Il y a des lieux que vous laissez et il y a des lieux qui vous laissent.Comme un oiseau devant quitter son nid car il est prêt à s'envoler. Au delà de l'espace et du temps, je suis venue me rencontrer. La vie et le souffle étaient là au rendez-vous de ce présent ( pierres, végétaux, animaux,humains et ce qui ne se voit pas). Ne rien marchander ...pour devenir ce que l'on est vraiment. Merci à VOUS, TOI🙏. Je m'envole.

We spent a wonderful week and a half with Heather and Phil at their lovely, tranquil home at Brandy Creek (near Airlie Beach). Heather is a botanical queen - she taught us lots of new gardening techniques and tricks. Her orchid collection is fantastic! Heather is also a great chef and we really enjoyed all her hearty homemade meals! Phil is a DIY wizard - we put together a shed during our time there from fully recycled materials. Special shout of to Phil for even DIY-ing us a new part for our rooftop tent which had fallen off during our travels! Heather and Phil took us to bowls one day and this was great fun - we need a bit more practice though! Phil also took us on a bike ride through the national park beside their home. In the rest of our spare time we loved making jigsaws in the house, doing some watercolour paintings, exploring the area and spending time with the chickens and ducks! Thanks again to Heather and Phil for their wonderful hospitality and we hope that the new ice cream machine has a long and happy life! 💛

Sophie and Marta are a wonderful dynamic duo! At just 19 years of age, they are incredibly mature, self-reliant and responsible. They helped me transform so many rooms in our home, including the games room, laundry, living room, bathrooms and sunroom — cleaning, moving furniture and redecorating with such care and enthusiasm. They gave our coffee machine a good service, gave the fridge a makeover, and enjoyed using the kitchen, which hummed with their creative cooking and baking. It has been an absolute pleasure hosting Sophie and Marta. Not only were they helpful and peaceful to have in our home, but we also shared hours and hours of Skip-Bo, along with some Rummikub and Skyjo. We loved hosting Sophie & Marta, and we highly recommend them!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah was a wonderful volunteer, and we are very grateful for the time she spent with our family on the ranch. Even though her stay was short, she was a huge help in so many ways. She helped me a lot with the children, around the house, and even with my sourdough bread doughs. We also enjoyed doing yoga and working out together, which made her stay even more special. Sarah is kind, easygoing, respectful, and a pleasure to have around. We shared many fun moments together and truly enjoyed her company. Thank you, Sarah, for all your help and positive energy. We wish you many amazing adventures on your journey and hope that everything goes wonderfully for you. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day! Lots of love and best wishes from our family.

I spent over 6 weeks with Jacob and Francisca and would highly recommend this Workaway. They are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming hosts with a clear vision for their land and care for their community. Their commitment to organic and sustainable practices is reflected in everything they do, and every task became an opportunity to learn something new. The work was varied, interesting, and always well explained. During my stay I harvested potatoes and tomatoes, planted garlic, shallots, alfalfa, and oats, prepared and cleaned garden beds, collected leaves, seaweed, wool, and manure to build soil fertility, mixed bokashi compost, repaired fences, chopped wood, cared for sheep, cleaned the sheep pen, transplanted native trees, helped build a new chicken coop, and worked in the greenhouse. I especially appreciated being able to see many projects through from start to finish. In addition to the work, what made the experience special was the peaceful environment, shared meals, conversations, and strong sense of community. Working alongside Jacob each day led to many memorable conversations between tasks. After work meals shared with Jacob and Francisca were always so pleasant, delicious home cooked food and fun conversation. I was also fortunate to take part in a few mingas with the neighbors, helping with potato harvests and other tasks, followed by shared meals, or asados, and plenty of chicha. Francisca’s family came to stay one weekend and they were equally welcoming and made me feel included despite my basic Spanish. The setting itself is beautiful: a peaceful corner of Lemuy with beaches, rolling hills, forest, and incredible sunsets. The accommodation was exceptionally comfortable—a beautiful home with a wood stove, kitchen, and everything I needed. Jacob and Francisca were always thoughtful hosts and made me feel at home throughout my stay. If you’re looking for meaningful work, a slower rhythm of life, good company, and an authentic experience of Chiloé, I highly recommend staying with Jacob and Francisca. I leave with a great deal of gratitude, many new skills, and fond memories of my time on the island and inspiration for the future.

