Shin stayed with us for 2 weeks during a really cold snap and Christmas and New Years. He fit right into the Canadian winter lifestyle! Learning how to start a fire and became the fire keeper, making sure it was always going, bringing in firewood and making kindling. He never complained about the cold and just got right to work. He helped us out a lot keeping the place clean, walking the dogs (he loves dogs!), dishes and laundry and whatever else I needed help with. He is a calm presence and it was great to have him over Christmas and New Years. I wish him all the best on his Yukon trip and he is always welcome back here.

Charlotte and Cain stayed with us for around four weeks. They are lovely, friendly people and we really enjoyed the time they spent with us. They were assigned various tasks from strenuous planting and clearing vegetation to general garden maintenance and house cleaning. They worked hard without complaining and enjoyed the work. They are worked very thoroughly and were happy to work more if there was need to work a little longer to finish a job. They respected our finca and the their accomodation space. We had fun evenings together and it was a pleasure to socialise with them. We were sad to see them go and wish them all the best for their travels. We can highly recommend this lovely couple.

Staying at Max and Liza’s place in Cambutal has been one of the most meaningful experiences of our journey. We spent around a month and a half there and from the very first days we felt part of something truly special. The volunteer work is real and constant. During our stay, turtles came almost every night to nest and nearly every day baby turtles were hatching. We helped locate and protect more than 80 nests, with almost 7,000 eggs, carried out nightly patrols, monitored nests, released hatchlings and conservation tasks. It is rewarding work, but it also requires commitment, especially during the night patrols. Going as a couple or with someone else is highly recommended, as sharing the workload and the experience makes it even more special. Outside of the conservation work, life in Cambutal is simple and beautiful. In our free time we surfed, cooked together, went fishing, visited a nearby waterfall, and enjoyed long walks with the wonderful dogs Chico and Phoxy . Sharing meals, conversations, games, laughter and daily life with Max and Liza has been a highlight for us -they are incredibly kind, generous and inspiring people. Getting to Cambutal is not easy - it takes around 12 hours from Panama City, combining several buses and a final 4x4 ride crossing rivers through the jungle - but it is absolutely worth it. The place feels like paradise: a huge, untouched beach with stunning sunsets, coconut palms, and the jungle just behind the house, where you can often see monkeys and other wildlife passing nearby. This is a peaceful, remote and truly unique place. We will deeply miss Cambutal, the company, the dogs, the turtles and the life we shared there. This experience has meant a lot to us, and we truly hope to come back one day. Thank you so much, Max and Liza, for everything.

Pyry stayed with us for two weeks in December. We had very good weather so we did some smaller projects outside, such as trimming and planting the bushes, preparing a parking place etc. Pyry was a great worker and he followed instructions very well. He is a bit shy but we communicated well together. I can reccomend Pyry to anyone who needs help with getting some work done. Thank you Pyry, and you are welcome to come again. I wish you all the best. Liliana

This was my first workaway experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Hans, Peter and Sophia are really lovely people. I always felt welcome at their place and the food was sooo good. The animals were great too, I especially bonded with Bosse and loved the horses. The work was also exactly as I expected and I was quite happy with the daily routines. There was always good energy around and even when I was sick for a bit Hans and Peter were so kind and helpful. I had a great time and got to read and crochet a lot in my free time and they even let me ride a few times. all in all it was a great stay and I would do it again. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this and be part of your cozy life in Sweden! Meike :)

First of all, we would like to thank Erasmo for the wonderful welcome! Staying with him was pure pleasure. Erasmo is a bundle of energy, he showed us local dances, cooked with us and shared interesting facts about Campania. Working with him was very rewarding. I recommend him to anyone who wants to have a real experience. Thank you! :)

I can truly recommend from the bottom of my heart that everyone takes a break with Guido and Elisah. I had the time of my life during my 2.5 months with them! It all started with Guido and Elisah themselves—two incredibly warm-hearted, attentive, appreciative, and creative people. From the very beginning, arriving and connecting felt easy and natural, and the bond only grew stronger over time. Today, I can truly say that I have found new friends. And their daughter Ella is also a little ray of sunshine—full of life and love. My main focus was caring for the horses, but there are also cats, dogs, lots of nature, and countless opportunities to try new things: from animal care and training to helping Guido with building and crafting, as well as plant care and renovation projects—almost anything is possible. The farm felt like a big adventure playground, and I was always encouraged to bring in my own ideas. I would strongly recommend staying longer than two weeks, as it takes time to settle into new routines and to break old behavioral patterns. That’s when the experience truly begins to unfold. Staying longer also allowed me to build a unique connection with each of the animals. The little dog Karlo was my soul companion. The horse Apollo embodied calmness and uniqueness, while Moon carried a deeply maternal energy. Jupiter, the stallion—sometimes a bit headstrong—was nevertheless sensitive and curious. (…) Lola and Odin, two big dogs filled with so much love and joy for life. And of course, all the countless cuddle moments with the cats. (…) I would love to name them all and could go on forever but it would be too much! This time was a journey back to myself. Elisah is also spiritually and therapeutically active and gifted me a session. She opened up a new level of healing for me. If staying on the farm isn’t possible, I can only highly recommend booking a session with Elisah. I am deeply grateful for this experience and miss every single one of them. ❤️

Was one of the best experiences of my life. Nadine’s house in Sapa is amazing, the house, the people around and the other volunteers is all a match! The culture exchange is very present and I learnt a lot! I would like to thank wall the people envolved is this project, Nadine, Chua, So, Tong. I recommend this experience 100% , I wish I could come back some day! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to be part of this experience. The school is charming, the kids are wonderful, super kind and joyful, and Yogendra's family is really nice and welcoming. To this, add that Bhaktapur is a gorgeous town to live in. I'll always remember my time there with a loving heart. Thank you, Yogendra, and everyone at the school, for making this possible. All my blessings to you! 🙏

We are deeply grateful for your help. You were always willing to help and had a generous heart. We could say that our experience was incredible and fun, and that you also helped us, especially during the busiest season at our hostel.

