Antonio was super nice and he is organised which we loved. He is always willing to help and did every task we asked of him very well. He is very positive and easy to have a conversation with.
We all liked him very much (me and my husband), the kids, the dogs and the cats and the other two workaway travelers that stayed with us while he was

We can't wait to see him again 🥰♥️ We recommend him to everyone!!! Thank you for everything Antonio 🎄♥️
I was fortunate enough to experience 23 days of volunteering in Iceland, which far exceeded my expectations. I was welcomed by an extraordinary family: Mom Gígja and Dad Ásgeir are wonderful, warm, and attentive people, who made me feel at home from day one. The presence of their four dogs and two cats made everything even more special.
The daily

Gígja and Ásgeir were extremely available to teach me new things, share their culture with me, and make every moment meaningful. We also did several activities together that I will remember fondly: we swam in a pool with relaxing saunas and went on a crazy ATV ride, experiences that made everything even more fantastic and fun.
Even though my English wasn't perfect, our connection was natural, spontaneous, and beautiful, like that of the best families. During these 23 days, I felt like a son, welcomed with sincere and selfless affection. Over time, a wonderful friendship was born, deep and authentic, which I will always cherish.
I recommend this volunteering experience to anyone who desires something authentic, human, and enriching. I will forever cherish the memory of Gígja, Ásgeir, and their wonderful family.
And, of course, I look forward to welcoming them back to my home, hoping to be able to reciprocate at least in part all the kindness and affection they have given me.
A simply unforgettable experience!

I felt very welcome from the very first moment. They made sure that i'm feeling comfortable and can enjoy the stay. Everything went super smoothly, and the whole experience was really wonderful.
The private space was great, and I really enjoyed the cultural exchange — sharing food, stories, and daily life together.
