Saffy stayed 3 weeks with me, in my house. She is absolutely the best workawayer I’ve ever had, so easy going and yet full of initiative. Her horse experience obviously was a giant help, but she’s not afraid of taking the lead on other projects, like painting for instance. She seems to me like a person sooo talented in just taking and enjoying the opportunities that roll her way. Persons like Saffy are rare. I so much hope that her future will involve a return to my place as a friend and we can continue our talks. AND…her Spanish is so much better than she thinks. This was a great workaway experience Saffy. Thank you

Lucas is a wonderful man with a big heart, he cares about the others, and his environnement. He is sensitive and respectful. He has golden fingers with woodwork and make a perfect work. He likes animals and he is social, reliable, full of qualities, He helps me a lot, I recommend 100 %

J'ai fait ma première expérience en tant que Workawayeuse chez Hélène et Solveig, et j'en suis très heureuse. Dès le début, Hélène m'a accueillie chaleureusement dans sa famille ainsi qu'auprès de ses amis. Le travail était très facile : aider à la maison et garder les enfants, qui étaient tous très sympathiques et adorables. J'ai reçu de bons conseils pour découvrir Rouen, et j'ai même eu la possibilité d'assister à des concerts à l'Opéra et à la Chapelle Corneille, ce dont je suis très reconnaissante. Dommage que le temps soit passé si vite ! Je retournerais tout de suite à Rouen et chez Hélène et Solveig. Je recommande vivement cette famille à tous les futurs Workawayers qui souhaitent découvrir la région dans une ambiance chaleureuse et bienveillante.

It was a pleasure to have Diana come stay on Macleay Island. Diana cooked the best vegetarian meals and was a huge help in the garden. I highly recommend Diana to other hosts and would welcome her back anytime. All the best with your new job and time in Australia.

Kristin was here 10 days in june, and helped out with mucking, fencing, cleaning tack, training and caring for horses and more. She is vegan, and therefore cooking dinner was one of her tasks. Kristin is a really nice girl, eager to work, easy to communicate with, and just a pleasant person to have in our family these days. We highly recommend her as a workawayer!😊

Hey I am from Germany and I lived already a year in Norway. Because I wanted to improve my Norwegen, Everbody was talking all the time Norwegen with me, but I a slow and easy way so that I was learning in these 10 days so much! I have seen a lot of the cost of Norway but this place is amazing! Not just because of the nature around is so beautiful especially because of Hilde, Reidar and Hannah and all of their family. I felt so welcomed and for thes days it was a home for me here. My task has been the same as Zara's and I cut gras and helped cleaning some horse stuff :) also the cooking was one of my tasks. The amount of work was really good, I still had a lot of free time to go around and checking out the area. Also Hilde showed me a lot here, by car and horse, it was really nice. This was my first workaway experience so far but because it was soooo nice here, I might want to do a lot more. If I ever want to do another workaway I Norway I would always come back to these wonderful people and wonderful horses :)

Jonathan was an absolute pleasure to host 😇. He was incredibly adaptable and patient throughout and we’re so grateful for the way he embraced every part of our daily life, including the challenges that came with hosting our very first Workaway. He brought such a positive energy, a great sense of humour and we genuinely had a wonderful time with him. Anyone who gets the chance to meet Jonathan is truly blessed.

I spent a week with Ana and we worked together on some things in the vegetable garden and the orange-orchard. Ana is very friendly and patient. She helped me to rediscover some of my lost Spanish vocabulary. She introduced me to a lot of people in her surroundings and pointed me to some cultural events in Altea. I felt very welcome. The cultural-social center she has founded offers many interesting activities to some of these the workawayers are invited to attend. I wish Ana continued success in her endeavors.

We were blessed to have Tobias with us for a week. The days passed quickly and were full of an interesting variety of projects. Tobias is willing to help with heavier jobs and was happy to haul dirt by the wheel barrow full for the teacher and families that attend the local kindergarten. Tobias made the job extra super fun for everybody by hauling a pile of kids for rounds in the wheel barrow as well!! It was lovely to watch. Tobias also picked up the artistic spirit like an old pro. He designed clay roof tiles with drawings for the local children to paint, as well as drawing a few for himself to paint and leave with us for beautiful new house decorations. Tobias helped witha ceramics workshop in the public school 8th grade, and I greatly appreciated his extra set of hands during that activity. Thank you, Tobias, for the handful of times you shared a soccer game with the neighborhood boys, and for the many times you washed the dishes! Thank you for you kindness and openess, as well as for so generously sharing your awe for nature and views and insights into life and the how's of things. It was a pleasure for all of us to have you around for a while. The biys send their love and their greetings. Peace.

Aleksandra and Anatolii were truly exceptional volunteers and we feel very lucky to have had them here. Over four weeks they helped us build our bamboo structure. What stood out most was their initiative. They showed passion for cacao processing alongside or fixing things around the cabin on their own time, approaching every task with the same positive attitude and care. Beyond the work itself, they were a real joy to share daily life with. Kind, warm, open-minded people who brought great energy. We wish them all their best on their journey and recommend them wholeheartedly to any host looking for motivated, reliable, and truly lovely volunteers. Gracias por todo, Aleksandra y Anatolii! 🌿

I spent three wonderful weeks with Caroline and Antony, and it was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had. As this was my first Workaway, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but they made me feel welcome from the very beginning. It felt as if we had known each other for years, which made my stay even more special. Everything was so kind, relaxed, and enjoyable, and I felt at home throughout my stay. Thank you for your hospitality, your warmth, and all the great memories. I would do it again anytime and can highly recommend this experience to other Workawayers. Hopefully, we will see each other again next year!

