Fueron días maravillosos, conocerte, convivir, charlar, gracias por escucharme, por estar con las niñas para ellas, ayudarlas, consentirlas, gracias por todo. Me encantaría volver a tenerte en casa con tu familia. Besos y abrazos y disfruta esta maravillosa aventura.

Harriet es una mujer maravillosa, muy comprometida con las actividades de voluntariado, muy amable, tienes muchas buenas historias para contar y he disfrutado mucho el tiempo contigo. Gracias por tu tiempo, ayuda y por escogernos para contribuir a nuestro proyecto. Besos y abrazos, serás siempre bienvenida.

Stayed at Lisa’s place for 10 days and I had a great time there. Lisa is a great host as she made sure that I can manage my time to explore Blue Mountain and surroundings. Lisa even suggested places to visit based on my preferences. Overall, the task is light, as main Job is to accompany Aloy and a helped a bit on gardening and cleaning. Aloy is a sweet and cute golden retriever. As described, she loves to play and cuddled. If you are naturally someone who cares for a dog, and keen to explore Blue Mountain, I would say Lisa’s place can be at the top of the priority list.

We had a great time at Siri’s place. She is a wonderful person and amazing host. She is very generous and always willing to help with whatever you need and she is also sweet and kind. Teaching and playing with local kids was pure joy, they are so eager to learn and full of energy. Siri has created such a positive, safe and welcoming place for the kids, and it was an honour to contribute to it. We are leaving with a full heart and a wonderful memories. We will never be able to thanks Siri enough ❤️ Grazie Sara and Francesco

Tomas staying at the campsite for 2 weeks which i'm glad that he can help me to chase away the monkeys so that our durian trees is protected from the monkeys. when Maybe he's trying too hard that he snap my sling shot into half. :))) He also helps me watering the plants everyday as during his stay, we were having the dry season where we don't have any rains for few months. But overall, he's a good guy, can mingle with the other volunteers well and quiet independent.

My experience at La Poza Azul was everything I hoped for and more. Tomah is incredibly kind and welcoming. He learned me all sorts of new skills: working with nature and local materials, cooking from scratch (even chocolate from local cocao beans, so yummy!!) and he is a great Spanish teacher too. Every day was a new adventure. Living outside with an amazing view on the lake. Connecting with locals and making new friends. Playing with his dogs and cat. So fun! The place is quite remote, but it is perfect to slow down and really connect with the society. I worked in the morning and had the rest of the day off. Tomah is really flexible and chill. Communication went smoothly. He really wants the best for you. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to go back!!

I spent 2 weeks staying with Emma and Sam and it was incredible. They made me feel at home straight away and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The work I did was fun and rewarding. They have an amazing garden and all their fresh fruit and veg was so YUM. On my days off Sam took me on amazing adventures which I will remember forever. Thank you so much for everything!!

Eunice taught Chinese for my daughters. She is a very good volunteer. She is cheerful, patient with children, and good at building positive relationships with other volunteers, especially when sharing a room. She is proactive, helpful with housework, and willing to share and support others. She is also a smart and creative person with many ideas, always able to recognize good opportunities. She is a very interesting person to talk to and have around.

Félix un chico muy divertido, siempre con una gran sonrisa y una risa muy divertido y honesta, siempre feliz y muy relajado con todo, nos ayudó mucho en los trabajos en el campo, en la cocina y en las clases de ingles a los niños de la comunidad. Y lo mejor, fuimos a jugar fútbol con un equipo local y jugo como un crack, el es un excelente jugador de fútbol! Le deseamos lo mejor!

Nils is a great companion! We had some really interesting converstions, while working in really different things in the farm, from tending to the trees to fixing the tractor and some construction in the middle. He's also a good cook and caring with the beasts, and I would recomend him to anyone.

Rachel and Keegan stayed with us for a shorter period than originally planned, however in that time they made a very meaningful contribution to our project. Rachel was incredibly skilled and took real initiative in supporting our children’s learning. She not only engaged them in thoughtful, child-led activities, but also helped us develop educational resources that we will continue to use. The kids absolutely loved spending time with her. Keegan was a great support across our garden project and around the property more broadly. He is practical, capable, and always willing to get involved. He was also fantastic with the kids and brought a lot of fun and energy to the household. They were both a pleasure to host and we would happily recommend them to other hosts looking for proactive, kind, and capable volunteers.

Mon épouse et moi avons demeuré chez Marie Noël et Charly.Les heures était très flexible.On n à nettoyé le jardin et refait une partie de la clôture.Nos hôte demeure à environ 1/2 heures de Fort de France Martinique et le trajet peut se faire en bus.La température est chaude à l année et la mer est bonne. On n’a bien dormi et surtout bien mangé car Marie Noël est une experte en cuisine locale et Charly connaît tout sur les fruits ,légumes et fleurs et plus encore de son chez lui. Il nous on accueilli comme des membres de l’a famille.Si vous ne connaissez pas la Martinique .Ils sont des guides fantastiques.Ce fut une échange culturel extraordinaire .Merci à Marie Noël et Charly

