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.

Definitivamente no nos equivocamos al aceptar la solicitud de Kevin porque fue una elección excelente. Es un joven sumamente educado que captó todas las indicaciones de forma inmediata. Resultó ser una ayuda invaluable para mí, al punto que me permitió descansar y recuperarme de una gripe muy fuerte. Era un alivio levantarme por las mañanas y ver que ya todo estaba limpio y que los perritos y las gatas ya tenían su comida. Además de ser muy trabajador, congenió de maravilla con todas las mascotas. Es una excelente persona a la que recibiría nuevamente con los brazos abiertos. ¡100% recomendado para cualquier anfitrión!

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!

We stayed with Sarah and Hannah for a month in August... and then another month...and then another month 😂 We just didn't want to leave! Sarah is a great host, she is kind, dynamic, patient, funny and extremely caring. Hannah is the sweetest little girl you have ever met, very mature, funny, caring, super smart, a delight to be with and around. We were able to work out a work/play schedule that worked for all of us which allowed us to enjoy Whistler bike park all summer. We got to go on holiday together and do lots of fun activities with Hannah. Buster is an old sweet doggo who minds his own business and likes to lay outside and keep an eye on his property. Communication with Sarah from the start was super easy and clear. They are now our second family and we will be life-long friends ❤️ Thanks again for everything Sarah and Hannah. and we will see you back in Europe soon!!!

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 ☺️

This was a great time here. Misael is a great guy, relaxed, easy to get along with. I mostly helped him and his dad with some cunstruction work. Nothing complicated, anyone could do it. Great way to learn. Every now and then we did some field work: cleaning with machetes, harvesting corn, etc. If you know Spanish and English you could probably helped with translation on some tours. That for me was by far the best part. Like this you get to know the area, flora, and fauna really well. You also get to meet more people, the guides, the travelers, and potentially some community folks. The house was nice, maybe 20m or so by bus from Tena, super easy. There are two smaller towns nearby. Bus runs right by the house. Unsurprisingly, the area around is super beautiful, especially the river, which you can walk to from the house.

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 .

This is my first workaway experience. I couldn't be more grateful to this Nepalese family. The lady of the household, we call her big sister, is such a patient, compassionate, resilient, kind, and powerful woman. I feel safe, and empowered by her side. Her husband, her children, their spouses, her grandchild, are beautiful people, that I see as my family. The family dogs are adorable. The family cows, chicken, goats, frogs are also wonderful on their own. The neighbors are sweet and lovely. The the view of the place is stunning! I could sit for a long time, just looking at the mountains, the valleys, and feeling content. I learned a lot of how farming works in Nepal. It is hard work. And I met some very interesting, very friendly and supportive workawayers there. In fact, in this place, I never felt lonely.

Edwin had planned to stay two weeks with us. He stayed one. Strong and willing - he helped us with a lot of tasks, like digging, carrying wood, cleaning etc. He communicated his needs clearly and assisted with everything needed. He even prepared a tasty curry for us. Thank you for the help!

We had a wonderful experience hosting Katie and Sam, who joined us from Australia. From the very beginning, they were warm, friendly, and eager to contribute in every possible way. They played an important role in our painting project, showing great dedication and attention to detail. Their efforts truly helped in improving the learning environment for the children. Alongside this, they were always willing to lend a hand with household tasks, making daily routines smoother and more manageable for everyone. One of the most valuable contributions they made was working with the children. They actively helped in teaching English, engaging the kids with patience, creativity, and enthusiasm. Their interactive approach made learning fun and enjoyable, and the children quickly built a strong bond with both of them. Beyond work, Katie and Sam brought a lot of positive energy to our space. They spent quality time with the children, playing various card games and participating in activities that created joyful and memorable moments for everyone involved. Their presence was not just helpful but truly inspiring. They showed genuine care, adaptability, and a strong sense of responsibility throughout their stay. We are incredibly grateful for their support and would be more than happy to host them again in the future. We wish them all the very best for their journey ahead and hope they continue to spread kindness and positivity wherever they go.

I had a really great time with Ghassab, the sheep and his family in the mountains surrounding Petra. Getting there was very smooth! Ghassab is extremely communicative and he arranged the pick up from the nearby station to his lovely pink house. I felt immediately so welcomed by the kindness of everyone I met - be it Ghassab himself, a great person and gifted storyteller (amazing for our times around the fire at camp!), his sister Waheeda, who radiates such sweet kindness and makes the most delicious food, their very respected and formidable mother Noora, the other volunteers I was with, or by the other shepherds. They even helped me greatly with my arabic! Ghassab and the other shepherds invited us into their daily lives and taught us about the sheep with such admirable patience and skill. After a week surrounded by mountains and sand dunes, under rain or shine caring for the animals, I felt incredibly connected to the earth and grateful to have had this experience. There’s a magic in this place. My stay has given me memories I’ll hold onto forever. Thank you ♥️

The bestEST host on Workaway. I felt grateful every single day staying in Pablo's home, surrounded by beautiful mountains. Pablo is funny, open minded, and fun to be around. I received SOOO much inspiration from him. I feel very lucky to have experienced the beauty of rural Spain through this stay. These memories will always have a special place in my heart:)

Me and my partner Jubi spent almost 2 weeks in Michiko, Jensen and Sarasa's home. There is so much potential to learn very useful life skills in this place, from eco-friendly farming, through good food preparation and conservation to crafts and alternative approaches to education and learning process. I don't want to spoil it for future Workawayers, so I just say that I definitely want to come back here and contribute to the heartwarming project of very knowledgeable, kind, hospitable and healthy family. Thank you so much and take a good care of yourself and each other. See you! Eli and Jubi

I can only use superlatives as feedback for Andrew and Kaleigh. This was their first Workaway experience, and they were fantastic as helpers and home guests. Despite many cold and windy days, we made great progress on the boats, including difficult deck scraping, rearranging of boats and trailers, and thoroughly cleaning a boat and trailer that had been in storage for several years. Plus they did a deep clean of my home, did great meal cleanup, and cooked a very tasty stir-fry meal last night. Perhaps above all else, they were easy and fun to be with. I completely enjoyed their stay with me. I highly recommend this dynamic duo.
