We had a very nice experience helping with building a stone wall, cleaning a mud bath pool, watering plants (amazing and beautiful, a real botanical garden with many species), cooking… The life is simple and quiet here : enjoy the beautiful sunset on the beach (10 minutes walk), talks around the firewood at night… Many friends are passing by, giving the opportunity to talk to many different persons. Nuestra experiencia fue excellente. Ayudamos a construir un pared de piedra, cosechamos tumbos para hacer marmelada, regamos las numerosas y muy lindas plantas… Disfrutamos de atardeceres en el mar (10 minutos caminando) y conversaciones alrededor de la fogata a la noche. Le recomendamos este lugar y su simpatico anfitrion .

Dear Monika and Artemis, thank you for the wonderful time with you! I really like the Idee. On this project I had the feeling to do the right for the world and for human beings. It was a great experience for me to live simple, with out electricity and worm water. I had time to look to myself and to nature with out diversion. I had the pleasure to help to realise two project's. The first one was to build a garden and I learned a lot about soil composition. The second project was to make a pond. We had o lot of fun and and not only the pond was deep also the talk's. ☺️ Best wishes and see you in future! ♥️

Denisse and Diego were very nice hosts : they welcomed us in their big house and drive us around as if we were VIP people ! We got a chance to hike the Villarrica volcano, and see all around their place thanks to them. We did exchange a lot about our lives and we beat them at cards game !! Not to mention the good food we had in the restaurant they own… Denisse and Diego son muy simpaticos anfitriones. Fuimos a caminar al volcano Villarrica con ellos, fue un excellente día. Su casa es muy grande y la comida rica en su restaurante. Hablamos mucho de nuestras vidas, fue muy rico el intercambio !

It was lovely staying with Jean and Tanzi, their kids and their funny dog Pippin. They are very positive and open people, the house is comfortable and surrounded by beautiful nature. Definetly recommend it.

It was really nice having Stephen here with us. He was helpful, and besides that, he is a person who doesn't have to be told what to do, as he takes his own initiative to help out. My students love his English lessons, and he has the natural talent and patience for it Well done, Stephen.

Dear Komal and Eraldo, it was a pleasure for me to join you on your project. I felt that this project is really your dream. It was nice for me to help you a little bit to realise your dream. ;) Also the atmosphere was every time friendly and welcoming. I had a lot of fun with the other workers and in total a good time. The apartment was comfortable with wonderful view of Livorno, the sea and mountains. ☺️ There is a bus to Livorno and there I enjoyed the best ice cream in my life and had beautiful walks on the sea. 🌊🍦 Thank you so much for this time and see you soon! Best wishes Janne :)

Merci a Véronique pour ces 2 semaines passées a la cabane. Un retour a la nature dans un petit coin de paradis paisible. Véro nous a gâté avec ses bon petit gâteaux et as pris le temps de nous faire découvrir sa passion pour la méditation! Le lieu est idéal pour qui aime le calme. Une femme incroyable qui ne demande qu'à partager! 😊

From the very first moment Mahoka arrived, she brought with her the most beautiful energy and a radiant smile. She is an incredibly supportive person who immediately understands what needs to be done and does it with her whole heart. Together we worked in the garden, where she did an amazing job, and she spent precious time with the kids—playing with them and teaching them how to make origami. They will remember her forever. We also shared a few adventurous excursions together, full of laughter and truly great fun. At home, she was simply wonderful: always helping with cleaning, cooking, and daily tasks, never once without her warm smile. Her miso soup has officially become part of our food plan—it’s unforgettable! Saying goodbye was emotional, with tears in our eyes. We wish her all the very best for her future and truly hope our paths will cross again one day. Arigatō gozaimasu, Mahoka 🙏🏼 You will always have a place in our hearts.

Joining this little family truly was such a good experience, Judith is a super open minded person and really respectful of your space and needs and in general an amazing person to talk to, I had a beautiful room and full access to the kitchen and bathroom with no problems, Maya is a really interesting person if you are into card games or baking then you are in the right place she is super sweet and full of conversation I had zero problems minding her it was mostly after school and weekend work but super flexible as well, Good access to public transport and the nearest shop is a 4 minute walk, Overall I had a very positive time here and would happily recommend to anyone looking for a more relaxed environment and fun friendly people to be around. ♡♡♡

Celestine was great. She came in and did everything brilliantly. She drove safely, mastered the madness in the kitchen and was super helpful. She's smart, reliable, careful, conscientious, eagle eyed and we would recommend her to others. Good luck with your travels, C.