We had one of the most amazing times of our 9 month trip volunteering here for 3 weeks. The work was structured but chill, meals were super yummy (best pancakes and scrambled eggs ever) and the setting halfway up a volcano in a treehouse made for incredible views. The best part though were the people. The other volunteers were awesome, the guests were generally friendly and easy going as the place attracts these types of people but most of all the manager Ana and co-owner Laura were incredible (wish we could have met Ellen too). We hadn't had a home away from home for nearly a year but this was the closest we got. The format of 3 days on and 3 days off worked perfectly cause it meant we weren't stuck in one place for 3 weeks and could still explore Nicaragua with all the new friends we made during each stay. Oh and the Friday rave parties were some of the best fun we'd had so far. Couldn't recommend enough!!!

We spent almost 10 days at Gabrielle's Rose Cottage place. We enjoyed the peacefullness of the surroundings , the cute sheeps, and the kindness of Gabrielle, an happy, energetic and independant woman. Weeding the bedplants and the terrace+ mulching, fixing and painting an old bench and repairing a little wood structure were the Jobs that we did. We had a Lot of time to rest or to enjoy a little walk. We also went together to a small permaculture meeting where we ate some delicious saucisses artisanales, from the "happy pigs" farm which is a Gabrielle's neighbour. We slept in a rustical little house next to hers, and had plenty of healthy food to well feed ourselves( including the freshly harvested raspberries and blackberries !) Thank You very much Gabrielle!!! Maybe a next time, who knows.

With such an encouraging profile I expected a different person to the one who arrived and showed me none of the qualities evoked by the profile. It was very unfortunate that Debra had had her FB account hacked to which she devoted a lot of her energy. However that is no excuse for not being at all proactive, not seeming to care about anything and #redacted# approach in all her tasks. When being asked to do something in a way that was not her way Debra took umbridge. In 15 yeras of hosting I can not remember someone that made as little effort to fit in to life here. #redacted# she does not care to listen. It was clear that Dedra is looking for a new life and she soon realised it was not here so soon lost all interest. Inspite of this I took here to the beach twice, out to a bar for an evening and to a Carnival for which she was grateful. Debra became the second person in many years not to write in my guest book, she could 'not be bothered'. That sums her up.

Nos encantó tener a Eli como voluntaria en nuestro hostal. Siempre fue amable, responsable y muy dispuesta a ayudar. Trabajó muy bien y fue de gran ayuda durante su estancia. Fue un placer convivir con ella y la recomendaríamos 100% a cualquier host. ¡Gracias por todo, Eli! 💛

Valantina is a fabulous workaway. Conscientious, caring and hard working. She is also great fun to chat to and has a super positive attitude. This makes it very easy to work with her. Along with 2 other volunteers , Valantina took care of the Sanctuary whilst I was away for 6 days and when I returned the animals were all happy relaxed and well cared for. If you have the chance to host Valantina, do. She is a lovely person

We were extremely fortunate to have Samuel as a Workawayer. He's a truly polite guy, always willing to help, In addition to helping us tidy up the garden and vegetable patch, he took excellent care of our dog Luna and cat Buddy. Even though my husband had a health issue during his stay that required a lot of work, Samuel was truly been helpful. We can only recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible guy. It would be our immense pleasure to host him again if his journey brings him back to Italy. A sincere and immense thank you, Samuel! You are truly special!

Dieter and Patricia are veny nice made me feel confortable as soon as I arrived ! We shared very pleasant experiences such as gardening, woodorking, dining or walking. I've spent a month with them and honesthly the time went so fast... I did various jobs here, I've looked after the chickens, the goats and Benny, removed quiet a bunch of weeds and help Dieter with woodworking. We spend time to discuss about various things and that was great and very interesting moments. Dieter and Patricia are kind and were really present for me. We can see the valley from the garden and the view is so beautiful. I've spent a couple of hours walking in the forest, hiked in the mountains and just looking at the landscape and drinking my coffee. The bedroom is confortable, the bathroom is new and the kitchen equiped and I could use their washing machine. I also had the opportunity to visit Basel, the journey is pretty convenient thanks to public transports and Dieter brought me with him to spend a day in Freiburg. Dieter and Patricia were out during several days in a row so I've been alone during this time but all was ok ! They just asked me what I needed to cook and brought it back to me, their products are also very good (jam for example... ;) That was my very first experience as a workawayer and it was great, I can only recommand you to meet Dieter and Patricia and to spend some weeks in Kühlenbronn !

It was so good to have Lauren around..she is a beautiful person! Nice, clever, picking up all tasks and getting along very well with everybody here. Hope to see her again!

Lisa's lovely house in Hazelbrook is cosy and full of art and books and interesting things, and, along with Aloy the dog, she is a welcoming and generous host. The workload here is light; I did some land clearing and tree pruning, a bit of housework, and kept Aloy company when Lisa was at work. Lisa is a great cook and made some delicious dinners! An excellent place from which to spend a little while exploring the Blue Mountains, with plenty of walks a short train journey away.