We had such a great time staying with Soli & So! Our work options were super flexible so we chose to make them a piece of furniture. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and were incredibly generous with their time showing us round the city. It genuinely felt like we were visiting friends- such a special place! We will definitely keep in touch and be back!! Thanks for a lovely end to our Colombia trip :)

I had a fantastic stay with Manon in Almere, which is a lovely town and a great place to live. Manon is an amazing host…warm, kind, and very welcoming. I had my own room and plenty of privacy, which made the stay very comfortable. Her dogs, Lily, Luna, and Bucky, are all wonderful and brought so much joy to everyday life. I was especially grateful that Manon invited me to spend Christmas with her and her friends, which made the holidays truly special while being away from home. I highly recommend Manon as a host and would stay with her again without hesitation!

such a special time volunteering here! we stayed over Christmas & new years and it was so special- it's really a place to slow down and simply be, to enjoy life. Dawn is such an amazing women with a huge heart ❤️ she supports you with everything and will always be there if you need anything. I felt home & will always be grateful for this experience. The guests are lovely & the work super chill and nice. come here if you can! thank you Dawn 🌞

Well, my stay at Fanis's and Aeneas' place was truly blessing. Fanis is a deeply caring and genuine person, he has a tremendously creative soul, and a powerful grounding energy. I was lucky to share radiant moments with him and his smart ;) kid, Aeneas. Everything flowed gently and each moment felt embraced by the sound of the santouri. While helping around the house (especially with the wardrobe ;) ) and playing loudly with Aeneas, I discovered and learned so much during my stay - about hidden places, music, food, linguistics, about myself too... Staying with Fanis truly enriched me with golden memories, I must admit it was hard to leave... I would wholeheartedly recommend this place Thank you so so much Fanis for everything - and sorry for taking so long to write this short review ;,) (have been some crazy months...). Όλα θα πάνε καλά, kiss to Aeneas GAIA

This is an exceptional opportunity which I highly recommend for everyone with a kind heart! I felt gifted each day with the chance to live the Monastery lifestyle according to Humanistic Buddhist teachings, and as this daily practice is being the main focus of the international volunteer program, I really enjoyed that I could I partake in all of these events. You can arrive either as someone who never learned about Buddhism, or as an already practicing Buddhist, and basically anywhere in the middle! I wished to learned more, and I had the chance to do it in my own personal way, which made the process beautiful. I always found plenty of helping hands everywhere, in the Library, in the Buddha Museum, in the Calligraphy Hall, and from all the people I met along the way. The tasks were exciting and well scheduled, we were amazingly managed by a Program Coordinator, and I never felt overwhelmed with tasks. I spent almost the whole December at the Monastery, and could help at the Dharma Service during that time, which was very exciting and enjoyable, having many visitors and local volunteers around! A big plus that the program attracts very nice people, and I immediately got along with all the international volunteers, sharing laughs and jokes all the time! I feel eternally thankful towards everyone who is behind this amazing opportunity!

I stayed at David and Lenka's place for about 10 days during August this summer and I was truly happy with my experience!! I was staying in the lovely campervan they have in the garden while playing around with Kubik and Barborka and picking plums from the orchard. I felt so lucky to be able to stay at their place and help around. I enjoyed every chat and sharing moment both with Lenka en David as well as all the silly little games and running arounds with the kids, which I found to be really energetic and loving!!!! Harvesting plums and apples was also a nice and relaxed task, immersed in calm and nature! Days went off really genuinely, they were about enjoying walks in nature, chatting, playing. David and Lenka on day also brought me over to one of their friends' gathering and I really enjoyed it: we sang around a bonfire, ate exquisite food, strolled in the woods... One other day we also went out for a lovely lunch together! I was truly blessed. Thank you so much again David and Lenka, and please forgive me for takins sooo long to write this little review :,) (they were busy few months haha...) I hope you are doing great and I hope to see you soon again!!! Warmest hugs for all, Gaia ;)

I spent four very enjoyable, interesting, exciting, and wonderful weeks in Pocone and would like to express my sincere gratitude to Flavio, Juliana and the entire family. I was able to participate in the daily life of the family and the people from the neighborhood, which I enjoyed a lot. In the mornings, I worked for a few hours at Casa da sopa, helping to cook Brazilian dishes and playing and entertaining the children, which I enjoyed immensely. In the afternoons, I gave private English lessons and also taught a group of tour guides in English. As a physical therapist, I was able to work with two patients and was very happy to be able to help them. However, it didn't stop at english classes and physical therapy; with some of them I became friends and we spent a lot of wonderful time together. The weekends were another highlight. Together with Flavio and Juliana, we went on trips in the surrounding area, I got to spend time on Julianas brother's farm with the whole family, and we went on an unforgettable trip to Chapada dos Guimarães with a wonderful walk in the mountains and bathing under five waterfalls. On the other weekends, Flavio organized trips for me to the Pantanal. Beautiful nature, fascinating wildlife, wonderful accommodations, and nice people. I would like to thank Flavio and Juliana very much for this wonderful time and can wholeheartedly recommend a Workaway there.

Franziska was a warm and friendly team player in our working bee retreat. Although the work was mainly weeding, she did it with care and diligence and her signature happiness. She engaged in the retreat part with interest and intelligence. No hesitation to give her the highest rating and hope she finds her way back here sometime.
