I stayed 3 weeks here and had a good time. I would go every morning to the school to teach English and in the afternoon teach guitar to the kids. It's a really good way to improve your Spanish. I enjoyed meeting the other volunteers and get to do stuff together with them. Jennifer is a lovely hardworking person who is always open to help you.

Hi, I’m Leonie and I spent two weeks with Giorgio along with my dog Alma. Giorgio wrote to me and invited me to his home. His property is huge and includes many fruit trees. The work was mostly the same each day, but manageable. He was very kind and provided us with three meals a day, cooking fresh vegetables every evening. Our dogs needed a few days to get used to each other, but after that, they got along quite well and would occasionally play together. On my first day of work, Mount Etna erupted – which was clearly visible from his house. That was truly spectacular. 🌋 After work, there was plenty of time for personal activities, like hiking on Etna, visiting Taormina, going to the beach, or taking a trip to the Alcantara Gorge. Unfortunately, I got bitten a lot by mosquitoes – so for anyone planning to visit him too, make sure to bring good mosquito spray and preferably long clothing. 😅 All in all, I really enjoyed the two weeks, and the exchange with the other two Workawayers was something special. ☺️🤗

Notre expérience avec Zoé a été formidable! Elle est avenante, très sympathique et a envie de faire du mieux qu'elle peut. Elle aime apprendre et prend soin de tout travail qui lui est confié. Elle s'est occupée des animaux, de la maison, du nettoyage, jardin et m'a beaucoup aidé dans toutes les tâches quotidienne. Elle est intéressée par de nombreux domaines et c'est très agréable de parler avec elle. Elle a montré un caractère responsable, a un beau sens de l'humour. Nous avons un très bon contact avec elle, tant mes enfants, que mon mari et moi. Merci Zoé, et bonne chance pour tout.

I had a fantastic time with Laura and Arnaud. They are the sweetest couple, always full of energy, happy and having a good laugh. They were hard workers, pro active and enthousiastic about the chores! Arnaud made a beautiful flower garden in front of our house and organized the vegetable garden. Laura was helping so much with this project too. They cared for the animals and my dogs absolitely loved them (same for the cats). Ready to cook, clean or do whatever was needed, I could count on them and leave the house for 3 weeks. Thank you so much both of you! I recommend them warmly to any future hosts!

We had the pleasure of hosting Matteo at our snorkeling company and he was FANTASTIC. Our guests loved his enthusiasm and fun personality. Matteo is hardworking, responsible, and takes pride in his work. He was a clean and respectful housemate with the other volunteers. I highly recommend Matteo to other hosts if you are fortunate enough to have him!

I absolutely LOVED my time with Joha! She communicated very promptly and made the whole process easeful. As soon as we met, she greeted me with a hug & I immediately felt part of the family. The work was simple, walking her smaller dog, household chores and helping her prepare for her rafting trips. She provided not just all of the meals, but a true authentic Costa Rican experience! She made home made empanadas, chalupas and other dishes. I was also introduced to her friends/neighbors & almost everyone else in town, as she is very friendly and well known (: My time here flew by & I honestly didn’t want it to end. I know I’ll be back!! Thank you!!

I am beyond grateful for the myriad of wonderful experiences at Taman Resort. I spent just under three months there and would describe my journey as no less than life changing. I had the opportunity to teach yoga to resort guests, offer Zenthai Shiatsu massage to the staff, as well as design the visual identity and website for the resort’s new sub brand. This was probably one of the most aligned and resonant experiences I’ve ever had and what I believe Workaway is truly about — offering your genuine strengths and skills in exchange for your survival needs to be met.       And my needs were more than met, mostly in gratitude to Nelly, the exceptional volunteer coordinator, who strived to create the best possible experience for me and the rest of the volunteers. Her communication and ability to adapt was so beautiful to witness, I feel we both learned so much from each other.       The resort itself is absolutely majestic, with nature and views that you just cannot get tired of. The staff became my family — their unconditional generosity and compassion was there from the moment I arrived until my last day. Nelly has a knack for magnetising just the right group of volunteers, and it was incredible to witness the energy and “chapters” that unfolded across the months I was there.       To have been able to teach yoga in an amphitheatre, eat an almost unending amount of delicious local foods everyday, deepen my craft in design, gift massage and learn so much in the realm of conscious boundary setting and communication — I truly couldn’t have asked for better. Anyone considering this opportunity, don’t doubt it — magic awaits you 💜

Thank you so much for the lovely days. The time I spent at Iapoco and Olga's home was truly special and became a wonderful memory for me. Everyone in Iapoco family was so warm and welcoming. I even had some nice little chats with his father Tullio(He is soooo warm hearts😭♡) and Iapoco's sister was kindly invited to join them for meals💕 When wine clients came to visit, I had the chance to join the gatherings after work, which was such a nice experience. The vineyard is absolutely beautiful, and I feel really grateful to have worked there and learned so many new things. Being surrounded by sweet cats and dogs, and watching the grapes grow day by day, made my time there truly unforgettable. I definitely come back Grezzana again, Grazie mille!!!

