Elea, You were wonderful.... we miss you!. it was like having a new daughter here!. She fit in completely. Every task she took to heart to go above and beyond what was expected. Elea is an absolutely wonderful gal . She entered in to the chores like the critters were her own. Our heifer aborted which brought many issues we had to deal with and Elea was right there, beyond the expected time in her chores, concerned and looking for ways to help. She always joined in with community happenings . We just cannot say enough at what a pleasure it was to have her here. We pray for your future Elea, the Lord will direct you to do amazing things in your future. ! THANK YOU again !

I had an amazing experience in Iquitos. The first two days, I was really out of my comfort zone, mainly because my Spanish level was not good enough. Iquitos is also a really big and busy city, so you have to be prepared for that. But the family is so nice and so generous that you quickly forget everything else. The mum, Bertha, is just one of a kind : she is so kind to everyone, and she is always taking care of you, checking that you are doing well and feeling well. She is truly the best. She is also preparing the best breakfast. Everyone else is also amazing, really inclusive and communicative. The family was always offering us to join in their daily life activities and I really felt included. About the school, some of the kids are not the easiest to manage, but they are so cute and happy and cariñosos with the volunteers. You can really feel like you are making a difference by helping them. I really got attached to these kids. As the classes are in Spanish and that the family mainly speaks only Spanish, I really recommend to have a good level of Spanish for this adventure. If you are looking to get out of your confort zone, improve your Spanish and help children that really need it while living with an amazing family and enjoying the péruvien way of life, I strongly recommend this volunteering! Thanks again to the family for the amazing time 🙏It is for sure an experience that I will never forget and the family will always be in my heart !

I had an incredible time helping Inken get her apartment ready for the summer! I got to spend 2 weeks putting my renovation, repair and organisation skills to good use! I was joined by my partner (see seperate review from our couples account) and another workawayer in our second week so we got a lot accomplished in the time we were there! It was exciting to see all the progress we made and the Airbnb on our last day ready to welcome guests. The apartment I stayed in was lovely and Aljezur is beautiful. Inken was a lovely host! She had great recommendations for us during our stay. We also got to share some lovely meals together. Inken only asked for 3 hours a day and was happy for us to keep track of our hours and plan the week and modify the schedule to our preference. I felt very welcomed and appreciated from the start. I really enjoyed hearing Inken’s stories and getting to know her more throughout my stay. This Workaway experience was fantastic. I would highly recommend it when Inken needs help in the future!

Mia and Noel are amazing people, ready to share and happy to chat. Hugo is an adorable boy, so cute and enthusiastic for everything, he enjoys to be pet, scratches and take out for beautiful walks or runs after cats. He needs very basic care and you really enjoy your time with him. The walk to Kells Priory is astonishing, the village's pub is so cozy and the entire village, as the accomodation, are. Mia and Noel are such amazing hosts! The next store is not that close, but there are many buses to Kilkenny and both Mia and Noel were so kind to take me to town with them, so I've never been out of something. Everything is highly recommended!

Arne and Riet are an amazing couple and it was a pleasure to host them. With their hard-working help we were able to significantly advance several projects, involving construction and farming. Their thoughtfulness and deep care towards the people, the project and the work, helped made everything flow in a beautiful way during the time they stayed with us. Any project would be lucky to host them. The doors of ours will always be open for them.

I hosted Marnie for about two weeks and we had a great time together. She took care of the things that needed to be done and there’s nothing I can complain about. Marnie was friendly, reliable and willing to support wherever needed. Her positive attitude contributed to a great atmosphere for both guest and staff. She’s welcome to come back anytime!

Audrey stayed with us in the month of May, she helped us out with cleaning and general maintenance of the hostel. She was proactive, and would go above and beyond without being asked. She's independent, she has her own vehicle which made things easier for her, this also meant she could bring others on adventures - needless to say that she got on quite well with everybody. We would definitely recommend Audrey to any future hosts

You can't wish for a better volunteer! Azura has been the sweetest person to have around, highly skilled, perfect work ethic- she did such an amazing job! I can only recommend her. and would be happy to welcome her back anytime. 💖

Our first-ever Workaway experience in France was everything we could have hoped for and more. We had an amazing time, learned so much, and felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Jane, whose kindness, generosity, and incredible knowledge of the local area made our stay truly memorable. Her passion for the history, culture, and hidden gems of the region added so much to our experience and helped us appreciate the area in a way we never could have on our own. We leave with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for the Workaway community. Thank you, Jane, for making our first Workaway such a positive and unforgettable experience!

