I had a wonderful time at Liv's beautiful home. I highly recommend doing a workaway with her if you get the chance. It was above and beyond my expectations. I helped with some gardening, cleaning windows and sugar soaping some walls to help prepare for painting. I only stayed with Liv for 1 week, but would have loved to have stayed for longer. She cooked us delicious, nutritious meals for dinner, and she took me to the nearby National Park to show me around. I had been in need of some calming, grounded time, and I found exactly what I needed at Liv's place. I recently started learning to weave baskets, and it was a beautiful space to work on my weaving projects and get some advice from Liv. I was amazed by how many different types of birds frequented her garden. Having a bath with water heated by the wood stove was a highlight for me! I had one of the most relaxing baths of my life. Thanks so much Liv, I am very grateful for you hospitality <3

Meredith is an amazing young woman. Her desire to learn and help was out of this world. She is very respectful of house rules and always wanting to carry out tasks as best as possible. Her full of life attitude means she was willing to take on any task with a smile and can also hold a wonderful conversation on just about any topic. It was an absolute pleasure having Meredith stay and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a workawayer. Thank you Meredith 🌺

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had a wonderful stay with Anna in Lund! She was very kind and welcoming from the start, and she gave me lots of great recommendations for places to visit and things to see around the area. Thanks to her suggestions, I was able to explore and really enjoy Lund. Although Anna was away for much of my stay, communication was easy, and I helped out by doing some tidying and organizing around the house. She was very trusting and generous, and she even let me use her spare bike, which made it easy and enjoyable to get around town. Lund ended up being one of my favorite places to visit, and I'm very grateful to Anna for helping make my experience there so special. Thank you for your kindness, hospitality, and for sharing your home with me. I would happily recommend Anna as a Workaway host to future travelers!

This has been my first Workaway and it has been a truly amazing experience. I felt part of Markus and Helga’s family from the first second, feeling welcomed by their warmth, the insane location and truly the best food I have ever had. I would recommend this place to everyone looking for an opportunity to connect with amazing people, learn about sauna, gardening, constructing and taking care of the ocean and beach. The work mostly consisted of outdoor gardening and everything that comes with it, but we literally did whatever was needed. Work - Free Time Balance was wonderful and I felt that my work was both appreciated and my free time well respected. I stayed in a small hut for myself with a view on the fjord, which was wonderful and exceeded my expectations by far! I truly hope I get to come back one day, as this felt like a home from the beginning.

Tuvimos el placer de alojarnos con la familia de Miguel durante una semana. Nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos y nos ofrecieron comida deliciosa. Nuestra habitación era muy cómoda y tuvimos acceso a todo lo que necesitábamos durante nuestra estancia. El trabajo era muy variado e incluía actividades como pastorear ovejas, alimentar al ganado, recoger comida para los cuys y ayudar con el riego de los campos. En tan solo una semana, ambos sentimos que habíamos aprendido muchísimo, incluso como se baile a música tradicional! Muchas gracias a Miguel, Mamá Elena y Taita Simon por su hospitalidad!

Natalia is a truly wonderful and charming person with a deeply artistic soul! It was an absolute privilege to stay in her beautiful, historic house. I am incredibly grateful that she coolly accepted my last-minute message and welcomed me without hesitation. Even though my main task was cleaning, I was genuinely happy to contribute to maintaining and shaping this magnificent home. Natalia was incredibly attentive and always made sure I felt comfortable throughout my stay, allowing me to relax and feel completely at home. Thanks to her recommendation, I was able to experience the amazing ship festival in Ostend (Oostende Voor Anker) which was unforgettable. I had such a fantastic time from beginning to end. Thank you so much for everything, Natalia🥰