I applied for a two month stay, but after a few weeks already it became clear to me that I would extend my stay, eventually I stayed for 5 gratifying months. From the moment I got in touch until the moment I left and after, I always felt warmly received and treated with immense kindness. This made me feel at home quickly and turned Quinta into a place where I’d be happy to return to in the future. Ivone and Joep created an amazing project that does so many wonderful things to help contribute to a more beautiful and just world. There's the animal sanctuary part where animals in need are offered a safe haven to live free from oppression, there's the permaculture part where self-sustainability and ecological food are centered, there's the seed preservation and exchange part to combat the food system monopoly, there's the education part to spread awareness on animal welfare and ecology, … many things one can contribute to to help make this world a better place. During my stay at Quinta I used my years of animal sanctuary experience to help with animal care, cleaning, mapping out workflows, scheduling, writing out care manuals, and some smaller fixes. I also restored an old building by building up the walls, installing a new roof, plastering the walls, installing a new floor, restoring wooden beams, and installing a new fence around the place for it to become the new chicken coop. I’m very grateful I was able to contribute to this project, for all I've learned and experienced, for the great volunteers I’ve met and been able to share this experience with and especially to all the Quinta team for all they do to make this project a success. If you're a motivated volunteer that wants to contribute to a meaningful project with a flexible work/life balance don’t hesitate and get in touch. You will be received by the amazing Madalena who does a wonderful job on organizing the volunteers, managing the sanctuary part, bringing education and a trillion more things :)

During her stay, Asia quickly built a warm and trusting relationship with the children and demonstrated a natural ability to facilitate child-led learning in a thoughtful and engaging way. Rather than simply directing activities, Asia followed the children’s interests and helped them turn their ideas into meaningful experiences. She also showed excellent initiative outside of childcare. Notably, she independently started our kitchen garden project, choosing a practical, hands-on project that contributed to our project and environment. Her willingness to take initiative and find meaningful ways to help was something we greatly appreciated. Beyond her work, Asia was a lovely presence in our home. She is kind, dependable, and easy to have around. She approached her responsibilities with care and enthusiasm, and the children genuinely looked forward to spending time with her each day. Thanks Asia!

I have no proper words to describe this experience, the hostel felt like a home to me, from the guest that I helped to the shared meals and Catan nights with the others volunteers, being my first experience at a hostel as volunteer, it couldn't have been better than this, Nico has been an amazing host, and more than that, a friend. The work is really nice, everything is really organized and Nico communicated everything that has to be done, but at the same time I had a lot of time for myself, and I managed to get to know a lot about Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine with Nico's help and knowledge of the place . I recommend this experience to everyone who wants to join this amazing hostel project!! Gracias Nico!

I had an amazing time here. I stayed for 3 weeks and it was a very relaxing end to my trip in Taiwan.

Helena is fantastic. Always in a good mood and really open minded and interested in learning a lot about gardening, energy work, and spirituell aspects we do with our therapeutic gardens, she is very responsable and a hard worker, with perfection. She builded a lot of bamboo fences and terraces in our gardens, did a lot of weeding , created kokedamas, mobiles for our house, fighted against our "chusque-invasion", cooked, studied and created wherever she was, a friendly family and friendship atmosphere. It was really strange to let her go. She is part of our family. For all host who wants a initiative and gentil help at home or outside, she is the one. I highly recommend her. Hope she will come back very soon to us again.

My stay at Arlindo and Natália's place was wonderful and truly precious. I enjoyed our conversations, every dish Natália made (Está tudo delicioso!), spending time with their lovely dog and cat, and working in their beautiful house and garden. I especially appreciate their thoughtfulness and understanding. Arlindo gave me a great opportunity to create my artwork as an artist, and Natália was incredibly kind in helping me with my regular hospital visits. I can't thank them enough. I would love to go back again and share a meal with them overlooking the garden. I wish them the best of health and happiness.

Tsai! We love you so much- thank you for bringing all your beautiful love and creativity to our space by the sea. Wishing you all the magic on your journey. May you be surrounded by love always.

I had the best six weeks here with Sofia, Riley and the rest of the volunteers at this place. This was my fourth Workaway, and is undoubtedly my favorite by far. Every aspect of it was amazing. Sofia and Riley were incredible hosts. Communicative, welcoming, and fun to work with. The work was enjoyable, you're essentially a food server during meals..help to prepare basic drinks (wine, beer, etc.), and then you work reception by checking in hotel guests. It could be busy at times, especially during breakfast & lunch. The food was phenomenalllll. Three meals a day + a smoothie-- everything was so nourishing and yummy! Working alongside the kitchen and cleaning staff was one the biggest highlights. They were so fun to work with, and felt great to have such a supportive team when I had questions or needed assistance. I had plenty of time off to explore the neighboring towns, hike volcanos, and enjoy the activities/social scenes that the neighboring hostels. There was always a new adventure waiting !!! <3 I also really appreciated Sofia and Riley's emphasis on requiring Spanish at this Workaway. Between communicating with the kitchen/cleaning staff and Spanish speaking clients, I felt I was able to improve my Spanish a lot and appreciate the space on a deeper level. It is hard to describe just how beautiful Lake Atitlan + this hotel is. The birds, the lake, the trees, the cabins that were all built by hand !!! It was pure magic. I feel so grateful!!! Thank you again Sofia and Riley, wishing you two all the best. <3
