Staying and working with Hiroe and Jos was an absolute delight! The environment, work, and people are all so special, and it was a pleasure to be part of this small, dynamic community for the week. The area around the food forest is beautiful and quiet, full of nature and interesting shrines and stone buddhas. Arayashiki, where the WAW-ers stay, an amazing, renovated traditional home, is a serene place to spend time. I felt very lucky to be staying there! The work itself is very interesting and well-led by Jos. The ideology behind the food forest is fascinating, incorporating lots of interesting philosophies around food growing, creativity and community. The work was always manageable and enjoyable, encorporating problem solving and I learnt lots of new skills! Last but definitely not least, Hiroe and Jos' generosity and openness, as well as their energy and passion for the project, are inspiring. Hiroe's cooking is unparalleled and some of the best I have tried in Japan! I greatly appreciate the meals and coffee breaks spent together, chatting and laughing. I left feeling much more knowledgeable and energised! Thank you again, Hiroe and Jos! Would greatly recommend to other WAW-ers.

Saki is one of the best helpers! Super diligent, attentive, independent, and considerate. Always in a good mood, she hums her positive songs while tidying up, doing crafts, and out and about. It was a joy when she came "out of the wild", where she loved to climb on the trees – she enjoyed nature as much as we enjoyed her cheerful nature. All the best on your way of life ✨ and always welcome back!

I had a super time with Jessica and the family. They were very welcoming and included me in family activities ranging from simple things like dining/watching television to interesting cultural excursions like seeing a climbing competetion that one of Jessica's children was competing in. It was great fun playing tennis and football with the family. The work was interesting; I was power-washing the front yard to remove moss for the first half of my visit and I was painting in the house for the second half of my visit. The jobs were satisfying with a clear beginning and end. The bedroom was really nice, just recently painted. The area is lovely. It's a quiet residential suburb with frequent buses going to the city. I had plenty of free time to go and explore Reykjavik. I would definitely recommend staying with this Workaway!

Hi Camilla! Thank you so much for all your help. We are grateful for everything you have done and for all the positive energy you brought to our surf house. You were always cheerful, kind, and you took great care of our guests, making them feel welcome and comfortable. You also helped us keep the house super clean and organized. It was a pleasure having you with us and we wish you all the best for the future!

Hermosa persona ,muy activa y responsable , colaboró en todo tipo de trabajos en la chacra y se relaciona muy bien con el resto de los voluntarios .

Sandrine was an amazing house guest and workawayer! She was always willing to check in to see what was needed, where she could contribute best, and was a delight to discuss and spend time with. We shared lots of travel/life stories and adventures, went on lovely walks together and shared many meals. She helped give a longer life to my house by painting all of the skirting. Her help and presence were welcomed and invaluable! I would recommend welcoming her to everyone!

My partner and I had a really enjoyable experience staying with Hubert for a week. Hubert is such a kind and generous man. We had our own apartment in his amazing big house which he built himself. He always made sure that we were well looked after and had everything we needed! The work was really fun, we spent 4 hours each morning doing tasks such as chopping wood with a machine, stacking wood, helping with his building projects and cutting ivy. He dropped us to the station a couple of times which was nice of him and let us have a day off for a day trip to Basel. The area we lived in is straight out of a fairytale, there are hikes all around, including the legendary path which he made. I would highly recommend this stay! Thank you Hubert 🙂

Tom is an excellent worker, eager to learn new things, always trying to do his best. A very kind and friendly person , a pleasure to have had him visiting!

This was my first ever Workaway and I had a brilliant time! Garry was great to work for and we visited loads of cool places. Communication was excellent throughout and I really enjoyed getting to know all the guests. The house we stayed in was perfectly charming and all of the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this experience to others!

Jedd a été au top. Il fût d'une grande aide au quotidien pour l'entretien de la maison et il a aussi créé tous le mobilier d'une de mes chambres. Jedd est hyper positif, bienveillant et très respectueux. Ça a été un plaisir de l'accueillir et je l'accueillerai à nouveau s'il repasse par le Martinique.

Ayla stayed with us for 1 month and we would have love to host her for longer! She was extremely helpful in communicating with students and welcoming newcomers into the speaking club. Her lovely energy will light up the mood in any room she walks into. We had no issues about the rules or responsibilities. She is aware of the expectations and she does her best to meet them. We would love to host her anytime she wants to come back :)

Thanks, Nour, for staying with us in Itá Ibaté! Here's my review for your future hosts! Meeting and hosting Nour was such a great experience, first of all because we had never received Egyptians before, but especially because he is such a nice person. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious. My students, colleagues, and I enjoyed learning a lot about Egypt from him! He's very respectful and responsible. I highly recommend him for your projects!

This place made a great memory for me. I enjoyed giving water to donkey, cleaning up the camp, drawing pictures, sewing, and building stone staires cooperating with others :⁠-⁠) In free time, we can go to the beautiful blue beaches and a hill where we can see the great sunset. I went beach quite often and saw sunset a lot, but everytime, happy feeling fulfilled me. It was awsome. I also chilled in the hammock and on the trees in mountain. And sometimes, christian kindly arranges some small trips, such as to a beautiful snorkeling places! In addition, I'm sure that you can meet many nice people and animals in the camp. Spending time together would make bond strong :⁠-) I hope to see you them again.  Lastly, thank you Christian for this great opportunity and all things you provide us. Thank you Stronborino for the making us smile. Thank you for everyone I met in the camp. I'm looking forward to see developed near future.

