Mis hijos se lo pasaron genial con ella, Se nos hizo corta su estancia. Nos hubiera encantado que se hubiese quedado más. Podía hablar de cualquier cosa con ella. Cuando quiera es bienvenida en nuestra casa.

Me encantó como a pesar de no hablar tan bien español, cuidaba a mis hijos. Siempre estaba sonriendo, fue una experiencia muy buena.

La verdad es que hace mucho que se fue y seguimos echándola mucho de menos. Fue de gran ayuda.

I had a great time with Leticia, Victor and Alba for a month in Cartagena. From the very first moment they took me as a part of the family, which helped me a lot, since it eas my first Workaway experience. I helped her in looking after the children after school and sometimes at weekends. We played a lot, went to the park and lived our life together. The mornings were completely free to visit Cartagena and its surroundings. I didn't know this region before and it was surprisingly beautiful. I could even take some dance lessons for which I'm very grateful. By the end of the month I felt a special connection with the kids, specially with Alba, who once even came to my room to relax a bit between two games. And I was also sooo proud of Victor whose self control raised a lot on our last weekend. Leticia is a warm-hearted, open person with a sense of humour I really like and we had deep talks in some evenings.

Alisa stayed with us for three months from September to December last year,She is very young but she learns very fast, after just three hours of teaching techniques and some class observations, she was teaching like a pro, I especially loved the German class we had with her, we had fun while learning; Our students loved her and miss her; Alisa is also hardworking and so organized. Despite the short stay ( if compared to the school year), she manages to teach and learn a dance with the pre- kindergarteners and showed the dance with the kids and the teachers during the Christmas show, I was so touched; She is also so kind , friendly and helpful,she got on well with all the teachers and manages to make a rather introvert teacher to open up with her and with us, She also took part in all the activities at school and took advantages in being around to do some medical training as she is a student nurse. Alisa is a bit sensitive but I love how she is so open so we can help her when needed, we could comfort her at times and we could understand her needs and expectations.I highly recommend her if she asks to volunteer with you or your organizations;Thank you for everything Alisa, please stay in touch, our door is widely open if you come back to Madagascar one day;

c'était mon premier volontariat et j'aurai pas pu rêver mieux. le quartier est parfait pour découvrir la ville. le travail est super interessant vu qu'on voit la construction d'une maison de A a Z. y a une ambiance de colocation. William est la personne la plus gentille est pédagogue. vraiment une super expérience !!!!!

We had a great stay of two weeks on Marcos farm. Marcos is a very calm, nice and understanding person. He selflessly helped us with all our problems. Communication was sometimes a bit tricky, since he doesn't speak much English. But with google translate and him as a Spanish teacher, that wasn't much of a problem. We helped him build a BBQ-Area with concrete. After work we usally took a swim in one of the three refreshing small waterfalls nearby. There are three very cute dogs, a cat and a horse living on the big, beautiful farm. Our accommodation was a small hut, which offered all the basics, but got a bit hot without air conditioning. We bought our food in a small store, which was a 15 min walk away. Marcos also took us to the town quite often, to show us around and to go to bigger stores. We also met other guests on the farm and had a great cultural exchange. Drinking Tereré, Caipi-Chakra and making pizza together was always a lot of fun. Thank you for this experience!

Jess, Jeremy and N. where a lovely family to stay with. I had a great time getting to know them and getting to seeing a glimpse into their life. I felt like if I didn’t understand something or forgot something that they told me already I could ask for clarification. I felt safe and connected with them. The food was really good and I didn’t feel like my gluten intolerance was a problem. The chores where not hard and made me feel like I was contributing something. I also liked that I knew what was expected of me at least one day in advance. I really enjoyed their company, had good conversations and time well spend. Especially with N., he has so much to tell you (even though he doesn’t know how yet), I was really happy playing with him and seeing how his incredible mind works. I hope to see you again:)

Terhi worked in our farm for one week in the summer 2025. During that time she stacked firewood, picked berries and washed rugs (finnish tradition). She is a reliable and hardworking person who completes tasks efficiently. Terhi has a positive attitude, work independently, and can be trusted to get the job done well. Overall, she is a great worker and easy to work with.

My past weeks staying with this family were amazing, i felt sad to leave and hope to be back one day! From the first day on I felt welcome and enjoyed being part of the family - the atmosphere in the family is very warm and generous. The work was exactly as described, i spent the afternoons with the kids and did some light help in the house, like cleaning up after mealtime. It did not feel like work, more like being a big sister. I really enjoyed getting to know the kids, which are all very nice and funny, each in their own unique way! My free time i spent exploring the area by bike or taking daytrips to nearby cities, like Padova and Venice, the location is very good for that. Lucia's cooking is very good and typical Italian food - i always ate lunch and dinner with the family (except if i was away on saturday/sunday). I can really recommend staying with this family if you are looking for a cultural exchange and wanting to immerse yourself in the italian way of living. Grazie per tutto, Lea

We had an incredible Workaway experience with Lynda and Michel. Their property on Thetis island is breathtaking with a gorgeous waterfront view and the cabin was more than accommodating to our needs. There is plenty to do in the gardens and buildings on their property. We helped with tasks such as painting, weeding, lawn care, bee hive maintenance and fire burning. I really enjoyed getting to know both Lynda and Michel and they are incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking and kind people. I truly wish we could’ve stayed longer, and feel bad for leaving hastily but hope we can stay in touch.

