Harry has been a fantastic volunteer at our school. He is consistently punctual and dependable, always arriving on time and ready to contribute. What really sets him apart is his genuine willingness to help students—he is patient, approachable, and takes the time to ensure they feel supported and understood. Beyond his reliability, Harry brings a positive attitude to everything he does. He is respectful, easy to work with, and creates a welcoming environment for both students and staff. We all had a great time working with him, and his presence made a positive difference in our school community. Overall, he is a kind and dedicated individual who leaves a lasting impression.

Patricia and Gerard were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. They are truly lovely people! the property was breathtaking and the food superb. we stayed a little longer than a week and by the end it was difficult to leave. There are always a pleathora of tasks to work on which means we had a lot of variety in labor and things to learn. We will be thinking about our stay for years to come. We couldn't recommend them more!

I was an AuPair for June and July of 2025. It was an amazing culturally immersive experience. Valentina, Carmine, and Luna are such a beautiful, friendly, outgoing family. They have amazing town connections; Polignano a Mare felt like a fairy tale. I did find it a little challenging to connect with Luna as she is very mature and independent, but my overall experience was super positive. The family was very generous, welcoming, and easygoing.

The lovely lady was so kind and patient in explaining everything; the house is beautiful and very unique. The animals are easy to care for and very friendly. Everything was very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by Linda's place.

I first stayed here back in November 2024 for 10 days...which turned into 2 weeks...which turned into me returning for another 2 weeks. Needless to say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The kindness of Noah and Patty and their commitment to animal liberation is second to no other. I miss the personalities of every single animal and waking up every day knowing I was helping them as best I can. The work is reasonable and fun and the hosts are very accommodating to individual strengths and needs. Please stay here if you can! I've made lifelong friends with some of the other volunteers, the sanctuary feels a little bit like a home away (far, far away) from home. Thank you Noah and Patty for all the incredible work you do, I will definitely be back one day :) <3

I left this place a week ago and I already miss everyone so much. This place is a perfect example of how kindness, empathy, and care can make a difference, especially when it comes to rescued animals. Ann is a wonderful person who cares deeply about animals and people. She always made sure I was comfortable, made sure work wasn't a problem, and always bought me food I liked :) We ate breakfast and dinner together, which was very nice, and Ann is a great cook. The house is meat-free and alcohol-free, which is a huge plus. There's a forest nearby where you can walk the adorable dogs. All the animals here are amazing and very friendly. It's easy to form a wonderful bond with them, which makes you never want to leave :) I hope to return soon.

Daniel, it was a pleasure spending time with you. I'll miss you a lot. You're one of those people you can talk to about anything. About life, energies, great stories, thank you so much for sharing and helping me during your volunteer stay. A big hug! c:

I had a brilliant first Workaway experience with Ivor! He is an incredibly hospitable and thoughtful host who went out of his way to make me feel welcome. As someone with a meat-oriented diet, I really appreciated how accommodating he was with the meals—we shared some great food and even better conversations over a beer by the fire in his cozy home. Ivor took the time to show me the best of the area, from hidden hilltop vantage points and local beaches to the charming nearby towns. The house itself is in a stunning location right next to a beautiful lake, and Ploče is a great base with plenty to explore. Regarding the work, we focused on painting windows, laying laminate flooring, and various household repairs. Ivor was always easygoing with the schedule and very open to my suggestions and ideas, which made the projects feel collaborative and stress-free. If you’re looking for a calm atmosphere, a kind host, and a beautiful corner of the world to work in, I couldn't recommend staying with Ivor enough!

My stay with Therese was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I had a wonderful time; the house was really cosy and the garden was lovely – I left a piece of my heart by the stream. I cleared the weeds to prepare the ground for spring and removed the moss from the stream. Therese is very flexible with her schedule; we spent many evenings chatting about all sorts of things and I got to taste her excellent cooking. There’s plenty to see in the area where she lives and there’s no shortage of nature. I hope to see her again in the future; she is such a kind person and I cherished every moment with her, Ziggy and Zora.

