We have been hosting Workaway volunteers now for over two years and have had in excess of 60 travellers come through our doors. It has been an overwhelmingly positive experience, however we had a situation recently that really left us scratching our heads and wondering what to do and what the right course of action should have been...
Ready to invite travellers into your home or project and begin your journey as a Workaway host? We know how important it is that you choose workawayers who are a good fit! So here we are going to show you how you can connect with just the kind of travellers and volunteers you’re looking for..
We all know how great it is to have an extra pair of hands around, and as hosts we often think we have a clear idea of what we’d like our volunteers to help us with. BUT, having been a Workaway host for over 15 years, there have been many unexpected benefits which I could never have envisaged!
“It is more than just a farm, it’s a way of life :). We really love what we do. We wake up every day at 4:00 AM with a smile on our faces, ready to start a new day. We feel lucky that we have a good life.” This month’s Workaway “Host of the Month”, a beautiful organic farm from the Jordan Valley reminds us to slow down and enjoy the view.
It’s been a whole year since we started interviewing our hosts, and what amazing people we have spoken to! This month is no exception with Geneviève and Erick from France, at their beautiful organic farm community.
This month may be one of our favourite interviews so far. We sent 2 of our team members Shirley and James to Vietnam to discover hosts away from their laptops. Little did they expect to meet such an amazing 12-year old girl and our youngest ever host– ok, her family are the one that are actually hosting, but she loves Workaway so much we just had to interview her!
