I had a wonderful experience staying at Hagen's place in Nagasaki. It is important to understand that this is not a luxury stay. As clearly described in the profile, the houses are traditional Japanese homes that require ongoing care and maintenance. There are stairs, some quirks that come with older properties, and guests are expected to help with tasks such as cleaning, tidying, light gardening, house maintenance, and looking after the property. For me, this was part of the charm of the experience. The houses are beautiful, traditional, full of character, and the surrounding nature and views more than make up for the occasional inconveniences. Although I never met Hagen in person, he was always available, responsive, friendly, and helpful whenever I had questions. Communication was excellent throughout my stay. This Workaway gave me the opportunity to experience a quieter and more authentic side of Japanese life, far from the typical tourist experience. I am grateful for the opportunity and would happily recommend this host to anyone who is independent, respectful, and interested in traditional Japanese culture and houses. Thank you, Hagen, for the opportunity and for sharing your home.

He is a calm and patient person with a broad range of general knowledge and a highly creative way of thinking. He consistently takes full responsibility for the tasks assigned to him and completes them with care and reliability. Even though we only worked together for about a week, he quickly adapted to the environment and showed a strong sense of responsibility and commitment throughout the work period. He is also easy to communicate with and open to learning new things. I can confidently say he would be a valuable and trustworthy person in any team or project.

Manu is a really nice and kind guy, really funny ! He can easily socialise with people around ! He was late a couple of time for his shift and he left the workaway before the 2 weeks minimum that we usually ask and agreed on together. Otherwise everything was good ! It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you, welcome back anytime, we hope for longer ! Take care Manu !

This workaway is an amazing opportunity to join a unique and colorful family at the heart of the Cordilla Blanca! The work is easy, fun and Leaves plenty of time to explore the beautiful area, socialize, have some alone time or practice your Spanish! The food was delicious and they are well accustomed to different dietary needs. Thank you Alan and Diony for this lovely experience!

Vielen Dank für die interessante Zeit mit deiner professionellen Unterstützung. Es freut uns, dass dieser Ort auch für dich eine Bereicherung ist. Pettersson und Findus ;-) , Ich hatte da wohl auch meine Findus Phasen und viele interessante Perspektiven zu den Themen entdecken können. Es kommt nicht all zu oft vor, Menschen zu begegnen welche tiefgründiges Fachwissen auch noch verstehen und kommunizieren können. Danke dir für die Geduld . Bist natürlich jederzeit gerne willkommen und wir freuen uns auf ein nächstes Mal . Gutes Gelingen bis dahin.

We've had a great time staying with Jenn and Anthony. We really enjoyed helping with simple tasks like mulching, cooking and other stuff around the house. We shared delicious meals and went to the bowling club and the mainland together, which was so fun. The island is beautiful and we had enough time to just relax, go to the local ice cream shop/cafe and explore other islands. Thank you so much for having us!

Sakura has been one of those people who leave a mark. From the beginning, she brought such a calm, curious, and kind energy to the house. She’s tougher than she looks too. she offered to help my grandmother in the garden without knowing what she was getting into or even speaking the same language… and somehow they connected anyway. My grandma still talks about her and says she misses her “compañera". She was also out there milking cows during a storm.. absolutely unreal 😂 Some of my favorite moments were the simple ones: cooking together (she’s seriously so good), playing chess, and having those random conversations about life! She’s lived in several countries and has so many stories and perspectives. never a boring moment. She took amazing care of the llamas and calves from day one, and I trusted her completely with them. But more than the help, I think what I’ll miss most is just hanging out and talking. Thank you for everything, Sakura. I really hope life brings us together again someday ❤️🦙♟️🍛🐈‍⬛🍄

Malissa and her friend Julia were AMAZING! They adapted quickly as I was away and they were able to adapt to circumstances. Hard workers and very organized. they follow instructions to perfection and were very friendly and polite Recommend them 100%

Rosie and Braden aka Bender stayed with us for a week in early June, and what an absolute pleasure they were. Although we were their first Workaway hosts, you’d never know it — they’ve travelled widely, adapted to all sorts of living situations, and bring a calm, capable confidence to everything they do. We can wholeheartedly recommend them as Workawayers. They share their culture with openness and humour, work smartly and seamlessly as a team, and seem to carry sunshine with them — there’s always a smile. They even taught us a brilliant new card game, which we’re now mildly addicted to. We’d welcome them back in a heartbeat.

