If you want a real authentic experience of Bedouin life in Petra this is an amazing place to go! Every day we had a delicious breakfast at Ghassab’s sister’s house and then went into the silent hills of Petra either with the sheep or goats. Herding the sheep is more chill/easy (just a couple hours in the morning and afternoon to take them up the hill and back) and herding the goats is better for people who like hiking for the whole day and are confident on rocky/steep terrain. You also take a lot of breaks and sit in the silent beautiful environment while the goats eat. It can be hard to understand instructions sometimes but it’s fine, Norah is an incredible woman and you will have a real experience not a tourist one! I even saw Norah deliver a baby goat and I carried him home. I felt welcomed straight away by Ghassab and very comfortable as a solo woman - completely disagree with the previous person’s feedback here. The volunteer house is really nice and comfortable and it was brilliant sharing the experience with other volunteers. In the evening we returned for a delicious dinner. I would highly recommend this experience ⭐️

No tengo más que palabras bonitas hacia Saúl. He tenido el placer de tenerlo en casa varias semanas en dos períodos distintos (y espero que vengan más), y realmente ha sido una gran experiencia coincidir con él. Es una persona muy responsable a pesar de su juventud. Hizo sus tareas (y más) a la perfección, dejando el huerto bien preparado para siembra así como ha dejado el bosque como un jardín de lo bien cortado y mantenido que está. Ha hecho un gran trabajo físico exterior a parte de colaborar en el dia dia de la casa y cuidar a los distintos animales de una forma muy ejemplar. Hemos compartido muchos juegos de mesa (poker sobre todo, aunque muchos otros más, que por cierto, se le dan muy bien), charlas, risas, comidas y muchos otros momentos que hemos pasado en casa. Llego un voluntario y se quedo un amigo. Un autentico placer, y hasta luego, porque nos volvemos a ver seguro.

It is truly a magical place to reconnect with yourself and with nature deeply. You’ll be sleeping right in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by monkeys, incredible butterflies, exotic birds, and all that the jungle has to offer (yes, including spiders and snakes too 😉). The vegan food is very tasty, healthy, and perfectly balanced. Mari is an amazing host and makes you feel at home from the very first moment. She is kind, open, and always willing to accommodate your requests whenever possible, especially regarding work tasks, schedules, and accommodation. All the people are very kind, always smiling and ready to help you make you feel home. There is always plenty of work to do. I was in charge of helping Mari take care of her lovely six dogs, each with their own strong and unique personality. I also helped with painting, sewing, and general maintenance of the structures at the Lounge. I loved working every day in such close contact with nature. The place itself is a real paradise in the jungle: you can enjoy a sauna, a natural swimming pool, and beautiful peaceful spaces for rest, reflection, and personal time. Volunteers stay in a dedicated structure where they also cook their own meals and share responsibility for keeping everything clean and tidy (the kitchen is open directly to the jungle, which makes cleanliness even more important). The location is remote and deeply immersed in nature. There is no public transport, so going into town requires a taxi or coordination with Ivan, the driver. There are also limited options to explore Chapada dos Veadeiros independently without a private vehicle. However, one amazing hiking trail to a waterfall starts directly from this place — absolutely not to be missed! It was a unique and unforgettable experience for me and I fall in love with this place, hoping to be able to come back soon! Thank you <3 Just come with an open mind, love for nature and awareness of the remote location, and you’ll have an amazing experience!

Sienna was one of the most special Workawayers we have ever had. She has an incredible ability to turn her hand to anything and always does an excellent job. There is something truly special about her. Sienna is kind, calm and respectful of your space, thoughtful, creative and resourceful. She brings a wonderful energy wherever she goes and was a pleasure to have around. We are so grateful for the time she spent with us and wish her all the very best in her future travels and adventures.

We had such a great experience spending a wonderful month there in the northern wild of Norway. Britta and Marco were excellent hosts, everything went perfectly ! The island is pure gold, so much birds and animals, and the weather was really something with the eternal sun. The balance is perfect between work and freetime : we worked in the morning, had lunch alltogether and then could use the afternoon for whatever we liked. We usually had dinner together as well, each cooking on a different day. We spent a bit of time with other workawayers only at first, as Britta and Marco were on vacation. They were very kind to let us use their car to go to Tromsø or hiking, and to have trust us enough to let us come even as they weren’t there. It was great to also have time with them before we left as they are really gentle and welcoming people, always caring and interesting to talk to :) We couldn’t be happier about this workaway experience, and would recommand it without hesitation! Thanks for everything and hope we’ll meet again! :-) PS: sauna was great! And we already miss the waffles

Le cadre est sans aucun doute l’un des points les plus marquants du projet. Il s’agit d’une zone de montagne très belle, avec des sentiers et des espaces naturels qui permettent facilement de se déconnecter. Concernant le travail, il m’a semblé équilibrée et conforme à ce que j’attendais. La vie en communauté et l’organisation du quotidien ont été plus variables. À certains moments, la communication et les relations changeaient de manière notable, ce qui pouvait créer une certaine incertitude et une forme d’inconfort dans l’ambiance générale. Malgré cela, je reste reconnaissante pour ce que le projet m’a offert et pour ce que j’y ai vécu.

