Gracias, Pilar, por todo lo que has hecho. He apreciado mucho tu acogida, tu amabilidad y tu forma de comunicarte: eres clara, receptiva y siempre respetuosa, lo que inspira confianza desde el principio. Te tomas el tiempo necesario para explicar las cosas, ofreces un marco serio y, al mismo tiempo, sabes escuchar y ser flexible cuando es necesario. Se nota que quieres que todo salga bien para todos, y eso realmente cambia la experiencia. Gracias a ti, me he sentido cómodo y bien acompañado, con una organización sencilla y una comunicación fluida. Te doy las gracias sinceramente y te recomiendo sin dudarlo a cualquiera que busque a alguien fiable, humano y muy amable.

My time at the hostel was really great and chill. I met people from all over the world, made new friends, and discovered different and incredible places in Lebanon. The work is very relaxed and the team is very nice and honest, which is very important in the world of volunteering. The owner is very nice and is always willing to show you places in the country, where to go, eat, and see. I'm really happy and glad to volunteered here. Thank you Hichan for accepting me was a pleasure to meet you and Ana.

Lisa and Phill were an absolute joy to have at the house. They brought great energy, were always smiling, and adapted easily to all the different activities and schedules. Even though we don’t usually host couples, they truly stood out by making the effort to connect deeply with our guests and our family even our little cat austero when he got sick . They didn’t just help—they became friends, and their presence added so much warmth to the experience. We’re very thankful for everything they shared with us and would welcome them back anytime.

Hillary and Rebecca are excellent workers and really lovely people! We very much enjoyed meeting and hosting them. They worked extremely hard, followed instructions intelligently and needed minimal supervision. If they are ever back in Portugal we would love to see them again. In the meantime, we wish them good fortune and happiness in their journey.

It was a pleasure to host Marco and Chiara at our family farm and to accompany them on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek. Throughout both experiences, they were respectful, reliable, and genuinely engaged. At the farm, they contributed enthusiastically to daily activities, including field preparation and planting fruit and spice trees, and showed sincere interest in traditional farming practices and local cuisine. During the trek, they were positive, adaptable, and considerate companions, demonstrating respect for local culture, nature, and the team. We are truly grateful for their time, effort, and positive attitude. We would confidently recommend Marco and Chiara to other hosts and would be happy to welcome them again in the future 🙏

I cannot say enough how incredibly special and memorable my stay was here during the autumn months. I miss 조 and 정선 and the farm a lot! It is located in the mountains, in a beautiful and serene area but easy to get the bus to the nearby city of Gyeongju. 조 with his hilarious jokes, deep farming knowledge and lessons on Buddhism and meditation brought so much joy to each day. 정선 with her delicious food and warm, calming energy taught me the value of mindful cooking and appreciating the small things. Their personalities are so genuine and I am so pleased to have met them. Despite challenging rainy conditions, their positive attitude made the work enjoyable, with plenty of care and breaks when needed. The work days never felt too long and although labour-intensive, it was so rewarding and fun to harvest all the different vegetables and learn so much along the way. 조 and 정선 made me feel completely comfortable and took the time to teach us about organic farming and share wonderful local experiences. I appreciated them occasionally talking in Korean to me and I understood a lot thanks to their patience :). From hiking in the nearby mountains to swimming in the local stream and forming meaningful friendships at the farm, every moment added to how special this experience was. A highlight was making Kimchi together as a team - hard work, but incredibly fulfilling to produce a large amount of kimchi while learning, bonding and laughing together through the process. This whole experience has inspired me deeply and taught me so much, making me eager to explore organic farming for a better environment for us all. I am so grateful to 조 and 정선 for the happy memories that I will carry with me for a long time. 정말 감사합니다 ! 여름에 다시 만나요!

For the last three weeks of December into January I spent a brief time at Gula and Sedat's home. Currently Gula was caring for Sedat in his sickness, and I perhaps didn't get to know them as well as other Workawayers in the past - but I tried to stay out of their hair and let them rest. During the first week there was four other volunteers at various times, and from the second I was by myself. If I could have stayed a bit longer I would have, but commitments elsewhere meant leaving after such a short time unfortunately. At the moment they could do with the help though, if anyone is considering lending a hand. In the Winter the work didn't take up that much of the day. Feeding and watering all the outdoor animals in the morning (and the dogs again in the afternoon), and giving the place a clean (the house is beneath some large trees, so a sweep a few times a day can clear the pine needles, but that's an endless battle...). Otherwise finding other little tasks helped out a bit. The Winter days are shorter now, and most days I'd either take one of the dogs for a walk, go into the village, then be in my room for dark. There's an hourly bus into Antalya and plenty of trails out in the forest to spend your time time trekking. If you could lend a hand then I'm sure you'd be appreciated here. And otherwise have plenty of time to visit the area, and it's sights. I can only thank the pair for hosting me, and it would be great if more people willing to work and help out could visit. :)

Genuinely meeting and living with the amazing Masai people. This was a really positive life-changing experience for me. Salome and Matthew are the warmest hosts. They make sure you feel part of the community in a very short time. The Children love to meet people from other countries. They are happy, positive, and a real pleasure to be with. This is a very very special place. Find out for yourself. Very Best wishes to all here

If you are planning to travel through Karnataka, I highly recommend making a stay here part of your journey. The estate is beautiful and offers peaceful and unique nature. The owners are not present, but they leave you with a very kind and helpful man named Vinod. Vinod cooked all of my meals and made me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable. The coffee picking is relaxing and it is cool to participate in the process that we rely on for our morning cup. Seetha is extremely easy to communicate with and replies fast. She will be on top of anything you need!

