We lived in the house together. I am happy that I got to know you, Asya, Adele, and Mete. We learned about plants and how to grow plants. Eva shared a lot of interestings about culture of countries and countries. We were cooking, doing food preparation, walking around, gardening, and spending time with and caring for horses. I miss you already, and hope we will see each other in the summer

Karo is hard working, a keen and quick learner and alot of fun. Karo is happy to give anything a go and turn her hand to any job that is required. Karo's enthusiasm is encouraging as She shares the load making tasks enjoyable. Karo is respectful, caring, flexible and responsible. Karo has a good understanding of family life and shares in the daily chores and responsibilities of maintaining a home; cooking food, cleaning, managing washing, tidying the kitchen, vacuuming and looking after the pets. Karo embraced the alternative life style, assisting with gardening, collecting firewood, chain sawing very large weeds, watering seedlings, planting seedlings, feeding ducks and chickens, mowing, weeding and planting comfrey. We ALL thoroughly enjoyed Karo's company and look forward to hosting her again.

I had such a wonderful time in Yala, I had a nice clean room, naufal and tokta they were caring, students were so sweet! the city of Yala is very diverse with a majority Muslim population, very friendly people, easy going, as long as you're respectful, like don't go around half naked or something. I had a wonderful time in Yala! the food is very nice also. naufal will be always there if you need anything!

My time with Claudia and Helmut was wonderful and exciting. Every day I was able to help with the horses and take their dog for walks. Their home is beautiful, and I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Their direct neighbors were also very friendly, and there’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere all around. Claudia and Helmut are amazing hosts, and I can highly recommend a stay on their farm to any Workawayer. We had great trips, shared delicious meals, and had lovely conversations! I learned a lot from them and will take many valuable lessons with me for the future. Every day was varied and, despite the “work,” relaxed, educational, and interesting. I’m already really looking forward to being back with them and the animals in January.

My stay here was wonderful from start to finish, both times I stayed at Bluebird Ranch. The setting is absolutely stunning, peaceful, wild, and full of beauty everywhere you look. The tiny house is so cozy and thoughtfully set up with everything you need. Lisa truly cares about your comfort and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home. She’s super fair and flexible with work and downtime, and genuinely wants you to enjoy all the amazing things the area has to offer. I left feeling recharged, appreciated, and inspired. Couldn’t recommend this Workaway more!

I can definitely recommend Lisa. She's a very chill and easygoing person. She's super respectful and tidy. She's an absolute rocket when it comes to housekeeping, very loving with my animals, and is a delicious chef 😁🥰

Francisco is a warm, gentle and generous spirit. He is mindful and considerate. He has unique perspective, patience in learning a new skills and a joyful demeanor. Francisco was great with our chickens and cats. He was very clean and organized. He was not shy about doing some gravel work and moved many wheelbarrow loads for our fire pit. We appreciated how he engaged fully in every activity we offered and enjoyed learning about the history of matte, hearing about his home/family and playing Bananagrams. We now have Bananagrams Espanol, because it was so fun! He is welcome here anytime!

Recibir a Gus fue una experiencia profundamente enriquecedora. Desde el primer momento sentimos su presencia como la de un ser humano íntegro, consciente y con un gran corazón. Fue, además, el primer voluntario que recibimos a través de Workaway, y difícilmente podríamos haber tenido un mejor comienzo. Gustavo es una persona con una visión hermosa y libre de la vida, que ha decidido caminar fuera del sistema y entregarse por completo a lo que la vida le ofrece a través del viaje y del servicio. Lleva consigo un mensaje de paz, amor y conciencia, que se alinea perfectamente con nuestro pensamiento como fundación. Durante su estancia participó en tareas de siembra, cosecha, cultivo y cocina, siempre con disposición, entusiasmo y una energía serena que inspira. Tiene una gran fortaleza física, pero también una profunda sensibilidad humana que le permite establecer lazos genuinos y significativos. Es un excelente conversador, un gran oyente y siempre aporta palabras sabias, reflexivas y llenas de amor. Compartimos con él momentos musicales inolvidables, conversaciones profundas y una convivencia llena de alegría y armonía. Nos deja un recuerdo precioso y el deseo sincero de volver a encontrarnos pronto. 🌿✨ Gustavo siempre tendrá un lugar especial.

