We loved staying with Scott and Alysha on their beautiful property. Their daughters are bright, kind, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. They are the sweetest girls and very well-mannered (hi Mazie and Dezi!). Scott is hilarious, always has an entertaining story to tell, and has a strong work ethic. You will learn a lot from him and be impressed by all that he is building and nurturing. Alysha is a great listener, has many insightful things to teach, and will make you feel cared for and understood. They are great people and parents. Scott’s mom, Susanne, was staying nearby in another trailer, and she was so welcoming and generous with sharing her herb garden and inviting us for a bonfire one evening. We shared several nutritious meals with the family during our stay, including fresh eggs and chicken from their farm, veggies from the greenhouse, and honey from the beehives. We stayed in a private trailer and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of rain at night. We even had our own fire pit to enjoy. We were welcome to use the house for showers and laundry when needed. Our main tasks included building a fence, learning how to operate a skid steer, tidying up around the home and property, cooking, watching the girls, assisting with mushroom growing, and other fun learning experiences like tending to baby chicks. During our downtime, we explored the many walking trails on the land, rode an ATV, took in the fresh air, played with kittens, and were able to relax in nature. Downtown Radium is a stone’s throw away for some shopping or a visit to the hot springs. Invermere is about a 20-min drive for affordable groceries. We had just moved to Alberta without having many connections, and left Radium feeling like we made good friends. We recommend staying here, as you will learn a lot and build positive memories to reflect fondly on. We can't wait to come back and visit! Rachel and Ken

Once in a while, you'll visit a place that you know you're going to have to return to. Pikirangi is one of those places. Mark is a wonderful teacher and to say that his story is inspiring would be an understatement. It is truly special to eat, make fire and live in buildings built from the trees he planted. And the volunteer hub is a wonderful way to meet and connect with others. We even made dumplings together from scratch! Stay at Pikirangi if you can. The work will be physically challenging, but the experience will nourish your soul.

Dear Birgitta. Staying with you and your cats was an absolute pleasure! You were an excellent host and we had a good time helping with sowing, weeding, picking up seaweed and other things as well. We enjoyed the meals you made us with vegetables, berries and salads from your garden. We are gonna miss the green soup and white bean sauce! We also enjoyed exploring the area and the midnight sun. What a magnificent place you live! Thank you so much for letting us share some weeks with you in your home and garden. Best regards Alberte and Cecilia

Tom stayed with us for some wonderful weeks in may 2026. We had a blast with him! Full of energy and ready to help with whatever was needed he made our workhours not only very efficient but so fun! He was a great help with gardening, rebuilding a boatlanding, and fixing up the cabin. His sense of humor is really something else. And new amazing skills popped up from day to day while he showed what a great teamplayer he is. He even became the main actor in an amazing movie that the workawayers spontanously shot here at our place during some super fun evenings. But also serious talks, chessgames, excellent help in the kitchen and so much more. The campfires with Tom, enjoying music or making music with him and the other helpers was a real pleasure. Make sure you invite Tom to your place!

Thank you so mutch for your time with us. This was realy help for our proyect and we was in al points realy happy. Thanks for al and al.the best. 💐💚Nina and Samuel

I had the pleasure of hosting this wonderful couple, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are mature, responsible, and genuinely willing to help—everything a Workaway host could hope for. They approached every task with competence and care, whether working on artistic projects or small building jobs. Always smiling and positive, they brought a lovely energy to the house and were truly a pleasure to have around. I would warmly recommend them to any host looking for reliable, capable, and kind hearted spirits!

