Staying with David and Sarah (and sweet Louis) was an absolute treat. They are kind, patient, caring and fun people. I learnt tons about biological gardening and farming, the cheese making process (although due to circumstances there was less cheese making and more cheese eating) and the history of Australia. I felt welcome and cared for, being part of their family while also having my own space and time. I can't express my gratitude enough for having stayed in Lyonville with them. It's a life long memory and bond. They are the exemplary reason why anyone should do a workaway.

I had a great experience with this family. They are kind, welcoming, and excellent people. I really enjoyed helping them in the garden and around the property, and I always felt comfortable and appreciated. The work was fair, communication was excellent, and I would happily recommend them to other Workawayers. Thank you for everything!

We were very happy to have Natalia and Thomas at our place. Thanks a lot guys for helping us out and for your happy company.

Vielen Dank an Jacqueline, Christa und Bruno. Es war sooo schön euch kennen lernen zu dürfen. Ihr wart eine absolute Bereicherung, sehr große Hilfe für Birgit & mich und mein Zuhause 😀 wir vermissen euch. Ihr seid jederzeit herzlich willkommen in Wennbüttel. Liebe Grüße Heike

It was a pleasure to host Elsien at our farm. She was very helpful, enthusiatic, respectful and a fast learner, picking up new tasks with ease. She willingly shared her knoweledge of culture and language with us which we very much enjoyed. And cooked for us on numerous occasions which we loved. We would highly recommend Elsien to other hosts. We have certainly made a new friend and plan to keep in touch.

Volunteering at the dog shelter was a pleasure. The members here always made sure I had everyting I need, and the dogs were always very happy to see me. The shelter is in the center of the town, 2 minutes from cafes and bakeries, with view on the beach. The daily tasks are feeding the dogs, walking the dogs, playing and socialising the dogs. And on some occasions, taking dogs to the veterinarian or geting dog food from the shop. The longer you meet the dogs, the better relation you have with them and they become your close friends. Hora is a typical coastal greek town you see on postcards, white houses, churches and sea. If you like running with dogs on the beach, eating spanakopita and drinking freddo espresso, you will love this place !

Lorraine and Arnie were our first Workaway hosts and we spent two wonderful weeks with them! We did a variety of different tasks around the house and always felt truly appreciated, even for the smallest things. They were very considerate of our vegetarian diet and made sure we had plenty of options. Ben, their son taught us a lot about golf and we loved playing Skip-Bo together almost every evening! Overall we would always recommend Lorraine and Arnie! They made us feel welcome from day one and were truly inspiring people and we couldn‘t have imagined better hosts for our first Workaway experience!

Le deseamos todo lo mejor en su aventura por la vida en bicicleta y esperamos poder recibirlo nuevamente en el futuro

Dori and Laura were the best Workawayers you could ask for. From day one, they were hardworking, reliable, and able to work completely independently. Whatever task was given to them, they took ownership of it and got it done without needing supervision. They helped with gardening, woodwork, general maintenance, and even looked after our 5-month-old baby with great care and responsibility. It was a huge help and gave us complete peace of mind. Beyond their work ethic, they were simply great people to have around: friendly, positive, easy-going, and a lot of fun to spend time with. They brought great energy to our home and quickly felt like part of the family. I would welcome them back anytime and can recommend them without hesitation to any host. If you have the chance to host Dori and Laura, take it, you won't be disappointed.

Aleeeeee ! Alejandro is an amazing volunteer ! If you're looking for social persons that can gathered people together, organise games and lead the way for some activities and days trips, he's the one ! We're so glad to had him in our team for months ! He's a nice and kind guy, funny and really skilly and interesting ! Hope to see you again my friend, always welcome home ! To other hosts : Go for Ale without any hesitations, you won't regret it !

Fenomenal, desde el inicio me inspiraron confianza, son una pareja con mucha alegría que transmiten a cada segundo, ayudaron demaciado cortando verduras, ordenar, sembrar algunas plantas, cercar con cañas y muchas tareas mas, siempre muy atentos, Belinda hace unas deliciosas tostadas y chocolate y Stephen hace una deliciosa pasta. La última noche una deliciosa cena 😋. Tienen que conocerlos. Gracias por la ayuda🙏🏻.

