Anja stayed with us for 3 weeks, it was a lovely exchange. i found her to be a quirky, intelligent, caring person. She made good bonds with everyone she met here. Anja done varies jobs like looking after my dogs and cats, setting up accounts to sell clothing online for me, cleaning, organising my garage, shes not scared to get her hands dirty, she helped me with manual labour jobs around the garden. She's also a great cook, I wish her the very best on her journey.

Dionny et Allan sont incroyables, c'est très plaisant de pouvoir échanger avec eux. Allan nous a même organisé une partie de futbol avec les locaux. L'horaire est très flexible et m'a permis de faire plusieurs hike. Allan offre de très bon conseil pour les randonnées!

The time we spent with Nowelle was a treasure and and a joy. She is a fantastic person and a very good chef and baker. We miss her every day and welcome her back any day.

Michal has been a blessing for us. He took over a lot of responsibility and was up for every task. He helped with every type of work and was always up for social moments within the group. Even the, by him initiated nighwalks became and established thing in the group :) Super grateful for his help and his support - we hope to have him back in the future.

Sonny arrived at our place by Motorbike, all the way from Norway which was super impressive. He was a great help. Super hard working, very friendly, and bonded really well with the group. We were happy for his support.

I am very thankful for this experience! Tom ist a kind, friendly host, the work on the farm is easy and makes absolutely happy in this stunning landscape. Wilma the dog is funny and lovely, too - as same the chickens. The food is soooo nice and fresh and the apartment in the house, where I lived in, is modern and beautiful. The olives are magic as well as the nature there. The village is only 5 min walk away - so I recommend Tom absolutely!

Luis is a special character in the best way possible. He helped us a lot and he has been a great addition to the group with all his stories from his travels, the languages that he speaks and the adventures he has experiences. Extremely kind and warm hearted person. We were lucky to have had him at our space.

Vilgot is a super nice guy. He was really helpful and hard working.

I joined the program at the request of the host. They needed English speakers near Berlin and the travel dates fit my schedule perfectly! I was able to take a bus from Berlin to Poznan. The program was excellent. I would definitely do it again if offered the opportunity. I did only give 4 stars for communication because we had a miscommunication. I didn't know I would be responsible for paying for my hotel room the first night in Poznan after the welcome meal. This was as much my own fault but the host helped take care of the situation. After the first night, everything was perfect. I loved the students and was amazed at the progress they made. I started off trying a bit too hard to just communicate, but I learned by the second day that the students love even the smallest correction. I highly recommend this as a way to see more of the Polish countryside. And will look for similar programs in other locales.

Niklas was an absolute pleasure to host, and we feel truly grateful that he chose to stay with us. From the very beginning, he was kind, respectful, and easy to be around, quickly becoming a natural part of our daily life. He brought great energy and a positive attitude, and his help (especially with photography) was exceptional. The quality of his work honestly exceeded my expectations and added so much value to what we do. He was always willing to contribute, attentive to details, and genuinely cared about making a difference. Beyond his skills, Niklas is simply a wonderful person to have around, thoughtful, friendly, and open-minded. My family and I shared such beautiful moments with him, and those memories will stay with us for a long time. I also truly appreciate the trust he showed in me by booking his Kilimanjaro climb and safari through my company. That support meant a lot to me, both personally and professionally. I can wholeheartedly recommend Niklas to any host. He will not only contribute with his skills but also leave a positive and lasting impression wherever he goes. We will always welcome him back with open arms and hope our paths cross again someday

We spent about 40 days at Grazia and Antonio's house, and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had! We truly formed a family bond; sharing time and conversations with them was the best part. They opened their home to us, we tried new local dishes, shared experiences, and became part of their routine with their animals and daily life. We had a room with a private bathroom, and we were in charge of feeding the animals and often cooking (especially vegetables we had never eaten before!!! hahaha Grazia always bought us meat because she knows we love it). We also tidied up and cleaned parts of their house. We took away the best memories and hope to return soon! They are all part of our story. We adore them!

Gracias amigo por entender la nueva forma de vivir y por toda la ayuda que me brindaste la vida sigue y encontrarás personas que piensan igual que tú feliz viaje amigo gracias por todo nos vemos en la montaña suya

Volunteering here was great! I extended my stay by a month and had a really good time. The hostel is very clean and organized and it’s a really good vibe. I highly recommend!

We stayed two weeks in March at Jutta's and Marco's little self-sufficient farm and welcomed us warmly at their place. It's truly a special place and you can tell that they've been putting their heart and soul into creating a living in harmony with nature. We learned a lot about self-sufficiency and got inspired to dive even deeper into it. Jutta loves to share her knowledge and she really pampered us with her homemade dishes with fresh ingredients directly from their farm. Our room was super comfortable attached with an own bathroom which we really enjoyed as well as the cozy living room with the oven creating a warm atmosphere in the house. We mainly helped outside with trimming trees, getting rid of thorny plants and helping Marco to refurnish the chicken coop. We made most of the sunny days and keeping it more relaxed when it was pouring outside. Helping to create cheese and butter at a friend's farm was definitely one of our highlights. Thank you again so much for having us and hopefully join you again at another time of the year.

