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!

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!

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.

Eloy & Jose fueron muy amables y nos ayudaron mucho durante su estadia.

Mai was helping for 3 weeks and we have no complains, she is very enthusiastic and have many skills to share, she has a beautiful art in several areas: painting, playing guitar, singing. Thanks and hope to see you again

Maxime & Cassandra was 2 weeks with us, really with us. They did not just work, they did everything with enthusiasm and dedication. They are people with very good energy. We wish them a lot of wonderful experiance.

I stayed with Karen for 10 days in March 2026 & it was a very enjoyable experience. Karen is very friendly, enthusiastic & helpful - & she asks for very little in return for a lovely room with a view over the old town of Cuenca. I did one hour of housekeeping maybe 5 times during my 10 days, a little bit of cooking, & I attended her book club as they were reading a book by an Irish author. Cuenca is a lovely town surrounded by gorges & wonderful landscapes; it is also just an hour by train to Madrid and Valencia, & a bus runs from the bus station to the train station, which is outside of the town. Overall, it was a fantastic cultural exchange & I would recommend it to anyone who loves walking, meeting new people, & experiencing real Spain, away from the costas. Thank you, Karen!

My sister Fatima, thank you so much for the wonderful efforts you made with children, both young and old. You were the best teacher and educator. We learned correct English pronunciation from you. We traveled together and had a wonderful time. Fatima has high morals, prepares her lessons meticulously, and gives the children all the talents we have. I hope you will visit us soon. I and the children miss you. We love you so much .we wait you visit us soon

Paso a Paz is a beautiful, creative, welcoming space that really invites many ways of expression and experience. Kike is an amazing host, being a very caring and open minded individual that encourages dance, playfulness, creativity while giving space for any others kinds of experiences. It felt like a co- creation, learning from one another in many different way and spending a connecting and special time. Very grateful for this experience and would always come back😊

John y Ludmi fueron una ayuda fantástica! Siempre proactivos, creativos con el trabajo y muy divertidos de tener cerca. Se integration genial en nuestra familia y en la finca y nos encantaría recibirle de nuevo. Dieron unas Clases de gimnasia hermosas y son excelentes cocineros

Al8ce and Cat stayed with us for two weeks. We enjoyed the moment together. We shared the experience and teach English for kids. Alice and Cat helped me create the video and took a very nice photoes. I am so happy to host them they are so nice people. I highly recommend that you won't be regret if you host them. Thank you

Jérémy est resté avec nous environ deux mois. Tout de suite, nous avons aimé son franc parler, son absence de gêne. Avec une bonne communication, nous avons pu ajuster notre relation au temps et nos attentes. Jérémy vit dans le moment présent : très investi et attentif de chaque membre de la famille. La priorité est l’humain. Les enfants ont adoré apprendre : Jérémy est un excellent pédagogue, patient, curieux, passionné par les sciences. Entre adultes, nous avons aussi eu des conversations riches et passionnantes. Nous partageons l’amour de la bonne bouffe. Jérémy cuisine très bien. Une belle expérience et une amitié qui perdure.

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Cleo. Die Katzen haben mein Herz maximal erobert und ich vermisse sie unfassbar. Ich hab in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so viele freundliche Katzen getroffen, die vor allem fürs Bauch kraulen offen sind! Und das bei um die 70 Katzen 🐱 Die Arbeit dreht sich rund ums säubern der cat shelter und das Haus. Ab und zu gibt's auch mal Gartenarbeit. Die Kuschelpausen mit den Katzen beim Arbeiten, lassen die Arbeit eigentlich gar nicht wie Arbeit wirken. Man hat ein eigenes Zimmer und ist mit Essen bestens versorgt. ABER: am besten waren natürlich die Fahrten mitm Auto durch den Fluss😂 Ich wünsche allen das Beste! Und bin froh bei Cleo mein erstes workaway verbracht zu haben 🩷 I had an amazing time at Cleo’s. The cats completely stole my heart, and I miss them so much. I’ve honestly never met so many friendly cats in my life—especially ones that are so open to belly rubs! And that with around 70 cats 🐱 The work mainly involves cleaning the cat shelter and the house. Every now and then there’s also some gardening. The cuddle breaks with the cats during work make it not feel like work at all. You get your own room, and the food situation is great—you’re very well taken care of. BUT: the absolute highlight was definitely the car rides through the river 😂 Wishing everyone all the best! I’m really happy that I got to spend my first Workaway experience at Cleo’s 🩷

Lucy stayed with us for a month and we couldn't get enough of her peaceful energy! She is a very understanding and calm person, full of new ideas. She taught English to our students from different levels and she was able to adjust to each person's needs. We had only good feedback about her during and after her stay. We would love to host her again anytime she wants <3

Irini and Vassilis hosted me last minute and immediately made me feel at home. Despite their busy schedule they found moments to spend together and made sure I had everything I need. The tasks were light and it is a pleasure being around them. Also the area is beautiful and their friends I met were very nice. Thank you so much!

It was Freddy's first volunteering experience. It was a great pleasure to meet him and have him with us. He can do almost everything, he is very manual and takes care of the details. He is always welcome to us. Thank you so much!

Annie was absolutely fantastic! She adapted to the life in the shelter with no issue and always found something that needed to be done, always going an extra mile, super easy to have around and lovely company, the dogs adored her and she even learnt to deal with our mean duck. We really enjoyed having Annie here and she's welcome to come back any time!!!!
