Kyle is a relaxed artist. Although he is very young I could connect with him really good. He painted my kitchen wall with Aurora Borealis art. Amazing art! He asked many times If I need help and did his task very well. He also teached me singing technique. I like the story also where he got his name from. I recommend this worker!

Axelle es una mensajera universal, una hermaga increíble!. Alegre, positiva, de buena voluntad, entusiasta, respetuosa, amable, y que también dá espacio para los tiempos personales. Me cautivó desde el primer mensaje, sentí que eramos de la misma tribu y luego, cuando llegó, nuestra conexión sólo aumentó más y más. Nos contribuyó muchísimo y lo mejor, que se sintió que fue desde el corazón, desde la intensión real, verdadera y auténtica. Cada labor, cada actividad la realizó con mucho amor, hacia el bio-espacio, hacia la naturaleza, hacia el cosmos. Nos ayudó con la huerta, a desmalezar y rescatar nuestros mini cultivos que estaban camuflados entre el alto pasto de verano. También nos ayudó a cosechar los ajos!. Además fue nuestra casera por un fin de semana :), con apenas conocernos un par de horas, sin embargo, era tanta la cercanía que nos dió la confianza para que cuidara de los animales y para que se permitiera habitar el espacio en total libertad. También nos dejó de regalo un lindo mural en los vidrios del baño. Gracias por compartir tu arte hermana!, aún lo tenemos de recuerdo :) Además, por supuesto, recalcar las tremendas y mágicas charlas. También salimos a pasear por el territorio costero, gracias por sacarnos a caminar jaja Excelente intercambio cultural!!, seguramente cuando vaya a Bélgica, también me sentiré en casa, tenemos muchas cosas en común jaja. Abrazotes hermaga querida. Esperamos volver a encontrarnos en cualquier rinconcito del mundo!, o feliz si quieres volver algún día, ya tienes una casita por aquí, un faro verde donde llegar. Totalmente recomendada como voluntaria, es una bendición contar con tu presencia! Gracias totales

Manyatha did a very good work by capturing each and every activity and place of our campus. She has spent time beyond the working hours expected and took time to understand every aspect of our ecovillage. Her work would definitely be useful for our media team and for our promotions. Thank you Manyatha for the excellent work.

I had a wonderful time with Agnieska . It was a truly an immersive experience, spending time in my ecological guests house, weeding in the garden and taking the dogs for a walk. Great experience for my pets.. She is wonderful and so eager to help. She arranged the time in a win win process. She is super!! at weeding I am grateful to her chose to spend time here. She fit right in from the beginin I appreciated her initiatives and ideas, her proactively doing things as well as sharing her observations and knowledge. I highly recommend hosting her!

This experience was so much more than I could imagine and ask for! Everyone at the school was friendly and welcoming, we had so much food and a nice place to sleep dedicated to volunteers. The school is working very well and professionally and I was glad I could help. The kids are lovely and the most well-behaved I have ever met. The trip there, although very long, felt like a safari ! I travelled solo but I met other 5 volunteers there, there's always someone coming and going. They made sure we always had anything we needed and that we were engaged. The communication with the hosts (also school founders) was optimal. I really recommend this place, if anyone needs information I would be happy to answer. Thank you for having me at the school! I will definetely come back.

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con Bárbara y Roberto. Estuvieron 2 semanas en casa, y, desde el primer día, sentimos que estaban integrando nuestro proyecto como si estuvieron con nosotros hace años. Muy buena vibra, siempre constructivos, comunicativos, abiertos a compartir y colaborar de todos las formas que se pueda. Están muy bienvenidos en nuestro hogar, ya los extrañamos Saludos!

We had a wonderful first workaway experience at the monastery in Agrampela situated in a valley surrounded by snowy mountains. Daily work was very fulfilling, including maintenance work in the monastery, landscaping and preparing material for the planned community garden. We loved the exchange with other guest from Greece and other countries and were happy to share our Swiss cooking recipes in a cosy kitchen and living area.

It was my first workaway experience and I stayed there from Mar. 9 to 20th. Always being kind, generous, and tolerant, Mika-san and Muko-san are great hosts!! Although we couldn't go to many places because of my short stay, we played UNO, enjoyed their amazing meals, and talked a lot every day. They have a lot of interesting experiences and are open about them, so it was fun talking with them. I really appreciate their warm hospitality; they even bought cake and strawberries when workawayers were leaving! I felt as if I were a real member of the family. It was such a sweet and wonderful moment!! As for the dogs, they are not only cute, but very well educatedーI'd never seen such good dogs! So, it was not hard to take care of them. It was the perfect first workaway experience!! Thank you so much, and see you again Mika-san and Muko-san<3

Gracias a nuestro amigo Lauri por su buena voluntad, su generosidad y sus ganas de ayudar y trabajar. Fue realmente un aporte a nuestra familia. Lauri se integró muy bien, estuvo siempre atento a no molestar y compartir lo suficiente con nosotros. Estuvo muy agradable.

Un caballero de los mas interesantes, ponctual y buena vibra. Rodrigo se integró al 100% a nuestra familia, llegando con muchas ganas de compartir y conocernos más. Estuvimos encantados por los trabajos que se realizó, las conversaciones y el recuerdo.

