My time with Simone, her two children and numerous animals was thoroughly enjoyable and enriching! Simone is an impressive woman. In addition to her empathetic nature, she is knowledgeable and generous, which is evident in her interactions with others. Would you like to take a break from the hectic pace of city life? Would you like to share a cosy home and look after some absolutely adorable animals (you'll find half a zoo at Simone‘s place: from dogs and cats to two funny pigs and all the horses, who will be delighted to have your company!)? Come and visit Simone, her family and her four-legged friends (or rather family members – it's amazing what the animals get to enjoy here!)! Dear Simone, Thank you for your time, your patience and the opportunities you offer people here. I look forward to seeing you all again in the future! See you soon

I spent 1 month in El Kelaa teaching English as the first American volunteer the center has had and it was just incredible. (I said goodbye in tears!!) Hassan, Abderrahim, and all the other teachers and staff at the center are so passionate, kind, and supportive, and the students are so lovely and hardworking. Thank you for the amazing memories and for sharing so much beautiful culture with me :)

Daniel was a pleasure to have at our project. He is an amazing worker; kind of like a quiet little elf getting so much accomplished behind the scenes and you don’t even know it’s happening! 😀 Daniel is able-bodied and strong. From our experience he appreciated company, good conversation, family gatherings, and time with other volunteers but also was happy to have time to himself appreciating nature and the mountain around us. Daniel is a very kind, well-rounded, and talented individual who loves to help others. He fit right in with our family, albeit at a very busy time where our energy was devised amongst a lot of things. But he was there to support each of us as we needed him. He put his attentive hospitality skills to work in the kitchen during an event we offered, he helped with multiple tasks on the grounds with our trails, trees, plants and compost. The glass mosaic art project he set up and supported is on was a dream come true! Without his patience, cleverness, creativity and determination we would not have been so successful. It was a joy to be able to repurpose the glass in such a beautiful way. Thank you for teaching us this process and new skill Daniel. We wish you the Best!

Living with Kristy and the boys is not just a cultural exchange; it truly feels like being part of the family every single day and on every occasion. It has been an absolutely perfect first experience, and that is all thanks to Kristy—her availability, organisation, and daily kindness. Life there is always dynamic: every day is different, and weekends, especially with games, can be quite intense, so it is essential to have everything planned in advance. During the week, I usually worked 2/3 mornings per week, which meant waking up early and getting the boys ready for school. They usually get home around 3 pm, so in the meantime I would take care of my own things or help Kristy with household chores or pickups. If you are willing to help even when you are not asked, simply to make things easier, and at the same time experience a true American lifestyle, I believe this is the perfect choice to make. Thanks again to Kristy and her wonderful boys!

Alex and Claire are wonderful people and great hosts! I stayed three weeks with them and five other volunteers, harvesting olives. Claire was organized and clearly communicated details and expectations, which made the stay go smoothly. She also makes an effort to match volunteers into compatible teams - which worked really well. Her and Alex have a lot of knowledge to share about Greek history and culture, which made for a really valuable cultural exchange. Alex is a joy to work with in the fields. The work is physical and can be challenging, but he adapts well to the needs of the team, and our talks over coffee and lunch were the highlight of my stay. Had an absolute blast. Thank you for everything!!

We enjoyed every minute of James’s help, company, energy, conversation, and enthusiasm for life. James was a very good worker and extremely flexible on the tasks we asked him to perform. He really was amazing support in our community work and group building projects we were participating in at the time. He was not afraid to jump in to help even if it meant using a lot of gestures, eye contact and charades to communicate past the language barrier that existed with our Spanish speaking neighbors. He put in a lot of work and effort into power washing for us and we quickly noticed he is happy to say Yes to everything. We shared some really meaningful conversations and he has offered very uplifting and inspiring perspectives on life. We appreciate the time James spent with us!

We had such a wonderful experience staying with Torben and Lotte during the month of October. The work on the farm was both meaningful and enjoyable, the accommodations were stellar, and Torben, Lotte, and Annette were truly a joy to spend time with and learn from. We immediately felt at home here, and we had a hard time leaving this beautiful place! We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our time here, and we could not recommend this workaway experience more.

Roxi es un amor!! Positive, energetic and good friend.. she is an easy person love helping others and very open to connect in any way possible!

Berenika has been here at our place for a little more than 5 weeks, and it has been absolutely fantastic to have her here. So helpful in every way, and with so many skills. Cooking the best meals, taking care of the house, sorted my books, helping in the garden and much much more. It also turned out that Berenika has skills in woodchopping and to take down trees. We took down a 25 m high pinetree together and I could see that using chainsaw, axe and other tools was no problem for her. We have also had many jouful moments, celebrating both hers and my birthday. I will miss you dear Berenika. All the best.

