It was great having Jacek here with us. He has the type of positive attitude that is contagious. Too bad his visa was expiring and he couldn't stay longer. He was very helpful to his team members. We will now be in need of another drummer for our bonfires by the river :)

The description tells the truth - it is a paradise! A playground for DIY enthusiasts and nature lovers. Thomas goes to great lengths to ensure a comfortable stay for the volunteers. Not only does he explain and show what he wants to get done, he also attentively listens to volunteers' ideas and implements the good ones. The ambiance is very… read more

Anna and Steve generously shared their slice of paradise with me. They're very kind people! Anna made sure I was given the tasks which I enjoyed the most. The work hours are flexible so you can practically explore/ chill / work when you desire. I initially gave 4 starts for cultural exchange but then I remembered my first ever experience with… read more

Jacek was very enthusiastic, thoughtful, and always looking for extra ways to help out. Jacek was passionate about education and the environment which are both really important to us.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope you're doing well!

Inspirational! The best workaway experience! A touch of paradise which Antonin and Sarah kindly shared with me and others. Seeing how much they love each other and their children, how patiently they raise them, how much they share with volunteers and freinds reminded me what really matters in life.

1 hour after arriving at Pedro's farm, I more than doubled my knowledge about medicinal plants. The food forest is beautiful and plentiful, the horses so gentle, the dog so cute and laid back. And of course Pedro - a very generous and knowledgeable host, helpful and attentive. The work was variable and always within one capabilities. I quite… read more

Mohamed is a wonderful host! He walks extra 100miles to ensure the workawayers feel welcome, comfortable and are well fed. He exudes passion for Berber lifestyle!

Dear Volunteer, if you're reading this because you're considering working at Shamser's school, don't hesitate! Words like inspiring, rewarding, life-changing may sound cliché but they describe the experience. People leave the place and start their own NGOs, that's how strong it can impact you! Give your 100% and you'll receive 200! Bless Shamser… read more

My stay here felt like home! Linda and Liz were such a delight to work with and the owner is such a charmer! They all care for the place, keeping it clean and beautiful. The ambance of the hostel is perfect - not a party place but very social, full of interesting people and suitable for learning Spanish.

Jacek came to our place not knowing much about permaculture. But he put a lot of enthusiasm, hard work and motivation.
Was a great addition to our team and we had a good time.
Great spirit!
Best wishes on your path!

I came as an ignorant, I left as an enthusiast!
Only with time I came to appreciate how much I learned here and understood how much more I could've learnt. I knew next to nothing about organic building when I joined, now I can't wait to learn more and more about natural constructions and living in harmony with the planet.

I'll be another 'excellent' on the list.
On top everything that's been said, I can only mention that this place not only will help you chillax but will definitely bring you closer to nature and may even change the way you think about life.

Eye-opening! The experience I had here cannot be exchanged for anything in the world! Here, you can meet great people, feel the power of nature, learn a lot about life in the Amazon and about yourself. Highly recommended.
