I had a wonderful experience with Carolina and Federico. They are welcoming, kind people who take the time to get to know you. I enjoyed taking care of the animals and the olive trees during the day and sharing meals with the family every evening. Carolina showed me around the center of Viterbo, a city full of history and charm, and Federico recommended places for me to visit when I went to Rome. Thank you for everything!

Para nosotros fue una experiencia extraordinaria. El contexto fue muy familiar y relajado, podíamos compartir mucho tiempo hablando, cocinando, visitando y caminando. El pueblo de Andabamba es muy tranquilo y bonito, y tiene un clima amable. Nuestro trabajo fue de pintar unos muros y ventanas para 4/5 horas cada mañana, no estaba tan duro ni complicado, pero necesita de un poco de manualidad. Un gracias especial a Nancy para ser una persona tan amable que siempre nos ayudó y cocinó platos deliciosos. Un abrazo a toda la familia, ¡que les vaya muy muy bien! Hasta luego✌️

It is a true pleasure to share our experience working with Giulia at our place. From the moment she joined our team, her dedication and work evident in every tasks. Her ability to stay organized in dynamic environment is admirable , ensuring that all assigned responsibilities are completed efficiently on time, she helps us in many ways like taking goat out for walk, gardening, help in kitchen etc. We do the trek together for 7 days. Thanks again for bringing your good vibes energy . I can say in confidence that anyone who gets to work with Giulia will be fortune. You are welcome back anytime and hope you continue finding success wherever you are.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed your time with us. It was a pleasure having you here. You were very professional, respectful of the rules, and great with the students. Your dynamic way of working with them made a very positive impact. You’re always welcome back anytime. All the best, and hopefully see you again!

Thank you very much for the chance to live and work with you too and your lovely cat called godzillla :) I had a great time with you! I worked with Jiab in the greenhouse, collected seeds, prepared beds for new plants, keept the greenhouse clean, and collected leaves to make into compost for the plants in the next few years. Jiab is a very interesting and smart woman and it was wonderful to learn so many new and exciting things from her and listen to her talking about topics that interest her. Thanks also to James. His funny and warm manner made me feel very comfortable with them and communication with him was always super quick and easy. The farm is a beautiful big house with lots of plants in the middle of nature and free from noise and large crowds. It is a place of peace and tranquility. I can definitely recommend this host!

Our stay with Willem was a very nice experience. He is a friendly and helpful host who always made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable. The working hours were flexible and considerate. We mainly helped with painting tasks, and Willem always explained the work clearly and adapted the tasks to our respective skill levels. The accommodation was also very nice and cozy. The place is quiet and surrounded by nature, which made the stay especially pleasant and relaxing. Overall, we felt very comfortable during our stay with Willem and would definitely recommend him as a Workaway host.

I spent just 10 days with Beatrice and Marco but I wish it could have been longer! Right from the beginning I felt welcomed and comfortable in their beautiful home. I enjoyed the daily routine of shared cooking and meals, tasks in the garden or around the house, biking and other outings, and ending each day talking or playing games into the night. Maybe one day I will beat Bea at Skyjo! Marco and Bea are very knowledgable about the region and eager to share their love for this place and the people who live here. There was a good balance of work and free time, and they are very accommodating if you have remote work or other things that need to get done. Having a basic level of French would be ideal, but I do not speak any French and communication was never an issue. I felt included in conversation with the many friends and family who stopped by the house for coffee or a shared meal. Both were patient in translating or teaching me basic phrases - and hopefully by the next time I visit I will have learned more! Thank you both for making my first Workaway an unforgettable experience!

We had the most amazing time staying with Erasmo for 2 weeks ! We both enjoyed the work which was nicely varied and interesting. We learnt a lot about restoring furniture and got to make our own spoon from olive wood which was a great experience. The house was busy with other workawayers and we all had a great time sharing our different cultures over a pasta making and traditional dance class with Erasmo! Erasmo communicated really well even in broken English and we got to learn some Italian ! We had a wonderful time sharing and eating fresh food from Erasmo's garden. We got to meet his lovely family who were so kind and welcoming. Spending our free time relaxing by the river and taking a dip was also a real highlight. I would highly recommend this workaway to anybody who is interested in slowing down, enjoying nature and spending time with people.

Liam stayed with us in Nemi and everything went very well. He is a very nice and easygoing guy, helpful, resourceful, and full of great ideas. He made the most of his time here, visiting the town of Nemi, using our bicycle to explore, and enjoying evenings by the wood burner — often in the company of our cat Wadi. Many thanks to Liam for his help, his stories, and his great company. We hope to see him again in the future!

Dempsey is an absolute treasure! She is one of the loveliest young women I have ever had the pleasure of hosting — truly beautiful inside and out. She stayed with me for about three weeks and approached every task with enthusiasm, a smile, and wonderful energy. Dempsey helped with cleaning and organizing and completed everything to perfection. She has an exceptional eye for beauty and design, and somehow everything she touches ends up looking better. She is intelligent, a world traveler, trustworthy, thoughtful, caring, and wonderfully capable with computers and digital tools. She helped me with many technical matters and introduced me to several new things that I greatly appreciated learning. Out on the lanai she worked wonders with my plants, bringing fresh life and order to the space. She even offered to help with planting projects at our Garden Club, which speaks volumes about her generous spirit. One of the most remarkable moments was when she befriended my rather stand-offish bird, Petey — something only one other person has ever managed to do! Dempsey works hard, has great ideas, and offers thoughtful advice. She is quiet in the most pleasant way, yet also a wonderful conversationalist and a fascinating world traveler. She is mindful, careful, respectful, and never imposing. She took great care of my home, and of me making sure I do not lift heavy, and always left everything cleaner and more beautiful than before. It was truly sad to see her leave. The house felt noticeably emptier without her bright presence. If you ever have the opportunity to host this remarkable young woman, you are incredibly fortunate. Dempsey is simply wonderful and I miss her already! Bestvwishes and please let's keep in touch!

