Lucile stayed with me for one week in May. She was great company - very kind with a great sense of fun. She is very knowledgeable about plants, experienced with garden work, and has great initiative. I am very thankful for all the work she did here. She's a great cook too! I would love to welcome Lucile back here anytime. She's a gem.

Anastasia was a wonderful volunteer and a great person to have around. From the beginning she showed a positive attitude, was reliable, and always willing to help when needed. She worked well with guests and the team, helping create the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that is so important in a hostel. She was respectful, easy to communicate with, and adapted quickly to daily tasks. Guests enjoyed interacting with her, and her presence contributed positively to the overall experience at the hostel. Beyond the work itself, Anastasia was simply a pleasure to host. We are grateful for the time she spent with us at out hostel and wish her all the best in her future travels and adventures. We would happily recommend her to any future host

We had a great Workaway experience! First, let’s talk about the facilities. We had our own bedroom in a quiet part of the house, and we shared the bathroom only with the cats when they ate🤣! Second,the finca is so beautiful, and we enjoyed the view in the morning and after work. The three of them have been so welcoming that when we left, we felt like leaving good friends! Claudia is a great cook, with very varied dishes and so very good! Now, the work. Stefan had some projects in mind and would help us and discuss them in the morning and would let us work on them , coming regularly to see if we needed anything or clarification. We were very happy with the projects we had: building shelves for mushrooms , packing / preparation of mushrooms for growth/re-roofing the chicken coop , and a bit of weeding. We were very lucky to get to know the family and will cherish this experience with them for a long time!

Que les puedo decir de Lea y Emma, son encantadoras, siempre trabajaron con entusiasmo, responsabilidad y una excelente actitud. Además, son personas muy divertidas, amables y respetuosas, lo que hizo que la convivencia fuera muy agradable. Estamos muy agradecidos por todo lo que aportaron y las recomendamos totalmente a cualquier anfitrión. ¡Esperamos volver a verlas algún día! 😊 Muy buen viaje.

This was so far one of my most favorite spots to volunteer! Wilson is so kind and made sure I and other volunteers feel comfortable and like home. The job is not complicated- reception tasks and keeping the area around the hostel clean. Wilson also went above and beyond by booking me on a tour to see la Fortuna. If was such a beautiful tour and time here. Love la Fortuna itself, so many things to do and explore! Recommend this workaway 🫶✨️

I volunteered here for three weeks, and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The hostel is beautiful, clean, well-organized, and located in a perfect spot to explore La Fortuna and all the incredible nature surrounding it. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it easy to feel at home and connect with both guests and other volunteers. A special thank you goes to Wilson, the manager, who is truly one of the best hosts I have met during my travels. He is kind, patient, supportive, and always available whenever you need help or have questions. He does a great job creating a positive environment where everyone feels welcome and appreciated. My role was as a receptionist, and the tasks were very simple and straightforward. The work was well organized, and there was always plenty of free time to explore the area. One of the biggest perks was having access to free tours and activities, which made the whole experience even more memorable. I met so many wonderful people from all over the world, and the volunteer team was fantastic. We shared great moments together, both at the hostel and during our adventures around La Fortuna. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a volunteer experience with a great balance between work, social life, and exploration. Thank you, Wilson and the entire team, for making my stay so special!

We stayed for about 10 days and had such a wonderful experience. The kids are incredibly sweet, friendly, and always so helpful. We had so much fun together, especially swimming in the Nile! One of our favorite memories was organizing a treasure hunt for the kids. Seeing their excitement, joy, and gratitude for the little things was truly unforgettable. And Mama Flo is simply amazing – one of the most loving and dedicated moms we have ever met. The way she shares everything with the children and always makes sure everyone is happy and well-fed is so inspiring. She also took such great care of us as Workawayers and made us feel completely at home. This is a truly special project, and supporting it is absolutely the right decision. We are very grateful for the time we spent here and will carry these memories with us for a long time. Lots of Love Silke & Philipp

Bea was a wonderful volunteer at our center. She is a kind, friendly, person who quickly became part of our educational community. During her stay, she taught English alongside our local teachers and contributed positively to the learning environment. She was always cooperative, and eager to help students improve their language skills. We truly appreciated her dedication and positive attitude. Thank you, Bee, for your valuable contribution, and we wish you all the best in your future adventures.

