Gianna e Dan sono stati ospiti eccezionali, faccio fatica a non commuovermi. Sono entrati a far parte della famiglia in modo propositivi, attivo. gentili, attenti educati e simpatici...non vedo l'ora di ospitarli ancora. a presto amici miei

We were so fortunate to have Andi (Andrea) with her warm, thoughtful presence here for over a month. Her background, including in mathematics, environmental stewardship and education, constantly informs her ongoing engagement with the land and her perspectives on how to bring positive change to the world. It was a privilege to host someone as kind, thoughtful and skilled as her. She has exceptional plant and ecological knowledge and solid experience with tools, which meant she contributed hugely in many areas here, from forestry to building restoration/renovation, and also in the kitchen -- some great dishes! Although conditions didn't allow for broadcast burning during her stay, she had a chance to do some pile-burns and explore principles of Rx fire, and was great with that -- safe, reliable and quick to learn. Andi is excellent with interpersonal communication, and was very much liked by everyone. We highly recommend her for any host, and would welcome her back any time. Thanks so much, Andi, and all the best!

I spend 3 weeks with Mahati, Janne and their 2 kids, and it was a beautiful experience. You can learn so many things with them, you can just ask ! Permaculture, cooking, building, if you love to work with your hand (or want to learn), there is a lot to do here. It's also a big break in the nature, with many places in the forest to go. If you are looking for deconnexion, it's here ;) But you have also many occasions to go in the villages around. It was a pleasure, thank you for those beautiful 3 weeks ;)

Elena is an interesting, energetic and cheerful young woman who engaged in some great conversations with us and was always willing to get things done, regardless of how chaotic the task list happened to be. I highly recommend her as a workaway and would welcome her back anytime.

Serena and Davide are wonderful workawayers. They were very willing and very hard workin. Davide is strong and quick and prioritizes speed, If you need heavy labor done quickly Davide's your man. Serena is diligent, cheerful and careful. They are a lovely couple, we really enjoyed their company and would recommend them to other hosts! Please come back one day,l! Always happy to help thanks.

Thank you for the nice workaway experience we had during the two weeks at your home! You live in such a lovely area with the beautiful, clear river next to the house. Staying in the apartement next to your house felt like being on holiday ☀️ For us, it was the first time to do some gardening, but we liked it a lot. We hope you will get a lot of fruits & vegetables this year (and less weeds 😉). We also enjoyed cooking some (german) dishes for you and having dinner together! Thank you for the interesting conversations through which we learned more about Canada - especially about the beautiful peninsula Gaspésie. As we could make our own schedule, we also were able to visit some other beautiful places like the famous Bonaventure Island. ☺️ PS: We won’t forget your sourdough bread, it was so good (like the brownies, the carrot cake and the lobster roll)! All the best to you!

I stayed for two months at the Art Institute and felt welcome from the very first message I received. During my time there I helped Bernardo with some of the many things that could be done in and around the garden and what really stood out for me was his effort to give me tasks that matched the interests I had shared on my profile. He also showed great flexibility towards the timing of the work and was always ready to share his knowledge about sustainable practices. Bernardo invited me on trips with his family and to events, and the whole team treated me with pastries for my birthday. It was the perfect spot for me to enjoy being in nature (the birdsong and the blooming flowers in the garden in spring were amazing) and simultaneously a few feet away from music events, art shops, gelaterias and weekly board game nights. I got to learn Italian (they had set up lessons for me with one of the school's Italian teachers) and felt inspired by the many creative projects and classes happening at the art school. My personal highlight was the opportunity to try out mosaic and spend many hours, days, weeks puzzling with the ceramics to make a mosaic cover for the pizza oven.

Nous avons accueilli Elena pendant 12 jours et nous avons été ravis de la rencontrer. Elle s'est très bien occupée des enfants, s'est adaptée très vite à la maison. Elena est très agréable et vraiment très mature pour une jeune fille de 18 ans. Nous la recommandons sans hésiter

Hello We realy had a big pleasure to have Kim in the farm. She is very hardworking, and takes initiatives to help in the farm. She loves the animals and our kitten were very lucky. I hope that Kim will visit us again I definitly recommand Kim as a volunteer

What an adventure !! I was part of this group for 3 months and I already want to go back. The work can be demanding but picking plastic is such an amazing workout in nature ! I only met respectful, kind and funny people, the atmosphere is really nice. This project motivated me to sail more and opened my eyes that a new future, more responsible and close to nature, is possible. I fully recommend to volunteer with them!

I spent almost 2 weeks in Romans sur Isère and it was a great expetience. You have your owned bedroom a shared bathroom and the food served is very good. It is a discret family very welcoming. The location is perfect to visit romans and its surreounding. Romans is a pretty little town with some nice ballade to do in the surounding. It is a wellknnown area for wine as well. The work dine was mainly diy: adjusting and cutting shelved, wallpaper, sanding staircase. All manageable but time consumming! I would recommend this host!

