Felicitas fitted into our sanctuary environment easily with her positive, calm, curious and helpful approach to life. Felicitas worked with Mish propagating 2 plant species in the nursery with wonderful attention to learning and quality work. I really enjoyed how Felicitas naturally cleaned up after projects and was able to work together and independently. Around our home she was thoughtful, willing to help with meals, and an easy conversationalist. We appreciated Felicitas was very kind with our dogs Fred and Ash, with walks & companionship. We highly recommend Felicitas as a mature, kind and thoughtful workawayer. Thanks Felicitas, enjoy the rest of your travelling!

I spent almost two weeks at Kari's lovely house in Narrabeen. Kari's one of a kind and she is so fun to be around. I would recommend people who are interested in a cultural exchange that like living with other people and spending time together. The tradition of the morning swim is something I loved and I also really enjoyed Kari's excellent cooking. Thank you so much for letting me stay and making my first workaway experience a great one!!

I lived a month with Zach, a month I miss already and will never forget. Zach and his dog Kobi are very friendly and calm. I felt so good with the manual jobs I did to balance my time in front of my screen. Wrightwood is a cute town I can just recommend if anybody's looking for peace and nature. Thank's Zach for all these good souvenirs we created

I only stayed there for one week because my plans changed spontaneously. How can I put it? Freyja and Allan are the most incredible human beings I have met so far on my trip! They care so much about ALL BEINGS. The place is a real gem. I felt the peace when I first arrived there. I had the pleasure to sleep in the caravan called ziggy. It was a dream! I woke up with the most amazing view (the goats and the pigs) and a nice sunrise. The work was nice, because it didn't feel like work because I enjoyed it so much. I enjoyed preparing the food for all the cuties. Also, the poo golf was one of my favorite tasks (thanks for the suggestion from another workawayer). I learned a lot about animal care and also some handy work stuff. Communication was always easy, they are both very helpful. And yes, you can ask them everything. I had deep conversations with Freyja, fun moments with Allan, and quality time in general with both of them. Thank you so much for being you, and thank you for making the world a better place. If I don't end up like this, I don't know the purpose of my life.

We spent almost a month at the Ranch and really enjoyed our stay. Although we only got to spend a few days with Devanee and Buddy, because they were going on a trip and invited us to stay there and look after the ranch, we really enjoyed getting to know them, and they were very welcoming and helpful in trying to make our stay as interesting as possible, suggesting places to visit in the area etc. The ranch is surrounded by beautiful mountains, you can go hiking straight out of the house and Mt Robson is just a short car ride away. Of course, what we loved the most was spending time with all the animals. It was a great experience, and we would love to come back in the summertime when they have a lot more activities going on at the ranch.

I stayed with Sam and Clara (and Reilly and Lui) for a week and has a very unique experience with all the good and bad, living in a homestead in the bush. I think it's pretty important to know, that the profile was not updated at the time, so the family is now 2 grown-ups and 2 children (4 and 2 years old in March 2024), and there is already a beautiful, huge house built, so I was working all the time with Sam in the outdoors with different labour work: Gardening, milling wood, moving firewood, digging holes, pouring concrete, feeding chickens and ducks, hunting, clearing pathway, doing dishes and building a new shed. I'm grateful for the new knowledge I got while working with Sam, but be aware that working hours are full days, NOT 4-5 hours, and while I was there it was both morning and afternoons, so the time off was a few hours here and there during the day and after 6pm. Since the family lives in the big house now, I had "The Little House" all for myself with lots of space, shower and everything, so that was amazing, and the other volunteer has another nice caravan for herself.

Natalia y Andreas han cumplido un sueño y han creado un lugar maravilloso. Nuestra acogida fue cálida, amable y respetuosa desde el primer momento. Ambos se desvivieron para que no nos faltara de nada. Y dormimos en una yurta maravillosa con unas vistas preciosas. Una gran experiencia. Y una idea que nos llevaremos con nosotros 😉 . Su duro trabajo es impresionante. Siento un gran respeto por la artesanía de Andreas, que diseñó y construyó las yurtas y todo lo demás él solo. ¡WOW! Y por los dedos verdes de Natalia, su templanza y su buen humor constantes. La ONG apoya la diversidad cultural y la artesanía de la historia de la zona de Isla de Chiloé. Fue un placer trabajar con ustedes en su proyecto. El trabajo se centró en cosechar ajos, plantar ajos y pelar ajos. Nada de vampiros. Fue muy divertido. ¡Y nunca había visto ajos tan grandes 😳! En nuestros días libres, exploramos las islas de Lemuy, Isla de Chiloe, Castro o Natalia nos llevó a un mercado artesanal tradicional donde vendía la deliciosa pasta hecha con el ajo. Fueron 3 semanas maravillosas y volvimos a aprender mucho. Gracias a los dos y por supuesto a Oskar, Dora y los cuatro tigrecitos. Os deseamos que sigáis cosechando éxitos y divirtiéndoos con vuestras iniciativas.