Zuza and Joshua lived in our tiny house in the forest while doing lots of home improvement work in our village house. We loved working and spending time with Zuza and Joshua. They are a super nice couple, and their traits and talents complement each other beautifully. Zuza went all-in with bringing us edible mushrooms from the forest every day, since they were with us at the height of bolete season. They helped slice them and dry them on a string over our stove. Joshua helped Jan with diy work on our yoga studio and making a wooden garden gate from wild branches. Together, they helped us make major strides in beautifying our house. The changes they made for us, have meant a lot for us. I still feel thankful to them every time I open one of those beautiful bright shining doors! They both came up with ideas and initiatives and were really committed. We also spend cosy meals together, had honest and heartfelt conversations and laughs. The kids also loved spending time with Joshua and Zuza. Thank you and we hope to see you again!

Thank you for everything! My two weeks with you were superb. I received a warm welcome and was accommodated in excellent conditions. I highly recommend it

I stayed almost 10 to 12 days . I went in July. I went for the first time as a volunteer. It was a memorable experience. I had a lot of fun with the children. It didn't feel like work.Next time I will definitely go.

My experience at Nina and Steven’s place in Bonogin was amazing, the location is incredible and the nature is amazing in the garden and around the house. I was warm welcomed and felt like in a big community like a family with other people and workawayers together, tasks were either gardening or cleaning the guesthouse after guests checkout. Weekly amount of hours was 20 but the days were very flexible as long as the work was done. I shared the room with a couple other people and I had a very wonderful time with the other workawayers and felt very grateful for that. Nina and Steven were the kindest and helpful people I ever met and their mood was very positive and calm. I had the chance to borrow the car and visit so many beautiful spots around the area and that’s also a plus thing to the overall experience. I wish I stayed longer but I feel it was one of the best times in Australia so far and I’m glad being there for a while.

Kerrie is a real power woman. I stayed for 8 days and had a great time. I had a nice little room with own bathroom, helped with feeding the chickens and dog, gardenwork etc. and we went to several Op Shops together. The area is great for biking and hiking to the top of the mountain, along the river and beaches and close to several shops and cafes/restaurants. Really a nice place where I for sure will come back. Thanks for everything Kerrie 😊🙏

The season for the work I went for was over. So there wasn't much work. So I stayed there for 3 days. But now I will definitely go when I get the chance.

I stayed with Paula and Ramon in Calabria for two weeks and I honestly had a really good experience. They are a young couple, easygoing and genuine. From the first day they made me feel comfortable, without any pressure, always respecting my space and time. The atmosphere in the house is calm and authentic, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciated the daily conversations, the shared moments, and their availability whenever I needed something. It was a sincere and positive experience, and I would definitely do it again. I recommend staying with them if you’re looking for a welcoming place and real, down-to-earth people.

Nous avons passé deux semaines agréables avec Melina. Elle a très bien rempli les missions que nous lui avons confiées, dans la maison, au jardin, elle a été super efficace (et ce malgré la pluie et le mauvais temps) ! Elle s'est très bien intégrée à notre mode de vie familiale. Une personne sympathique, agréable et courageuse dans son travail que nous recommandons sans hésitation ! --- We had a wonderful two weeks with Melina. She carried out the tasks we assigned her very well, both in the house and in the garden; she was really efficient (despite the rain and bad weather)! She adapted very well to our family lifestyle. A friendly, pleasant, and hardworking person whom we recommend without hesitation!

Giovanni is a very talented person. He was able to help us on all constructions, he saw our old piano and tuned it and also has good talents in the kitchen, ask for the pasta:) it was also a very important player on the olive tree pruning. We were very happy with Giovanni’s stay at the house and we would definitely host him again. Best of luck in your future projects :)

Shino was only on our farm for a very short time. But we had an interesting cultural exchange and cooked a wonderful Japanese meal for ourselves. She did a reliable and good job working in the stables. I wish Shino a safe trip back to Japan.