I spent one incredible month at Claire and Michiel's place. Since it was my first Workaway experience and because I hadn't worked at a building site like this before, I was very curious what it would be like. In the end it was better than anything I imagined. Claire and Michiel are very empathetic and welcoming people who made me feel at home instantly. Together with their two energetic kids and the other wonderful workawayers, every day was filled with laughter and joy. The work at the mansion house was an equally cool experience. Michiel explained every task with patience and let us choose the task we felt most comfortable with. For me, the work really was an opportunity to grow personally and see what I can do. The music box and group tasks also always created good vibes and funny moments during work hours : ) All in all I'm just very grateful for the time I spent in this special place Claire and Michiel created. They really are great hosts and I hope to come back soon!✨😊

Sia is a hard woorking, kind and open woman. She is so nice and her time here was wonderfull and loving

A truly wonderful experience! I spent 1 month here at the spanish school. The staff is so warm and welcoming and everyone here works together to create an inclusive and friendly environment. The volunteering position is great for someone who is outgoing and social. You help welcome new students and host the events throughout the week. I also worked a lot on media and marketing materials while I was there as it was low season so they thought it best to make headway on these projects. Both Cesar and Josie are outstandingly kind people. It was a pleasure to work with them. The accommodation was wonderful. I stayed in the school apartment located in a very cute and safe neighborhood, close to the plaza in Cusco. The spanish lessons were also fantastic and I improved so much in the immersive environment. I highly recommend this workaway. HUGE THANKS for this exchange.

Reon has been very helpful during the two weeks he has stayed here, and I’m very grateful for his hard work and positive attitude. Gardening has been quite busy lately, but he has always done his best with a smile. He has also cooked some great meals and made a lot of progress learning Spanish, despite not knowing a word when he arrived. I really wish him all the best in his future adventures and recommend him to anyone looking for a respectful and friendly guest.

I stayed for three weeks as a volunteer with Paul and Dani. When I arrived, they were still in the middle of some renovation work. Because of that, there were not many guests at the time, and I had a dorm room to myself. During my stay I met many lovely people. Paul was always very friendly, open, and helpful. Unfortunately, due to the renovation work I couldn’t attend many yoga classes, but the classes I joined with Dani were really great and I enjoyed them a lot. I was still allowed to use the yoga room during the renovations, which I really appreciated and enjoyed doing. The work was easy and relaxed. There was always enough time to chat with guests or also spend some time on my computer. Overall, I had a very nice time there and can definitely recommend this place as a volunteer.

Leo was one of the best workerways I ever had.And i've had hundreds. He was highly highly appreciative, very thorough in everything he did an extremely hard working. Best of luck in the future Leo j success and joy, are your destiny.

I spent more than two months with this amazing family and I can say with certainty this was the best experience I could ever had during my time in Ireland. The place seemed unreal and even if I was there in wintertime I really enjoyed the sea, the beaches, the mountains and the animals. But the best part of it was the way Jasper, Katie and the kids made me feel at home every single day. I felt very walcomed and at ease, they always wanted to make sure that I was comfortable and happy, and they really cared about my needs and my wellness. They are very respectful, kind, generous and open minded people. I never felt pressured or forced to do anything. Lily and Rui are both wonderful kids, I really enjoyed spending time with them, they always brought me joy and made me laugh. I built a very strong bond especially with Lily, a really unexpected and beautiful bond. I think I can't find the right words to describe how grateful I am for all the love this family has given me. If you want to explore an incredible place, try delicious food and have lots of fun this is the perfect experience. I had a really special and unforgettable time and I would do it again a thousand times! Chiara

I spent the whole of February with Simone and her family, and it was exactly as I had hoped it would be, and even better ;) The work was absolutely manageable and also a lot of fun. At the same time, I had a lot of freedom in terms of when I did what, which suited me very well alongside studying for an exam. Being together with the family was also very relaxed and enjoyable: we had game nights together, but there was also plenty of space for peace and quiet, which was the perfect mix for me. At the same time, all three of them have a great sense of humour, so it was never boring at the dinner table ;) The surroundings are also ideal for long walks or simply enjoying a cup of tea outside and watching the animals. I had some very nice walks with Simone and the horses; the landscape there is incredibly beautiful! All in all, I highly recommend visiting Simone, her children and all the animals and plants. I will definitely do it again! Thank you for the wonderful time!

My time volunteering was an incredible experience, so well organized, inspiring, and full of learning. I gained so much from every moment I spent there. All the dogs at Muttland are absolutely loving, playful, and full of personality. The experience in the clinic touched me deeply. Jasmine, your mission is truly extraordinary and inspiring. Keep going, you are a real force of nature! 💛🐾 I’m so grateful to have been part of this.