I stayed with David and Hollie for one week. In all my experience was very very good. David gives a lot of freedom in managing the working hours. I did a lot of cleaning and worked in the garden. The property and house are absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious and Hollie is a lovely playmate. David took me to a beautiful beach and to a nice walk. Would highly recommend this place. Thank you for the time.

I had a great week at Donna and experienced a lot. They also took me to visit the town and have afternoon tea together. We also cooked a lot of dishes together. They treated me like a Taiwanese daughter and made me feel completely relaxed and had a great time during my last week in New Zealand!

I was originally staying for 3 months and it turned into 7. During my time there, I have had a crazy amount of fun, I got much fitter and responsible, I enjoyed the calm of the winter so I could spend hours painting and doing hobbies that I love and I appreciated the overall learning experience at such a big level. I have learned to love everybody there, the horses were amazing and Ellen taught me so much that I will never know how to repay her. I met wonderful horse people, got so much hands-on experience and because of it, I have officially figured out that I will spend the rest of my life around horses and nature. It's been truly enlightening and I am coming back again in August 2024 to rejoin the piece of my heart that I left there when I came back home to Québec. Love ya Pritchard people (my fav will still be the Handsome Cowboy Steve ;) ) I miss you❤️

I stayed with Braydon (and his dog at that time) for 3 weeks and had a wonderful experience. It was a bit different, because it was during winter, meaning there were not that many bigger projects to work on, so we were more like housemates sharing duties and doing winter crafts together. To stay with Braydon is a unique experience you cannot buy for money and he is so knowledgeable and kind, sharing what he's got, and we surely had some nice long conversations in the evening by the fireplace. Thank you Braydon for inviting me into your home and sharing your time with me 🧡 And thank you for sharing your lovely community as well. You are always welcome in Scandinavia!

Firstly, I would like to thank Emanuele and Michel. From the very first moment I was warmly welcomed and taken in. As hosts, they are both unbeatable. It actually felt more like a host family than an employer. There was a family atmosphere throughout. I also have the greatest respect for Michel's power, his way of thinking and his seemingly endless ideas. And Emanuele cooked extra vegetarian food for me 🥰 The work is varied and, who would have guessed, revolves around a beautiful old steel ship, on which I also moved into my cabin for three weeks and slept like a baby. To summarise, it was one of my best and most enjoyable workaways of the last 2 years! If you love and enjoy life on the water and working on board, this is the right place for you!

Hannah was also a brilliant tour guide as well, ensuring guests had a rich cultural experience. Hannah is warm and people instantly love her. Hannah, we are incredibly fortunate to have had you on our team, and I look forward to seeing all that you do in the future.

As Guest Services they both handled any telephone requests, set the schedules for the team, prepared the chalet for guests’ arrivals, set up welcome packs, handled orientation of the chalet as well as guest registrations upon arrival, ensured the chalet was snow cleared well for the convenience of the guests, hosted catering dinners, assisted guests with their check outs and more. Both are great assets to the team, very flexible, always available taking on extra tasks on hand and pleasant people to work with. Louis is very thoughtful. No task is too much for Louis. Phoebe is eager to learn, open minded, offering suggestions for improvements. As a couple they are kind, considerate and really lovely together. I would highly recommend both for any hospitality position.

As Guest Services Jan prepared the chalet for guests’ arrivals, set up welcome packs, handled orientation of the chalet as well as guest registrations upon arrival, shuttled guests to the ski slopes, ensured the chalet was snow cleared well for the convenience of the guests, hosted catering dinners, assisted guests with their check outs and more. Jan is great asset to the team. With his car knowledge, he could shuttle our guests around safely, under any weather condition. His customer service skills exceeded hosting our private chef dinners. Jan is a pleasant person to work with, great sense of humor, mature and reliable team member, always available taking on any tasks on hand. I would highly recommend Jan for any hospitality position.
