Zaklina you are like a sunshine to my shelter! We need the people like you to our shelter. Our door is opened for you every time!

If you want to have a killer deal then go to David!!!!! David is very approachable, friendly, cosmopolitan, smart, cheerful and lively. He cares a lot. It is totally beautiful there and you do a lot with David, so I could see a lot of the island. I couldn't give him back as much as I got. It felt like a vacation and it's just very very very very very little work. I am very grateful for this wonderful time with him!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Atash - both as a volunteer and as a person! He has a ton of experience working in hospitality, and he brought a lot of knowledge and helpful tips to our team to help us improve. He is hard working but also such a lovely person to have around. Both the staff and guests loved having him around. We would welcome him back with open arms any time! If Atash asks to volunteer with you, don't think twice! He is the best addition to your team that you could ask for.

Sam volunteered with us in our hostel for about a month and it was a pleasure to have him with us! He was a great worker, always helpful, and he did a great job connecting with our guests and helping us build community. He's very easy going and fun to have around. I would recommend him as a volunteer to anyone, and we would be happy to have him back any time :)

Lara is very playful and simple to be around. She helped me with some personal things with her emotional release therapies and was happy to share it with the community around us. Very focused and empathic to listen and explore new things :) Also helped me paint murals in the community and gave her touch to the are and paso a paz.

I spent a month with Josiephine and her husband Barry. I enjoyed my stay with them and look forward to coming back again. my time was spent trimming trees and moving the branches that were removed from the tree. I also spent time helping to paint the house. Josie spent time every evening to cook us food from a range of cultures and was more than happy to accommodate for my dislike of most pork products. I tried many new foods while staying with Josie and got along well with everyone there, including the dogs, Smartie and Poppy who often supervised us while we were working. Josie and Barry are absolutely lovely and made me feel welcomed in their home. I had a wonderful experience on their farm and hope to come back soon.

I really had a good time at Vili's place. It was a really great experience, even tho i had personal stuff happening back in my hometown, everyone was so nice that it always made me forget the bad stuff. It is an absolutely beautiful place, with a lot of positive energy, and it tells. I cannot wait to go back one day, and have a drink at the bar, maybe play a little with other musician, and the great pianist that Vili is. I really wish i could have stay more. I cannot recommand this place enough, thanks Vili for the opportunity

It was absolutely wonderful having Jana with us, and such an honor that she ended up staying for two months instead of just three weeks. She was incredibly empathetic and connected beautifully with our horses. She was easy-going and respectful; we felt truly appreciated, and I loved practicing yoga with her. The most beautiful thing was seeing how much she blossomed around the horses—the sparkle in her eyes remained even when it was raining and she was out there mucking out in full gear. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, Jana. You are welcome back anytime!

It was super nice to have liv with us helping. She was really empathic and it was nice talking with her. She got into her duties very fast and she was really responsible the work that had to be done. She cooked very nice food for everyone. It all felt super hamonic and we hope to see her back again one day. Thank you!

My stay with Katherine and Sebastian was truly wonderful. From the beginning, I felt like part of the family rather than just a guest. They are incredibly kind and supportive, and the kids are super sweet and fun to be around. I felt welcome and comfortable the entire time. The location is great as well, with easy access to the Kapiti Coast for beautiful sunsets, nice hikes, a nearby brewery, and a charming small town. I had so many laughs, felt at home right away, and am very grateful for this experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts – always happy to come back!

Working at Estrella's is a real blessing. In het beautiful garden there is always something to do. In exchange for work you get Spanish lessons, home meal cooking, a stunning view and a warm feeling that you are home. If you have the chance to stay here, grab it with both hands. Dear Estrella, Thank you so much for having me in your beautiful home and to meet your family! The surroundings are stunning and makes working at your place very easy. It was a privilege! I hope I can come back some day! Till we meet again! Hug Rob

Riccardo and Michele were wonderful volunteers and it was truly a pleasure hosting them. They are both super friendly, respectful, and easy to have around, bringing a very positive energy to the house. They were always willing to help, worked responsibly, and showed great initiative in the tasks they took on. Beyond the work itself, they were simply great people to spend time with and chat about all sorts of things. Hosting them felt very natural and comfortable. We would happily welcome them back anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend them to any future host. Thank you both for the huge help and the lovely time together! You will be missed.