Thank you so much, was a big help to have you here. Yannik is very easy going and a very good musician. He helped me out with different projects in the garden and in the forest, and cooked some great lentil dal. Wish you all the best on your journey.

Emma was an exellent helper in our service team for nearly six weeks. She prepered our place with us before the opening and was on our side as the guests came. She learned quickly and if times changed, for example on sundays with many taverna guests, she came to help her collegues without any problem and always friendly. We thank her a lot for her work and kindness and wish her all the best!

Ludovic a passé 2 semaines dans notre famille. Il a restauré tout le couloir d'entrée de notre maison, poncé parfaitement une partie de l'escalier d'entrée et a agrandi une bibliothèque en pin massif dans le salon. C'est un travailleur particulièrement minutieux qui aime apporter le plus grand soin à ce qu'il fait. Il est très respectueux des règles de la maison et est de très agréable compagnie, avec de très intéressantes conversations. J'espère qu’il trouvera rapidement le travail qu'il cherche, et je le recommande à tous les hôtes.

Muchas gracias para todos! I had a really nice time at the hostel. The works was simple but fun, checking people in, showing them around, tidying up and restocking the bathrooms. Mostly in the evenings, no weekends. I got to meet a lot of good people and had more then enough free time to explore the area. The owners were very kind, good communicators and always availeble for questions or advise. I got to stay in a private room and had a separate private bathroom, plus a lovely buffet breakfast. Their homemade bread is amazing! All of this made me feel very lucky. Very aptly named hostel ;) I would 100% recommend staying here, as either as workawayer or a guest.

I just completed a two weeks stay at Sekiwa’s and his family’s place and it was a great experience. The entire family is very kind and hospitable and I encountered no problems while I was there. Sekiwa made it clear from the beginning that more than anything it is a cultural exchange and I had a lot of freedom during my stay. I was there after harvesting season and the workload would some days be pretty light and some days it would be a bit harder cutting wood in the sun and making/putting up fences. I found it to be a good mix, and Sekiwa is always very good at offering the volunteer to take a rest, and he was flexible with the free time. During my spare time his son would take me to some of his soccer matches and to some of the nearby hilltops where there are amazing views of the highlands, and one of the days off I went to the Great Zimbabwe ruins. The room/hut I stayed in was nice and spacious with a comfortable bed, and there was always enough of the delicious traditional meals that Sekiwa’s daughter Fortunate would make at the fireplace. The family conveniently have a water fosset at the compound with clean drinking water (which is not common in the area/village), and they also have enough electricity from their solar panels for you to charge devices or whatever. All in all, this is great opportunity to get to know the way of rural life in Zimbabwe, and I would highly recommend it to other travelers. Thank you to the entire family! Villads PS: Be prepared that the ride from Masvingo to the farm can be quite strenuous. You have to take a local taxi (Sekiwa helped to arrange it) which is essentially a minivan turned into a bus and it gets really cramped. We were an impressive 21 people when I had to get to the farm and the ride took around five hours on really bumpy roads. It is not very comfortable but it is definitely a fun experience and it is all worth it, but it is nice to be prepared. There is also another route that takes around 3 hours.

We had great moments together, laughting and discussing. Chow have done great work in the garden and also in the house. She is easy and helpful.

Ale is a wonderful person - kind, generous, and fun, who makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive! And he will definitely makes sure you're well-fed - I never felt hungry (which rarely happens!!). The food was not just delicious but also very healthy! His place is fantastic—surrounded by beautiful nature and close to many Pueblos Mágicos, so there’s always something interesting to do (hiking, climbing, visit this little villages,..). He’s constantly improving his property, (it is like a small private forest) and you can really feel the effort, care, and love he puts into it. The work was physical a lot of times, but I enjoyed every moment of it. I especially loved working working with the machete and taking care of the chickens and dogs ⚔️🐔 especially when they gave eggs haha His two dogs are exceptionally well-trained, full of energy, and great company. I especially loved Hifa (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly! 🤔😅) because she matched my energy level perfectly 🤣 they are both special characters. Will miss them a lot! Ale was also super kind to take me on several climbing trips, which were some of the highlights of my time in Mexico! Really, really thank you again for that!! He also helped me with many other things during my stay So I would definitely/100%! recommend coming here! You’ll learn a lot, meet wonderful people, and leave with amazing memories. Thank you again for everything—the laughs, conversations, great food, shared knowledge and experiences, climbing trips, and so much more. I hope to see you again soon! Wishing you all the best! 🦥

With Rainer you ll have lots of interesting subjects to talk about and for me it was superineresting to learn about his life as an artist and writer. He is living in a very special place where you ll meet kind and special people as neighbors. I especially enjoyed the music/ jam sessions with him and other people from the village. Also, there are many beautiful and adventurous hikes right next to his door and climbers will love the region even more. Thanks to Rainer and his adorable two cats I had a very memorable week in El Llano.
