I spent five fantastic weeks with Johanna and Richard! Two weeks on my own and three weeks with my boyfriend who joined me. They were easy to contact and gave us great advice on driving through the snow to their place. The main task was helping them renovate a bathroom in their chalet. They showed us how to use many tools and were very attentive in explaining each step of the construction. We learned a lot from them. Even in the kitchen, Richard showed us how to make bread, mayonnaise, etc., and Johanna and I baked Christmas cookies. We learned many recipes from them. They also introduced us to Norwegian culture. The work schedule is quite flexible; you can have a full day of work, a more relaxed morning, and time off together. We went skiing several times, hiking, took a boat trip, went to the pool/sauna, and celebrated Christmas in a secluded chalet—a real family getaway. We also had lots of fun chatting and laughing, played games, and Johanna taught me how to crochet. Fellow travelers, you'll have a wonderful experience staying with Johanna and Richard!

I am Jhair from Peru, and I was lucky enough to spend one week volunteering with Dave and Julia. From the very first moment, they made me feel at home and truly part of the family. I really enjoyed feeding the sheep and chickens, helping with cutting the grass, and sharing in the local activities and traditions, especially the Christmas parade and carol singing, which were very special moments. It was a warm, positive, and inspiring experience. Julia and Dave have a wonderful energy and encourage you to stay active and enjoy everyday life. I wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts 💛

Franka was a fantastic Workawayer! Very hardworking, uncomplicated, and reliable from day one. We truly enjoyed her company and the time spent together. She contributed a lot and left a very positive impression. We can fully recommend hosting her.

I stayed with lovely Liran one week at the end of November (including my birthday which was super and wholesome!) on a very short notice after another workway cancel, and she warmly took me in. We had great luck with the weather, a sunny week it was!, so we worked on the wall facades which was much fun and a creative process. We shared music, laughs and chocolate, I sincerely hope to go by Liran's house again in the future. If you enjoy a vey calm somewhat isolated village in beautiful nature, if you are okay with maybe sun but maybe more likely, rain, have a sense of personal time and space, you'll have a beautiful time here. I 100% recommend Liran :) Big hugs, dear Liran!!

I stayed one week at Emine's farm and everything been good, the working hour was correct and we had différent things to do from morning and afternoon, the room is nice so you can have your own time, the food is amazing and we had great and interested talk during the meal time :) Emine is clear with the organisation and had a lot of advice for places around and further in Turkey thank you very much for the time there and Wish you the best for the time coming up ! big hug to all the dogs and cuddles to potato ✨

Nico invites you into his home, he welcomes you, he surfs with you, he parties with you. He's the owner but he's also your friend. You can see the blood, sweat and tears he's put into the place and that's what makes it feel homey. it's a lovely crowd that stays there, the town is a good party place and the beach is excellent.

Theo is a very special person. It was such a great experience to have him with us for 3 weeks. We wish he could have stayed with us much longer. His gentle presence made it very easy for communications and co living. He has a keen attitude toward learning and a willingness to work tenaciously . An amazing ability to work as a team and always has great input. Theo was a big part of construction of a tiny house. He has lots of energy and enjoyed cycling to the village after a days work. We really hope to see Theo again. Highly recommended for various work experiences.

Because of Lars' help I could leave my place and travel in peace to see my father for one week. It was very helpful to have someone taking care of the house while i wasn't there, even if we didn't met before. Lars also helped me with a great number of tasks that I needed to do around the farm. Thank you so much for your help! Cheers!

I had such a pleasant experience staying with Arda and Nazan. I felt like a loving member of their family as they took great care of other volunteers and me. This was my first Workaway experience, and I am eternally grateful that it was fruitful and rejuvenating (after spending some time in busy Istanbul). We would start the mornings fertilizing and weeding the olive trees for a couple of hours, and then follow that with a filling lunch break. Sometimes we would have a coffee break after working in the afternoon. This was also a wonderful cultural exchange as we celebrated New Year's with Nazan, Arda, and their friends, devouring delicious Turkish food and listening to classic Turkish songs. We had a forest walk with them and their two dogs, Moki and Chucky. We shared some meals; Nazan made us a satiating Turkish breakfast on a Sunday morning. Nazan and Arda provided a generous amount of food for us to cook, sometimes giving us pre-made food. Additionally, they would ensure we had enough wood for the fireplace at night. They offered to bring us to Kaş a couple of times, which was very kind of them! I enjoyed sleeping with the cats at night. I would typically cuddle with Yoda. It was a good balance of tending the land while also engaging in a cultural exchange. I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who is looking at this posting! It was so nice getting to know Nazan and Arda, and I hope to come back to their land in the near future. They are so kind and caring, and I will forever cherish the time we spent together. (I tell my grandchildren about them!)

Pasé dos semanas fantásticas en diciembre con Alejandra y su hija. Son dos personas muy acogedoras, súper alegres, con una relación maravillosa y a las que les encanta charlar, lo que me ayudó a practicar mucho mi español. Al llegar me recogieron en el aeropuerto y al día siguiente me llevaron de visita por Valencia. ¡Fue como tener una guía privada! En cuanto al trabajo, ayudé a ordenar, limpiar, preparar la comida y hacer la compra tanto para la casa como para la tienda. Pasé mucho tiempo con ellas, pero también me dieron mucho tiempo libre para visitar Valencia, Sagunto y las montañas cerca de la Serra Calderona. Fue muy interesante compartir su vida cotidiana y atesoraré esta experiencia. ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo!

