We had an amazing time volunteering with Teodora and her mother, Constanza. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable.
They were wonderful hosts, and the meals Constanza prepared were delicious.

At beginning of our stay, Teodora organized a coffee meet & greet where we met local community of like-minded … read more

I had a wonderful time in the olive grove of Sara and her mother. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, with views of Mount Etna and stunning sunsets in the evening. The work is not hard but intensive, and with a great team of women, every day of harvesting was a real pleasure. For me, it felt like a reset, an escape from the everyday hustle and … read more

I can’t say enough good things about Vincent and Maria! They only stayed at our property for about a week, but accomplished so much that it still feels like they were here for an entire month! 🙃😅 Their visit coincided with several other volunteers, all of whom were equally impressed by Vince and Maria’s incredible work ethic—and on top of that, … read more

We have finished a wonderful WorkAway with Dejana, who is an incredibly kind and welcoming host. We were fortunate to share the experience with several other WorkAwayers, and it was inspiring to see how everyone naturally contributed their strengths. Mealtimes and coffee or tea breaks were especially enjoyable, as we exchanged stories about travel … read more

Our first WorkAway experience at Eco Camping of Dona and Robert was great! They run a charming camping where you immediately feel at home.
Their day to day business with traveller's checking in/out and lots of people coming to enjoy rafting on the river keeps them busy from early morning till late at night whereby there is hardly time for other … read more
