The time I spent with Pol and Agata was truly wonderful! They’re both so lovely! And their dogs, Selva and Caliu, are so cute! I felt right at home straight away and I’m so grateful for all the great and inspiring conversations. And, of course, the absolutely delicious food! Pol tried to vary the tasks as much as possible and showed me several things. I have learned and did so much that I’d previously thought I couldn’t do! It was great fun! Outside of work, we went to a yoga class in Vic and to a bar with friends, and at the weekend I went hiking and got creative. The house is set in beautiful nature and is the perfect place to unwind. I was allowed to sleep in their van and absolutely loved it! Saying goodbye to my new friends was hard, but I’m sure we’ll see each other again someday. Thank you for everything! ❤️

I had a wonderful time staying with François! He welcomed me with great kindness and perfect courtesy, and even my two cats instantly took a liking to him (and the feeling was mutual!). Unfortunately, the Workaway had to be cut short earlier than planned, but even in handling this change, François was extremely sensitive, fair, and respectful. The house is beautiful and the hospitality was fantastic. I absolutely recommend him to any volunteer: he is an exceptional host with a big heart.

The time I spent with Stefania will be shorter than planned but only because of some personal issues I have to deal with on my own. But be sure she's a great workawayer and don't hesitate to welcome her! Once you explain her what you want and need to help you, she will do it very well, whatever you ask her. You also can be in trust with her and let her manage with the tasks, even if you're not there. I left her alone in my house for my job and I never have a problem. Her two cats are so nice and friendly, already two trues travelers and she takes well care of them and their stuff to keep the place clean 🙂. Very friendly, kind and always ready to help you, I thank her a lot for everything and also her comprehensive mind. 🙂

We stayed with Colette at her beautiful home in Passavant and thoroughly enjoyed both our tasks and conversations over meals we cooked together. As a host, Colette is extremely welcoming and flexible, and our tasks varied day to day around the house and garden, from weeding and garden maintenance to cleaning in the house and preparing for her guests. We established work expectations early on, so we were able to build our schedules however we wanted, and were free to take breaks throughout the day. A highlight of our stay was our time spent with Colette and the other workawayers, specifically over shared meals, comparing our cultures and discussing our interests. We felt incredibly welcomed, especially as first-time workawayers, and couldn't recommend this experience more.

It was so lovely to be in this hostel in Tenerife for two months. I really enjoyed the island sporty lifestyle. We (while I was there we were three volunteers) kept the hostel very clean and tidy and the job shifts were always clearly communicated and organized. Mateo and Jade are nice and kind people. Highlights: hostel dinners🍕 in the rooftop and surf lessons (more or less) once a week. A big hug to Mateo and Jade.

I planned to stay for two weeks but ended up staying for a month and a half because this experience was absolutely amazing! 🌟 Working with Ben was fun, positive, and deeply inspiring. He and his family are incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and fun to be around💛 The eco-building project is truly ambitious and genuine, and I learned so much about sustainable construction during my time here🛠️ The ecovillage itself is beautiful, surrounded by a stunning forest full of wildlife🌲🦜 Just a quick heads-up for future workawayers: the local cockatoos will definitely act as your alarm clock ! 😂 Spoiler: start training your pull-ups before you arrive, you're going to need it!😉 I highly recommend volunteering here to anyone looking for a meaningful and organic experiences. Thank you, Ben and family! 🙏✨

The time with Sadie and Jade was a really happy time, they fitted from the beginning in the group with two other workawayers. As they both are young, interesting and interested women, we were never short of subjects to discuss. Much comparisons were made between the countries we live in and it was fun to share them over meals we cooked together. Both worked in the garden and around the house, and were always happy to help - lots of tasks and some serious window cleaning were done and we had to be flexible when the sun came out, it was quite cold and sometimes rainy and they adapted their schedules. I recommend the two friends who really got on very well and often did the tasks together - with a smile!

Thank you very much, Dani, for the time you spent with us and for helping us. Daniela is very helpful and communication went really well. Daniela helped us a lot in the garden and played nicely with the kids. Thanks for the good conversations. Now we have to solve the date puzzle every morning on our own, unfortunately without much success.

I had the absolute best time spending a week with Mark. His home was beautiful, tucked away in a beautiful village and the bedroom was perfect, plenty room and a nice decor. Mark cooked a hearty meal every night, and as someone who likes to eat a lot, I was never left hungry. I spent the week helping Mark with his boat which I really enjoyed, and he even took me out for a BBQ where we spent 4 hours on the water, with great food and lovely swimming. This was my first workaway, and I had the best time, and will definitely keep in touch with Mark.

Alasdair was a first time Workawayer, and one could not ask for a nicer and easy-to-interact with person. It was great having him in my home as well as all his very helpful work on my projects. Relatively new to DIY skills, Alasdair still kept up with me on all items we tackled, and even suggested solutions to problems I had not thought of. On the BBQ boat he laid down non-slip deck tape in a very orderly fashion after hand cleaning the deck. In the boat yard he finished the painting of the fishing boat, painted items on the sailboat, and varnished the spar. At home he helped greatly with fixing the plank floor in the kitchen, and always did a decent job with cleanup after meals. Alasdair enjoys conversation and is very friendly. He is also very sportive, and walked and climbed many of the local hiking trails. I highly recommend him.

