We enjoyed the time with Erin and Alex so much. They helped us in different kinds of work and always did their best. And especially Elisabeth loved it so much that Erin always made the dishes. In the meantime they have been here with us for a second time just for a visit and we hope that it will not be the last time. All the best for both of you.… read more

Einbach is beautiful, and the mill sits apart from the village in a valley of flowers, birds, the Bach and trees. The village is relatively remote, quiet and slower in pace, with very little reception and no Wifi in the sleeping area. We knew this and welcomed taking a break from social media and surfing the web.

We did a lot of different work… read more

She is managing a larger property with multiple building and gardens and trying to develop a co-living community in Wales.

I am really thankful to have stayed with Namfon while in Luang Prabang, she is a remarkable young lady. She has accomplished a lot for herself considering her age, and she is very determined to keep building. I did find it hard to coordinate sometimes, between schedules and communication, and I think I am little old for her rhythm of life :wink:… read more

I volunteered with the Hostel during December, which is the high season for the beaches in Goa. Arambol beach is fun and beautiful, and Shekhar and Deepthy have a nice spot that they have turned into a restaurant and hostel. I helped with promoting their business by handing out flyers, speaking with customers and creating a customer survey. I also… read more

I stayed with Jid in Thailand for 10 days in March. Jid's property is being developed to support day to day life through the principle of permaculture. Planted on the property is rice, some vegetables and many different fruit trees. Many of the trees are still young, so I helped Jid with fertilizing them and making watering systems.

It was amazing to see how much has been built by Venetia, Gautam, Jeune, Avin, their kids and the previous volunteers, and it was wonderful to share in the plans to expand the community more. I helped Venetia by taking care of baby… read more

Christophe is creative, kind and generous (sharing what he has). I spent 2 weeks with Christophe in Nov/Dec, so I didn't work in the garden, but I did help Christophe prepare for an art exhibit. He was very good about including me even though my French is poor. His house isn't too far from the city Millau, and the surrounding mountains are lovely.

Janna and Jon and their 2 kids are an interesting family, who are very comfortable with hosting new comers. It didn’t take me long to start jiving with my two small companions. Because of a family situation I spent most of my time helping care for their children, which was fun.

Erin came and helped my family out at a key time when we had a death in the family. It was such a blessing to have her around. She is a great cook and was such a help with the kids! We were so thankful to have Erin stay with us.
