intel on the best hikes in the area, which I was incredibly thankful for.
Overall, Zac's best quality as a Workaway host is that he wants everyone to be comfortable and have a good time. During my stay, Zac was highly collaborative regarding what tasks I was interested in working on, when I wanted to be working versus hiking, what foods he should stock in the fridge, etc. I am profoundly grateful for the time I spent in Glacier with Zac and the friendship that has developed between us.

We got so much more done than I expected, all thanks to Jake. After a summer of setbacks and delays my motivation was lagging and Jake was usually leading the charge on the build.

It was an amazing experience for me and I'll always remember it. I'm looking forward to see the house finished. I wish him all the best and i have no doubt I will see him again someday. Good luck my friend !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I hosted Ben for a little over month, and he was just great! The conditions were not always easy, as it was quite cold and snowy here in Montana during his stay, but despite that he maintained a great attitude even when working out in the elements. He has an interest in and a knack for manual tasks, and was a great help in getting my project

He was also just a lot of fun to get to know and hang out with. On top of everything, I was nearly incapacitated by injury for pretty much the entirety of his stay, and Ben and another workawayer saw through all my closing season duties, and he was the last to leave and made sure everything was done before he was done. He was really a life-saver and I'm so thankful he was around. I wish him good luck and hope to see him again someday!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ro)
I had an excellent experience hosting Ro for nearly a month. She worked with me and another workawayer at the end (or really past the end) of the season here in Montana and she was just great. Very flexible and adaptable, I don't recall her ever complaining or really even being in a sour mood, despite the cold, despite the relative lack of a

She's got a good attitude that I know will serve her well, but beyond that, she was a great worker. Picked up quickly on new tasks, was always looking ahead for what else needed to be done, and was awesome about helping out or taking charge with the typical communal living sort of tasks like cooking and cleaning. Not to mention she's just a fun, smart person who's a pleasure to hang with. On top of it all, two days into her stay I sustained an injury which required surgery, so she literally was my right hand woman. She was so helpful with everything and I'm so grateful she was around! Thanks again Ro, good luck and hope to see you again soon!

I stayed with Zac for just about a month and absolutely loved my time there.

Dan and his friend Drew were an absolute blast to host.

Such a fun, awesome, easy going and genuine guy Zac is! We had an absolute blast getting to know Zac and helping him on the house.

Vom Host für Workawayer (George)
George was a great pleasure to host, work with, and just have around and hang out with. He's got a great sense of humor and a positive attitude, not to mention an excellent work ethic. His experience on construction sites came in very handy on my home building project, where I felt I could trust him and not be constantly looking over his shoulder.

I stayed for 3 weeks and loved it all, the outdoor shower was second to none on a hot day, the kitchen and deck and general outdoor living made for a really great communal space and being situated right next to the park meant for a goldmine of amazing hikes and wildlife spotting opportunities.

I had so much fun hosting Zvonimir (Johnny) and Marija!

Zac gives new meaning to work hard play hard! The work was tough and dirty but the beer was cold and plentiful.

What can I say about Marcus? It was nothing short of amazing having him contact me out of the blue and show up right on time a week later.

But aside from being a great volunteer he was really just good company and great to have around. We had a lot of fun cooking, hanging out, and having a few beers when the work day was done. He really became part of the fabric of the social world here in his short time in the area, and I and the whole Glacier family would love to have him back around any time. Best of luck with your future endeavors Marcus, thanks again for everything!