Siri is an AMAZING host. We felt at home since the moment we arrived. We only had to teach English a few hours a day and in return Siri gave us food, accommodation and showed us around Kamphaeng Phet. We learned so much about Thai culture, which we don’t think we would have just by visiting Thailand. We had a lot of time to prepare for the lessons and the children were very good. It felt very rewarding teaching them! We also had a couple of days off to visit Chiang Mai :) Thank you for everything, Siri! Hope you see you again in the future!

Simone has a genuinely loving and soft-hearted personality that makes her a pleasure to work with. She is welcoming,friendly,and brings a breath of fresh air to the team. Her warm nature creates a positive environment, and she is always eager to learn and develop new skills. While volunteering she started working and that started affecting her volunteering role aswell where it came to a point where she was struggling to balance the amount of attention she was able to dedicate to her volunteering role. She has tremendous potential for growth. With improved time management and prioritisation of her commitments, I believe she will thrive in any role she undertakes. Her caring nature, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn make her a valuable individual with a bright future ahead. We are grateful for the positivity she brought to the hostel and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

We loved our workaway stay with Beatrice and Hugh. We did some mulching, pruning, wood splitting and olive harvesting in exchange for a cosy cabin and 2 delicious meals each day. They were both very friendly and welcoming hosts and we really enjoyed getting to know them, exchanging travel stories and experiences and playing games. Thank you so much for a great week☺️

Andre was fabulous! Impeccable with his work standards and a lovely person to spend time with. He worked on quite a few of our garden projects and did a great job. He looked after the studio and left it clean and tidy. We really enjoyed sharing meals especially when he cooked Rosti ☺️ Andre was here for two weeks and we would have loved him to stay longer. Thoroughly recommended to all hosts and welcome back here anytime 🙏

It was a pleasure to have Aimee and Cody with us for 16 days. They were easy house guests, willing workers and fun to work with and be around. We accomplished a lot of varied homestead tasks, including planting most of the vegetable garden, weeding, trimming back an overgrown trail, Adding plants to the wildflower meadow, scything & mulching, and cleaning out the henhouse and root cellar. Cody also used his arborist skills to trim up a neglected crabapple tree. Cody and Aimee, thank you so much for your energy! I am grateful for your help.

My first work away experience could not have been any better! Giulia, Roberto, Mattia and Andrea were so welcoming and friendly. Their apartment in the heart of Catania is amazing with colourful artwork and photographs that make their house feel like home. Then room provided and all the facilities were great and made my 3 week stay very comfortable. Their pets are adorable and I loved my walks with the dogs numerous times a day. I got to explore all that the east coat of Sicily has to offer with great recommendations from Giulia and Roberto. Giulia is an amazing cook and always included me at mealtimes, she made sure that I was comfortable and well looked after. Roberto very kindly arranged for me to take one of the island tour buses to explore some of the region and was able to help plan my adventures. The boys were quite shy but it was great to spend time with them and get to hear about their school and summer camp activities. They are lovely kids. I would say to anyone who is considering a stay with the family to definitely go ahead as you’ll love every minute!

A wonderful place with wonderful peoples ! A wonderful, peaceful experience. The task at hand has always been to measure and adapt. I learned so many new things. The three-day weekend is very convenient for exploring the area (and there’s plenty to see!). The cabin is super comfortable and cozy. Angelune and Jalferd are wonderful people and excellent cooks! Again a great thank you for all !

It was a great pleasure having Norah volunteering with us! She helped us really well with a variety of tasks, such as landscaping to have more water infiltrating on our campsite, daily cleaning, mulching and more.. She was always ready to help out and open to learn new things! She is a very kind and calm person, really nice to talk to, eager to make a positive impact and we would recommend her to any host! Thanks for everything Norah :)
