Fantastic experience! These two weeks in Bogotá couldn't be so great without the helping hand of Samuel and the professional attendance of Nancy. Work isn't hard and we've had so much fun in the old and tinted roads of La Candelaria, Bogotá historic center. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the capital for some time! Best luck and see you soon guys 💙 ¡Una experiencia fantástica! Estas dos semanas en Bogotá no serían tan hermosas sin la ayuda de Samuel y la profesional atención de Nancy. El trabajo no es duro y nos lo hemos pasado genial en las calles antiguas y coloridas de La Candelaria, en el centro histórico de la ciudad. ¡Muy recomendable si quieres quedarte un tiempo en la capitál! Mucha suerte y nos vemos pronto chicos 💙

Belissende was a wonderful workaway. She communicated well, completed all of her tasks well and even baked for us. She was good at working inside and outside of our home. She was good with our young children, cleaning and organizing. We enjoyed sharing our languages and showing her around the rockies. I would happily recommend her to other hosts.

Greg, Danna, Robin, and Sam are a stellar family. We had a true soul connection and hope to host them in Bolivia some day. We helped with farm chores (like raking/collecting hay and weeding, etc.), helped with some cooking, driving, and making kimchi etc, and did an overall permaculture plan for the land (initial phase, ideas). Clea and Rio spent hours in tribe with the kids. They really went out of their way to even share their Airbnb with us while we were getting the caravans ready and hosting a brai for Bill's bday party. Oh, and they invited the kids to go to their school one day. Luna and Tobi are such fun dogs. Was hard to leave lovely Vrede. Thank you!

Wilna and Wouter are amazing people. Our family of four spent a fantastic week with them, doing gardening (weeding, pruning, some transplanting), a bit of painting, and playing endlessly with the six dogs (Daisy and Gunner were the kids favorites). Such kind folks and such a stunning property and with so much wildlife. They care for nature and their land and are so interesting to talk with, including Wouter's interview with Clea about current South Africa issues for her homeschooling. Would love to reconnect with them sometime.

Sandra & Vincent came with their Yurt and we spent together an intense community time. They are full of joy, always willing to help, precious. If you get a chance to host them don't hesitate!!

Margaux arrived in a moment that was not easy for us but she managed to adapt and her smile and good vibe despite the situation really helped. She is the kindest and always ready to help! If you have the chance to host her don't hesitate!!

I had a really good time in the hostel. It ‘s very clean, beautiful, with mountains and river view, a functional Gym, that’s really amazing, it’s only 10 mins walk to the town. The owner Miguel is nice, laid back, and easy to communicate. I did reception job, check in and check out, 4 hours and 15 mins per day, the shifts can be different every day , 8am-12:15pm, 12:15 pm-16:30, 16:30-20:45 pm. You have plenty of time to do your own thing. If you wanna take a rest in Pisac, it’s a good place. Thank you Miguel for giving me this opportunity to staying here. All the best!

Loic is a great person to have around, showed a deep capacity to adapt to the group and bring in his own energy, always willing to help with a smile. If you get the chance to host him, don't hesitate one second ! Miss you Loic!

Agathe è arrivata con la sua amica di avventura Tessel e con loro una sferzata di energia giovane. Molto coraggiosa ad affrontare il freddo della mia casa e le scomodità, molto facile comunicare con lei, molta serietà nell' eseguire i compiti richiesti con i miei animali. Molto amore per loro. E molto senso dell' umorismo! Bellissima creatura, bellissima energia. Grazie, grazie davvero.

I had a beautiful experience here. Everyday there is ample time to watch the sun rise over the lake, go swimming, climb trees, lounge in the hammocks, listen to the birds, read, meditate, play with the dogs, hang out with the other volunteers, cook delicious meals, build a campfire, or whatever it is that you like to do. It was delightful to be able to eat the fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs that grow here on the property and to enjoy the abundant fresh air and sunshine. Eliseo was so much fun to hang out with. It is truly a very healthy, stress free place to be.

Tove fue una parte increíble de nuestro proyecto. Estuvo con nosotros aproximadamente dos meses, en dos periodos diferentes, y en ambas ocasiones fue de excelente ayuda. Siempre trabajó con una sonrisa, una energía contagiosa y una actitud súper positiva. Fue responsable, comprometida y muy buena con los huéspedes, quienes conectaron fácilmente con ella. Además, se integró perfectamente al equipo y aportó muy buen ambiente al lugar. La recomendamos muchísimo a cualquier anfitrión. Sin duda sería un gran aporte en cualquier proyecto, y aquí siempre tendrá las puertas abiertas. Gracias, Tove, por todo 💛