Me gusataría escribir en inglés pero no hay palabras para describir lo maravilloso que fue pasar estas dos semanas con ustedes. Son personas llenas de energía, emoción, y muchas metas. Es un placer conocerlos. Gracias por ayudarme en cada tarea y por compartir sus experiencias y habilidades. Siempre fueron muy serviciales y respetuosos. Siempre ayudando hasta fuera de sus horarios de trabajo! Excelentes voluntarios pero sobre todo, excelentes amigos de vida. Son un gran equipo juntos, sigas así. Todo el tiempo hubo comunicación y respeto. FYI: COMEN POQUITO CHILE HAHAHA

Mederick is a truly inspiring young man. He is engaged in life with a positive attitude everyday. It was a pleasure to host him as he has a keen willingness to learn and comes with a varied array of skills. Great conversations with openness and curiosity. He helped with building a tiny house. He cared for the property and animals while we were travelling. We are grateful to have him stay with us for 7 weeks.

Having Raphael around was amazing. He was very interested in the project and would do whatever was necessary to help me meeting my goals. Thanks for helping me out and for understanding how difficult it can be working on a farm, your help gave me the strenght to move on!

More than volunteers we got two new friends with Thomas e Marta! They stay with us only for a week but we enjoyed every moment with them. They are great helpers and thanks to them we could finished the jobs before winter. Such a good week together, thank you guys!

Ce fut un grand plaisir d’accueillir Nuria. De nationalité espagnole, elle a très rapidement su s'adapter à une clientèle majoritairement francophone, grâce à une excellente maîtrise du français à l'oral comme à l'écrit, ainsi qu'à une grande aisance relationnelle. Elle a géré au quotidien l'accueil des clients, les réservations, les demandes spécifiques ainsi que les informations touristiques, tout en maintenant un haut niveau de qualité de service pour l'hôtel 4 étoiles. Elle se distingue par son sens du service, sa patience et son professionnalisme. Elle sait gérer les situations délicates et résoudre les différends avec beaucoup de tact, en restant toujours calme, diplomate et orientée vers la satisfaction du client. Son attitude positive et sa capacité à désamorcer les tensions ont largement contribué à fidéliser notre clientèle. Appréciée de nos clients, elle fait preuve d'un véritable esprit d'équipe, de ponctualité et de fiabilité dans l'exécution de ses missions. Son intégration au sein de notre structure a toujours été exemplaire et elle a su s'adapter à des périodes de forte activité sans jamais nuire à la qualité de l'accueil. Qu’un seul souhait qu’elle participe de nouveau à l’aventure. Thierry

Je n'aurais pas pu espérer mieux comme première expérience workaway. Je suis restée une dizaine de jours et je me suis sentie comme en famille. Imma et José-Miguel, mais aussi tout le reste de leur famille car j'ai eu l'honneur de les rencontrer, sont accueillants, chaleureux, inspirants et profondément humains. J'ai pu travailler dans leur magnifique jardin, faire du ménage ou encore de la peinture. Imma a une forme invétérée, nous avons donc parcouru les belles montagnes et plaines qui entourent leur belle maison. José-Miguel est un cuisinier hors pair, nous nous sommes régalés du soir au matin. Ils m'ont beaucoup appris que ce soit sur la langue, sur l'histoire de la Catalogne, sur leurs valeurs et leurs convictions et ce fut un partage vraiment enrichissant. Merci encore mille fois. Je suis persuadée qu'on se reverra car pour moi ils sont devenus des amis, que ce soit à la Nou, en Nouvelle-Calédonie ou à Paris, on se reverra. Merci, Gracias, Olé.

Hosting Noemi for two weeks was a truly special and unforgettable experience for our family. From the very first day, she became part of our home. She did an incredible job volunteering with our son, Matías. They connected beautifully—talking in English, playing, building Lego, playing soccer, riding bikes, and sharing so many joyful moments together. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care were evident every day, and it was wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Matías was with her. Sharing Christmas and New Year’s Eve and Day with her made the holidays even more meaningful. Making tamales together, celebrating as a family, and creating new traditions with her presence was amazing. She embraced our culture and family life with an open heart, and that meant so much to us. We are deeply grateful for the time we shared with her. We will truly miss her. We sincerely hope that our paths cross again in the future. We couldn’t recommend her more to any family lucky enough to host her.

We stayed with Petr for just under one month, starting in mid-November and ending in mid-December of 2025. Our tasks included picking mandarins, painting, other light tasks around the property, and cooking for/with the team. The work expectations were fair and clear, and the work days were flexible -- we were encouraged to take multiple days off to explore surrounding destinations! The countryside is BEAUTIFUL, the other workers are down to earth and cool, and the neighbors are fun (especially if you speak a bit of Russian). Petr was wonderful to talk to -- he is truly a world traveler, and his knowledge of the world and its people makes for fascinating conversation. And, of course, we ate very, very well while we were there. We also loved getting to know all ten cats and miss them already. In all, we could not recommend staying with Petr enough, and we both hope we have a chance to reconnect with Petr again!

Barbara es una buena persona y muy confiable, y muy rápido de aprender cualquier trabajo. GRACIAS Barbara!