We truly loved having Dom with us. He helped so much with gardening and general maintenance, always putting care and heart into everything he did. He’s very reliable and comfortable working on his own, which we really appreciated, and he brought such a warm, easygoing presence to our home. We’re very grateful for his time here and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any future hosts!

We really enjoyed meeting and hosted Carla, it was just 3 weeks but she really became part of our family, we enjoyed having chats, we shared lots of stories, laughs and culture exchange. Our baby Ayla loved her and really enjoyed playing and spending time with her . Carla is a lovely, smart and responsible girl for her young age. Thank you Carla, you know how much we value you and you’re welcome back anytime!

Francesca stayed with me for 2 weeks and was a wonderful workawayer and house guest. While here she worked hard in the garden clearing, cleaning and restoring 2 streams, bringing the vegetable beds and area back to life and restoring old stones that were covered in moss and weeds to their former glory. It was pleasure to have her here, eat home made pasta and pizza and enjoy a taste of Italy. I recommend her to any future hosts.

The family is soo nice and I really enjoyed staying at their place. They are kind, warm, and showed me a lot of things what I can do in Menorca and made wonderful experiences such as sailing and hiking. I enjoyed hearing their stories about travel and ideas about everything, learned a lot and got inspired. I was so comfortable with them and appreciate for everything, definitely would love to go back near future!

I've had a very good experience with Thais and Uli: they're both very nice person and it was a pleasure being with them and discovering their life. I was staying in their former house which had (for me) a good level of comfort! The work was pretty manual, mainly focused on the soil, the rocks and the garden. It was cool to have lunch with Thais & Uli after the ~4h of work, and then I'd usually go by the local "pool" which has cenote's water. The place is isolated and very calm which for me was perfect!

Mariel, te extrañaremos mucho, compartir contigo fue muy especial, siempre con una sonrisa y vibrando alto, positiva en todo momento, me encanta tu energía y tu humor hehehe que buen humor, extrañare mucho las bromas "yiaaa". Te deseo todo lo mejor en todos tus proyectos, disfruta mucho Canadá, que todo lo que venga sea bonito para ti. Vuelve cuando quieras

Patricia and Willy were at great couple to have here. Helpfull, positive, making good food, and very friendly. Thanks you for everything and welcome back to Norway =)

I had such a great time teaching here! I got to teach 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, and later on I assisted in the lower grades as well. Learning how to teach in a way that kept the students engaged was challenging, but extremely rewarding. Many times I had to improvise, however, the students are very respectful and kind, and will make you feel at home. The school days fly by quickly, leaving you with ample time to relax in the afternoon and evening, and the apartment was very comfortable. Mr Ariel has a great personality. He is funny, easygoing, and caring. I really enjoyed working with him and all of the other teachers as well. I am grateful for the time I got to spend here, for I ended up learning a lot and growing as a person. Also the fruit in Cofradía is delicious! Any one who puts in the effort to help out at this school is bound to be rewarded with a rich experience.

We had a very nice time with Florian as he is a social, easy-going guy, willing to help and also independant enough to take initiatives! Thank you for all the good French bread you baked, all the nice talks and walks with Karhu, all the work with piling wood... We're glad that you ended up your year of travel with us, good luck with everything and welcome back!

I enjoyed staying at David's place and learned a lot from him about the area especially history and culture. His garden is very beautiful and I enjoyed working there. Thank you very much for having me!

I stayed with David and the burgeoning community for about 1 month Dec- Jan during the winter time! I had a wonderful and intimate experience ranging from the winter solstice ecstatic dance gathering, to Christmas festivities with David’s family, and a New Year’s Eve intentional celebration with David , his partner Clarity, and another Workawayer! The land is well-balanced between wild and civilized including forest, pasture fields, and a beautiful little creek running through. There are an assortment of canvas tents, various tiny home like structures, lovely outdoor kitchen and composting toilets, bonfire, big veggie gardens, wood fired sauna and hot tub, sweat lodge, and more! The eating situation is sufficiently stocked with nourishing, natural foods; we usually do breakfast on our own and have communal lunches and dinners. I really valued my time here, especially the weekly check in meetings, deeply and intentionally listening and communicating with each other. I liked it so much I will be returning in the spring to share more lovely and constructively challenging moments together!