During these spring days I had a great experience of working with Krista and Vivi. They were both highly motivated in helping me with cleaning out the territory and being very helpful in keeping household. They took care of cat and give my kids great time of language exchange. Thank you, guys, have a great journey

Raimon is one of the most kind and interesting people I have ever met! He is so welcoming and immediately makes you feel like part of the family. I stayed with him and a few other workawayers for almost two weeks and my only regret is not staying longer. The area is perfect if you enjoy nature and the outdoors, with hiking trails very close by. Raimon knows the mountains very well and is happy to offer tips and advice on where to go and what to do in the area. He’s incredibly generous and always willing to help. Thanks again for an amazing experience Raimon! I will be back! :)

Staying with Alessandro and Manon (and Brioche) for 8 days. Their farm is located in the perfect spot for exploring the outdoors. There are trails *from their property* that lead to a system of great trails in the area. The night sky is filled with the most stars we've ever seen, definitely look up at night. Schedule was great. It gave us free time to explore the area and rest. We had breaks and afternoons off! They also let us take 2 days off during the 7day week. The accomodations were lovely. The little cabin was private and well insolated. There is a heater. There is an outdoor shower and toilet that were suitable for the whole time we were there. A highlight for us was spending meals with Alessandro and Manon. We talked with Manon about the importance of food and eating together in her life and culture, which made sharing meals extra special. It's optional, but we would definitely recommend getting to know these hosts over food - you might hear some fun stories 😉. We were lucky to contribute to all areas of their project. We did some carpentry, restoration, planting, forest maintenance, and harvesting. Alessandro is knowledgeable and loves to share if you're interested in permaculture or sustainable food. They taught us skills and techniques for all these activities. We felt safe the whole time and learned! Even though we literally picked cherries, the cherry on top is Brioche, the most affectionate companion ever! We would definitely recommend this host and would love to come back for longer!

Martin is a really helpful chap and is keen to be participate in family life. He's also a great cook which is a bonus. He sees household jobs that need to be done and just does them which is also a great quality to have. He's responsible, reliable and has great energy and is methodical too. Welcome back anytime. Thanks for coming to stay!

Wai Sum (Mivy) and Wataru were everything we look for in 'Workaway' guests - they were interesting and interested, helpful, self-motivated and did the jobs we gave them really well and without supervision. They took good care of our animals for a couple of days when we had to travel for work unexpectedly. We enjoyed sharing meals and conversation with them and hope we will stay in touch - would not hesitate to recommend them as guests

Julia, Stephan, and their wonderful daughter Alicia kindly welcomed us into their beautiful home after we had a horrible experience with a previous host. They are kind people and we shared many interesting conversations. Julia has a beautiful soul, and Stephan’s deep knowledge of esoteric topics was fascinating to learn about. They even shared their love for yoga with us and took us kite surfing! They took us on trips around the area and gave us the opportunity to go to Barcelona, which we are really grateful for! Having access to their car and scooter also gave us the independence to explore the amazing area. Over our three weeks, we helped clear bushes for fire prevention, removed the bad grass, sprayed the plants with protective agent, took care of grocery shopping and prepared vegetarian meals for the whole family. However, we spent most of our time with Alicia. She is a bright, lovely child and we grew so fond of her. Together, we explored nature, read books, drew, did yoga cards, made salt dough to print her hand, searched or screamed for peacocks 🦚🤍, danced and laughed together. We also spoke to her in German to support her bilingual upbringing. One weekend, we even looked after four other children so the parents could have a break and enjoy their weekend together. We played in the pool and lots of board games. We especially bonded with Peter, a very imaginative child we won’t forget. We are incredibly grateful to this amazing family for the opportunities they gave us. We wish them and Alicia all the best and hope she grows up to discover the world in her own unique way!!

I had an incredible time volunteering in Unawatuna. From the moment I arrived, Lucky made me feel welcome and part of the hostel family. He is a friendly, respectful, and supportive host who genuinely cares about both the guests and the volunteers. The tasks were clear, fair, and exactly as described, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. What made this Workaway truly special was the atmosphere at the hostel. I met amazing people from all over the world, and the relationships I built with the other volunteers are memories I will always cherish. We worked together, explored the area, shared meals, and had so many great moments that made my stay unforgettable. The balance between work and free time was excellent, giving me the opportunity to discover beautiful Unawatuna and experience Sri Lankan culture while contributing to the hostel. The work environment was positive, relaxed, and well organized. I am grateful to Lucky and everyone at the hostel for such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this place to any volunteer looking for a meaningful Workaway experience, great people, and an unforgettable stay in Sri Lanka. Thank you for everything, and I hope our paths cross again in the future!

I had a great experience, teaching English at a local school (school 1 in the profile) near to Phayao for about one week! Everyone went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, the children are very cute and eager to learn (although fun of course, is the most important thing). I accompanied a different teacher each day and got to meet children from kindergarden to the age of 12 (: If you join the project, make sure you visit Hani at the community centre too! The communication and organization with him was great! It was very convenient for me to use the scooter, otherwise I imagine it is a bit hard to get around!

We spent six weeks living with the family on the boat and had a great time with them! Fabrice and Amandine are a very friendly and welcoming couple and the children were eager and enthusiastic to play with us from day one, so we felt settled in to boat life very quickly. It was a nice opportunity to experience a unique lifestyle, see lots of beautiful places along the Greek coastline, and have lots of nice swims!

Felix is a doer! He is so up for anything. He is a problem solver. He is a really great guy and we would like to have him here full time. Is there nothing you cannot do Felix.
