Jeanne was a fantastic member of our team. Jeanne was always keeping busy, always looking to help with the next task and was great fun for the group. We would love if Jeanne could have stayed longer!

I had such a wonderful time with Ana and Sean on this magical island – they are both incredibly warm and welcoming people, and I really enjoyed all the great conversations we shared! Sean always made sure I had one of his amazing coffees (best coffee maker ever 😉), and Ana is a fantastic cook who prepared the most delicious and healthy meals for us. The island is absolutely beautiful and has a very special sense of community. It's a truly unique place with only around 350 houses surrounded by tropical forest. Everyone on the island supports one another and all neighbors are really good friends. We celebrated a houseboat party and had a wonderful open-air movie night on the beach together while cockatoos and lories were singing in the trees. Ana is really hardworking and takes great care of her beautiful property. I learned a lot about maintaining a tropical garden, including replanting, weeding, and general upkeep. I also helped with tasks like pressure washing, cleaning the house, and keeping everything organized. Every day felt really productive as we managed to get a lot done, and Ana was very flexible with working hours. I could go for a swim at the beach during breaks, and we kept track of my hours which allowed me to take an extra day off when I had worked more in advance. I also had the chance to explore the stunning national park with breathtaking views over the island, see Aboriginal engravings, visit different beaches, and discover Sydney. Ana and Sean were always happy to give me a ride to the mainland, where there are excellent bus connections to get around easily. Overall, I had a wonderful time on this gorgeous little island with such kind and lovely people. Thank you so much! 🥰☀️🏝️

Margaret and Kenneth are extremely hard working, and did way more than the required hours. They are also well able to work independently, and we were able to get things done, like fixing a canoe, that had been on the long finger for a long time. You will never be short of conversation, and there were no awkward silences.

Dear Juho and Shoto, Thank you for being such a wonderful host family and having me with you for a very little more than one month. Segoi! Thanks to you and our exchange with your friends and pioneers and volunteers I got an idea about what rural life in a Japanese culture is about. With this community and Preeti you make the difference and attract people back to the essence of life. I am very curious about the development of the outdoor kitchen and the Pizza oven and the extended version of your vegetable garden. Renraku o torisri mashou, keep in touch. I am very grateful for having been your volunteer. Our evenings with the noodles sliding down and the festival and our Moshi preparation are unforgettable memories. Thank you and see you again I hope.

Shota and Yuho were such kind hosts! Thank you for such an amazing experience. I really enjoyed my time out in the mountains of Wakayama, participating in community living and working on projects together. I'm so glad to have been there for the anniversary celebration too. I would love to come visit again, and I highly recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful time volunteering with Robbie at the Academy and would highly recommend the experience to anyone looking for something genuinely meaningful. Robbie is a fantastic host. His communication is clear and warm, and his passion for what he is building here is infectious. He is incredibly generous - with his time, with access to the tennis court, and with the meals that are prepared for the volunteers. He was appreciative of everything we contributed and made us feel genuinely valued though out our stay. James spent his time teaching the children at the English Language club which was a joy. The kids are engaged, enthusiastic, and a delight to work with. I (Chrissy) focused on the operational side of things, working through processes and systems to help Robbie run his growing operation more smoothly. Both experiences felt purposeful and worthwhile. Beyond the work itself, the people made this placement truly special. We met wonderful locals, expats, and fellow volunteers - the kind of connections that stay with you well after you leave. Phu Quoc is a beautiful island and Robbie's set up is at the heart of a genuinely exciting community project. If you get the chance to volunteer here, take it. Chrissy & James.

James James assisted me with so much—coaching, teaching, cooking, cleaning, and more. But he's far greater than that: he brings everyone together and has a unique ability to make you and everyone around him feel truly seen and valued. Chrissy Chrissy has an amazing talent for breaking down complex needs into easy-to-follow processes. As I just started this organization with coaching, teaching, a cafe, and accommodation, she got me and my staff on track to build something great. Her leadership training and operations expertise are second to none. She's also authored an autobiographical life poem book that's raw and honest—ask her to bring you a copy; you won't regret it. I can't thank you both enough—I'd welcome you back anytime!

I stayed with Pavel and his family for a few days and had a very good experience. During my stay I helped with some simple tasks at home and spent time with Tima, accompanying him in some activities. Pavel was always respectful and we had several interesting conversations about different topics during my stay. I'll miss those talks btw, he's very intelligent and has a good sense of humour. With Oksana there was a bit of a language barrier, but we still found ways to communicate and shared many laughs. She was very kind too. The kids were polite, funny, curious, and respectful. I spent more time with Tima, hanging out and joining some of his daily activities. I'll miss them. And with Aleksandar and the rest of the guys in the space I felt very comfy, they were respectful, friendly and they helped make my stay more easier. I also had the opportunity to give them a small presentation about Mexico and cooked them a mexican breakfast. But without doubts, the cultural exchange was for both sides during the daily life. Thank you for these past few days. I’ll treasure them as a wonderful memory! Spasibo!

It was great to have Eva with us. she's such a charismatic person, really nice to get along and with the best willingness to help out in anything needed. Wishing her the best on her next journeys!

