-Una experiencia auténtica, lejos de los ritmos y comodidades urbanas, donde descubrir formas alternativas de vivir- Nuestra estancia ha sido una experiencia mágica e inolvidable 💛 Las principales tareas fueron apoyar en la bioconstrucción de un muro, cocinar o recolectar y secar diversas raíces y frutos propios de la zona. Además de pasar tiempo con las niñas, pero esta parte ha sido tan linda y divertida que no se puede considerar una tarea! :)) Silvana y Alessia son los seres pequeños mas sabios que hemos conocido 😍 las echamos mucho de menos! El día a a día en el Paso del Mango (pequeña comunidad donde su ubica la finca) es tranquilo, una vida 100% conectada con la naturaleza y sus ritmos, aunque ofrece buenas opciones de ocio para el tiempo libre como conocer reservas naturales, bañarse en ríos y cascadas, tomar algo en el excelente bar La Wati o visitar una granja de Cacao. El ambiente en la casa es familiar pero dinámico, abierto y divertido ☺️ Leo es excelente acompañando y motivando al voluntariado. El trabajo puede ser duro pero con música, alegría y buena compañía resulta muy gratificante. También tuvimos la oportunidad de colaborar con David en el proyecto Sierra Maestra, de donde nos llevamos valiosos aprendizajes y un gran amigo. Como parte de su proyecto de cosmética natural, Leo nos ofreció una formación práctica de elaboración de jabones con cúrcuma orgánica; súper interesante!! Gracias Leo, Keila, Ale, Silvi y David. Os sentimos como nuestra familia en la mágica Sierra Nevada 💛 Esperamos volver para seguir formando parte de este precioso proyecto! Mucho amor Bárbara y Roberto

My time at Stefano's was a really precious and rich experience, him an Freja hosted me with warmth and kindness into this beautiful creative and musical house. I feel deeply thankful for all the knowledge, the amazing food, the laughs and talks. I can already feel that you've passed on your love of gardening to me ; I can't wait to start my own :) Grazie mille per tutto, hope to see you again, please visit if you ever come to France !

Brogan was an absolute pleasure to have with us. From the very beginning, he showed a genuine willingness to contribute and quickly became a meaningful part of our community. He didn’t just help with day-to-day tasks, but left behind valuable materials and laid strong foundations that will support everything we’re building operationally in the year ahead. He approached everyone with respect, openness, and a positive attitude, which made working together easy and enjoyable. His presence had a really good impact on the group as a whole. We’re truly grateful we had the chance to meet and work with him. Brogan is someone who brings both practical value and a great human energy wherever he goes, and we’re confident he’ll continue to make a difference in the communities he joins. Thank you!

This was my first time volunteering through Workaway. I’m so glad I chose this programme as my first Workaway experience. I stayed with the organisation for 6 weeks (December 2025-January 2026). It was a pleasure to spend Christmas and New Year with the community and fellow volunteers. The whole experience was truly life-changing, in large part because of the beautiful people I was able to encounter throughout my stay. This was also my first proper experience of Africa. From the minute I landed I was well looked after by the staff – they go above and beyond to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment. I was supported both in terms of the project, and in terms of getting the most out of the experience; being able to visit the various cultural and natural hotspots around Arusha (markets, museums, waterfalls, hot springs, national parks etc.). The experience was a perfect balance of working to achieve meaningful impact, whilst experiencing local culture and adventure :) I can't reiterate enough – it is the people that make the experience. Arusha is a challenging place – beautiful and vibrant. It's a unique experience. Being able to have that experience with like-minded but diverse individuals – locals and volunteers – has been truly life-changing. I am forever grateful to my fellow volunteers and the Arusha family that made me feel so at home.

ralph was sitting my house while i had to work. he is a fresh spirit to the place and spreads a lot of good energy. he is open minded and curious and very autonomous. eventhough we did not spend so much time together i had a trustworthy feeling during my absence and i wasn t disapointed! he took care of my place with that special note of diligence. i came home and felt at ease. i totally recommend ralph as a tidy trustworthy workawayer. i hope his path is paved with delighful gatherings. thank you ralph!

Very smart and easy going multi talent, who also have good skills to live in north. Liked Emmanuel´s attitude for tasks and also how he was problem solver and self standing in many cases. He had short time helping hand work to do and can just say that he did hes part very well. All the best in future and hopefully we see again here in north! Takk!

Suse stayed with us for 6 weeks in autumn (initially 4 planned) and really helped all around. She is very skilled, can probably do anything she puts her mind to, and is also organized. Being somewhat more experienced that you average volunteer she was helping in organising the volunteer experience more than others. She was also here when some negative energy was about (See Alex's review) which was difficult for her (we only really heard about this afterwards) as she is generally a positive person looking for constructive ways to change situation. If you are a host, you should be so lucky as to find a volunteer so positive and energetic.

Sophie is a very special young woman with a beautiful curiosity for life. At first she may seem a little shy, but once she feels comfortable, her warmth, joy, and passion truly shine. She was always willing to help with anything we needed, and she brought such a lovely energy into our home, especially for my daughter Isabella. What touched me most was her sensitivity through photography — she was able to capture the deep love between my daughter and me in such a natural and beautiful way. Having Sophie with us was truly a joy, and I would welcome her back into our home anytime with great pleasure.

