Alex est une personne ouverte et intéressée qui s’adapte facilement à de nouvelles situations. Pendant les cinq jours passés avec nous, elle a été attentive, serviable et très engagée. Elle a pris en charge les tâches de manière fiable, tout en étant toujours agréable et facile à vivre au quotidien. Elle a tout de suite créé un très bon lien avec notre fille, qui l’a rapidement adoptée. Nous nous sommes sentis très à l’aise avec Alex. Elle a un bon sens de l’ordre, ce qui rend la vie commune très agréable, et elle aime la nature comme nous. Dans toutes les activités qui se sont présentées, elle a toujours donné le meilleur d’elle même, que ce soit pour s’occuper des enfants, travailler au jardin, aider dans la maison ou cuisiner, d’ailleurs c’était très bon. Ce que nous avons particulièrement apprécié, c’est sa capacité à s’adapter avec finesse aux situations, notamment en ce qui concerne la langue. Elle a fait beaucoup d’efforts pour nous soutenir malgré la barrière de la langue et nous aider à progresser en français. C’était un vrai plaisir d’apprendre avec elle. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié les échanges personnels avec elle, et le temps est passé très vite. Cela rend l’envie de se revoir encore plus grande. Nous sommes reconnaissants pour cette première rencontre. Et comme nous habitons relativement proches, nous nous réjouissons de voir naître une belle amitié à l’avenir. Merci d’avoir fait le premier pas vers nous.

Emily came to us from very far away, NZ so we started communicating well in advance before her travel. She is a young person on a travel adventure, and we really hope she will find her place at university in France in the next year or so. Emily started out a shy and quiet person, but quickly gained confidence. She and Noah, the other young person we had here, became good chess partners (well, he taught her, and then she started beating him), cooks and horror movie enthusiasts.... We know how sometimes a new environment can be challenging, especially if you are like 18 years old, so it was great to see her get more comfortable. Emily enjoyed hiking in the mountains, doing all agricultural work, and helping us with all the general farm maintenance tasks. She followed instructions and was a motivated team member in our group. We wish Emily lots of luck with her studies, many wonderful trips around Europe, and continued progress with her chess game! Come back and visit us!

The hostel in Valle de Anton is just an amazing place with amazing people! I spend one week there as a volunteer organizing activities such as morning yoga, Panamanian dinners, hikes, etc. The hostel staff is overly friendly and sympathetic and will make you feel part of the hostel right away. The workload is super chill with 4h/day 5 days a week. You'll have lots of time to explore el Valle on your own terms. It's a perfect place for digital nomads, as there is peace, space and great WiFi. Thanks Allan, Jakob, the girls & my colleague Danna for the short but amazing time!

Juliane and Colin, two young French people, came over during the very very early spring season. We were at some point 9 helpers plus Gabriel and Helen around the dinner table, so we had lots of people (and kitties), lots of laughs and many many wonderful moments to cherish. Juliane and Colin both are totally awesome people, ready to help, full of curiosity and initiative. Juliane got to drive the tractor (she was fierce and funny at the same time) and Colin took out all his aggression on the weeds, and came back relaxed and smiling. These two are wonderful cooks, very dedicated to anything you throw at them in terms of tasks, and very motivated to learn new stuff, ask questions and make the world a better place. Ah yes, they are also motivated to cook well, taste jams, and caress the kittens.... We have so many memories from their stay with us! We got to see Juliane (with Colin's help) do puzzle marathons, try to figure out how to navigate the world with her glass lenses switched (long story), read philosophy books and play the guitar, We had Colin teach Noah (with moral and professional support from Pete) how to improve his cooking, give expert, nuanced feedback about jams, and invent amazing slogans for anything possible (on kiffe a Vif!).... They both enjoyed taking walks in nature, going to the villages around us and so much more... We hope they got some good memories and new skills to take with them, and most importantly, new friends. Next time they come over, they will see their little plants big and strong, and they will be happy to see all cats jumping in the fields.... THANK YOU for all the help!

We had a significant backlog of farm tasks, but Ana and Brandon arrived exactly when we needed them most. They were incredibly helpful with trimming the date palms, managing suckers, and deadheading flowers. Between the date maintenance and the rock pool cleaning, we accomplished far more than I anticipated. Both were exceptionally focused and dedicated, and I highly recommend them to any Workaway host.+++++

Gordon was a wonderful host! Very knowledgeable about growing dates and other fruits. It was really interesting to learn about running a small-scale date operation, as well as hear his stories from growing mulberries and other varieties in Ojai, California. He knows the area well and can point you toward some great hiking spots if you’re into that. The work was engaging, and the conversations were just as rewarding. Overall, a great experience.

Noah is one of those amazing young people who is ready to help with anything. A waterproof Dutch man, he is unphased by water, wind, or mud. Noah is extremely reliable, disciplined and responsible. He follows house rules and is always there to lend a helping hand. We were so happy to have him with us, and so were all the cats!!!! He was excited to learn a lot of new stuff about agriculture, plants, various tools and also.... well.... cooking! We found out that the young gentleman is a keen kitchen enthusiast, so we got plenty of inspired recipes, from tiramisu (miammmmm) to pasta (also miammmm) and anything in between.... Noah is also a keen chess player, and spent many an hour in front of the fire playing against Emily, while caressing various furry kitties..... For some reason, he is also into horror movies. OMG the screams from the computer! We were extremely lucky to get Noah to come and help us during his gap year. We hope he will come here again to see how the plants and the whole farm is developing. Big hugs and so many thanks!!!!