I stayed with Pippa for about three weeks, with a one-week break spent with her wonderful friends, Noelle and David. Time flew by at her place. The house is spacious and tidy, with a great living room and an excellent library. I always felt at ease; in the beginning, I even felt a bit overwhelmed by her kindness—she is always so ready to offer you something to eat and happy to let you cook whatever you like. The work mainly consisted of weeding, pruning, and mowing in the fabulous garden, all done without any pressure. She lent me wellies, an old sweatshirt, and a waxed jacket, so I wasn't afraid of the rain or getting dirty. Thanks to her and her friends, I visited practically all of County Mayo: Ballina, Ballintubber, Cong, Moore Hall, Turlough... Noelle and David took me to Killala and Ballycastle, where I saw the impressive Downpatrick Head, while I went to Westport with Margaret. In general, she is always willing to give you a lift somewhere, as well as play Scrabble or let you watch TV. If you are looking for a genuine cultural exchange in County Mayo, I highly recommend Pippa.

Lina was a great addition to our team during the busiest time of the year! She was very enthusiastic about everything that was going on, eager to socialise with everyone, and ready to help out wherever needed. Because she was with us during the height of the summer season we really did ask her to help out in so many different areas around our place, and she did such a great job of being flexible, efficient, and being willing to help wherever help was needed - even when the tasks and nature of the tasks varied a lot from day to day, or wasn't even something that she had necessarily done before, she was always ready to listen, engage, and help. Thank you so much Lina for the time you spent here and all the best for you in the future :)

Sveta stayed with me for 4 nights as part of a language exchange, she helped me practice my Russian, and I provided accommodation. It was a genuinely wonderful experience. She was generous with her time and patient with my Russian exercises, which I really appreciated. Beyond the language practice, we went out together to a concert and she even cooked for me, both lovely moments that made the whole stay feel more like hosting a friend than an exchange. On the practical side, she's tidy, clean, and very respectful of the home. She's also flexible, fun, and has a great sense of humour. Easy to be around in every way. I'd warmly recommend Sveta to any host. Would love to have her back!

Can't explain in words enough how beautiful and beyond any expectations this place is. Bruno is a very kind and generous person with a little time to spend and a huge heart to give. I enjoyed the time working in the kitchen, the bartendering at the wedding, picking fruits and weeding the garden. this place feels heavenly with the nature around, the pool, the amount of food given every week, the waterfall, the little lake with ducks in front of the volenteers house. im very greatful to have this experience. thanks very much Bruno and family :-)

Rodrigo is a very interesting and creative artist. we prepared for filming a project that was canceled last minute. I enjoyed staying there. rodrigo made sure I have everything I need, instead he took us to drinks at the beautiful beaches, made food and chilled out with the mosquitoes :-) thanks for everything felo artist, hope to see your project coming true

Yiqian came to assist in teaching and caring for the children with great dedication and kindness. She is gentle, patient, and treats every student with equal care and attention. During her time with us, she helped create a warm and friendly learning atmosphere. The children felt happy, more confident, and enjoyed learning much more. She consistently supported the learning process and took good care of the children. Her sincerity and commitment made a positive impression on both teachers and students. We are truly grateful and sincerely appreciate her valuable support. Thank you so much :)

Noam stayed with us for almost four weeks and was a truly valuable help throughout her time here. She took on the responsibility of caring for the cat house, including daily cleaning, feeding, and spending time socializing with the cats. She made sure the space was always clean, organized, and comfortable, and she gave the cats the attention and affection they need, which made a noticeable difference. With the dogs, Noam was involved in cleaning the kennels and outdoor areas, assisting with their general care, and taking them out for walks. She handled these tasks reliably and with great care, always making sure the animals felt safe and well looked after. Noam is a real ray of sunshine. She has a genuine love for animals and treats them with patience, kindness, and respect. At the same time, she is very communicative, easy to be around, and always open to learning new things and improving her skills. She is an excellent team player who quickly connects with others and contributes positively to the group dynamic. At the same time, she is able to work independently, takes initiative, and thinks ahead—qualities that are extremely valuable in a place like ours. We are very grateful that Noam spent this time with us. It was a pleasure having her here, and we would be more than happy to welcome her back anytime in the future.