Luis was a tremendous help around our home. He worked hard and was respectful. He did his best with every job we asked of him—everything from digging up rocks and cleaning trash to providing technical assistance. He always approached his tasks with a smile on his face. Even my five-year-old enjoyed his company, and Luis always made time to answer and discuss everything my child asked him. Luis is a true treasure and is always welcome back in our home anytime he is in the area.

I Had a wonderful time volunteering here! Cecile and Michel were so friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely amazing, and the accommodation was excellent . Their 10 beautiful horses made every day a joy, and the work never felt too hard. Highly recommend this farm to anyone looking for a rewarding and relaxing stay. Thank you for everything!

¡Muchísimas gracias por esta maravillosa semana en Tenjo! Emma y yo disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra estadía con su familia. Descubrimos un lugar tranquilo y hermoso, donde comimos delicioso, descansamos muy bien y nos sentimos acogidas con muchísimo cariño. Hicieron que esta experiencia fuera realmente especial. Un agradecimiento muy especial para Juan Camilo, con quien nos reímos muchísimo. Eres una persona increíble, divertida y muy querida. ¡Y la próxima vez te gano en Monopoly! 😉 — Lélé También queremos agradecer de todo corazón a Don Alirio por su amabilidad y por todo lo que nos enseñó sobre los caballos. Fue un verdadero placer aprender con usted. Y una mención especial para Ginevra y Aston, los dos perros más cariñosos del mundo. 🐶❤️ Ya los extrañamos. Nuestro único pequeño arrepentimiento es no haber tenido la oportunidad de probar la cocina de la Mamá, pero esperamos que sea para la próxima. Entre los caballos, la jardinería, la pintura, las caminatas, las cabalgatas y las partidas de Monopoly, vivimos una semana llena de momentos inolvidables. Gracias nuevamente por su hospitalidad, su cariño y su generosidad. Recomendamos esta experiencia mil veces y esperamos volver a verlos algún día. Con mucho cariño, Emma y Léa ❤️

I had a wonderful experience in Daintree. The beautiful nature made this place very special, and the hosts were kind and welcoming. It was also great to meet and spend time with the other people staying there. Even though my English wasn’t very good, they were patient and helped me improve it. Alex’s wife’s cooking was amazing. I really enjoyed all the meals she prepared. I highly recommend this place.

Katie and Konrad are fantastic hosts! My experience with them will be hard to top! Having completed many Workaways themselves, they bring a unique understanding to hosting, which made this opportunity feel extra special. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly welcomed, cared for, and appreciated. I loved hearing about their travel adventures and learning from their experiences. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and have helped me tremendously with my own travel plans. I really enjoyed helping them while also learning new skills along the way. Having exposure to both German and Catalan in the home was such a unique and enriching experience as well. Thank you both for your kindness and generosity. I couldn’t have asked for a better Workaway experience and would highly recommend Katie and Konrads’ Workaway opportunity.

We enjoyed hosting Pénélope and Antoine for 4 weeks. They are open and pleasant. They work well together and have fun with their everyday tasks. Antoine has an incredible amount of energy and Pénélope helped a lot with computer technical stuff. They participated in our spiritual ceremonies and sharing circles and it was a pleasure to see them grow emotionally and spiritually. I feel overall they always had the best of intentions and always did their best. We wish them well on their journey.

It was a pleasure having Charlotte stay with us. Although her stay was short, we would have loved to have had her with us for much longer. Charlotte fitted in so well with everyone in our family. She was wonderful with the children and always willing to help around the house. She has a calm and peaceful presence, and her lovely personality made her a joy to be around. She put great effort into helping with Andre’s party, and we really appreciated all her help. One thing we especially valued was how attentive she was to the children’s wellbeing. If she noticed anything concerning that we may have missed, she kindly brought it to our attention to ensure the children’s health and safety were always looked after. We truly appreciated her honesty and thoughtfulness. Charlotte would be a wonderful addition to any host family. She approaches every task with willingness and care, and we highly recommend her.

