What to say about Igor? We absolutely loved having him with us! From the very first day, Igor brought such great energy and positivity to our hostel. Always smiling, always ready to help, and always making guests feel welcome. He was responsible and reliable with his tasks, and we could always count on him. He truly became part of our hostel family. Whether helping with daily tasks or just chatting, Igor created fun atmosphere and made a real difference here. We’re so grateful for the time we shared and would welcome you back anytime with open arms! :)

Monika was a joy to have in our home. We didn't have a lot of projects going when Monika came but of her own initiative she was always busy. Monika got all her allocated jobs done in 1/2 the time I thought she would need , never baulked a single task and is the most wonderful chef. Monika did painting, cleaning, cooking, animal husbandry and loads of cooking. Monika renewed my spice shelf shelf with new spice mxes and left us with a huge pot of Polish beetroot soup, kombucha , kraut and more. She cleaned out all of my kitchen cupboards and labeled all of the jars and left the place cleaner and more organised than what she found it. I could not recommend Monika more highly if you would like an interesting, efficient and capable worker in your home, who is the most wonderful cook, we would have Monika back in heart beat.

Mathilde est restée presque 2 semaines chez moi. Le temps que nous avons passé ensemble était très agréable. Mathilde a fait un très bon travail, c'est surtout une "pro" pour le désencombrement et le rangement, le résultat était incroyable! Elle s'est bien occupée de ma petite chienne Mollie aussi, elle a rentrée du bois de chauffage et elle m'a aider à plein de choses. Malheureusement c'était une période avec beaucoup de pluie, de vent, de pannes d'eau, électricité...mais on s'est "bien débrouillé". Nos échanges étaient aussi très intéressant. J'espère vivement qu'elle va revenir par ici.

Dear Agathe and Anthony, Thank you so much for all your help. We now have a very neat front yard again,and a largely made-ready-for-spring vegetable garden, which I'll be working on these next few weeks, (or actually all the rest of the growing season). The chucks are comfortable in their clean stall and as soon as the land has dried a little, I will move the sheep to the field you readied for them. Thanks very much for all ythis help, also for all the washing-up you did and for the nice dinners you cooked. I'm glad you also enjoyed cycling in the neighbourhood exploring the woods and the surrounding villages. You also got a taste of the bigger cities here, as they normally are and how crazy busy they are at 'Carnaval'. Agathe: I hope you will soon land a job so that both your idea of living in the Netherlands for a few years will be possible. Good luck with your job interview on Wednesday! And now enjoy your vineyard Workaway! Best wishes, Christine

Leharna was a lovely host! I stayed with her for 10 days, and the work was as described in her profile. I appreciated Leharna's flexibility around my schedule, and really enjoyed joining her for activities in the community. I had time to explore the surrounding area, and spend lots of quality time with Mischief the cat :) Leharna also helped me find some additional work opportunities, and provided great food to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I had a really nice time in the area, and am so excited about the continued progress of Leharna's property!! Thank you again Leharna!!

We really enjoyed our two weeks with Sabina and her friend Jesse. It has been our best Workaway experience so far. For the first time, someone proactively asked if we were warm enough or needed any food. Sabina gave us great recommendations for places to visit on Krk and local foods we should taste. She also shared the island's history and showed us beautiful beaches. Since we stayed in a private flat, we had plenty of time and space to relax and cook. We visited in February, so the weather wasn't always perfect. We worked outside only when it wasn't raining or too windy. Our tasks included organizing the tool room and kitchen, pruning olive trees, and weeding blackberries. Spending time and having small talks with Sabina was fun, and she gave us great opportunities for the future. We would be happy to come back someday. Thank you again for the chance to discover Krk!

We were incredibly lucky when we accepted Joanna as a volunteer. She provided exceptional support in many different areas. During her time with us, she proved to be reliable, responsible, and incredibly friendly. She helped with a wide range of household tasks, handling everything from everyday home responsibilities to walking and caring for our dogs. No task was ever too small or too large , even she could see in advance what was needed . She approached everything with a positive attitude and genuine willingness to help. In addition to supporting our home, she also contributed her time and skills to assist with English spoken classes. My students and ourselves had a great time ! :) Joanna often went beyond what was expected so we trusted her completely in our home and greatly appreciated her presence. Apart from that, we know we have a friend and we are meeting soon. Thank you Joanna for being with us and being our friend. We wish you the best .

You will feel like family They look for what make you happy and comfortable Have time to travel Thank you so much

Clement was attentive, willing and enjoyed hard physical work. He is very polite and appreciated the food and joined in when friends turned up. When we weren't working or eating he amused himself and was no trouble. I was very pleased to see how clean the accomodation was on his departure...it was spotless. We enjoyed his stay.

I have stayed with Valerie and Yves Marie for 5 weeks in December and January and can only recommend them as hosts! During the time I stayed there I made so many new experiences like sailing with the sunfish and a sailing tour with the big sailboat. I also got to learn a new side for me of working with the horses from Valerie. Martinique is a beautiful Island with so much to offer, there are many awesome places to visit for scuba diving, surfing and hiking. At the beginning I did not speak French at all, but everybody was so eager to help me learn a few words and to understand some of it. Overall this was a wonderful trip for me and I got to meet so many lovely people, so thank you for making this possible for me!