You can't wish for better volunteers! Azura and Luis have been the sweetest people to have around, highly skilled, perfect work ethic- they did such an amazing job in my house! I can only recommend them and would be happy to welcome them back anytime. 💖

Dani was a warm and gracious host, who is organized and has scheduled work. Despite being busy with the shelter, she had us for tea and lunch and was available if we needed anything and to help coordinate a weekend trip. Her dad, pancho, and employees Meli and Nacho and very welcoming and we had a few nights spent at Panchos cabin enjoying music. You live and work along side the dogs on her property and will surely end the trip with wanting to take a few home. It is an active lifestyle on a picturesque property, as the trials for dog walking are on an incline. My favorite part, was getting a peak into Dani’s life because it is inspiring to see her create the life she wanted to have ( living and caring for 40+ animals) despite the odds and making a space for people to join her vision along the way.

Tobi is a beautiful human being! He stayed with us for 10 days and it was an absolute pleasure to have him. He is generous with his time and presence, mindful, cares for details, curious and very easy to live with. We had a few projects in mind for him to help us but we had an unexpected visit from the construction guy and finally we could tear down a wall we wanted to take out for many months...so most of the first week was focused on that. We all learned together and he was stoked with all the tasks we did and proposed him to do. He also helped us finish our last bed of the garden, transplant some veggies there, clean the chicken house, cut the grass/bush and prepare a future green filter/garden next to the chicken house. So yes, plans changed and he just adapted to every new turn of events with a big smile. We had deep conversations and also made jokes about mundane things... very easy going! We also practiced yoga together in the city and he joined Pol for an openning of a friend's new business and got along with Pol's friends easily :) It was a blessing having him with us. Thank you Tobi for being how and how you are!!!

We really enjoyed our time at Inken’s place helping her get the downstairs Airbnb apartment ready for the last 2 weeks. It was fun putting our renovation and repair skills to good use. The apartment we stayed in was lovely and Aljezur is beautiful. The outdoor deck and pool were a highlight for us! It’s also only a 30 minute drive to Lagos. Inken is a warm and kind-hearted person. It was really nice to be around her calm and positive energy! We enjoyed the opportunity to get to know her more throughout our stay. Having a hire car was very handy so we could explore. Walking to the shops and the beach is doable but not super practical, so we’d definitely recommend having a car. It was cheap to hire a car from Lisbon but Lagos is also an option for a little more. Before we left, we got to share a lovely dinner with Inken and another Workawayer. We also enjoyed the opportunity to cook a meal together during our stay. We also loved having Inken’s fur babies around. We would come back in a heartbeat and wish Inken all the very best!

Yuzuki only stayed a week with us but we thoroughly enjoyed her company. She completed the jobs we gave her quickly and thoroughly. She was polite and appreciative and cooked us a lovely Japanese chicken dish. We can heartily recommend Yuzuki to any future host!!

Thumbs up for friendly, communicative and motivated Kiley! She stayed almost one week and helped us with light household duties like ironing, cleaning kitchen boards and fridge. Besides that Kiley is a passionate hobby fotographer, which was great for my brandnew opened ice cabin studio "Ehinger Kältekammer": she took great fotos and videos for my social media contents which will be a big support! After trying my cryo cabin (from down under to -85°C...) Kiley was even more energized and motivated:-)! Highly recommandable that woman!

I had a wonderful time at the cottage. For a few hours per day I helped out in the garden. Emilie and her cat Doolin were fantastic hosts and great company. We shared lovely meals and interesting conversations together. All in all, I felt very welcome, safe and comfortable at the cottage.

