great experience at a great hostel. owners gave a lot of freedom and flexibility to really get creative in the social host role. I had a lot of fun and gained amazing experience. the hostel itself is a great facility and in an amazing location! I had a

Femke came in and immediately understood what needed attention here. I barely had to explain anything — she just saw what needed care and took initiative right away. She arrived during a time when we were a bit short-staffed, and her support made a real difference. She helped across the board: daily tasks, organizing things, working on the menu, even photography — just generally taking ownership and improving whatever she touched. Great attitude, high energy, and very easy to work with. Also, Femke—one of the kittens will be named after you. They’re still nameless for now 🙂 We miss you already and hope to see you again somewhere soon.

Andy and Dalina are truly going above and beyond to provide their kids the best life possible and we feel so grateful that we had the chance to stay at Sanctuary under the Stars! Besides of caring for the animals, our favorite part of the day was playing board games with them in the evening! Since they are still in the process of building/improving the whole Sanctuary and they're based in the middle of nowhere, everything is very basic. However if you don't mind that and you love to spend time with likeminded people, a lot of beautiful animals & being able to see the stars at night this is the perfect place for you! We definitely will never forget this experience and are happy to have met Andy and Dalina <3

I had Taylor and her brother staying with me for over a week. They were a great team and an absolute delight to have around. She was really diligent and efficient and did a great job of everything I asked and also was great company. I can highly recommend her!

I absolutely loved my time with GG!! This was my very first Workaway experience and GG made it to an unforgettable one. She's a very kind woman who communicates everything very clearly. That makes working extremely easy! The moment I arrived, she created a very welcoming and warm atmosphere. The caravan is super lovely and I enjoyed cocking with the home-grown veggies! It's easy to talk to GG and I'll miss our evenings spent cocking and watching our travel show! Don't hesitate to stay with her -- you won't regret it! I'm definitely visiting when I'm in New Zealand again! Thank you so much GG for our time together! Just thinking about it brings me joy!!

The host is a really kind person, we get proper meals twice a day, and the room is clean. It was my first time visiting Nakhon Sawan, but I really like this place — there are many nice people and plenty of shops. I quickly became friends with the other volunteers, and I’m sure we’ll see each other again even after this volunteer experience ends

We stayed with Ruth and Mark for 2,5 weeks the first time and came back for another week at the end of our trip in New Zealand. We really enjoyed staying at their place because of the varied rewarding tasks. Such as collecting wood, gardening, building a fence and our favorite; doing the cows in the morning with Abbi. We loved every dinner during our stay and enjoyed the times we played card games. Their house is full of kindness from the warm-hearted and thoughtful people and animals, however it may not be for everyone because it is a quite busy household. Furthermore, we will miss all the dogs and the beautiful sunsets from the deck. Thank you so much Ruth and Mark for letting us stay at your place twice and trusting us with your animals when you were away.

my experience here it was the most relaxing and satisfyingly . the owners are incredibly friendly and laid back. they speak English perfectly and honestly take care of yoy, your needs you comfort you food. they don't ask for anything in return if not to add a little or your personal touch the pace, which could be by painting, building, farming, hosting, basically whatever you do best! they will give you green light to express yourself freely , creatively or in whatever way you want. the only daily "must do" ? scaring away the monkeys during the day with a sling shot, and to water the plants every evening because it was dry season. the other projects are all up to you. you will also meet to most friendly neighborhood, where they all help each order daily regarding everything. Legend is the legend in town ,and Man own the coffe bar restaurant in front. amazing people and amazing food, although the food is never missing at the camping:) the pace it's big , with a river, and gives you Al lot of options on how to use it. there are often other long stay volunteers as that are all happy to take care of the place together . amazing work exachange! thank you forever MD!

Jeane and Esther, I have experiences to work with Jeane and Esther for one week at my school which located in Battambang Cambodia. We have a great memories even just one week. They both did very great job to support the kids and teachers at school. They are very creative idea to bring some change to school during their working. As the school director, I am really impressive and thankful for their value time to be apart at my school and family. I really love both of them very much. They are amazing volunteers. Our children, teachers and family really miss them already. We really hope to meet them again in the near future. Best wishes.

Flora is an absolute amazingly, inspiring person. We had fun, and we got a lot done! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Flora comes with a lot of experience in household, kitchen, cooking and gardening chores, so she could easily accomplish any tasks that were on my list. She helped get the house cleaned for my big whanau visit, did the weeding, cleaned the driveway, picked fruit and helped with processing. I would have Flora back any time ... ! Kakite and happy travels!

Irina es una inspiración de fortaleza y aventura. Tanto ella como sus hijos perrunos te dan una cálida bienvenida desde el principio. Para mí ella fue mi familia, me ayudó con mucho y siempre estuvo dispuesta y con buena energía para hacerme sentir cómoda y contenta . Terminamos forjando una relación de amigas pero también a veces mamá-hija. Me hizo pasar un maravilloso e inolvidable tiempo en la isla y sinceramente la experiencia que me llevó en el corazón de todo mi viaje por Tailandia. Como recomendación importante para viajeros: - Cambia suficiente dinero antes de tomar el bote a la isla. Vas a gastar más de lo que piensas si quieres disfrutar al máximo. Y el cambio en la isla no es bueno. - Si tienes tiempo antes de subir al bote haz todas las compras que necesites en Ranong o en la península. Ya que en la isla te vas a encontrar con todo lo que necesites pero a un precio más alto obviamente por ser una isla. Entonces para cigarrillos, cervezas, comida, frutas, REPELENTE DE MOSQUITOS Y PROTECTOR SOLAR.