My time here was nothing short of amazing. Jacqueline is a very special woman who will make you feel very at home from minute one with her warm and grounded presence. I spent 4 weeks in this little bubble of peace and quiet, taking care of the sweetest animals Keyloa, Venus and cuddling Ciel, the cat, while also tending to the garden and big outdoor space. The work mainly consisted in weeding, trimming, removing brambles, moving logs and cleaning up already cut grass, and also helping with getting the gîte ready when guests were about to check in for a few days. You will not need to use any heavy machinerie (unless you want to) as there is already someone coming to help with the bigger jobs. Working outside in this beautiful property was such a gift, I can only recommend spending some time there and soaking it all in! I came for a Workaway and left with so much more. Thank you Jacqueline for such a special time spent together, I already miss you all 🤍

Viviane's semi off-grid cabin is beautifully hidden in the Luxembourg forests yet easily accessible with public transport. In my time here we worked in the garden and did some woodworking projects in and around the house. I enjoyed the many walks with the dogs (and cats, they join too!), and Viviane took me to see many places nearby. After work there were amazing home-cooked meals and good talks. This is a really nice place to go back to nature and things that matter, simple living away from society with homegrown food and good company. If you like animals and hiking, and doing garden and renovation/construction work, then you'll love it here!

I visited the hostel for a week, and it was a very enriching experience. Emerson and his family are incredibly kind and sweet people; they treated me wonderfully. I not only helped out at the hostel but also in a small leathercraft workshop, where he told me five generations have been working with leather. I assisted him at the hostel and with creating content for social media related to leatherwork. I learned a lot about Emerson's trips and excursions to Imbabura and other places in Ecuador, as well as about leather. I would love to return.

I had the pleasure of having Danii at my house for 15 days. She is a very intelligent, independent, working and respectful girl. She has various knowledge in the field of botany, he has arranged all my lavender plants and other work in the field. She speaks several languages, so he helped me produce documents in English and I couldn't have done it alone. Cook well and in an original way. She loves animals, especially horses. She's awake! Today is not so normal... I wish you all the fortunes in the world and I hope I can see you again one day, here you will always be well accepted, not as a workaway but as a friend

Max and Ella were a fantastic help to our team. With a positive and friendly vibe every morning, they would both diligently help with their breakfast shift tasks. With a great sense of humour they would always be lifting spirits in the hostel by making guests and colleagues laugh and have fun. I would most definitely recommend Max and Ella as they are very professional and have a very solid knowledge of professionalism in the workplace. They quickly picked up local knowledge as well as hostel information to be able to help guests. Thanks so much for all the help and the good times guys! Safe travels :)

Apologies for my late review post! I had such a special one month at Rocci’s cute hostel! Rocci is an incredibly kind person who always takes an excellent care of both hosts and workawayers. I got one room for myself and stayed comfortably during my stay. I usually worked in the morning and mainly helped her cleaning, repairing and decorating the rooms for the guests. The place is located about 20 minutes from the centro of Oaxaca. There is a bus stop just in front of the house, so it is pretty convenient to go to Centro (but the way back takes longer). If you walk 10-15 minutes, there is a local town where you can get pretty much everything you will need for your stay here (panadería, lavandería, comedor, etc). I could visit centro on the weekend and also major sightseeing places such as Monte Alban, Mitle, and Hierve de Agua. Rocci was so kind to invite us to dinner on Christmas and New Year with her son and daughter. She also took us to her church on Sundays where we could interact with local people. I really enjoyed talking and getting know the guets through cooking in the outdoor kitchen. I was so lucky to be a workawayer in her place and it was such a pleasure to meet Rocci and her sweet family members. I’ll never forget this experience and treasure this special memory for the rest of my life. ¡Muchas gracias por tu amabilidad, cuidado y cariño! Estoy realmente agradecida con Dios por haberme dado esta oportunidad de ser voluntaria de Workaway y aprender tanto de ti. Gracias también por tener paciencia con mi español! I wish the best for you and your family! We’ll keep in touch:)

This is a very artistic, quietly humorous, hardworking girl. A pleasant acquaintance I can highly recommend.

'Twas a dynamic, enlightening & serendipitous workaway - especially for a city girl! I experienced so much... - learning what sheep, goats, piggies, chickens and ducks eat (LOOP!) - learning multiple languages and cultures, as there were fellow workaways with me - seeing the world with whimsy from playing with the kids - eating farm fresh eggs for breakfast everyday (never seen yolk so golden) - trying bacon from happy pigs while on a spontaneous trailer camping trip and more.. Thank you Lauren, Ciaran, Ellia & Calla :)

I stayed at the center for two wonderful weeks. Everyone there is so compassionate and welcoming. I talked to many of them about how they came into Buddhism and ended up their center, they're all very open and listening to their stories was transformative for me. I got to to attend some of the meditations and tso offerongs which was an awesome privilege. The work ranged from mopping to chopping vegetables to weeding to cleaning rooms to making pizzas! All so much fun and in good company! The atmosphere is tranquil and there are smiling faces everywhere. it's a wonderful place to be.
