Ai was a wonderful help! It's evident right away that she is an artist because she does things with great aesthetic care and curiosity. Of the many things we worked on together, we put the most time into a new stone walkway at the entrance of the house. I'm so happy how it turned out and she took to the work naturally. I feel fortunate to have had… read more

Super host!
My stay for 2 weeks from the start of November have made me want to build an earth house and start a rice field.
Peter was very patient with all the questions I had about English to woodworking and anything else. I really appreciate the talks and discussions.

What a joy it was to host Ai! She was so tough with the cold in October ( what a trooper!) and every job she undertook she did it with a positive spin. Ai is open to trying any task, she takes her job seriously, and her work ethic and attention to detail is spot on. She worked with both of us, from processing garlic, to looking after our… read more

Living in the treehouse and spending time with Holly, Daniel and their family was such a wonderful experience.
I arrived mid-September and stayed for 3 weeks. During my stay, I helped out with, watering the greenhouse, cleaning up garlic, cleaning the chicken coop, and making the tipi! I mainly worked with Daniel as Holly was working in school.… read more

What can I say!! Staying at Slava's and his village was one of the most amazing experience I had in Russia.
I visited Slava's place on the 15th of October. It was still warm at this region. He had a beautiful house with a cat (Anatori) and two donkeys (Boy and Girl). The animals were full of personality.

We stayed at Matt and Jen's place for around a month and a half.
To start off with Myoko is such a beautiful place! Great nature and the ocean is not too far away for a wave craze like Nikolay. And so many mountains to explore if you love hiking like Ai. The people in Myoko are what makes the small village extraordinary as well!

I (Ai) stayed at Mori-san’s place for two weeks. The house is at the very corner of a village surrounded by mountains. My first job was to help finish a bamboo deck in the forest with another workawayer. I loved the bamboo forest and you’re free to take a bamboo back to do some crafting! Also Mori-san’s mum was very kind to take me for mushroom… read more