Gerline stayed with us for nearly a month, and what a special time it was. During her stay she asked if she could extend, and we were genuinely happy to say yes. For the extended half of her visit, our daughter even kindly offered to share her room with Gerline, as our guest rooms were already fully booked with other Workawayers. That alone speaks volumes about the lovely bond that formed. Gerline was an absolute joy to have around. She is equally up for deep, thoughtful conversations as she is for silly stories at the table. With our six year old she was warm, engaged and attentive, and at the same time confident in setting kind, clear boundaries. That balance is rare and very appreciated. In the kitchen she truly shone. She cooked several delicious meals for our ever-changing, often quite large crowd. When extended family and Workawayers gather, we can easily be close to ten people, and she handled that with calm competence. Everything tasted wonderful. Outdoors she was just as impressive. She swung the axe for firewood, handled loppers and pruning saws, weeded, planted, cleaned and somehow turned stacking firewood into an art form. She sees what needs doing, gets on with it without fuss, never complains, and always does a thorough job. She also embraced exploring the area, taking on hikes like Kapiti Island, the Tongariro Crossing, Hemi Matenga and the Escarpment Track, often encouraging other Workawayers to join her. Her initiative and positive energy added so much to the atmosphere in the house. We are truly grateful for the time we shared and hope our paths cross again one day. Any host would be lucky to have Gerline. Don’t hesitate to welcome her.

Very happy having Luisa as our volunteer, she is not only help us but also share happiness to everyone. Very friendly to everyone. I hope Got will blessing her in every situation... Good luck for everything Luisa...

Owain was a pleasure to have stay with us for a week. He was helpful friendly and always engaging. He helped us with various tasks staying flexible as we adjusted jobs trying to avoid the heat! Was great to exchange stories a n loved getting some Welsh music recommendations. We wish Owain all the best and would happily recommend him to any other hosts :)

Naomi was such an amazing host! I loved spending a week with her in her beautiful home with her cute pets and super delicious fresh food! I felt very welcome and Naomi integrated me in everything she did, so she took me with her to Canberra, to a bathing lake, invited me to her friends, we had a campfire, a movie night and very interesting talks! I felt like at home and had a lot of fun! The work I had to do was in a very relaxed surrounding, so I was able to listen to Naomi's great music during that time and she gave me tasks that I was able to complete well. All in all I had an amazing week, where I learned many things and had a lot of fun. I would recommend everyone to stay at Naomi's place!☀️

We really enjoyed our time staying at Carolyn's and Pete's and would highly recommend! They, as well as the cats, were super welcoming of us in their home and made delicious meals. Some of the tasks during our stay led us to spending quite a bit of time in the paddocks with the goats and chooks where we enjoyed watching and interacting with them. We even got to see the local echidna. It was a joy to watch the baby chickens grow and graduate to sleeping in the main chicken coop with all the other chooks before we left. Both Carolyn and Pete gave great recommendations of areas around Tasmania to explore which we were thankful for. Thank you for having us!

I really enjoyed this week at Jasmin and Thomas’s. Their welcome was simple and warm. It made me happy to cook, clean, and stitch different things. And take the time to pet the adorable cat Henry. I was able to visit different places like Friedrichshafen or Ehingen and walk in the nearby forest. Thank you very much Stéphanie

Wow wow wow! What can I say about this incredible experience. If you are looking for a family and community in Lebanon and not just a transactional exchange this couple and community is for you. Farah and Hamoudi are the most beautiful souls and they have so much energy they are offering the world. The space is full of creative energy, music, art, nature and overall just buena onda! My friend and I stayed for two weeks and we helped a lot with the beginning stages of the project. Cleaning out old rooms, designing the space, a little bit of gardening and miscellaneous tasks. If you are a creative there’s a lot you can do here. Hamoudi makes magical music and cooks delicious meals out of the most basic ingredients, a true art!! Farah is a ray of sunshine and you will feel she’s your soul sister from the second you meet her. Her ability to create and innovate is incredible and you can learn a lot about fabric art once the workspace is fully set up! I know we will meet again! Thanks حي ✨ I wish you a fruitful project and a space for the world to enjoy and heal at.

It was a real pleasure to host Charlie this weekend. She is a very proactive, positive and energetic person to be around. She has been extremely helpful in the garden and she has led the work pruning the roses and kiwis, which was not easy at all (yet she approached it with confidence and enthusiasm). Her great spirit made the work much more enjoyable. I only wish she could have stayed longer, but hopefully she can return in the future!

Kerstin, Bastian and their 2 girls were the best! we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were truly fantastic guests — kind, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. They approached every task with enthusiasm and responsibility, always willing to help and contribute wherever needed. Their two daughters are absolutely lovely — polite, cheerful, and a joy to have around. They brought such a warm and positive energy to our home, and it was a pleasure getting to know them all. We are very grateful for the time they spent with us and would welcome them back anytime without hesitation, they have become friends! We highly recommend them to any future hosts!

Justin has been with me just over a week, and is a reflective, intelligent, aware, and independent minded young man. Sadly he fell acutely ill shortly after arriving, requiring a day in the ED of my local hospital, and has had to spend his time with me recuperating. Despite this, he attempted to help me as he could, and was conscientious and frustrated that he couldn’t assist me much with tasks. I can however say he is reliable, trustworthy, and honest. We enjoyed some lovely conversations together. It was a pleasure to care for him in his recuperation, and I wish him a pleasant and healthy remainder of his time in the country.
