Wonderful experience! Victoria and I stayed for 2 weeks with Shirin and Aunty (88 years young!). It was a really fantastic stay with so much rewarding work and absolutely delicious food.
The garden is amazing and we learnt a lot about permiculture while trying to help keep the property in good condition.

Hi, Paul & Victoria!
Thanks for being part of our plantation for a month. Your presence here has been so memorable, thanks to your friendliness and professional work. You're definitely special, as this is the first time we've had volunteers or even interacted with people from New Zealand, hehe... so, congratulations!

An absolutely outstanding experience that you just must do! Everything about this Workaway is perfect. But what really sets it apart are the people! Everyone there is so friendly and helpful and made the stay incredible. From Mr Wima and his family to Andrei and Lydia who really looked after us and of course Mr Poer!

Paul and Victoria were one of the nicest people I've ever met! They helped a lot in our project, and totally transformed our grounds! They were so hard-working and very dedicated to supporting what we plan to do here. They were also very easy to communicate with, light-hearted, and fun to be around. They were also very independent and knew their… read more

We had a fantastic stay at Angel's place! We stayed for 2 weeks and really enjoyed being there. Most of the work we did was in the gardens and activities with the local children. It is a very relaxed place to be and you can do anything you feel can add value to the programme. Others helped with social media etc.

We had a fantastic two weeks olive harvesting with Evelina and Maurizio!
While the work was physical, it was incredibly rewarding. Their hospitality was exceptional, providing us with great accommodation and delicious meals.
Evelina and Maurizio are wonderful hosts, and we can’t recommend this experience enough!

Paul y Victoria estuvieron 3 semanas en mi casa cuidando de los animales y el lugar. Los dejé solos durante todo el tiempo y la verdad es que hicieron un trabajo excelente. Son responsables, trabajadores y respetuosos.
Espero volverlos a ver.

Our stay at Jordis place was perfect! Very quiet location, beautiful weather and the loveliest dog, Troi we have ever looked after! The work was mainly looking after Troi and the 4 cats and we did some gardening as well although it was not expected of us. Jordi was a great host, and we spent 3 nights with him, he even helped us with our car and… read more