I had a very good time doing workaway with this lovely family! The property is beautiful, I was able to park my van at a peaceful and quiet spot with an amazing view. Many times I walked with my dog to the river to cool down after work. The work is very doable, fun and diverse. I helped with picking the olives (hard, but fun and rewarding work!), cooking, building a fence for the chickens (who'd always found their way out), gardening and building a rocket mass stove. Oh, and I also loved to pick all the basil on my last day, what a bummer that I wasn't there to make and try the fresh pesto with it...! I mostly worked a couple of hours in the morning and a little bit after lunch. But Laurens and Evelien are very relaxed about the working schedule. You can always talk about what schedule or jobs you prefer :) The place is very alive, with animals but also with people: other lovely volunteers, the (very cute) kids of the little school and friendly teachers and parents walking around.It's never boring! Almost everyday we had a great lunch together and sometimes also dinner. I was always free to take whatever I needed from the kitchen and the garden which is very nice :) Thanks guys🙏😊 we will meet again for sure!

Mihai was a very skilled and responsable guest with our family for about two months in 2025. He's polite, easy to communicate with and very handy around the house. We moved snow, built a brick wall, did renovation and garden work. We also completed the insulation of the basement in our 100 year old house with good help from Mihai. He's also very good with bikes and fixed up some of our bikes and trailers so they are as good as new. If you get a request it's highly adviced to accept!!

Ryan should eagerness to help and assist from the moment he arrived. He was flexible in his working chores and also timings. He has very relaxed and friendly Style but at the same time was capable of assisting with getting significant projects ticked off the list. He was also great fun with the children and they very much enjoyed his company. He will be welcome back here anytime he chooses and any host would be lucky to have him and his great sense of humour!

Athina amd Giorgos are very nice people, they have a very beautiful farm full of vines, olives, wild flowers and there is always something to do. They have a very beautiful horse. They are very open to listen and share which was interesting and very much welcomed.

This was my first workaway and experience in Canada ! I spoke with Phill and Hope on the phone before I left the UK and they helped me transition into Canadian life. Upon arriving on the island the first week I was racking leaves that had fallen in the winter months and canoeing on lake joseph . Getting very knowledgeable with the local Home Hardware store as I joined Phil on the almost daily trips of the island. My second week was very different, two other workaway people joined giving me people to talk to. Only then did I get a bit more of the Canadian lumberjack experience, when not scrapping paint. Loon island is beautiful reminding me a lot of home exploring every crook and crevices, when not making friends with the local chipmunks. Mostly importantly they were amazingly accommodating for my dietary requirements, the food was lovely :)

I spent one week at Francisco’s place and really enjoyed my time there ☀️☺️ Francisco is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Communication was always easy, and even though he lives in Porto, he was always available when needed. The place itself is quite rustic, but that’s also part of its charm ✨ It has a lot of potential and is surrounded by nature, making it a peaceful place to stay. The large garden is beautiful, and I enjoyed the calm atmosphere. At the same time, Porto is only about 30 minutes away, so it’s easy to combine countryside life with visits to the city 🌻 One thing to be aware of is that there is currently no Wi-Fi in the house. For me, this wasn’t a major issue during my short stay. For longer stays, however, it could be something to consider, although it may be improved in the future. Thank you, Francisco, for the experience and your hospitality. I had a great week and would happily recommend this Workaway to anyone who enjoys nature, a simple lifestyle, and a peaceful environment close to Porto 🤗

Joella has an incredible grounding energy, which was such a gift while helping care for our son. She encouraged him when he doubted his abilities and helped calm him when he was angry or riding an emotional rollercoaster. Her patience, kindness, and natural way with children made a real difference. She also brought a beautiful rhythm into our home through her singing and guitar playing, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. Joella is adventurous, open-minded, and always up for new experiences. She is very polite, proactive, and always willing to help without hesitation. We truly enjoyed having her with us and would love for her to come back. Our door will always be open to her whenever she needs us.