We spent a month with Rachel, Chris, Elliot, and Oliver and their wonderful animals. Of their menagerie Ivory the chicken, Shadow the three-legged dog, Joey the cat, and Jaque the horse became close companions of ours. They made it very hard to say goodbye. Home for the month was a renovated pigeoneer — one of those charming old stone towers you see dotting the French countryside — and it was the perfect little base for everything that followed. The work was varied and satisfying: building a compost bin and a new muck heap, stable shelving, hauling gravel for the driveway, repointing the old farmhouse wall, pruning trees, and helping out with the horses and chickens. Nothing felt overwhelming — just good honest outdoor work with a sense of real contribution at the end of each day. The area is stunning. Historic villages and châteaux practically around every corner. Bring a car if you can — it opens everything up and makes exploration so easy on days off. Rachel is warm and genuinely great to work alongside. Her boys were so polite and helpful and Chris was a great conversationalist. If you’re looking to slow down, get your hands dirty, connect with animals, and soak up the French countryside without any of the noise — this is your place. Thank you Rachel and family for allowing us to have this experience. With appreciation, Kevin & Ella

This was my very first Workaway experience, and what was initially planned as a two-week stay turned into five weeks - which probably says a lot about how much I enjoyed being there. Phoebe and Patricio are wonderful hosts: welcoming, positive, energetic, and always active. They have two adorable young boys who bring plenty of life and laughter to the place. And then there's Donna, the sweetest dog ever - although I strongly suspect she's actually the one in charge of everything! This kite place is perfectly located right on the beachfront, making it an ideal place for surfers and kiters. The kite house has internet access, and hosts regularly organize social events, usually about once a week, were they treated staff, Workawayers and frinds to BBQs and paellas, which were great opportunities to connect with everyone. I was even offered free surf lessons, which was a lovely bonus, although surfing isn't really my thing... I stayed in the staff house, about a 10-minute walk from the Kite House. It has six private rooms (for staff) and one dorm room with five beds for Workawayers. The house includes shared bathrooms, a kitchen, living room with fireplace, washing machine, portable drying lines, and a large outdoor area with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ. There is no internet or air conditioning in the staff house, but portable fans are provided in every room. The beach is only a short walk away, and the area is generally quiet, becoming livelier during the summer season. The location is approximately 25 minutes by car from Denia. There is a bus service every two hours from morning until early evening, with more frequent service during the summer months. Within walking distance you'll find two small supermarkets, a tobacco shop, and a handful of restaurants that remain open year-round. My tasks were varied and interesting. I helped clean and organize the staff house, including bedrooms, bedding, kitchenware, and communal areas. I co-created house rules, helped shape and finish the outdoor kitchen counter using epoxy, fitted a hob, painted and sanded/varnished various projects, and assisted with several DIY projects both in the staff house and at their summer restaurant. The staff house is an ongoing project, so there were always opportunities to contribute and learn new skills. One of the biggest highlights was the people. I met some truly amazing, respectful individuals from different parts of the world, and everyone got along incredibly well. I made friendships that I believe will last a lifetime. Overall, this was a fantastic first Workaway experience. I learned a lot, contributed to meaningful projects, met wonderful people, and created memories I'll always be grateful for. Thank you to everyone at Kite project for making my first Workaway adventure such a positive one.

I had such a wonderful time with this family, and honestly, it was a truly special experience. They are without a doubt some of the kindest, happiest, and most genuine people I have ever met. Valeria is an amazing mother, Ezio is a wonderful person, and Elia… oh, he is simply the sweetest, gentlest little boy you could ever imagine 🥰 They made me feel at home from the very first day. Even though I only spent a short time with them, I already felt like part of the family, and I’m sure this is only the beginning of our friendship. The vegan food was always delicious, and every day was filled with warmth, kindness, and positive energy. Besides being truly wonderful people, Ezio and Valeria have created a beautiful home surrounded by nature and full of love. Their values, outlook on life, and way of living are inspiring and deserve great respect. I genuinely felt welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. They are open-minded, thoughtful, warm-hearted, and incredibly generous people. Thank you, guys, for our trip to the adventure park, for the lovely evening with your friends, and for all the beautiful moments we shared together. I’m leaving with wonderful memories and I truly hope to see you again very soon 💛