Vietnamese lady, Ha Ly happily lived with me and my wife in our Ger home in Oct31-Nov1 2025 to make hand made noodles and join to milking grass fed cows. We made short talk named "#MongoliaFriend Ha Ly from the US" about her Mongolian travelling experience.

Tuvimos el placer de recibir a Kizzy. Es una persona muy dulce, abierta al diálogo y con una energía tranquila y amable que se sintió desde el primer día. Llegó con la intención de quedarse tres semanas, aunque finalmente permaneció solo una, tiempo que aprovechamos para compartir lindos momentos y celebrar su cumpleaños junto a nuestra comunidad 🌿🎂 Kizzy disfrutó mucho de la naturaleza, del paisaje y de la vida en la montaña, aunque el clima frío fue un desafío para ella. Aun así, colaboró con disposición en las tareas que pudo apoyar, siempre con buena actitud. Su dominio del inglés y su capacidad para enseñar y comunicarse fueron un gran aporte para todos; nos encantó poder practicar con ella y aprender desde su cercanía y amabilidad. Nos hubiera encantado que se quedara más tiempo, ya que sentimos que teníamos mucho más por compartir. Le deseamos lo mejor en su camino viajero y en todas las experiencias que la vida le ofrezca. 💫 Siempre bienvenida.

Tuvimos el gusto de recibir a Juan y Alice, una joven pareja viajera que llegó junto a su fiel compañero Ghost, un hermoso perrito muy tranquilo y amigable. Su paso fue una experiencia agradable. Son personas respetuosas, amables y con buena disposición, con quienes compartimos lindos momentos en la montaña. Creemos que tienen un gran potencial para seguir creciendo dentro de las experiencias de voluntariado. Les animamos a tomar más iniciativa y buscar maneras de integrarse de forma espontánea en las actividades del lugar, ya que tienen muchas cualidades y energía que pueden aportar a los proyectos que encuentren en su camino. Les deseamos lo mejor en su viaje y en las nuevas experiencias que vendrán. 💚 Siempre bienvenidos

A memorable Workaway… our second workaway Our one week stay with Donald and Weenie was truly meaningful … a great mix of cultural exchange, light work, and amazing local food. Arrival: Donald kindly came to pick us up from the airport late at night, even stopping for snacks before bringing us to his charming old wooden house. Though dark, we could already feel the peaceful and historic atmosphere. During the week: We were warmly welcomed each morning and toured their lovely garden full of tropical plants. Donald shared so much about Sabah’s nature and culture — even teaching us that jati means teak and showed us the beautiful benches he made w teak! He also treated us to local favourites like Sabah Ngiu Chap beef noodles and fish soup, both unforgettable. We helped clean and organize the house, baked a carrot cake, and spent a full day sanding and restoring an old swing — a satisfying project we sadly couldn’t finish before leaving, but we were glad to see it come back to life under Donald’s care. Persistence! A great trait. Donald gave us time to explore Kota Kinabalu, where we enjoyed the markets, cafés, and sights, before returning to the peaceful homestay on Wednesday. Very generous of Donald. Final day: We had breakfast together, shared warm conversations, and reflected on a week that was both relaxing and rewarding. We wish we had stayed longer! Thank you, Donald and Weenie, for your kindness and hospitality a wonderful second Workaway experience for me and my kids. The machinery experience was great for the boys.