So nice to meet people from. other cultures and languages. It was a treat to have them stay with me.

Kathy war letzten Sommer 2025 für 1 Monat bei uns. Von der ersten Stunde an hat es gepasst. Kathy ist nicht nur ein herzliches und positives Mädl, sie ist auch super hilfsbereit. Sie sah die Arbeit und unterstütze uns in allen Bereichen. Die Liebe zur Natur steht bei Kathy ganz oben und so half sie uns auch in ihrer Freizeit, vor allem im Garten. Ihr Koch- und Backkünste genossen wir natürlich auch in vollen Zügen. Sie war für uns nicht nur eine Mitarbeiterin sondern es entwickelte sich auch eine Freundschaft. Wir können über Kathy nur positives schreiben. Tolles junges Mädl.

Luke stayed with us for almost two months in early autumn. A bit longer than most (which was very welcome), so he got to see a lot of people, whom he got along with well. Luke is what i like to call a gentle soul, friendly, never harsh, understanding. A musician at heart, he nevertheless participated in many different task, light and hard, without complaint, more often than not enthusiasm,

We had Josefina come to spend time helping us last year. She was great with the animals and a hard worker and did everything that was asked of her. We also had two other workaways here at the time and enjoyed several nights out in the pub where we had lots of fun. Even though Josefina worked remotely part time she still did her share of the daily routine and was always eager to do more to help where needed. Thanks for all your help Josefina and we wish you all the very best

Alex & Emma , or as we got to know them Alex, and Emma (separately), stayed with us for a month in late Summer last year. Arrived separately and left together. So lovely people, both, and now together. Only good things, if you are a host reading this, say yes!

Once again, thank you Paolo, for sharing your paradise with me! The story you are writing is very inspiring. I admire you a lot for your courage and determination. I learned a lot from you, not only about sustainable farming, but about life in general. I left my job and life in Belgium because I wanted to do something different for a while. And so my workaway journey started in the country that I was not expecting, but loved from the very first moment I arrived. I will never forget last winter. Turned out to be the best winter of my life (so far). The winter I got tanned while weeding. The winter I finally got to live my childhood dream of being a farmer. The winter I got connected with nature and be surrounded by animals again. The winter of peace of mind, a different definition of time and going back to the essence. The winter I got fat as well… I discovered my passion for cooking again in a complete different way and level. To be able to cook with vegetables that where still standing on the fields not more than 5 minutes ago was really a dream coming true, as well as the circular vision of the farm. This workaway was giving me a lot and I will forever be grateful for that. E poi, mille grazie a te, nonna Giovanna, per avermi accolto con tanto calore. E grazie anche a tutta la famiglia e agli amici della fattoria. La Fattoria di Casa Bianca rimarrà per sempre nel mio cuore! See you soon for another day in paradise! Love Paulien

Bilgen stayed with us for two weeks in November, He was very interested and enthusiastic, but unfortunately was called away on family business, cutting his short stay even shorter. Bilden was always friendly and helpful. Got along with other people well and did his work conscientiously.

From the very beginning, Rita was responsible, kind, and genuinely caring—not only towards us, but especially towards our animals. Rita was attentive to each cat’s needs, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. Our two terrapins were also very well looked after, with their care routines followed perfectly.

I stayed about three weeks at Vedrana and Tina on the island Vis. I look back to these weeks with a warm heart. It felt like being part of the daily life in this small place on the island where you get to know your neighbours and the special way of living that an island like this brings you. I remember starting the days of with smiles saying good morning to both each other and the beautiful horses that I loved visiting every day. Be open and they will make you feel at home! Voluntary work included work among the animals, around the house or on the land close to the house. I went for swims(with the dogs) in a bay not too far away and we visited the nearby island town which was very cozy in the off tourist season, drinking coffee around island people. There is a community of more people living off grid on the island that you can visit and with whom Vedrana and Tina collaborate! I promise I will come back someday :)

I had a wonderful experience in Spain. From the very first day, I felt truly welcomed and part of the family. Nury and Rudi are very kind and open, and every day I learned something new from their life experiences. My main tasks involved taking care of the animals, including two horses, two dogs, and a cat. They are all incredibly sweet and loving, and I already miss them so much! In my free time, I really enjoyed exploring Alicante and the surrounding areas. I’m very grateful for this amazing experience and for the time I spent with them. I would highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a genuine and rewarding Workaway experience. Thank you again for everything!

We had Romain come to stay with us for a month and it was an absolute pleasure having him here. He is a great worker who kept on top of the work routine that is done daily and worked to a very high standard, he did everything that was asked of him . Although he is quite a quiet person there was never any awkwardness and we were both immediately at ease with him. One of the main things I loved about Romain was the compassion and affection shown to every animal here, always taking time to interact and show kindness. It was something that came naturally to him and the animals loved him for it. The other really special thing about him is the care he showed to two animals prior to us losing them when he was here. He was so kind, caring and gentle and the animals would’ve sensed that and at a sanctuary that provides all round care to animals some of which have been abused it means everything. I know whatever Romain goes on to do in the future he will be a massive success. We really hope to be seeing him again in the future, he will always be welcome.