Hedda was a pleasure to host. She was upbeat, helpful, respectful and kind. She was excellent with my small children, we learned to trust her quickly. She was also fit and good at manual labor. Her english is amazingly good and she was easy to communicate with. We wished she could stay longer!

My stay at Simon’s home was a truly great and very enriching experience. I spent one week there and from the very beginning I felt very welcomed and comfortable. It is a peaceful place, surrounded by nature, ideal for disconnecting and enjoying a few very pleasant days. Simon is a very kind, open, positive, happy and generous person who genuinely cares about making sure his guests feel good and at home. He was always attentive, offering help with transportation, involving me in his daily life, and sharing very interesting moments. I really enjoyed the conversations we had, as well as cooking together and preparing delicious meals. Simon is also a very good cook and makes absolutely delicious dinners. It was also very interesting to discover the local nocturnal wildlife with him, a very fascinating experience. During my stay I also spent time with his animals: I walked his dog Alan, who is very affectionate and cheerful, and I looked after the cat Kitty. I also helped with household tasks such as tidying up and taking care of the house, as well as doing some garden work like weeding. It was very nice to feel useful while also feeling accompanied and comfortable. Overall, it was a very complete week in a calm, welcoming and very positive environment. I am very grateful to Simon for this opportunity and his hospitality. Without a doubt, he is a kind, respectful, and very generous host. I highly recommend this experience 100%. It is an ideal place both to learn and to enjoy a relaxed and pleasant stay. I hope we meet again in the future, and if you ever come to Catalonia, I would be delighted to host you at my home.

Lots of happiness, understanding, kindness, and family unity.

We've stayed for 8 days at this wonderful place and miss it so much. We both fell in love with the atmosphere, the beautiful nature, Carhuaz, Valentina and Dionny herself! The work in the corn field is very easy and it was fun to learn about the process of growing, fertilizing and harvesting corn. It doesnt take long and after a delicious lunch from Dionny you are free to explore the region and eat the fantastic ice cream in Carhuaz. Alan has the best recomandations for hikes and everything else about what to do in the area. Dionny is the cutest and told us a lot about her life, the peruvian culture and even taught us some Quechua. We went to two lagunas, did horseback riding, spend a day in the sauna and went to Mateo (all in 8 days!). There were always a lot of other volunteers staying at Dionnys place, so you will always have someone to explore Carhuaz with or do one of the beautiful hikes. We are definitely coming back if we have the chance!! Muchas Gracias por todo Eltje and Samuel

Clelia is an absolute delight. We loved having her around, she is hard-working, no nonsense, sensible and practical. She loves animals and has brilliant animal husbandry skills. She is welcome back her anytime. If she applies to come to you, say yes IMMEDIATELY, you won’t regret it!

Junko & Franck are an adorable and welcoming couple, you will have a good time in their garden/forest, close to nature, the room is very good and the kitchen makes you want to cook, near Midland, accessible by bus (every hour) but privileged the car. Quiet and peaceful place, you will garden and maintain the pool and spas as well as the common areas. If you come in winter the wood will occupy you but the fire in the evening and in the morning is super pleasant. Thanks to Junko for everything, I recommend you to make a detour here 🌳

Staying with Go, Manami and their children was a one of a kind experience. I spent two weeks there and had a wonderful time. They welcomed me with such an open and warm-hearted attitude that I immediately felt at home. The children were also incredibly funny and friendly. We cooked together, went on small trips, and I even had the opportunity to learn calligraphy. All in all, it was a fantastic experience that I would not want to have missed.

