I must say, at the beginning I was a little overwhelmed by Yonkers as it is very different to the place I live in, but their house feels like a shelter in the big city and is very comfortable.

Ben and April were my last stay in the UK after almost five month and I could not have asked for a better place than theirs to end my travels. It is a quiet peaceful place near the beach, so you can expect a lovely time in nature. Cornwall is very beautiful and I recommend going there.

We stayed at the farm for about three weeks in January and had a wonderful time. We came to do a great variety of work including taking care of the animals, cleaning the polytunnels and gardening. We were lucky and got to see a lot of cute Baby piglets who were born while we were there. The staff was very helpful and we learned a lot from… read more

I really enjoyed having Emily and Theresa to stay. Unfortunately for them I had returned to work and they had to get on some of the time on their own which they did well. We completed a variety of tasks together and they always were willing and had a smile on their faces. I hope they have gone on to other successful workaway experiences.

We had a wonderful time at the Buddhist Centre. The amazing and friendly community as well as the area itself contributed to a valuable experience. We never had a boring day, there were a lot of different chores to do and the days always went by fast. Always being surrounded by friendly staff or other workawayers also helped making the work easy.… read more

What a lovely pair of friends! Not only were they engaging but they were also very productive. Though young they were mature for their age. It was sad to see them go as they were so helpful and nice to have around. We wish them all the best for their next travels and studies at University.