Aine and I got along super well! she is a kind and caring woman. The work was domestic and fairly simple. We kept to a daily schedule and the work was 3.5 hours each day (as I was there one week) - but she was also flexible if I wanted to do more on certain days. Or even come and go to different cities. Aine communicates effectively and directly which I greatly appreciated. The work awayer being flexible/patient and attentive to her need for structure would also be a plus to the relationship. If you enjoy the city life this location is wonderful! very close to various attractions and shops which she has much knowledge to share. the apartment was lovely, however the one comment I have is that there was no fridge and for those who may be concerned about food borne illnesses this made eating a bit more complicated. I cooked for myself just about every meal, but food was provided - a little limited (very healthy) based on her dietary needs but sustaining and satisfying. overall a very positive experience

I stayed with Melissa, Elicia, Michael and Niklas for two weeks, and it was truly a wonderful experience. They are incredibly kind, sociable, open-minded and welcoming people who immediately make you feel included. I shared this experience with another Workawayer, and we stayed together in a cozy guest house. We quickly built a great friendship, which made the experience even more special. Life in the community was very enjoyable. We spent a lot of time together, especially during lunches and dinners, sharing meals and conversations with everyone. The work included making wood chips, chopping firewood, cleaning wooden decks, watering the garden, and other seasonal tasks. Some days were more physically demanding than others, but we always had complete freedom to organize our workday, take breaks when needed, and work at our own pace. Everyone was incredibly supportive, helpful, and always ready to lend a hand whenever necessary. During our free time, we enjoyed the sauna, swimming in the lake, walking through the forest, exploring island life, and visiting nearby islands. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and offer the perfect balance between nature, community, and relaxation. My dog Luna was also incredibly welcome from day one. Everyone was always happy to give her attention and cuddles, and she had the best time running around freely and playing with the other dogs. Seeing how comfortable and happy she was made the experience even more enjoyable for me. What made this place truly special was the feeling of belonging. After only two weeks, I genuinely felt like part of the community. It didn't feel like I was staying with hosts—it felt like being surrounded by lifelong friends. Leaving was much harder than I expected, and if I could have stayed longer, I absolutely would have. Thank you for everything. I will definitely be back soon. ❤️

I had a wonderful stay with Lauren and Cairon and their daughters. Lauren is incredibly kind; she makes sure you have everything you need and is always looking after your well-being ! Her frankness and humor are sure to win you over ! During my stay, I helped with the farm work (caring for the animals, cleaning the enclosures, etc.). I looked after the girls, Ellia and Calla, two little bundles of energy ! But they are adorable. I also helped with some odd jobs around the house. I had plenty of free time to explore the area, and there are so many beautiful things to see ! Lauren's house is only an hour from the Rockies and 20 minutes from Bragg Creek, a very pretty village. I highly recommend Lauren as a host; I will miss her and her family very much !

Nuestra experiencia con Nina fue realmente encantadora! Nina es una anfitriona muy atenta, empática y amable. Su finca está prácticamente escondida en el bosque: allá encontramos silencio, relajación, animales preciosos (pájaros, monos, insectos), aire fresco y un alojamiento rural encantador donde pudimos cocinar por nuestra cuenta. Las tareas eran sencillas pero gratificantes, y sobre todo, Nina, una persona muy amable y dulce, siempre decía "por favor" y "gracias", algo que no siempre se ve. Recomendamos esta experiencia a cualquiera que busque un lugar de reflexión y respeto por la naturaleza y por sí mismo. Arrivederci Nina y Samu!

Semy & Mahmut became part of the family, we felt that they had lived at our house for ever, as they knew exactly what to do, David & I would make them very welcome if they ever want to come back, really will be sadly missed x

Nhiên is a sincere, hardworking, and responsible volunteer who consistently carries out her duties with care and dedication. She brings a positive energy to our ashram and her pleasant demeanor, kindness, and polite attitude make her a joy to work with and a valued member of our community. We appreciate her service she brings to our ashram and welcome her again to volunteer in our ashram.

I made the most amazing memories here! Juliane and Maik were sooo kind, always helping me solve daily problems. Working in the garden was absolutely wonderful,you can feel peaceful in Apolda.i very appreciate that i can be the first workwayer here!