Mark and Mint made me feel at home at a time when I truly needed it. They are such kind, positive, and genuinely lovely people. I stayed with them for three weeks, helping out with simple hostel tasks like cleaning and doing check ins during the weekdays, and teaching English to kids on the weekends. The workload was very manageable, and I had plenty of free time to explore the city and enjoy my stay. What I really appreciated was how flexible and people-focused everything felt. It never felt like just work, but more like being part of a small, welcoming community. A moment that will stay with me for a long time was celebrating Norouz, the Persian New Year, together on the rooftop. They went out of their way to make it special, and sharing that with them, their friends, and the hostel guests meant more to me than I can fully express. I am truly grateful for this experience and for the opportunity they gave me. I hope to meet them again soon.

I loved my time at Mickey’s, it’s a beautiful and very comfortable place to live for a bit. The work was fun and diverse and afterwards I had the whole day for myself, lots of free time which I filled with hanging out by the river, reading or going for walks. Mickey is also very helpful in arranging other activities that you might want to do, we went surfing for example. Mickey takes good care of his volunteers the place was nice and clean and the food was really good and nutritious. Pura vida

Samuele is truly a beautiful soul — someone you feel lucky to meet and would gladly welcome into any home. From the very beginning, he proved to be calm, proactive, and extremely reliable. Despite his young age, he shows great maturity, strong practical and construction skills, and excellent organizational ability. After just a few days together, I felt completely at ease leaving my home in his care while I traveled with my family — and he handled everything perfectly, together with the other workawayers, creating a great atmosphere. He is easy and pleasant to be around, respectful of personal space, yet happy to share meaningful and fun moments. We spent time together both before I left and after I returned, also with my father and family, enjoying dinners, celebrations, and outings. What stood out even more was his natural connection with animals — they all loved him, especially the goat. This says a lot about his kind, patient nature, and I believe he is equally great with people, including children. I also helped him a bit with organizing his trip, which I was truly happy to do — he is absolutely someone worth having in your home. Meeting him was a real pleasure. He brings a beautiful energy, is 100% trustworthy, and I would recommend him without hesitation — as if he were my own son.

We stayed with Rosie during the last weeks of March at the tail end of our traveling. The stay was really lovely. Rosie was warm and inviting throughout our entire time. We found the work meditative, from sorting and chopping wood to help prepare for their Winter, to pulling small pines from the forest. Some of the days had heavy rainfall during which Rosie allowed us to work inside or gave us leave from our work early so as to not get soaked. Rosie has an abundance of knowledge to share and we really enjoyed sharing stories with her. We would recommend this work exchange to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the local culture and create meaningful relationships. Also she is a wonderful cook!

Niklas was a wonderful workawayer for us. We loved his company and help, 10/10. We know he will be a wonderful addition to any situation and will always give his best, as that’s his attitude. He is very skilled with technology but equally good with manual work. We were most impressed by his ability to play and interact with our 3 year old. He really put a lot of effort into the interaction and we appreciated this. Thanks Niklas! It was busy when he was with us, and unfortunately we didn’t get to do many things other than work through the shearing. Hopefully Niklas will visit us again when he studies in Australia.

Sammy and Mila came to help me just for three days with some garden projects. These jobs were rather dull and repetitive, however they applied themselves without complaint and did an excellent job. I enjoyed their company as they were both very bright and positive, with excellent english. I found them very reliable and punctual and generous with their contribution. I can recommend them as excellent helpers that are good company.

Chloe’s goal was to please. She was very friendly and an enthusiastic worker and team member, and a lot of fun. But don’t let her pick the movies! As well as performing all the normal daily tasks, Chloe also got stuck into additional projects, especially with the resurrection of my long-neglected veggie garden. We will be eating healthy vegetables well into the future thanks to her. Chloe’s biggest stand-out expertise was revealed in the kitchen. OMG. Her food creations, experiments and crazy big effort provided some of the best vegan banquets my home has ever had. Her final banquet was prepared just an hour before her departure after 2 months of volunteering. Such was her dedication to contribute. The other volunteers and I were so, so spoilt with her food. Chloe is welcome back into my home (and kitchen!) any time.

when I arrived in Tasmania Rob and Emma welcomed me with warmth and care ! Their farm is still growing but is an amazing project. I had a wonderful time with them and the other workaway. I'll remember them as my first workaway experience as one of the best ! thanks to them I'll carry on with this way of travelling!

Emma was with us for 2 weeks in March-April 2026. She was a nice and helpful girl, and she was great to have visiting. She was easy to have in the house and grateful and easy to cook for. She cooked breakfast and evening meal herself, and otherwise ate everything she was served. She enjoyed taking walks in the area and exploring the mountains and fjords. We wish the visit had been in a warmer season so we could have shown her more of the nature here. We thank her so much for the help and visit, and wish her all the best on her journey ahead.

I had a great stay. I was longing to emerge myself in nature and it was the best place. I've spend especially a lot of time with flor, and overall they really made my stay being 2 very special weeks. Flor and martín made a lot of things possible for me, also they introduced me to the neighbourhood and showing me the nature and the people they call their home. What a special place, I'm looking forward to coming back someday. Lots of love<3

I could not have dreamt for a better place for my first workaway experience. Samu and Florrie welcomed me with kindness and openess, we shared lots of quality time, amazing food and great moments together. The dogs are so lovely, sometimes a bit crazy, but overall they have so much love to give. The farm is very peaceful (when the dogs are calm), beautiful with a pool and beautiful nature surroundings. Tlayacapan is also a very pretty town you can walk to. Work wise, be aware that you'll take care of many chickens but you can learn fast (was my first time handling Chickies). I also helped with Bnb tasks and cleaning the garden / area. I also spent many hours painting 2 murals, that was a great opportunity for me to experience this! Gracias por todo ❤️
