Description
Future friends,

I’m aiming to live more intentionally and in a way that works for me, refusing to follow blindly to what is considered 'normal'. I like to move around and see different things.

Focusing on new skill acquisition, presence and healing, I’ve visited places I never knew existed and I'm appreciating the interesting conversations along the way.

An abundance of gratitude for the varied experiences I’ve had through here and excited for whatever is next :)

Rob is a beacon of compassion at our animal shelter, consistently going above and beyond for our furry residents. His genuine love for cats and dogs shines through in every task he undertakes, simply offering a comforting cuddle.

I passed through here for 3 weeks November/December 23’ and really enjoyed the experience there. The Shelter itself, the facilities and the hard work shown everyday by both staff and volunteers is impressive. The work itself was simple and very well organised (mostly cleaning and walks), there is a system for everything and anyone around is happy… read more

I stayed here April - October 2023 and got a lot out of the experience of being there. You can feel how much Iona cares about the place and creating a welcome experience and a fluid team and a lot of good memories were made with the varied cast we had across the season. The accommodation provided was good and there was an abundance of food, with… read more

It was an absolute pleasure to have Rob on our team this season. He initially signed up for a shorter spell and we were thrilled when he decided he'd like to stay on until the end of the season.

Rob was a completely reliable and diligent team member and worked all across the business: reception, housekeeping, table waiting, outdoor work, and… read more

Rob's a great guy and very easy going. He gets on with tasks easily, and is open to communication. Rob was very much liked by the other volunteers, he's a kind and fun fella to have around. He ended up staying with us for longer than planned (which was very welcome), and may be returning later in the year too. Thanks so much for your efforts Rob,… read more

I really enjoyed a month spent here. Sarah and chris are always in communication for anything you need regarding the dogs, flat, general information etc. The shelter is small and luckily there weren’t too many dogs there, with 2 being adopted during my time, but they are all full of personality and it was definitely a hard good bye (Especially… read more

Working and hanging-out with Rob was great. He was very responsible about every task and he did very good job for felting the hats. He is such a nice person and very easy to be around. Thank very much for all your helps and i wish best of luck with your travels and life.

I stayed with Sabri for a week and really enjoyed my time there, he was always happy to give recommendations and made us some really good food. The felting process was harder than I imagined and interesting to learn about and the hats we were working on had interesting designs. The days flowed well, sharing breakfast before working together with… read more

I spent 3 weeks here March/April, this hostel is great, it really has a true hostel vibe, it’s in a great central location. Whilst i was here i was mostly helping out on reception and making the breakfast, all tasks are pretty easy and you get used to how things flow quickly, it’s also nice to have clear lists of the things you should be doing on… read more

I spent around a month here during low season Feb/March. Merli and Kiti were really nice, flexible and responded quickly whenever i needed something, it would of been nice to say goodbye in person. Bea, who cleans and makes breakfast, was also super nice to me despite the heavy language barrier, making sure i’d eaten and always smiling.

A month here has flown by, and i feel this is a great work away for anyone whether you have lots of previous volunteering experience or none at all. Everything is very relaxed, friendly, and well organised. You and the other volunteers have a lot of freedom between you to decide how things get done and working together you get through the tasks… read more

Even when I left the hostel for a few weeks I knew Rob will keep doing the same amazing job he he have had been doing for the past days.

I think this place is really unique and you won’t find an experience quite like it, if you’re very social you will love being here as there is always loads of other volunteers, who you will always be around as well as staff.

The tasks in each department are always kept simple, it is respected that you are a volunteer and not full time staff,… read more

Rob is amazing and kind person. My family and I had a pleasure to spend a whole month with him in our campsite and we really enjoyed.

He is honest and nice, besides helping around the campsite and preparing woods for winter. He is ready to help with suggestions and ideas.

He is easy to communicate with because he tries to see a person in front… read more