We feel incredibly lucky that Azura chose to stay with us. From the very beginning, communication was effortless, and that ease continued throughout her entire stay. She is a genuinely wonderful person to have around and quickly became a valued part of our home. Azura is proactive and hardworking. She takes great care in everything she does. She helped us in so many different ways: preparing for our move by carefully packing our belongings, light maintenance, creative projects, preparing delicious meals, etc. Whatever she was doing, she was always organised and thorough. One of the things we appreciated most was how tidy and considerate she was. She kept shared spaces immaculate, was always willing to help, and consistently went above and beyond without needing to be asked. Hosting her felt effortless. We would also like to give a special mention to how wonderful she was with our baby. He absolutely adored her and would often seek her out just for a smile or a cuddle. In her free time, she would happily play with him or read him stories, and it was clear how naturally caring and kind she is. We weren't looking for childcare, but if we had been, we would have trusted her completely. Beyond all of her practical help, Azura was simply a joy to spend time with. She is warm, thoughtful, curious, and brought so much positivity to our household. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and sharing experiences together. We cannot recommend Azura highly enough. Any future host would be incredibly lucky to welcome her into their home. She truly embodies everything we love about the Workaway experience and will always be welcome back with us. More than a workawayer, she became our friend, one we hope to stay in touch with for many years to come.

We loved staying with Scott and Alysha on their beautiful property. Their daughters are bright, kind, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. They are the sweetest girls and very well-mannered (hi Mazie and Dezi!). Scott is hilarious, always has an entertaining story to tell, and has a strong work ethic. You will learn a lot from him and be impressed by all that he is building and nurturing. Alysha is a great listener, has many insightful things to teach, and will make you feel cared for and understood. They are great people and parents. Scott’s mom, Susanne, was staying nearby in another trailer, and she was so welcoming and generous with sharing her herb garden and inviting us for a bonfire one evening. We shared several nutritious meals with the family during our stay, including fresh eggs and chicken from their farm, veggies from the greenhouse, and honey from the beehives. We stayed in a private trailer and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of rain at night. We even had our own fire pit to enjoy. We were welcome to use the house for showers and laundry when needed. Our main tasks included building a fence, learning how to operate a skid steer, tidying up around the home and property, cooking, watching the girls, assisting with mushroom growing, and other fun learning experiences like tending to baby chicks. During our downtime, we explored the many walking trails on the land, rode an ATV, took in the fresh air, played with kittens, and were able to relax in nature. Downtown Radium is a stone’s throw away for some shopping or a visit to the hot springs. Invermere is about a 20-min drive for affordable groceries. We had just moved to Alberta without having many connections, and left Radium feeling like we made good friends. We recommend staying here, as you will learn a lot and build positive memories to reflect fondly on. We can't wait to come back and visit! Rachel and Ken

Once in a while, you'll visit a place that you know you're going to have to return to. Pikirangi is one of those places. Mark is a wonderful teacher and to say that his story is inspiring would be an understatement. It is truly special to eat, make fire and live in buildings built from the trees he planted. And the volunteer hub is a wonderful way to meet and connect with others. We even made dumplings together from scratch! Stay at Pikirangi if you can. The work will be physically challenging, but the experience will nourish your soul.

This was my first Workaway, as well as my first time solo traveling, so going into this, I was very nervous about this entire experience, but Cesar has created and environment where you feel like a member of the family the moment you arrive at the surf house. Cesar is a great host that is very friendly and caring, and is family is the same, Making your stay feel like home, rather than just another hostel. With a very light workload, it honestly felt like I wasn’t doing enough to help this amazing family. The waves here in Huanchaco are consistently good, and there was always time in the day to go out and surf. With constant day trips to Chicama available, sandboarding, and the beautiful city of Trujillo just bus ride away, there was always something fun and new to do. It was such a unique experience that I will remember for the rest of my life, The people I met and the memories I made here have set very high expectations for my next Workaway! I hope that someday my travels bring me back here!

Dear Birgitta. Staying with you and your cats was an absolute pleasure! You were an excellent host and we had a good time helping with sowing, weeding, picking up seaweed and other things as well. We enjoyed the meals you made us with vegetables, berries and salads from your garden. We are gonna miss the green soup and white bean sauce! We also enjoyed exploring the area and the midnight sun. What a magnificent place you live! Thank you so much for letting us share some weeks with you in your home and garden. Best regards Alberte and Cecilia