Had such a wonderful time staying here! The host was kind, generous and welcoming from the moment I arrived, and really made me feel at home. The food was great too, with delicious local meals that catered to everyone's dietary needs - no one was ever left out. One of the highlights was the hiking in the Pyrénées. The host knows the area so well and was happy to share tips and recommendations, which made exploring the mountains even more special. I also loved getting a taste of the local culture, including the chance to go along to a local festival, which was a brilliant experience. The project itself is amazing and genuinely inspiring - the host has built an off-grid eco-house in the most beautiful location, and it was fascinating to see and be part of that. On top of all that, the other volunteers were lovely, and there were so many friendly animals around, including dogs, chickens and a cat, who all added to the warm, homely feel of the place. Would highly recommend staying here for everyone who loves the outdoors, communal living and doesn't expect a 5-star hotel- a brilliant experience all round!

I had the pleasure of being Electra's first workaway host 😊. She is a lovely young lady that shows interest and is open to new experiences. She was a great help to me both in the garden as well as some house hold chores. I can definitely recommend her and wish her a lot of fun and good luck with her future plans ✨️.

I honestly don’t even know where to start. What was supposed to be a two-week stay turned into three weeks because leaving was far more difficult than I ever expected. This place is so much more than an animal shelter. It becomes a home, a community, and a place that stays with you long after you leave. Of course, volunteering here means hard work. But every bit of work feels meaningful because you can see the difference it makes in the lives of these dogs. One of the most special parts of my stay was my deep connection with Smokey. She completely stole my heart. Saying goodbye to her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Please take extra good care of my sweet Smokey ❤️. There were also so many unforgettable moments. One day, I went on a hike to Laguna 513 with two other volunteers, and each of us was allowed to bring a dog. Watching them experience this adventure was something I will never forget. The weekly pizza nights brought everyone together and made us feel like a little family. We shared stories, laughs, and memories. We were also allowed to use the pool at Samana Lodge once a week, which was such a gift after long workdays. What truly makes it special are the people behind it. Kishor and Jessica are some of the kindest, most genuine people I have met while traveling. The love and dedication they put into every single dog is inspiring. This is truly their life’s mission. So when I left after three weeks, I didn’t just leave a place. I left with friendships, memories, and a piece of my heart that will always stay here. Thank you to everyone there and of course all the dogs for this unforgettable experience. I already miss you more than words can say!

I had a wonderful time here whilst visiting Sydney - I was only with Anna-Klara for just over a week but would've loved to stay longer if I could! From the moment I walked in I received a very warm welcome & was super comfortable the entire time. There's a nice laid back environment in the house which makes you feel right at home. The room was lovely & location was ideal. Easy public transport - plus the tasks were very fair. I'd 100% recommend.

Jana and Christian were simply fantastic Workawayers! We gave them several challenging tasks and they not only completed them successfully, but also brought their own creative ideas and initiative to every project. The final results exceeded all our expectations and turned out far better than we had ever hoped for. Christian has outstanding practical and technical skills and seems capable of building, repairing, or improving just about anything. Whatever task came up, he approached it with confidence, independence, and great attention to detail. His positive attitude and easy-going nature made it a pleasure to have him here. Jana is one of the kindest and most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. Together with Christian, she worked on our fence and awning, and she also did some painting with impressive precision and care. Her positive attitude and warm personality made every day a pleasure. One very special highlight was the baking course Jana gave me. We spent a wonderfully cozy time together, learned new skills, and enjoyed some absolutely delicious cakes. The work was excellent, but what made their stay truly special was the time we spent together. We enjoyed many interesting conversations, lots of laughter, and even some games in the evenings. The week passed far too quickly because we were having such a great time. The good news is that Jana and Christian are already planning to come back, and we couldn't be happier about it. We are genuinely looking forward to seeing them again. To our fellow hosts: if you are lucky enough to receive a request from Jana and Christian, don't hesitate for a second. You simply won't find better Workawayers. They are hardworking, skilled, creative, reliable, and wonderful company to have around. They arrived as strangers and left as friends. Along the way, they gave us an incredible amount of help and contributed so much more than we ever expected. We give Jana and Christian our highest possible recommendation and are grateful for every moment we shared with them.

I had such an amazing time!! Eugenio and Ettore are such caring hosts, they made us discover the région, taste delicious homemade food (special thanks to Eugenio's family)... I created wonderful memories. As for work, we had to clean the orange, which we did most of the time with music. i definitely recommend this workaway and hope to see again everybody I met there !

The stay in Rossano was our first Workaway experience, and we can say it was an unforgettable time. Eugenio was the best host you could imagine, and his family and friends were incredibly warm and welcoming. You could tell how much Rossano means to Eugenio, and he shared that with us! We had so many fun evenings and delicious meals, made great memories, and had an amazing time overall. Anyone thinking about coming to this place-do it!!!