A small shared living community just outside Black Creek, in a quiet area very close to Miracle Beach. The group operates independently, mainly helping Kolby with his work in the garden or around the house. There is plenty to do, and you can also organize your own working hours. Kolby cooks a fantastic dinner every day. In the mornings and at lunchtime, you usually take care of yourself from the fridge or eat leftovers. On some days, Kolby works away from home, giving you free time or the chance to work independently as you prefer. I was also able to take days off when I planned an excursion. The evenings at the beach are breathtaking. Kolby is a fun guy who helps with the work, assigns tasks based on your strengths, and has extensive knowledge of gardening and edible plants, which he is happy to share. We laughed a lot together, and the final evening—when his girlfriend was back—was amazing. I also spent my free time with others in the shared house, which I really enjoyed. It was a great experience. Thank you so much guys for this amazing time🤗☀️💕🐳

It has been wonderful to have Niamh as a volunteer after we had been away from the project for some time without receiving volunteers. 🌟 She proved to be the perfect person to restart with—friendly, communicative, easy-going, and incredibly participative. Although her stay was brief, we quickly felt very comfortable with her, almost as if she had been a long-time roommate. For me, it's important to create safe and trusting spaces where communication flows naturally and there's plenty of flexibility, and I believe she was able to take full advantage of this environment. Niamh was always ready to participate in all the different activities we organized, whether they were related to permaculture and community gardens or more social outings aimed at building and strengthening community 🌱 What was particularly beautiful, as a Latin American, was witnessing her effort to learn Spanish. In a short amount of time, she developed quite fluent speech with very good pronunciation—something refreshing! At the beginning of her stay, she understood some words and basic phrases, but by her return for her second stay, we could have a basic conversation in Spanish. Her progress was incredibly exciting and rewarding to see. The dynamic flowed very naturally throughout her time with us. We would be very happy to have her back again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her to other projects. 💚

Jasmin and her family made our stay in Tasmania the most exiting, comfortable and lovely we could have imagined! When you are in luck to see her announcement, and you are fine with an easy lifestyle and no luxury in the classic way, you should definitely meet them all. The first moments Jas showed us around and explained the work, she said "mostly, i want you to enjoy yourself". And this was a promise she kept. The first time we were confused with all the freedom. The work was gardening and woodsplitting and we helped where we could, with the things that came up so everybody can enjoy their freetime. Mostly we stayed on our own with food and slept in our car but "sharing is caring" became reality before we thought about it. You can be part of a nice little community, if it fits. We feel very sad to leave, thats the only bad thing about it. We found friends and family in this magic place. Thank you all for the time together. We have to see again, bye!

Lukas was an excellent workaway guest. He did the assigned tasks willingly and cheerfully, even when the weather wasn't great. He didn't need a lot of direction and completed tasks efficiently. Lukas was a quiet and respectful guest who followed house rules, and was clean and tidy. He was very attentive of Kitty and cared well for my home when I was away. I'd recommend Lukas without reservation.

Our time at Jill's was the perfect start to our journey in New Zealand. We spent two weeks with her and William and I don't think we will ever forget them! We shared stories, ideas, laughs and it was exactly what we needed to be in such a peaceful place with kind people. We learnt so much about syntropy which really inspired us to think more deeply about nature and how we might even start a garden of our own one day! Jill trusted us to do the work and everything was explained clearly. We fell into a great routine while at Jill's and there was a perfect balance of work and down time. We are so thankful to Jill and William for everything they shared with us and we will forever have a connection to them and their beautiful garden.

Karla was a very kind and gracious host who took in myself, Morgan and Laurens last minute due to a bad workaway host that we had to leave. Even though she told us she was not prepared for workawayers yet, Karla and Milo made sure that we had warm spaces to sleep and Milo even went out of his way to put a diesel heater inside of the summer cabin so that it would be warm enough for one of us to sleep in. She often left us cookies and bought us delicious sourdough bread among other kitchen staples. She was a very gentle and kind person who seemed to have a big heart, regardless of the circumstances of life. The work was labourous for this portion of the season but we didn't mind too much as Karla had such a big heart and wanted to help her. I bet the garden will be lovely come summer time! The ad is up to date and I would recommend spending some time at Karla's property and enjoying the beautiful area and very nice people. We will be back I'm sure in the future.

Lilu is an extraordinary young woman. Loving and caring. She has a very soft energy and having her at home was a blessing. She is also a great cook. I will love to have her back anytime. And of course I definitely recommend her. She is absolutely great. ☀️🙏

Luca And Ellie were great Hosts. I stayed in the bungalow and honestly.. the best night's sleep ive had in Thailand. Litterly a stone throw away from your own beach. This was my first workaway experience, and I hope the rest of the places will be this groovy. Ellies cooking and secret recepie ice cream made the stay feel like a real family home. The boat is cool and I hope to see Luca sailing the 7 seas soon!

I had an amazing time with Katherine and Paul in Bellingen. we ate great home cooked food and the little cottage was cozy and comfortable. Paul and Katherine trusted me to work independently and complete the jobs they needed. The property is lovely surrounding by lush plants and is nice and quiet at nighttime for a peaceful nights sleep. Paul and Katherine made lovely meals and we all ate together and had great conversations. They are such kind and welcoming hosts I would recommend them to any volunteer workers coming to the area! Thank you guys I really appreciated you hospitality :)
