Dimitrij was a huge help to me. A very independent and calm roommate. A very honest person with a lot of experience. He took care of everything he could and saw where help was needed. This sense of responsibility is desirable. Thank you so much for your time and help. Dimitrij me ayudó muchísimo. Un compañero de piso muy independiente y tranquilo.

Muchísimas gracias por tu tiempo y ayuda. Dimitrij war mir eine sehr große Hilfe. Sehr unabhängig und ruhiger Mitbewohner. Eine sehr korrekte Person mit viel Erfahrung. Er hat mir alles abgenommen, was er konnte und hat gesehen wo es nötig ist. Diese Zuverlässigkeit kann man sich nur wünschen. Vielen Dank für deine Zeit und Hilfe.

Robin only stayed a few days, but he was always attentive and present when help was needed. We have a fun jam, a nice meal and Robin spent some time reflecting and planning on an upcoming build project. Lovely person highly recommend!

I stayed with Juniper and her family when they still lived in Germany. My days consisted of relaxed mornings, walks and games of fetch with the dogs, cooking and housework, and lots of conversation about everything under the sun. Every day was a little different: I was never bored and I always had plenty of time for myself. Juniper had a wonderful community of friends and family in Germany—I met many of the people in her life and always felt welcome. I’m so excited for her move to Thailand and can’t wait to visit her there sometime soon. I know she’ll build a great community for herself there too. This is the perfect Workaway for anyone who loves animals, good food, and great conversation and also likes knowing that some downtime will be available each day too. Highest recommendation!

It has taken us a few months to write this but we really wanted to make sure we got to say what a wonderful time we had at Ally and Mick's last fall! They immediately made us feel so comfortable in their magical, sunshine home. They were always so generous and welcoming, feeding us delicious meals, fresh milk and incredible sourdough bread. During our stay we learned a lot about what it takes to build and run a tree nursery, and raise a beautiful, hardworking family at the same time. We spent our days with our other volunteer friend collecting nuts, processing them and planting them. It was a good balance of work and rest, and there is an enchanting forest that surrounds their home that we were able to roam in for hours! We will always fondly remember the few weeks we spent with their lovely family, it holds such a special place in our hearts. From black walnut stains to spongy the duck, along with all the other sweet, silly creatures! We wish you all the best, and hope the winter has treated you well, and the new growing season does too... and the new land! Hugs from Sally and D!

Joshua was a wonderful volunteer at the rescue homestead. A quiet and considerate person. He was very diligent with his work and such a help around the house. All the cats liked him, eventually even the scaredy cats did also. Josh fitted well into the household. He is a very lovely person and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any host.

Marco is a great host, very welcoming, easy to communicate with, and genuinely kind and creative in everything he does. The place is beautiful and peaceful, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay. Thank you so much for such a great welcome and some House of Book magic. It was fun and fantastic :)

Anna was a delight to host. She soon felt like family and I have certainly missed her since she went back to Germany. Anna was a diligent worker, considerate and very sweet natured. I truly lovely human being. The cats in the household absolutely loved her. That is so important as they need affection as well as their daily care. Anna was very trustworthy and responsible when I had to go away for a few days. She ran the whole house and rescue. So mature for one so young. I truly hope Anna gets to come back to visit or stay again one day.

I had a great time on the farm and really enjoyed my stay. I liked working around the house and helping with tasks on the farm—it felt meaningful and rewarding. Sabine was very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also really enjoyed spending time with the animals. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’m grateful for it.

Lucas’s house is a little paradise 🌴✨ I spent 20 days in Maraú and felt a kind of peace there that’s rare to find. The apartment is super comfortable, fully equipped, and the beach is just a short walk away with beautiful natural pools nearby. The work is mostly gardening, taking care of plants, and looking after the animals when Lucas is away! He’s very flexible, no strict schedule, just get things done in your own rhythm. The 4 cats and the dog super cute and it's amazing just to spend time with them and cuddle them, and I really enjoyed my morning and evening walk with Moe🦮🥰 Lucas is a very polite, relaxed and kind person. He really made me feel super welcome from the moment I arrived. We had great conversations, we shared great meals, and I loved listening to his stories about the sea. Lucas you're the best💙 🫂 Grateful for my time there. I will definitely go back to visit Lucas one day. I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for some peace and good vibes ✨

I am Ari from Lombok Indonesia very happy to recommend Lina and Zuzanna as a volunteer for any teaching project on Workaway. Lina and Zuzanna has a natural ability to connect with students and create a welcoming learning atmosphere. Her patience, communication skills, She approaches teaching with creativity and adaptability, always making sure that students feel comfortable, motivated, and supported. Beyond she teaching abilities, she is reliable, respectful, and very easy to work with. She collaborates well with teams, respects local cultures, and consistently contributes to a positive community environment. I strongly recommend Linq and Zuzanna to any host looking for a committed and inspiring volunteer for teaching projects. She would be a valuable addition to any program

My time with Loretta was simply wonderful..She is a sweet and marvelous person who treated me like a member of her family. I really appreciated that she respected my pace and what I already knew how to do, and for the things I didn’t know, she was incredibly patient and taught me everything with a positive attitude. In the afternoons, she took the time to help me with my English! The environment was also great.. I met many of her friends, made new friendships, and had a lot of fun. I felt very well taken care of and truly part of her circle. I believe we'll be friends forever. and my family and I will be forever grateful.

