I ended up staying at Andres' place for over a month, and absolutely loved my time there. Andres is an awesome guy with tons of energy, working on a number of projects. This was great because the tasks I did were incredibly varied. While I was there we renovated an old house from start to finish, which included cement mixing, plastering, cleaning, sanding, painting, drilling, you name it ... Andres is super friendly and patient, and is the definition of a jack of all trades. No problem is too big or complicated when he's around, which I found very inspiring. We also went hiking, surfing, climbing and and to the next village's fiesta, which was super fun and very much felt like a cultural exchange. I mostly spoke Spanish to him but his English is great so there was no problems with communication. The Finca itself is beautiful, located right next to a mountain, while the village of Fíos is super cute and lovely to stroll around. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I look forward to returning at some point in the future. Muchísimas gracias por esta experiencia tan increíble, Andrés :)

I enjoyed my two weeks with Stephanie, Vic and the dogs a lot. I was very warm-heartedly welcomed into the family and got to learn new skills, like soap-making or how to bake croissants. On sunny days I loved to do some gardening work outside and I especially enjoyed the cosy evenings where we would sit together watching tv, cuddling Penelope the dog and eating delicious dinner every single night. I'm thankful for this time!

I had a lovely experience with Carme, Blai, Fede and Xelo :) The work was easy and very flexible timewise, leaving me plenty of time to explore Valencia. The work involved mainly cleaning and tidying the house, doing grocery shopping, some cooking, and sometimes playing and looking after Carme and Blai. We had plenty of interesting conversations, thank you!

I volunteered for 4 weeks here; 1.5 hrs at the reception and 1.5 for social media (6 days a week), once in a while 3 hrs at the desk. I enjoyed greeting the guests and practising my Spanish (majority of the guests are Spanish or French speaking). I loved being a part of this family-owned business and it really feels like being part of a family with the staff and other volunteers! I highly recommend volunteering here if you are visiting Bogotá! The location is perfect and so safe. Gracias por todo, Nancy, Samuel, Sebastian, Dylan, Gabriel, Daniel, Jhon, Marco y Natalia!

Hi everyone 😊 We stayed at Joani’s farm for almost two months and enjoyed every single moment. We helped with DIY projects, lavender products, and anything else that was needed around the farm. The work hours were flexible and comfortable, and afterwards we would often ride our bikes to the lake and enjoy shared meals together. Joani has a huge heart and a warmth that truly makes you feel at home. We are so grateful for this experience and will always remember this time very fondly. We wholeheartedly and warmly recommend staying here!

Nos quedamos para tres semanas en el fundo quidando lo mismo y los cachorros (que son lo más) Fue una experiencia increíble, cocinamos y compartimos experiencias Zeze es un super host, muy amable y de corazón siempre disponible al diálogo. (que es muy importante para la organización de todo). hicimos nuestra primera experiencia también con las vacas... fuimos un día a sacarle la leche. hemos compartido muchos momentos y desde cuándo nos fuimos empezamos a extrañar todo, el ambiente, las personas y los animales ❤️🌿

Maia was a wonderful part of our home, and we feel very lucky to have hosted her. She is extremely kind-hearted, respectful, and well-mannered. She lived according to our culture and always respected our traditional values, which meant a lot to us. She helped us whenever we needed support, never disturbed our family routine, and spent her free time quietly reading. She listened carefully to our advice and followed everything with a positive attitude. As a native English speaker, Maia was especially helpful in improving our English. She has completed TEFL, so she is well qualified and confident in teaching, and she shared her knowledge patiently and clearly. If anyone is looking for a good-mannered native English speaker as a helper or a friend, Maia is truly the best choice. We are very happy to recommend her without hesitation. If she comes to us again, we would love to spend time with her. We wish Maia all the very best for her future.

David and Jo are so friendly and full of energy our teachers and students from La Dorada, Mariquita and Manzanares really loved spending time with them. We can say that we are gonna miss David and Joe and we wish any day they can come back to visit us. We highly recommend this couple and we really apreciate all what they did for our school team.❤️❤️❤️

エマと過ごした一ヶ月はたくさんの刺激と数え切れない思い出があります。聡明で快活で純粋なあなたと過ごした時間はとても色濃く素晴らしい時間でした！とにかく明るく積極的にコミュニケーションをとってくれるあなたに、子どもたちの本当のお姉さんのように優しく厳しく接してくれるあなたに、家族みんながたくさんの勇気と感動をもらいました！ 異国の地で、慣れない生活環境で、出会う人すべてに精一杯尽くしてくれた、まだ20歳にもならない若いあなたから教わることがたくさんありました。あなたのように生きられたらいいなと思わせてくれる魅力的なエマ、また会える日を家族みんなが楽しみにしています！本当にありがとう！