Agathe is a wonderful young woman full of talents and enthusiasm for life ! She's been a great fit to our family, building a great relationship with our kids, with us parents and also with the friends and people who spent time with her ! She quickly became a lifetime friend and wll always be more than welcome at our farm!! <3

Silvia ist ein Geschenk. Sie hat so ein Strahlen von innen heraus und ist zu völlig Unrecht unsicher. Es ist eine Freude mit ihr zu sein. Sie ist zuverlässig, achtsam und einfühlsam und selbstständig. Ich bin glücklich sie kennengelernt zu haben. Und sie ist so voller Freude, Neugier, Interesse für alles. Das steckt an. So macht es Freude mit ihr Wissen zu teilen. Wir werden uns sicher wieder sehen

He estado con David casi dos meses (de febrero hasta finales de marzo 2026), y la experiência ha superado con creces mis espectativas. Desde el primer momento David te da toda la confianza y te hace sentir como en casa, ademas de que es una persona muy cercana y muy fácil para la comunicación. Por otro lado, el lugar es un autêntico paraíso en la tierra, el sítio perfecto para conectar con uno mismo y con la naturaleza. En lo que ser refiere al trabajo es muy sencillo y relajado, colaboras con el mantenimiento del lugar pero sin ningún tipo de presión, David te lo pone todo muy fácil y te ayuda en lo que necesites. En mi caso me siento muy afortunado de haber podido vivir esta experiência inolvidable y me llevo un regalo de vida y de autoconocimiento. Muchísimas gracias David por todo, espero volver a visitaros pronto! Un abrazo.

We had a very positive experience with Camille and Erika during their stay with us. From the very beginning, they showed themselves to be highly organized, responsible, and proactive in their daily tasks. They integrated wonderfully into our family life, always showing a genuine interest in being part of our day-to-day routine. We especially appreciated how open they were to learning about our culture, traditions, and way of life, which made the whole experience even more enriching. They did a fantastic job taking care of our 15-month-old baby, always being patient, caring, and attentive. They also got along very well with our dog, which was very important to us. And of course, we can’t forget to mention that their dog Milo is absolutely adorable! Overall, their help was incredibly valuable to our family, and we would definitely recommend them to any future hosts.

i will never forget the kids and hosts. they were all kind. you also get to contribute your own ideas. communication isn't always great but your work will be appreciated either way and someone will always try to help out. just a note: save a little extra money because sometimes you have to take the bus but it is very cheap. i am so happy i got to volunteer here and i hope to come back again soon. 💓💓

Dinara was with us for two seasons, and we wish she was back for a third, but she's off on other adventures! She is highly responsible and takes her volunteering seriously. During the time she was with us, she was an excellent team player - always keeping her eye not only on her responsibilities, but also on the whole project, the whole team. If something needed doing, she did it. If someone needed help, she offered. She was a pleasure to have around. Dinara speaks fluent English, Italian, and Russian which made her a terrific asset when our guests had questions or we needed to gather information from a written (in Italian) document. She is a terrific teacher - of both movement (yoga and pilates) and language - as she is both patient and very positive. She would often lead us in a 'class', getting people of all levels to participate comfortably. She knows her way around a computer and spreadsheets. As I said, we would have loved to have her back for a third season - so if she's offering to join you, take her up on it! She's an asset to any project or team.

My two weeks with Alta and Minjee were amazing. If you want to experience real life with Mongolian people, this is definitely the place to be! I got to sleep in a yurt, enjoy traditional cooking, and learn a lot thanks to them. If you like farm work, you will definitely enjoy it there. The views are beautiful, and they really took great care of me, always checking if I was doing well and making sure it wasn’t too much for me.

Had a great time volunteering with Dragana and her family! The farm is located in a beautiful village full of picturesque hills and mountains. You can go for a walk or hike in any direction: one road up the mountain (fantastic workout as well) starts just behind the house. Learned a lot from Dragana about plants, local culture. It was a pleasure to hang out with her and drink coffee in the mornings and discuss everything and anything. She is open-minded, energetic and pretty knowledgeable. And made delicious food, especially homemade bread and other baked local pastries :) Accommodation is very village and very comfy: had a heater for the cold nights, hot shower and my own separate bathroom. Had plenty of time to work on my laptop in the evenings. Thanks for having me!

Egen se destacó en la limpieza y el orden. Todo lo que se le pedía lo cumplía y mas. Hubiéramos deseado poder comunicarnos mas en nuestro idioma. Agradecemos toda la ayuda que nos brinda.

We had a very nice time with Adrien. He is kind, helpful, and so easy to be around! He enjoyed spending time in the garden and got along well with the other volunteers. Thank you, Adrien, we would be happy to host you again anytime!

Lou was a good help ready to do any tasks we had. She worked in the garden, did some cleaning, sign painting etc. She is a beautiful person with a calm energy. I enjoyed our conversations and having her around. I can fully recommend Lou to any hosts.

Holly is a very open friendly person She fits in in our community and family in a very short time It's a pity that's she only could stay a short time We love to have her back