Having Sara and Luca with us in Samrau was such a warm and happy experience. From the first day, they blended into our family like we’d known them for years. Everyone — from kids to elders — really liked them. They helped with everything on the farm and were always curious to learn about our culture and village life. One evening they cooked Italian pasta for all of us — it was so tasty that my family still talks about it! They also taught us a new card game that became everyone’s favourite after dinner. We had a great time together, full of laughter, good talks, and lovely moments with the family. The time we spent with them will always stay in our hearts. Sara and Luca, you will always have a home in Samrau. Come back soon — your Indian family is waiting for you. ❤️ — Chaman & Family

Kingsley was a joy to Host! He was so enthusiastic and open. I loved hearing about his home country and he even brought me couple of beautiful head scarves. He was so respectful and helped immensely. He worked diligently and whatever task he did, he did well. He was a huge huge help with my family and they thought he was a nice guy and so helpful. He was fun and seemed to enjoy himself. I will happily have him back when I move to my new home.

Estuvimos dos semanas trabajando con Martin y David. Fue una experiencia agradable, tuvimos muchísimo intercambio cultural con gente de varios países, es ideal para conocer otras culturas e idiomas. El trabajo es tranquilo y liviano.

Hector was the highlight of this Workaway! He was so personally invested in making sure I loved my time in Taltal. He knew all the best things to do, shared everything in his home without a second thought, and was incredibly open to share his stories and hear mine. His leadership and organization are impeccable, you’ll always know exactly where you need to be and when. I loved every day in Taltal and could have spent way longer there, thanks to Hector’s generosity, cooking, and sense of humor!! Can’t recommend this experience enough.—Finn Hector made us feel at home from the second we arrived. He’s super impressive (he dedicates so much of his time to the school), he’s cheerful, very community-oriented, and a phenomenal cook. He’s a ton of fun to go out with or just talk to, and living in his house is a great set-up. He has such a lighthearted, supportive relationship with the kids and it really makes the teaching fun. You really grow quite close to the kids, largely because of the close school culture. It’s a great balance of free time and volunteering, and the surrounding nature is really incredible. My experience in Taltal was truly wonderful. Hector goes out of his way for you without hesitation (he was always getting us in touch with people, organizing activities for us, etc. and one of the other volunteers lost their phone and he spent over five hours looking for it for them). I strongly recommend this experience, I miss it dearly and will not soon forget the strong sense of community and support I felt when I was there :) —Sophie

It was really great having Johanna stay. She was always up for a new job, a new skill or a new food making mission. She brightens up the room with her presence and is always out to please others. A very easy guest, really clever, and a great worker.

Florestine was an amazing guest. So very pleasant and lovely natured. Super easy to please. Always curious, polite and calm. She picks new and complex skills up incredibly quickly. She is very intelligent, hard working and fitted in with everybody. Highly recommended, and always welcome in Hawkes Bay.

Our stay with Charlotte was amazing. Our accommodation was nestled in the middle of the Koh Lanta rainforest and a short walk away from the stunning beach. Charlotte offers really comfortable private rooms with everything you need sorted out. The work was varied and depends largely on what's necessary to do before the high-season or in terms of general garden and house maintenance. Charlotte was very trusting as well as flexible, allowing us to operate on our schedule and handle the tasks in a way best suited for us. Make no mistake, it was tough work in the heat and humidity! Yet, very rewarding since the fruits of your labour will be right in front of you. We can definitely recommend this workaway for anybody who likes being close to nature and some hard work. Thank you for everything Charlotte!

If you like animals and you are not afraid of a hard work this opportunity is for you. I spent almost two weeks and Carina's place. I helped with fixing, renovating, breaking and burning stuff. After and before work we ate together breakfest and lunch. Carina is a very good cook. Her dogs are very lovely. At first you would be overwhelmed by them, by in the end you will love all of them. I really appreciate our evenings talking about everything and nothing. It was very relaxing and rewarding. Her place is a remote area. Not too many people are, although everyone of her neighbours were extremely nice and polite! Due to quite lot of work and the fact that I was injured during my stay I didn't explore surrounding area much, but still I had an opportunity to see a bit, especially that Carina took me many times to help her with shopping and for her friend's barbecue. I learned a lot about DIY stuff and bees. Carina, thank you so much for hosting me! :)