Kim is a beautiful woman, and I especially remember how lovely she looked wearing her sunglasses. Kim is courageous, inspiring, and full of positive energy. She enthusiastically helped break stones from the old building structure and worked hard to create an extra level space for me to build a bathroom together with her friend Benedetta. Her dedication, strength, and cheerful spirit made a real difference, and I truly appreciated having her here. I still remember taking her to the moon festival in the nearby village and also to see Narangala Mountain. I wish her all the best!

Wonderfull hospitality, amazing project and the most lovely people ever!! Learned so much from you guys and I am very grateful for having the opportunity to participate in your project! A true gem in Bahia. Thanks once again for all you have done you guys are the best.

Luca was a good workawayer and a friend! He helped me so much building the foundation for a cabin in the forest and making new paths in the woods. He is always ready to start with the works and help in the kitchen. We also had deep conversations and we become friends in not so much time! Hope he will come back soon! A good advice from him that I'll never forget is: *For the best things we need to be patient"

J’ai eu la chance de vivre une expérience profondément humaine au Bénin, chez Hortense… et les mots peinent presque à traduire ce que j’ai ressenti. Pendant un mois, j’ai partagé le quotidien de cette famille exceptionnelle. Là-bas, je n’ai pas seulement rencontré les enfants d’Hortense : j’ai créé avec eux des liens sincères, forts, presque indescriptibles. Aujourd’hui encore, je les considère comme de véritables amis, comme une seconde famille. Rien que d’y repenser, mon cœur se remplit d’émotion et de gratitude. La maison d’Hortense est un véritable cocon : chaleureuse, accueillante, avec tout le confort nécessaire une chambre privée, une salle de bain, une cuisine à disposition… Mais au-delà du lieu, c’est l’âme de la maison qui marque. L’hospitalité, la générosité, les rires partagés… tout est authentique. Hortense nous laisse aussi une grande liberté pour découvrir le Bénin à notre rythme. On organise ses journées comme on le souhaite, entre immersion, rencontres et découvertes de ce pays magnifique. Mais aujourd’hui, Hortense a besoin de soutien pour faire vivre son école, pour continuer à offrir un avenir à ces enfants incroyables. Il est possible de l’aider : en partageant son histoire sur les réseaux sociaux, en créant des cagnottes solidaires, en mobilisant des dons, ou même en cherchant des subventions auprès d’associations et d’organisations. Chaque geste compte. Je recommande cette expérience les yeux fermés. C’est bien plus qu’un voyage : c’est une rencontre qui change quelque chose en vous. Et moi, c’est sûr… j’y retournerai ❤️

Danny and Jagoda are wonderful, very considerate thoughtful and creative, they worked well with all the tasks especially in the handyman areas, they also helped in house and kitchen, getting on well with everyone . They were very productive with the art work and left us some beautiful pieces, we can recommend them to any host

I had a wonderful time helping and staying with Peter, Mayu, and Bobby! I stayed with them towards the end of the ski season for one month and they were absolutely lovely hosts. I helped with cleaning houses for their property management business and a little snow clearing, and even though there wasn't as much work as there should have been due to a lack of snow, it was still a great experience and I was happy to help out however I could. Mayu was great at organising extra activities like having a couple nice meals out and giving us a chance to try a snow shoeing and apple tree care experience! She also cooked up some delicious dishes including a hot pot (thank you :] ). It was really nice to have some other friendly workaways to spend time with too. Recommend visiting Nagano and Joetsu if you can! Peter and Mayu will both often offer lifts to places, like the info centre which is a really nice place to get some personal work done. Also recommend brushing up your Uno skills ;) And Bobby is just a delightful menace of a cat, who I hope continues to get better from his injuries after being rescued. Thank you for the lovely time!

Raquel and Kacper stayed for more than 6 weeks with us, they proved to be a very nice and prudent couple. They took care of our property during our 2 weeks aboard and upon arrival our dogs were very much fond of them . Kacper is a technician and he helped with lot of jobs whereas they both did also some major painting jobs. We give our full recommendation

I spent two wonderful weeks here. MD and his wife were kind and treated us very well. The schedule is also completely flexible, allowing you to organize your workday as you prefer to avoid the hottest times of day. During my stay, my work mainly consisted of scaring the monkeys away from the durian blossoms and watering the plants and flowers daily, in addition to other projects like building a piece of furniture out of bamboo. We also prepared the beds before the guests arrived. The work leaves you with free time to relax in the hammocks or cool off in the river. We usually cook our own meals, although MD occasionally brings delicious local dinners and desserts for us to try. The location is beautiful, situated by the river in a valley surrounded by jungle in the surrounding mountains, which allows you to see numerous birds and animals in the area. I especially recommend it for independent travelers, as the owner, MD, has been very busy with work lately and can't come to the campsite until late. Thanks to MD for creating this place and making this great experience possible.

Thank you so much for everything! I really enjoyed my time with you, your family, and the fur babies (Noodle really kept me company at all times, so sweet). I felt welcomed and enjoyed hearing regarding your involvement in the city and different causes you are working towards, also appreciate all the recommendations around the city and the teachings about the plants in the area. I am glad I got to help making the trail and having it all ready to go before leaving; the weather seemed to have been changing up a bit, but glad there were home projects I could help with to keep busy during the rainy days. Thank you also for teaching me make tinctures, oil infusions, and allowing me to help collecting eggs and enjoying them for breakfast - such a cool experience! Wishing you all the best.