My time with Anne & Moriz was really valuable to me. It was my very first Workaway experience, which I found quite spontaneously, so I was even more grateful that they welcomed me so quickly and easily. I learned a lot in a short amount of time. Together with Valentin and two other Workawayers, we built a really cool stone wall, which I honestly loved doing. Can’t wait to built my own DIY walls some day! 😎 Alongside my laptop work, it was a perfect break to do some manual work and helped me clear my mind. 😋 My absolute highlight was the sweet dog Nelly, who got plenty of cuddle time from me. And of course, I can’t forget Anne’s unbelievably delicious meals! Thank you so much for the great experience and for trusting me!

Oday and Vija were both very chilled. They welcomed me to the hostel family very easy and I kind of went with the flow. I was teaching once sometimes 2 times a day according to the occupation that day. I had always nice room and kitchen access to make my own meal. I recommend the place for any new workaway guys who are lookong for more free time. Thank you!

Tomás stayed with us for almost three weeks and we really enjoyed working with him - and also the occassional card game! He took great care of all our animals - whether it was the horses, our wild boar, the chickens and ducks or our lovely cats. Tomás´ open mind always showed as he is very interested in a variety of topics, always ready to offer a hand and Tomás also got his hands on some tasks around the garden and preparing wood for the oven. Always ready to help, with a friendly smile and a positive attitude. Tomás stayed with us during a time with three other helpers and fit in the team perfectly. We wish you all the best and would welcome you back any time!

Thank you for your kind words. It was really great having you here and sharing this time together. We’re so glad you enjoyed the classes, the students, and life in Istanbul. You brought a lovely energy to the group, and it was a pleasure to work alongside you. You’re always welcome back hope to see you again soon.

It was such amazing experience for being with Jade Recorbet from France at our foundation. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your extraordinary dedication to the less privileged children of Gomba District, Uganda. Your selfless service, teaching children with passion, playing joyfully, showering them with genuine love, cooking, gardening and powerfully supporting our fundraising campaign, has brought light and hope where it was needed most. You have touched countless young lives and strengthened our foundation in ways words can scarcely express. Please keep shining your beautiful light. May the good Lord bless and reward you abundantly for every smile you have given and every heart you have healed. Thanks very much and the door is open for you to come back.

Francoise did everything she could to make me feel at home. Thanks :-)

I stayed for three weeks in this beautiful area with this wonderful family. It was incredibly inspiring to see how they live off-grid in the woods. I stayed in November, so it was quite cold, but there is a gas heater and the cabin is very cozy and comfortable. The food was soooo fresh, healthy, and delicious, which made the experience even better. I loved hiking to the top of the nearby mountain, and I also did a lot of creative things during my stay. It’s a great place to reconnect with myself and be part of a beautiful, warm family. One part of my stay was babysitting, which I really enjoyed. Emil is a true nature lover, and Ayla loves to draw and spend time outside collecting little treasures. Together we made small fairy houses. I’m a photographer, so I also took some family photos on the beach. I loved being able to bring my profession into this experience, and I would love to do this again with future Workaways. Another part of my stay was painting murals. I painted two murals in the children’s bedrooms. It was a very special and inspiring experience that I will always remember. One day I will come back 🤍

Alwin stayed with us for three weeks and was a great help. He is thoughtful and hardworking and always willing to offer help, even after he had already done his work, which was mostly chopping and stacking wood. He did a great job restacking our tower of Pisa woodpile and then filling the shed beautifully. He also helped with fixing a garden bed and various other tasks. He fit in seamlessly with our various social events and it was lovely to hear him sneak in some time playing the piano. He was very considerate but had a growth mindset and worked on things until he got them right - as with his piano piece and the strudel he made us twice and which was heavenly the second time. He is likely a very skilled carpenter, though we did not get to put those skills to use at the time. He would be an asset and a pleasant companion to anyone

I stayed with Holly for a few days and had such a lovely time. Thanks to the Christmas party she threw for her friends, I even got into the festive spirit! Her two dachshunds are absolutely adorable — especially when they’re caught doing exactly what they shouldn’t be doing. During my short stay, I mostly helped with house cleaning and some work on the outdoor deck. I felt comfortable the whole time and wished I could have stayed longer. Holly is a fantastic host — highly recommended! Thank you for everything, and hopefully see you again very soon! 🎄🐾

Gracias a ustedes por ser un gran aporte a nuestro proyecto. Las chicas son muy trabajadoras, comprometidas, independientes y atentas, además de alegres y risueñas. Nos encantó conocerles y esperamos que tengan un hermoso e increíble viaje. Vuelvan pronto ✨️🌳😊

We had an incredible 4 weeks with Irakli, Sali and Lily, harvesting, cultivating and planting and getting ready for winter. We learned so much about organic farming, experienced rural village life, and ate the most incredible Georgian food. We will be back in the future guys 🙏❤️‍🩹