We had a great experience with Luis and Edwige, we can’t thank them enough for all their hard work, advice and good company! We got a lot of jobs done on our property, there was quite a wide variety of things we wanted to get done and both Luis and Edwige were keen to take anything on. We certainly learnt quite a bit from them as newbie country property owners. They were also happy to work on their own when myself and Jamie needed to work. In fact, they worked so hard that I had to chase them up for coffee and lunch breaks and they even insisted helping when it was meant to be their day off! We really enjoyed having lunch together and spending some free time with them too, especially exploring the area with their gorgeous dog Lockis who was also so good with our own pets. We had some good laughs and we would welcome them back for a holiday without hesitation. A very chilled, funny and inspiring couple, thank you 😁

I'm honestly very happy that volounteered with this family. I was quite nervous at the beggining, since it was gonna be my first experience doing a workaway, but I decided to go for it, and it's one of the best desitions I've done during my travel! Joel and Ellen were super understanding with me and helped me into many different things here for me to feel comfortable. I honeslty had a lot of fun with them! Also the kids are amazing, I laughted a lot with them and even learn new things from them also! (I quite miss them now hahah). They took me to a lot of different places for me to see them, and treated me as really part of the family! I really recomend them! 🩵

I have just spent 2 weeks with Therese and the ever affectionate Ziggy & Zora(cats). The grounds are beautiful and you can tell have been a labour of love, a lovely spot Therese has created. I did alot of outside work which I enjoyed, clearing up after winter getting ready for spring, and Therese also offered inside and other tasks if I wanted a change. Therese is a considerate host, checking in for comfort and needs, and inclusive when she was heading out, giving plenty of options to be sociable and engage with other friends and activities, or just have some down time by the fire. Therese has a fun energy to be around and is appreciative of the work carried out. I would recommend Therese as a host if you are heading over to Sligo.

Adorable couple. Très respectueux et très gentils. Excellent travail

Alessandro was not just a volunteer, but someone who truly became part of the place. He can cook, clean, and he works incredibly hard. Cutting hardwood is not easy, but he did it with strong effort and a positive attitude. He’s reliable, kind, and always willing to help with anything that needs to be done. I feel very lucky to have worked with him, and I’m really grateful for his time and energy here. He will always be welcome back anytime.

Phoebe was a wonderful volunteer! She’s kind, respectful, and easy to communicate with. She kept the place clean and brought really positive energy. I especially loved the painting she did on my wall . It's such a beautiful touch! I truly enjoyed hosting her, and she’s welcome back anytime. Safe travels, Phoebe!

Melody stayed with us for three weeks, and it was a truly positive experience in every respect. She integrated into the household routine naturally from the very beginning, showing responsibility, respect, and great willingness to help. She is reliable, punctual, and well organized. She carried out every task with care and attention, without the need for constant supervision, demonstrating autonomy and initiative. She was always precise in daily activities and attentive in managing shared spaces. On a personal level, she is cheerful, polite, and very pleasant to live with. She helped create a calm and collaborative atmosphere, easily adapting to the rhythm of the house and bringing positive energy. We shared many enjoyable and fun moments together: evenings playing video games, preparing traditional dishes, and going out to the pub. Melody makes delicious desserts and shared her cookie recipe with us, they are absolutely amazing! She is a positive, reliable, and respectful presence, capable of contributing meaningfully with enthusiasm and maturity. We highly recommend her!

Antoine stayed at Lavanta Gölevi for three weeks. I didn’t even realize how quickly the time passed. We worked together beautifully and found a natural harmony. Antoine, if you were happy to be here as well, I would be glad to welcome you again. Discover new places with friendship.

We are super grateful that Serena decided to stay with us and help us. Her help was amazing. She is an excellent cook (we ate delicious vegetarian food from all over the world) house was beautifully cleaned and kids loved her. :) during her time with us I got some much needed time for myself and to be with the kids. She is very independent, self-initiative, mature. We had some really nice and interesting conversations. So happy for this experience. Thank you Serena! Our doors are open for you. :)

Simon arrived at Lavanta Gölevi about a week after Antoine. We worked together beautifully and found a natural harmony. Antoine and Simon… If you were happy to be here as well, I will be glad to welcome you again. Go with friendship.

I spend about a week helping Daniel with house reparing. Daniel is amazing and I am so glad to got to know him closely. Each day felt like a new adventure. He is very artistic person, has a soul of true musician and has cool mindblowing life-stories to share!