Laura stayed with us at the Farm Sanctuary for 7 weeks. She is an incredibly dedicated and hardworking person. Farm sanctuary work is not glamorous.... it’s muddy, physical, repetitive, and often unpredictable, and Laura never once shied away from the hard or dirty jobs. From heavy hay days to deep cleaning shelters to hands-on animal care, she showed up consistently with care, responsibility, and quiet determination. What stood out most was her balance of teamwork and independence. She worked beautifully alongside others, always supportive and collaborative, but was equally confident managing tasks on her own. Once she learned something, she took ownership of it. That level of reliability is such a gift in a busy sanctuary environment. Beyond the work, Laura filled our home with laughter and warmth. She is respectful, clean, considerate, and genuinely easy to live with. Sharing your home with someone for nearly two months is no small thing , and she made it feel natural and joyful. The animals were well cared for because of her, and our home was better for having her in it. Any host would be lucky to welcome her. We already miss her and would have her back in a heartbeat!!

Dhala and Oussi are one of the most generous couples we've ever met. They welcomed us like family and were always very helpful. We helped them set up the main house and other Airbnb features. Oussi is a beekeeper, and we were happy to help him with this. They have two beautiful little girls, and we loved playing with them. Really a great experience.

Best first workaway I Could have imagined. Always had the feeling that I am part of the group and not just visiting. In 4 weeks I met so many amazing people, improved my spanish so much and just had some of the most amazing weeks in my life so far. I will be coming back for sure and I hope more Volunteers end up here in the future because it is not only something you benfit from as a volunteer, it is also a work with real purpose which makes a big difference. to get in touch with colombian people and their culture i guess there is no better place

I spent one and a half months with this wonderful family during the winter months, surrounded by snow and very cold weather. Despite the challenging conditions, their warmth made everything feel easy and comfortable. I felt welcomed from the very first day. The house is located right in front of a beautiful Norwegian fjord, surrounded by nature and breathtaking landscapes. It is the perfect place for someone looking for peace, quiet, and a deep connection with nature. The view every day was truly special. The children are incredibly sweet, and it was a real pleasure to spend time with them. Communication was easy since we are both Italian, but I also had the opportunity to practice my English by speaking with their friends and during my independent visits to nearby cities. The tasks were varied: gardening work like trimming the hedge, taking care of the chickens (which was one of my regular responsibilities), general cleaning, and of course shoveling snow when needed. I also helped inside the house — keeping things organized, cooking sometimes, and taking care of the children when necessary. In those moments, we often worked as a team with their grandmother, which made the experience even more special. They were always very flexible with my days off, allowing me to explore nearby cities. They also included me in their family activities whenever I wanted — walks, small trips, and shared moments together. The house is a bit far from the bus stop, but Noemi was always kind and available to drive me when needed. This was my first Workaway experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better. Leaving was not easy. I will miss you very much 💖

Jack stayed for almost two months at our hostel as a volunteer. He is a very active and motivated person, always willing to help. Every day he cooked delicious food and shared it with the people at the hostel. He also went to the beach to surf. He is a cheerful and very communicative person who made many friends at this place. We hope he returns someday.

Daryl was an excellent volunteer during his one month stay on my ranch. He is a hard worker who completes all of his tasks. He was very friendly with my animals as well. I wish he could have stayed longer! I highly recommend him as a volunteer!

I've been at the hostel for 3 weeks and I loved it. The work schedule is not stressful at all, you get a lot of time for yourself and for meeting other people. The team is also beautiful: the people working there and the volunteers were very kind and always available for any problem. I would recommend spending some time here to live beautiful experiences with people from all over the world. See you next time :)

The hostel is "Bacan"! (awesome to us gringos). The manager Jona is a great singer, always playing music making the atmosphere incredible. I felt completely at home here. The staff are incredible, the guests are great, and it’s the perfect place to meet, bond, and enjoy the famous waves of Pichilemu 🤙

I spent almost three weeks with this lovely family, and honestly, it still didn’t feel like enough. Antonella and Giovanni are incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming people. From the very beginning, they made sure I felt comfortable and truly at home. They loved showing me around, and on weekends we would spend time together exploring, enjoying many cappuccinos in local cafés — which became one of my favorite little rituals. Antonella also shared some meditation and breathing techniques with me, which I really appreciated, and Giovanni took me on a beautiful little trek near Mount Etna. These moments made my stay even more special. The tasks were very simple. I helped with daily things like cleaning and organizing, and I cooked lunch and dinner. It was easy to cook for them and everything felt balanced and uncomplicated. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely Antonella’s mother. She was so warm and welcoming, and I truly cherished the time I spent with her. She even invited me to her home for an incredibly delicious Italian meal. I would absolutely recommend this family to anyone who wants to experience real Sicilian culture and enjoy a genuine family atmosphere. I truly hope we meet again :)