Thank you Hugh and Jane for being welcoming and generous hosts. I had so much fun during the month I stayed there. During the day we all got to spent time in the sun working on the vines and in the garden. At meal times Hugh and Jane made sure that we always lots of amazing food and wine in the evenings. And they both kept everyone entertained with their funny stories and naughty jokes. During my free time I got to go and explore the local area which was beautiful. We got to spend time with their friends and family aswell which great! I learnt so much during my time there like how they do smoked cheese and smoked mackerel. I also really enjoyed spending time with the other workawayers Andreas and Andrea!

Queridos voluntários, Lucas e Olivia. Gostaríamos de deixar registrado o nosso mais sincero agradecimento pela presença e dedicação de vocês durante o tempo em que participaram do nosso projeto. Foi um grande privilégio contar com um casal tão comprometido, generoso e cheio de boa vontade. A contribuição de vocês ensinando inglês, dança, espanhol e francês foi extremamente valiosa para todos nós. Mais do que compartilhar conhecimentos, vocês trouxeram alegria, motivação e novas experiências culturais que marcaram profundamente cada participante do projeto. Vocês demonstraram paciência, carinho e um verdadeiro espírito de voluntariado, inspirando todos ao redor. O impacto do trabalho de vocês certamente continuará sendo sentido por muito tempo. Somos muito gratos por tudo o que fizeram e desejamos que continuem levando essa energia positiva e transformadora para onde forem. Muito obrigado por fazerem parte da nossa história!

Anna and Johanna stayed with us for two weeks and were an absolute pleasure to host. They were friendly, easygoing, and fit into daily life here right away. During their stay, they helped with a wide range of projects. We tackled a big job in the vegetable garden—pulling weeds, topping it up with a ton of soil and manure, and planting over 120 seedlings. Their help made a huge difference and the garden is thriving because of their effort. They also spent time in my pottery studio, helping me paint pieces, which I really appreciated. In the second week, we worked together on improving the front garden—digging out rocks, building a small brick border, and plastering it. The final result looks fantastic and we’re really proud of what we accomplished together. Beyond the work, it was a lovely experience sharing time with them. We were able to visit the beach and enjoy a cave and dolphin boat tour together, and they also had plenty of time to explore the Portuguese coast in the afternoons. They were respectful of the house, leaving everything clean and tidy, and worked really well as a team. Overall, Anna and Johanna were a great help on our old Portuguese farm, and we would happily recommend them to any future hosts.

I stayed with Jay during 10 days, and it was an amazing experience. We've been working on a eco-building project together. Jay is used to host volunteers ; he is very patient, communicates very well and knows how to adapt to the helpers. It was very easy to live and work with him. He knows a lot about farming, nature, plants, self-sufficiency, building, recycling and he's always happy to share his knowledge. He's also a very curious and open person and he's happy to be thought new things as well. I felt at ease during my stay. He's also a great cook and prepares delicious breakfasts 😉! (with garden plants/herbs and fresh eggs : amazing) The property is absolutely beautiful and very calm. I loved this place, I wished I stayed longer. I've learned so much!

I had an amazing time with Sophie, she’s an incredible host! I always felt truly seen and fully included in her and her daughter’s life (a great daughter of a great mom!). You immediately feel on the same level, and it’s clear that she has a lot of travel experience herself. She’s very open, inspiring, and always has an ear to listen :) She worked alongside us, so it never felt like work and everything was relaxed and fun. I loved helping with the clay walls of the outdoor shower. She also cooked delicious meals, and it was fun to cook for the group as well. We all got along really well, and the atmosphere was always relaxed. Campfires and Hanno’s pizzas were definite highlights! My accommodation was beautiful and had everything I needed. She also made sure I got to see a lot of the surrounding area, including beaches, nearby towns, and the market. Overall, I felt like part of a family and would love to come back! I can highly recommend staying with Sophie.

I was supposed to stay for two weeks, but I ended up staying for a whole month and honestly, I wish I could have stayed even longer. In Chom Thong, I met amazing people. PJ and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuine. From the very beginning, they made me feel at home. During my stay, we built a clay house together with other Workawayers. The work was relaxed, fun, and never too demanding. PJ was always happy to share stories about Thai culture and farm life. We also had plenty of free time to do our own things whether it was working remotely, exploring the surroundings, or visiting the national park nearby. And after work? Time to relax! We often went to the nearby waterfalls to cool off, it was the perfect way to end the day. I stayed in a tent at first, which was cozy and comfortable. After a big storm, PJ kindly moved us into a room in the hostel (it was low season), where I spent the last two weeks. The food deserves a special mention: it was some of the best Thai and international food I’ve ever had in Thailand, absolutely delicious every day. Leaving Chom Thong was not easy. I truly felt at home there, and I’ll definitely come back again.
