We spend tow weeks, the first two weeks of December in Napayong. This was our first experience with workaway and we feel lucky to have met Gil & the workers.
During our stay we stay in “Napayong island EcoVillage” inside taal lake, this is a very quiet spot far of the noise city and surround of nature. Wake up every morning with the views of the… read more

Such a unique experience on Gil's "Shoe Island" !
We actually haven't been to the farm and directly went to the Island located on the Taal Volcano Lake. Gil have a project of creating a backpacker-trekker resort there and also an artist village. The island is great, we both felt like Robinsons during 2 weeks.

Gil is an amazing person who loves… read more

Herbana farm.
It seemed to be an Australian hippy community.
Friends & families came enjoying their time there, they looked free.
I also stayed in the island.
I felt back to the old time.
There was sometimes strong wind blowing, it was like god, awe inspiring.
Task was to get soil for the seedlings, make garden bed, mud bricks.
It couldn't be… read more

But, we were surprised because the farm looks like abandoned. It’s going to… read more

Also we participate in one of the seminars of intensive sustainable farming of Sr.… read more

I was here for a week & had a great time. It's always good to find a quiet spot away from the big cities. To live simply & do some work everyday. That's exactly what i found at Herbana. The family & workers were great, really made me feel comfortable & a part of the group.
Gil is an expert at this stuff. Many years doing this kind of work,… read more

Gil, Paolo and his family are really cool people that we really enjoyed getting to know. Gil clearly has a wealth of knowledge on farming organically and loves to teach anyone who wants to learn.
The only reason I am giving a very good instead of an excellent is for future workawayers - the accommodation is very basic and the toilets are quite… read more