Florian and Katharina stayed five weeks with their children on our farm. We had a great time together. Flo and Nina did their jobs like general household tasks, taking care of animals, craft work accurately and with ambition, love and creativity. This beautiful family created delicious food from any available veggies, brought in interesting ideas and we had really good conversations. We are already waiting to welcome them again.

Loane stayed six weeks with us. We had a great time together. Loane connected easily to everyone on the farm and brought sunshine even on grey days. Loane did her jobs like general household tasks, taking care of animals, craft work accurately and with ambition, love and a lot of energy. Loane was always conscious about what ever had to be done. We shared some nice leisure time activities together. We are already waiting to welcome Loane again.

Reese stayed some weeks with us. We had a great time together. Reese connected easily to everyone on the farm and brought sunshine even on grey days. She did her jobs like general household tasks, taking care of animals, craft work accurately and with ambition, love and creativity. Reese creates delicious food from any available veggies. We shared some beautiful leisure time activities together. We are already waiting to welcome Reese again.

My experience for a week with Ester was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience. I supported Ester with basic household tasks like cooking and cleaning, and occasionally taking care of the baby (briefly in the house, while Ester was there) so she could take care of some tasks (especially late morning and late evening). Her son is a sweet and wonderful baby! Ester is very kind, welcoming, and communicative person that really made me feel at home. All my tasks were in conversation and agreement with her. The apartment itself is in a neighbourhood which runs trains every 20 minutes or so to central Barcelona (and you’re there in 20 minutes). This is not a Workaway or a location if you’re into partying or going out late, but if you want to experience daytime Barcelona, it’s perfect. Thank you so much Ester!

They were very active, always swimming in the ocean, running, and cycling around the Izu Peninsula. Eloise helped with cleaning at our guesthouse and was a very polite and reliable worker. Leo took care of our son and daughter, and our son especially loved playing with him. Outside of work, we also spent time together socially. I taught them surfing, and Leo taught me boxing and gym training. Our family has many fond memories with them. Merci!

Aniko spent a good week with me, helping to cut down bushes, trimming the wisteria, showing me many useful things on my I-phone and computer, and even helping me to buy some outdoor gear. We had a wonderful time together - we even went for a few steep hikes, training me for an upcoming trek in the Alps. Aniko is such en energetic person, such a bright and generous character, I really felt so fortunate to get to know her and to be her host. We cooked many times together and I learned some vegan recipes from her too. I only wish her the best ever in her future job and life. And for sure we should meet again!

Lucia mainly helped with the olive harvest and became part of the team very quickly. She is curious, open-minded and confident, with a wide range of skills and a strong ability to adapt. It was a pleasure to host her, and she is welcome back anytime.

If you want to stay in a nicely secluded area and work in a goal oriented enviroment, look no further! I was here for the last month of the olive harvest and found the farm to be a nice quiet place. Mind you there is always something to do but if you don't mind getting your hands dirty you will probably have as nice a stay as i did. The work consists of around five hours a day and the days off are based on when the olives have to be harvested and or brought to the mill. Besides that the food that is available is good (cooking is shared) and the area is great for walks and the people in and around orgiva are mostly colourfull and friendly. I had a blast with chris and the dogs and will shurely be back!

The 10 days spent with Clare and Mike were very delightful - they are an enthousiastic couple, willing to give so much of their creative energy and knockledge into helping me, around the garden, but also in the house, with a few tricky jobs. We had enriching discussions under the cherrytree, during mealtime and in the evenings. Our relationship was very natural and easygoing. I admired the way they travelled on their bikes, and the enthousiasm they showed while staying at my house. Too bad that New Zealand is so far away - I would love to visit your country and spend some time with you again. So sorry for the delay for the feedback, and wishing you all the best for your future.

What a beautiful experience, to have Alex around for almost one month. Alex is an extremely positive person, very calm and really helpful. He's had such incredible good vibes, he's strong, he is patient, he knows to deal with children, cats and dogs, he helps in whatever you need him for and is present when you need him, working the garden, carrying heavy things,repairing little things in the household, installing new furniture, fetching new furniture, helping in the household and anything that he might be needed for. And over all this he's just a dear!!! Alex we allready miss you, and we'd love to have you back here one day? With the very best wishes for your future ❤️, Shakti and Alberto

I had the opportunity to workaway at Said 's place last December for 2 weeks and it was a great experience. Saif and Ismael are two very kind persons who immediately make their home feel yours and who will help you when needed. The work was easy and not big as there were not a lot of customers, I had time to walk in the dunes or read in the silent of the desert. The place is magical just next to beautiful sand dunes and the beginning of the Sahara to do some excursions... Walking to the village of M'Hamid from the camp is easy so you can be independant for going there. Staying there you will also get the chance to meet the travelers coming to the camp which is nice. Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏
