Jacob… SO MUCH LOVE right back at you From all of us here, thank you for your beautiful words. Having you with us for almost two months was truly a gift. You were an amazing guy with such a beautiful soul. From the first day, you brought so much positive energy, enthusiasm, and kindness into our school. You were always active, always ready to help, and genuinely excited to teach. That passion made a real difference in the classroom. The students absolutely loved you and so did the team. You created such great vibes between the volunteers and the students. Your presence made everything lighter, happier, and more connected. You didn’t just teach lessons… you built relationships. We are so grateful for the effort you put into every class. You understood that teaching here is not just conversation it’s real instruction, real impact and you gave it your best every time. Thank you for your respect, your honesty in our meetings, and for being part of our little family. This place will always be your home in Casablanca. Shukran bzaaf, Jacob 🤍 We can’t wait to welcome you back anytime.

Although the weather was totally bad when I was there, I had the best time with Lucy and Dave. I was totally warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. Of course, the dogs were especially great (of course, especially the Workaway dog Mickey). I was very happy to help where I could, for example feeding dogs, getting wood, being the personal Taxi-driver and much more. I will be very happy to come back!

I joined Elvis and his parents' place for two weeks and was thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know this wonderful little family farm and its inhabitants. I can highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature, country life, and plants. The work to be done was very pleasant and very fair in relation to the offered benefits. I mainly mowed the lawn, which grows very quickly at this time of year in the summer in February, trimmed very tall grass with a Stihl brushcutter, and helped wash used wine bottles that are recycled for homemade wine. Many thanks to Elvis and family!

Literally, it was a paradise for us!! We stayed with her for 16 days in total. Mostly at the house in Sixilla, painting and cooking and rest of the time we had a relaxing time to enjoying a natural pool, the house itself and the beautiful almost magical area. Cintia, she is an exceptionally kind and generous person. Relaxed and easy going. We love her very much. We would highly recommend a stay here for a very rewarding local experience. Would rate 10 stars if we could!!!

What makes Alicia and Jorge's place and the La Petrera area so extraordinary? It's that wonderful feeling of being exactly where you're meant to be, of feeling at ease from the very beginning! Nestled in nature – just minutes from the beach – Alicia and Jorge have created a haven filled with quirky art and an organic garden, which they share with their guests. Here, you can feel their genuine hospitality, the joy of shared conversations and meals, their curiosity, and their willingness to share. I was given a lovely room upstairs and enjoyed the sound of the sea and the amazing views of nature. Alicia and Jorge are excellent cooks, and the meals are delicious – plentiful, traditional, and featuring many ingredients from their own garden. My project was to add two garden gates to the property. Using a few old wooden-and metal doors, a bed, and a variety of small metal parts from their "junkyard," I was able to bring my design to life. Thank you for giving me this freedom. I hope they blend in with the overall picture and bring joy for many years to come. Yes, and finally I must greet the two dogs, Petra and Dobby. They were my daily companions to the beach and around La Petrera and I had a lot of joy with them. Thank you and nice greetings Thomas

Thank you for your amazing job ! It was a pleasure to meet you !

Quentin and Paola are an amazing couple and would fit into any household with ease , they are very hardworking and very respectable and work well on their own initiative and if they are unsure they will ask for clarification, I have no problem recommending them to any host and they are always welcome back to my house , Thanks Quentin and Paola and I wish you well on your travels :)

Alessia and Leonardo came here with a lot of experience and disposition! They were very independent and considerate from the first day. We enjoyed their cheerful way - the Bon giorno in the morning and their initiative when we organized some get together with food and drinks. They saved us during the high season, were very reliable and hard working volunteers. We wish them all the best for their further travels! Thank you!!

Rubia stayed with us for a whole month during a very busy time. She got to know various other workaways and got along well with everyone, also our employees and our cat Charly. She was easy to be with, very considerate and a reliable part of the team. We appreciated her calm presence and joyful disposition and missed her as soon as she left us! Merci Rubia!

Emir y Fabiola son encantadores. He tenido el gusto de compartir un mes y medio en casa con ellos y ha sido una experiencia muy gratificante. Siempre colaborativos, trabajadores, respetuosos, divertidos y muy responsables. Hemos compartido muchos momentos lindos en todos los aspectos. Han cuidado de la casa, de los animales, de mi, de todo, con mucha atención, amor y alegría. Hicieron mucho más de lo que tenían que hacer, muchas gracias! Hay que destacar la cocina de Fabiola, que nos ha deleitado con sus pasteles típicos de Argentina los cuales estaban muy pero que muy ricos, un lujo. Y también los buenos momentos jugando a las cartas, un sinfín de risas que nos hemos hecho. Un autentico placer acogerlos en casa, y ahora tienen un amigo cerca, y yo a dos! Nos vemos pronto y buena suerte en la nueva aventura que iniciáis ahora.

Mi experiencia fue absolutamente increíble UE un voluntario increíble con una gran capacidad empática cumplía con sus tareas cocinaba delicioso . Cuido de mis animales mis plantas . Reímos mucho tiene n increíble sentido del humor . Realmente sentimos su partida y no fue si lágrimas que nos quedamos . Realmente es un ser increíble Gracias Robin.

