It was super special to have Helen and Jojo contributing their energy on the farm - they're inspiring and intrepid explorers but also very grounded and clever, and they really became part of the farm while they were here! They brought their natural enthusiasm and curiosity to all aspects of their experience and it was a real joy to have them… read more

We couldn’t have wished for a better place to start our journey in Australia. Frutopia is a truly special place, and Deva and Maha are incredible. We discovered so many exotic fruits and cherished every moment here. 🥑 There’s something magical about this place — listening to Deva speak so passionately about nature, discovering Maha’s art, spending… read more

He is doing many different… read more

We stayed three weeks here. It was exactly what we needed at this time. A place to relax and take a break during our long journey. The place is just amazing, surrounded by hills and forest. There is a restaurant, a big land full of plants, a swimming pool, and lovely bungalow. The job was different everyday : helping at the restaurant, cleaning… read more

We spent 7 days in Lanchang. We planned to stay more but we decided to leave before because it was not really what we expected. The place in itself is nice, surrounded by nature. They have a big land with cows, fruits trees ect. The manager welcomed us very kindly and invited us to an indian restaurant after he picked us to the bus station.

We spent two weeks with Caroline in October 2024. At first, we struggled to escape overtourism in Vietnam, which is why we chose to do a Workaway — to experience local life and find a more authentic connection. And that's exactly what we found at Caroline’s place!
The “work” consisted of teaching English to local students in various schools. It… read more

Nous avons passé un mois chez Stavroula en janvier 2024. C’était quelques semaines hors du temps, dans ce petit paradis qu’est Gythio, au milieu des oliviers et à deux pas de la mer. Nous l’avons aidée à s’occuper de ses moutons chaque matin : les nourrir, nettoyer l’enclos... Stavroula est une femme inspirante, avec beaucoup de savoirs sur des… read more