Great job

Wonderful experience. Welcome back anytime. Great help!

My experience with Cumie, Alex, and little Kai was simply wonderful. It was my first Workaway experience, my first solo trip, and my first long stay in another country, and I couldn't have imagined anything better. I stayed with them for five weeks, and if I had been able to, I definitely would have stayed longer. Cumie is an incredibly helpful, calm, generous, and supportive person who is always there when needed. Alex is equally kind, generous, and very funny! And Kai is the cherry on top. Kai is a child you need to get to know in order to live well with him, as he has his own needs that may seem challenging to manage at first. However, it doesn't take long to build a connection with him, and once you do, everything becomes much easier. He respects the boundaries that are set for him and he’s a sweet and generous child. He was patient with me and my not-so-perfect English, and it was incredibly sweet whenever he said, “Tell me the words you don't know in English or Spanish, and I'll teach them to you!”. I learned so much from him, and he will always hold a special place in my heart. They provide accommodation but not food, so that is an expense to take into account. Sometimes they offer you tappers of food but these are definitely not enough to survive, it’s just a plus. They were also very kind to invite me on a boat trip for a day! I stayed in another house they own (not the one where they live), where other people live. There I met people who became friends in a very short time, and with whom I shared so many great experiences. The atmosphere in that house is truly magical. The room is not the best but it has all the basic essentials. I sincerely thank this family for making my experience unforgettable, and I hope to be able to return and visit them again someday. ❤️

Staying at this lodge was increíble!! I've stayed here for 2 months, and enjoyed every single day! Heyner is amazing! So kind, patient and always optmistic, and ofcourse an amazing karaoke singer;) Jenny is an amazing cook and soo kind. You really felt like my second parents for those months! I'm so happy I've met you and that I was able to really experience the local Costa Rica life! I've loved every second. Hasta luego!

This was absolutely the most unique experience I ever had - the project was so much more than contributing to help building the school and washing facilities! From the friendly volunteers&staff members, the incredible lovely people & resilient community, the integration in the Philippino culture and discovering the island - all of it made my experience and journey there even more unique! Feel blessed, and even though the work is intense, it is absolutely rewarding!! Returned home with recharged energy and a full hart! Keep up the amazing work everyone with AH&H is doing!!

Lena stayed with us for almost 2 months from April until the end of May 2026. She quickly became a part of our family. She has a wonderful personality and will always be remembered fondly by all of our family. She enjoyed chatting with the girls and playing board games , particularly chess. They loved having Lena around. She also helped my older boy with his German before his summer exams. She was so good to our dog Cookie. She loved to take him out for walks and he followed her around the house. He really enjoyed having her around too. She is very socialable and met up with some German and Spanish girls living in the area and enjoyed heading off exploring different places at the weekend. She made the most of her short time in Ireland and was also a great help to us in a very busy house. Thank you Lena and you are always very welcome to come back and visit us if you are in Ireland again.

Such a delight, courteous, thoughtful, gentle caring nature, works really hard. A total pleasure meeting Q and getting to know him. Hope to be friends for a very long time.

I stayed at Sally and Pieters for just under a month in May. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me with open arms. I helped them harvest pomegranates, pecan nuts, and corn, clear invasive reeds, and do other small tasks like helping them with computer admin, filling holes to plant trees in and fixing netting and removing stones from their orchids. It was sometimes quite physically demanding however, they were always very considerate about switching the work up to easier jobs and Sally would often be working alongside me, so they knew exactly how I was feeling. We would have lovely conversations at teatime. They provided all meals during the working week which were always delicious. Sally taught me how to make pasta, and they invited me to go to the market with them every Saturday. I spent my free time going into the small village town only a few KMs away, going for several beautiful hikes in the area and reading. They are very knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind individuals and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is not afraid of a little bit of hard work and enjoys being out in nature, you will definitely enjoy your time with them. Wishing them all the best for everything that is to come.

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! 🙏✨