I had a fantastic experience with Max. The work was hard but Max took great care to make sure I had lots of food and rest when I needed it. We also did lots of great excursions on the weekends. Overall I really enjoyed staying with Max, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an experience of the Kazakh countryside with great people.

I spent an unforgettable month working here 🏠, and my heart is overflowing with love for all the incredible people I had the chance to meet. Sharing this experience with such special souls has truly been a gift. Time in Samos flew by as each day was filled with working alongside the kids, laughing together, and co-creating a space that genuinely feels like home. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone interested in International Relations, sociology, or education — come witness the magic of dedicating love and effort to shaping the world of tomorrow! I am eternally grateful for this chance. May you continue your amazing job.🌀🌎

Storm and Kate stayed with us for around two weeks, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better guests. They were absolutely amazing—kind, thoughtful, and full of positive energy. From the moment they arrived, they brought so much creativity and joy into our home. They came prepared with fun and engaging games, and connected with our kids in such a natural, playful way. The children had an incredible time with them—there was so much laughter and genuine joy every day. Not only were they wonderful with the kids, but they also went above and beyond around the house. Without us even asking, they took initiative to help with daily tasks—cleaning, tidying, folding laundry, and keeping our space beautifully cared for. Their helpfulness and attentiveness made a big difference for us, and it was all done with a smile. Beyond all of this, they’re simply lovely people—fun, warm, and easy to be around. We truly enjoyed every moment with them and felt so lucky to have them in our home. We would welcome them back anytime and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

Meara was great to take care of the three dogs. They were relaxed and well fed, she allowed them to sleep with her. She's a very nice person, easy going and accountable!

Dear Gudrun and Paulo, I really had an amazing time at your place. Before I came I had some stress because it was the first time I travelled on my own, but once I arrived I knew that I would feel at home in an instant. The nature, the animals, I instantly fell in love. Gudrun was very kind and really nice to talk to with good humour, she is a really good cook and regularly took my with her to places in the neighbourhood, like that I had the chance to explore the surroundings! This was really nice because the house is pretty remote, so l really appreciated it that Gudrun took me to all kinds of places. Paulo was really sweet and funny, we had some very good talks as he is a very interesting man with a lot to tell. Overall I really enjoyed the company of Gudrun and Paulo, they are two amazing people! Taking care of the animals and being in their company was really a dream come true. There is a daily routine which consists of walking the dogs, feeding the animals and giving them all lots of love! In between the routines you will have time to relax and do your own thing. All the animals have an amazing and unique personality and began to feel like my best friends. I will miss them all so much. I also loved to get to know Portugal’s amazing dance culture and crazy parties and of course all its incredible warm hearted people. I met the amazing friends and family of Gudrun and Paulo, with them there was never a dull moment! And they were always so kind and sweet to me! I will mis this place so much. Ps. please don’t forget to give Romeo his daily scratches and to give Lychee lots and lots of hugs, you will immediately be on their good side ;)

Cemil was very helpful. I had just received a kitten before travelling and he was in charge of getting him acquainted with another cat. He did a great job. He is very clean, easy going, communicative. He gave me constant feedback. I definitely recommend using him as a workaway, totally trustful! He also has a very kind nature

Where to start ? Céline was such a help when we needed it the most, always smiling and ready to work hard, learning super fast, taking good care of our house and land, blessing everything she touched. We felt directly that she was member of our Big family. What an honor for us, thank you so much for everything, and you know we know that you know that you'll always be welcome (tout mystique) PS: on a trouvé quelques contrario pour te mettre des devoirs supplémentaires : - Une petite rivière agitée - Une poire de baguette - Robert la Serpillère - Le bordel des pays séparés Si tu trouves pas t'envoies un message on t'envoies les indices lol bon voyage et gros bisous !

I stayed with Greg and Ellie for 1 month in May, and it was a beautiful experience! Greg and Ellie are very welcoming hosts, always making sure we feel good, and we appreciate what we are doing. When I was there, we were five volunteers. We had very nice discussions together, always amazing lunches thanks to Ellie's cooking. We all had our own (very comfortable) bedroom, and there is also a nice swimming pool, perfect after a morning of work in the campo. When it started to be too warm, Ellie and Greg tried to find us a job under the shade as much as possible. About the job, we work just in the morning with a nice and tasty break in between. Ellie and Greg are always working with us. The job varies from picking avocados and oranges to mulching and mowing... There is a lot to do outside in the campo. Ellie and Greg pay attention to our preferences to make sure everyone enjoys their job. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, with lovely people who really care about you! I would definitely recommend it, and I'd love to go back!