We had a wonderful time with Davina, Harry and the kids. We even stayed longer than we planed beforehand :) The farm is beautiful and there are many cute cats and 3 lovely dogs. We stayed in the little guest house for the first two weeks. Later we moved to the bigger one with a kitchen, because we then cooked lunch for all 9 people on the farm. Our other tasks were mainly painting walls. Kevin painted them white and Sontje got to paint colorful paintings on both the living room wall in the main house, and inside the smaller guest house. We also spent a lot of time with the kids, playing in the pool, teaching them card games and climbing trees. From time to time we also did some gardening. Davina and Harry told us a lot about their experiences in Paraguay, helped with all of our problems and gave us an overall really nice experience :) The farm is about 20 min away from Caacupé, but with Bolt this wasn’t really a problem. Our highlight, of course, was the good german bread. Thanks a lot for this great workaway!

Malina and Yade were really incredible. They were very well prepared, even thought it was their first time to Asia. We are going to look for this trait in our future Workawayers. We have done many trips, but yet as a first-timer in Japan, Malina and Yade can still surprise us with their local knowledge to help us made this trip such a great success. As I also did some business meetings in Japan, I brought Malina to help me with the meetings, as well as a chance for Malina to see some real-world business interactions. Hopefully Malina got some useful insights. In the future, we will also give opportunities for students to do business internship. We think those opportunities can help students expand their business networks. My business partners definitely are all very impressed with Malina. Thank you Malina for joining us.

We spent 3 weeks in May due to a retreat. As its name suggests, it was a place of peace and work. We worked in nature, met locals and had a good time with volunteers. The manager, MD was very nice, always present and listening despite his long working days he always came to take the time to go to the resort and discuss everything. We will come back with pleasure ☺️

Laras's house is super fun! I loved visitng Asturias! The vibes are amazing and chill. you will definitely have a good time at this work away! And he is very flexible with amount of time. I feel like we are friends now.

Inda came and stayed for just over 2 weeks ,he is a quiet unasuming guy socialising whilst keeping himself to himself ,gets on well with other workaways. He was given the talk of making a chicken house out of pallets ,a bit of a chore but he just got on with it without any complaints the result was a rustic chicke house which is exactly what it was meant to be so well done .Saddly he has now left us ,we wish him well with his new venture and he is welcome back anytime .

Alex est une personne ouverte et intéressée qui s’adapte facilement à de nouvelles situations. Pendant les cinq jours passés avec nous, elle a été attentive, serviable et très engagée. Elle a pris en charge les tâches de manière fiable, tout en étant toujours agréable et facile à vivre au quotidien. Elle a tout de suite créé un très bon lien avec notre fille, qui l’a rapidement adoptée. Nous nous sommes sentis très à l’aise avec Alex. Elle a un bon sens de l’ordre, ce qui rend la vie commune très agréable, et elle aime la nature comme nous. Dans toutes les activités qui se sont présentées, elle a toujours donné le meilleur d’elle même, que ce soit pour s’occuper des enfants, travailler au jardin, aider dans la maison ou cuisiner, d’ailleurs c’était très bon. Ce que nous avons particulièrement apprécié, c’est sa capacité à s’adapter avec finesse aux situations, notamment en ce qui concerne la langue. Elle a fait beaucoup d’efforts pour nous soutenir malgré la barrière de la langue et nous aider à progresser en français. C’était un vrai plaisir d’apprendre avec elle. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié les échanges personnels avec elle, et le temps est passé très vite. Cela rend l’envie de se revoir encore plus grande. Nous sommes reconnaissants pour cette première rencontre. Et comme nous habitons relativement proches, nous nous réjouissons de voir naître une belle amitié à l’avenir. Merci d’avoir fait le premier pas vers nous.

Emily came to us from very far away, NZ so we started communicating well in advance before her travel. She is a young person on a travel adventure, and we really hope she will find her place at university in France in the next year or so. Emily started out a shy and quiet person, but quickly gained confidence. She and Noah, the other young person we had here, became good chess partners (well, he taught her, and then she started beating him), cooks and horror movie enthusiasts.... We know how sometimes a new environment can be challenging, especially if you are like 18 years old, so it was great to see her get more comfortable. Emily enjoyed hiking in the mountains, doing all agricultural work, and helping us with all the general farm maintenance tasks. She followed instructions and was a motivated team member in our group. We wish Emily lots of luck with her studies, many wonderful trips around Europe, and continued progress with her chess game! Come back and visit us!

We had a significant backlog of farm tasks, but Ana and Brandon arrived exactly when we needed them most. They were incredibly helpful with trimming the date palms, managing suckers, and deadheading flowers. Between the date maintenance and the rock pool cleaning, we accomplished far more than I anticipated. Both were exceptionally focused and dedicated, and I highly recommend them to any Workaway host.+++++

Gordon was a wonderful host! Very knowledgeable about growing dates and other fruits. It was really interesting to learn about running a small-scale date operation, as well as hear his stories from growing mulberries and other varieties in Ojai, California. He knows the area well and can point you toward some great hiking spots if you’re into that. The work was engaging, and the conversations were just as rewarding. Overall, a great experience.