Jason & Leah, What can we say, just stayed as guests at ours for 10 days. Both thoroughly engaging, good fun and extremely hard working and conscientious. A pleasure to exchange stories and life experiences, I am sure we will keep in touch and are always welcome back anytime. Arrived as strangers, left as friends. Buena Suerte Gill & Simon

Thomas fue un gran aporte para nuestro refugio, muy amable, educado, trabajador y responsable. Muy simpático y de muy buen trato con los humanos y animales! Lo recibiríamos siempre. Lo recomiendo para cualquier proyecto Gracias thomas!!!

I stayed with Nicole and her family from February 4-15 of this year. The family left for vacation on Feb 7 and I cared for their home and pets until they returned. I walked their sweet dog daily, fed all three pets, and kept the house clean. Nicole and her family were warm, friendly, and communicative. They provided everything I needed while I lived there. When I was walking the dog, I met many of their neighbors and got to know the area. Nicole is a wonderful host and I recommend her to other Workawayers!

I stayed with Cristiana, Michele, and Ginny for 3 weeks and had an amazing time there! From the beginning, they were so welcoming and even came pick me up at the Pesaro station (one of the closest cities). They always tried to communicate well even before I joined them, which made me feel so relieved. Their house is located up on the hill so I admit that it's better to have your own car, but I didn't have any problem because Cristiana took me to Urbino (another city nearby) when she goes to work, and to other cities by their cars (they took me to a short trip to cities a little farther away too). Most of the days, I was in charge of having Japanese learning sessions with Ginny about for an hour (depending on their schedules each day) and helping with a little household chores. Thankfully, Cristiana held some sessions to teach me Italian and they were always open to let me try speaking in Italian! They also invited me to their family gatherings like having dinner together, so I could enjoy a lot of different Italian local cuisine :) Thank you so much for having me and always being considerate!!

I spent two amazing months at Andrea's place, and it felt like finding a second home. The atmosphere in the house is just lovely, warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The job was mainly to take care of the house, keeping everything clean, organized, and welcoming for everyone. The animals were absolutely adorable, and Skipper is definitely the star of the house! The location is incredible, everything (the beach!!) is within walking distance, which made daily life so easy and enjoyable. And the view never gets old. No matter how many times you look at it, it’s still just as beautiful. What I loved most was the community. I’ve never met so many wonderful people in such a short time. It’s a place full of connection, sharing, and unforgettable moments. I truly can’t wait to come back one day. Volver! :)

I had the best time at the center! Volunteering there doesn’t really feel like “working” – it feels more like helping a friend and all the animal friends she takes care of (and she truly does it with all her energy and passion). Litsa is a very kind and inspiring person, and I really enjoyed the time I spent with her, the other volunteer, and all the animal buddies. I fell in love with the island, which is wild and incredibly beautiful – especially for hiking in winter – and I’ve already made plans to come back. I will definitely want to help out at the new center again. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay until the beginning of March when the next sterilisation program starts. I’m sure participating in that is very interesting and rewarding, and definitely something worth supporting. So fellow Workawayers: this is your chance to be part of it! Thank you, Litsa, for this experience. I truly needed it 💚

Hey dear Tuula! We miss you already. You were such a wonderful addition to our week. You helped me so much with my household chores and completed every task with great accuracy and care. You were always thoughtful and often went the extra mile — whether it was hanging out the laundry or washing the dishes when I needed support. You noticed what needed to be done without even being asked. That made my day so much easier, and it truly meant a lot to me. My daughter also grew very fond of you. She felt your sincerity and empathy, and that created such a beautiful and natural connection between you two. Tuula is also a very talented massage therapist. She works with deep empathy, presence, and attentiveness. I was experiencing back pain, and she focused with time, precision, and care on my weak areas during the fascia massage. It was incredibly helpful. The yoni steaming was a completely new experience for me, and I absolutely loved it! We shared so many meaningful conversations, good food (and great salads) and a beautiful time together. You are always welcome here! Besitos!! 💛

Geri was amazing, he is a great help, he's very practical and hands on. He cut down a tree, did lots of gardening, helped in the kitchen and did some repairs. Geri was a fun person to have around (hey he's a clown) . I can highly recommend him and I hope he'll come back.

Elliot es esas personas que vienen como voluntarios y acaban siendo amigos y casi hermanos. Elliot tiene una capacidad increíble de adaptación y es una persona altamente social. Fue muy divertido el tiempo que pasamos juntos además nos ayudó en mucho es un gran cocinero se integra genial con el resto de las personas y su español es muy bueno. En cuanto a la ayuda es increíble la energía que tiene tener cuidado de no darle café porque si no no terminarán nunca de trabajar jeje Siempre interesado en aprender cosas nuevas nos ayudó mucho en la renovación de nuestra casa y en la finca siempre levantándose por la mañana pronto para atender los árboles y siempre dispuesto a ayudar en la construcción. Hicimos algunas actividades juntos y todo fue estupendo en la montaña haciendo surf escalando. Esperamos que este verano o cuando sea puedas venir a visitarnos o quedarte a vivir con nosotros en fíos tu pueblo. Si estáis pensando en recibir a Elliot en vuestra casa no lo dudéis es una persona amable trabajadora y social, a la vez es una persona muy independiente . Os recomendó a Elliot sin duda. Sus chistes son muy buenos jajaja