I spent just a short 11 days at Monica's guesthouse but I loved every second of it!! I got the opportunity to go there thanks to another volunteer cancelling their stay. I'm just so so grateful for this opportunity! Monica is such a wonderful person, she was so welcoming, told me about so many interesting aspects of Korean culture! And her 2 kids are such nice kids I really enjoyed my time spent with them. Also with the other 2 kids who joined class on Friday. Danyang is a beautiful place with many things to offer. I just couldn't get enough of it, the beautiful sights, cafés, mountains. I'm a ballet teacher by profession, and thanks to Monica I got to join the ballet school a few times, as she attends classes there. I even had the opportunity to teach ballet in English for the kids there! Teaching to korean kids and taking part in a korean ballet class, talking with the teacher, everything was such a unique experience I'll carry with me forever. I'm studying Korean actively so I spent a lot of time in the local library, and Monica even made it possible for me to access the online library! Also the local people are all so kind and welcoming. I left Danyang 2 days ago, but am already missing it. I really hope I can visit again sometime in the future! Thank you so much for this amazing experience!

Estuve dos semanas en el Hostal y fui progundamente feliz. Me trataron con mucho cariño y amabilidad. El trabajo en recepción es muy sencillo y rápido. Un abrazo a Marcia, Juanita, Elo, Liz y Manolo!

I spent a wonderful month with Jess, and she is one of the best people I have ever met. She is an incredible mother, extremely professional in her work, and the absolute best cook! I looked forward to every meal she made, so healthy and incredibly delicious!!! She also teaches yoga and invited me to join her classes. From day one, she treated me like part of the family, inviting me to join her friends' activities and taking me kayaking. I never felt like just a temporary guest. I truly felt at home! Most of my work around gardening. We did everything from tilling the soil to getting the beds ready for planting. Jess and I went to the nursery together to pick out plants, and we planted so many different varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, various lettuces, and other veggies. We also bought lots of beautiful flowers to decorate the deck, along with some herbs and succulents. I really look forward to seeing all the vegetables mature, and I truly hope I'll have the chance to go back and see the harvest! Speaking of the deck, it quickly became my absolute favorite place. It has comfy lounge chairs, and I spent so much of my free time there. I loved just sitting on the deck, doing absolutely nothing, looking out at the trees and just listening to the sounds of nature. Her place has the most amazing ecosystem. I met so many wild "neighbors," like a mother owl who had just hatched her three babies, and newborn deer that I got to watch grow up and run wild across the grass. It is such a beautiful, lively environment. Of course, I have to mention the resident fur-babies, Michael and Dash. They are the sweetest boys and such good brothers to each other. When Jess was away, I did some house and pet sitting for them, and we had the best time playing together. After spending so much time with them, we became so close that I could understand what they were saying , haha! They are so much fun, and it was so hard to say goodbye to them. I am going to miss Jess and the boys so much, and I will definitely be coming back to visit in the future!

Pasé tres semanas y fue una experiencia muy especial. Disfruté mucho las excursiones con César. Fueron muy divertidas y aprendí muchísimo sobre las Galápagos, la naturaleza y la vida en la isla. El trabajo era variado y flexible. Ayudé con la cosecha de frutas, la preparación de comidas y jugos, y otras tareas. Me gustó mucho la libertad que teníamos para participar en diferentes actividades. También había bastante tiempo libre para disfrutar de la isla. Las mañanas o las tardes se podían aprovechar para explorar y era muy fácil ir a la ciudad en autobús. Quiero agradecer la cálida bienvenida y la amabilidad de todos. Me sentí muy cómodo desde el primer día. Espero volver algún día. Para mí, es uno de los mejores lugares para vivir una experiencia auténtica en las Islas Galápagos.

Kathi stayed only about a week with us but it was a wonderful time together! She was a quick learner in painting and helped with the interior painting of the house as well as cooking and delicious baking. We loved our social evenings of cooking and eating together and playing various card games! We wish you all the best Kathi and you’re always very welcome to visit 🤗

Ayesha and Jordan are a lovely friendly couple always interested in helping. It was wonderful to have them around. Everything was in order and clean when they left my house. It was 1 week,when they brought a good energy in my house. They are always welcome.

Silvia spent two weeks with us in June, and she was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in right when I needed to catch up on computer work and applications, and as Ethan was wrapping up his school year. She was incredibly helpful with cooking and cleaning, always diligently asking how she could contribute around the house. Beyond being a hard worker, she is so warm and friendly. Ethan had a blast challenging her to sports and teasing her with jokes, and she was even kind enough to let me practice a reflexology session on her! Silvia has a fantastic energy, and we highly recommend her to any host family. Thank you for everything, Silvia!