Thomas llegó la fecha acordada nos ayudó fue amable en todo momento agradecido por la ayuda, si les escribe acéptenlo es buen voluntario , buen viaje amigo Thomas

Staying with Mayu, Masaki and their two children was an unforgettable experience. Although it was only a week, I was welcomed into their family immediately, and it felt like I was visiting old friends. Mayu and Masaki are a wonderfully curious, warm and generous couple. I also had the privilege of getting to know Masaki's parents, who are both exceptionally creative and talented. In our week, our conversations covered a variety of topics: from language exchange to Scottish history; education and cooking; to social and political attitudes in our respective cultures. I was also very fortunate to learn more about kagura (神楽), how to make shimenawa (しめ縄) decorations; and participated in a community karaoke session too! During my stay, I became involved in their daily routine and supported with housework (washing dishes, tidying and cleaning, and laundry etc) and provided light support with their holiday home business. I watched over and played with the children, who are both inquisitive, funny and wonderfully sweet - even in my time off, I found that I wanted to spend more time with them (despite the short stay, it was as though I gained two nephews)! I look back on my stay in December with Mayu and Masaki very fondly. I feel immense gratitude to have been able to connect with this fantastic family, and really commend them as outstanding hosts. More importantly however, I am honoured to call them friends, and look forward to seeing them in the near future as we continue to stay in touch -- またね~ 💕

It was a pleasure having Chad & Stacey with us. They are wonderful people and teachers. Students and staff had an amazing time with them. We definitely will miss them and hope to have them back soon.

We had a very good experience hosting Franzi. She is always willing to help, with a smile on her face, in every kind of task—whether it was planting tomatoes. Her positive energy was truly appreciated, and you can clearly see her experience in working with and supporting others. Franzi is a calm and organized person, even in different or challenging situations. We also really enjoyed having interesting conversations with her on a wide variety of topics. Throughout her stay, she was very responsible. She consistently showed a great attitude, took initiative, and was ready to help with any task. Sensible and reliable, she is someone with a good head on her shoulders. She also created some beautiful videos and photos for us, and we would definitely recommend her from a professional point of view. Franzi even left us a lovely letter as a keepsake, which was a very thoughtful gesture. We truly hope she comes back to visit us one day—maybe with her motorbike! We wish her all the best in her work and in everything she chooses to do in life. It was a wonderful experience having her with us.

My experience with Giulia and Simone has been extremely valuable and beneficial. I appreciate and am very grateful for the effort you made to make me feel comfortable at your home and in Val Di Fiemme. As a workawayer, you can enjoy a lot of time with little Tian out in the beautiful nature that surrounds Tesero. You will be well taken care of and all of the fundamental things that you may require during your day are provided for. The most important thing is being practical while also having positivity and patience! Therefore, I would happily recommend this opportunity to anyone, particularly those who are enthusiastic about young children :)

We spent two weeks working on the farm, building earthen houses. The construction experience is great—you learn a lot, all in a very positive and friendly atmosphere. The host, PJ, is incredibly kind and always smiling, just like the rest of the family, who are very welcoming and caring. Please note: only one meal per day is provided through Workaway. However, during our two weeks, we never ate the same thing twice, and everything was always delicious. There are also very good and affordable restaurants very close to the hostel. An experience we will never forget! Thank you 🌵

C'est dur de laisser un avis à un workaway qui est devenu un ami... Fede est une personne très respectueuse, sérieuse dans le travail et surtout sympa et drôle. Tout c'est bien passé pendant son séjour chez moi. Côté travail ses compétences et son investissement et son envie d'apprendre nous on permis d'avancer au delà de mes espérances. Côté vie commune sa simplicité, ses talents culinaires et sa discrétion ont rendu l'expérience incroyable. Merci Fede et merci WA de nous avoir permis de nous rencontrer ! Bonne route l'ami et à bientôt

Félix & Maxime are a great couple of young men with a lovely attitude and willing to learn new skills, they are polite and a pleasure to host and it was lovely they enjoyed their time here.

Quentin is the type of person you definitely want in your life. He has such positive energy that it readily spreads to others, brightening everyones day. It was incredible to see him come out of his shell at my little farm, and become a more confident and comfortable version of himself, pushing his limits and stepping outside his comfort zone on a regular basis. He was always willing to try something new and he always worked extremely hard, but what I appreciated most about his work ethics was how open he was to constructive feedback, demonstrating his eagerness to always improve. Quentin was highly liked by everyone at the farm, to the point that he has become somewhat of a legend of all my WorkAways :D He is such a genuine and authentic person so it's not a surprise he made some strong connections with people here, which I'm sure will last a lifetime.

I was surprised how quickly Vanessa and I clicked, as it usually takes me a few days to warm up to new people, but as soon as we got back home from the airport, she clicked instantly with everyone at my farm. She is a very genuine person which I highly appreciate but furthermore, she's extremely trustworthy, hardworking and quick to learn. In fact, she was so quick to learn, that I felt very comfortable giving her more responsibility than I usually give my WorkAways early on; teaching and leading others, organising both various spaces and admin stuff for the business, and so much more. Besides being a very well rounded and qualified volunteer, she has, more importantly, made connections here that I'm sure will last a lifetime, including with myself. The only negative I could think of, is her not being able to stay longer due to a short-stay visa :(
