Thank you Csabi/Rad for all your help! Rad is a very enthousiastic Workawayer that wants to help with everything and he can build you a real Yurt! or a yurt greenhouse for your garden, there are many years of doing this in his life. Rad is working on his English and has improved greatly while here but sometimes there were misunderstandings. We solved that by making sure he understood or repeated what was asked. Rad helped here clearing the garden, moving trees, preparing firewood and also with cooking super quick meals; his speciality as a former restaurant owner in Hungary. Good luck Csabi!

Dylan helped us a lot in our 10 days together. He accomplished everything we asked to him, in a joyful and energic way... We are very grateful for the time he spent with us. He is a good companion and an exceptional guy, we highly recommend him. Thank you Dylan and good luck for your protects! Hope to see you soon in Italy.

Lena was here for a month. She was helpfull and positive and we got quite a lot done! Thank you for staying with us and good luck with your travels! =)

It was very nice to have Lucas here with us! He was positive and nice to have around, and we got a lot done =) Thank you for staying and good luck with your travels!

Yvonne was a fantastic Workaway. She learned her tasks quickly and completed them efficiently, showing a reliable and caring work ethic during her stay. She has a gentle, easy going nature, got along really well with the rest of the team, and fit seamlessly into our sanctuary environment. We appreciate her contribution to the sanctuary and wish her all the best on her future travels!

Leonie was a pleasure to host. She was great with the horses and had fun on my Icelandic horse when i didn't have time to ride with her. Learned and performed tasks promptly and well. Would happily have her back. i wish her all the best with her travels Jennie

I stayed with Joanna and Antonio for about 2,5 weeks and what can I say, I wish I‘d stayed longer. Both of them were super welcoming and accommodating, always making sure I was comfortable, rested and well-fed (and the food was AMAZING). The tasks were fairly doable and always explained beforehand. Not to mention the incredible views you always had while doing them. Truly breathtaking. We also had some deep and fun conversations, played games or watched movies; it felt like there was an actual connection there rather than just the work. Getting around was easy, too — besides the amazing time I had on the mountain (which is great for hiking!), I was able (and encouraged) to explore the surrounding areas as well. I spent my birthday with this family as well and I’m so glad I did, it was the sweetest experience ever. I’m so grateful I got to go there and hope to be back sometime. Lots of love to you guys!!

I absolutely loved my time staying with Elise! Her property is truly gorgeous, and there's so much to explore in the surrounding area. There are lots of hikes and a creek for swimming just down the road. I cannot believe how much I learned while I was there. It was so much fun building with cob, if you're into or curious about natural building I highly recommend. Plus Elise's knowledge about gardening, cooking, and natural medicine is incredible. I always felt so welcomed and encouraged as a volunteer. Her energy is truly amazing, one of the kindest and most supportive people out there. If you want to learn and have a good time, I definitely recommend :)

It was pleasure to have Mr Andrew staying with us . He was always ready to help , in school as well at home . Students looked forward to his classes , learned and enjoyed his music lessons . Food he cooked was delicious. We wish him all the best and hope to see him in near future.

Thank you Roci for allowing me to do Workaway with you. You have a wonderful house and I enjoyed all the tasks, painting, gardening, cleaning the fish pond, etc. I had interesting conversations and cultural exchange with you. You have a lovely family. I would highly recommend spending time with Roci in Oaxaca to anyone interested in a family experience. Thanks again for my time in Oaxaca.

I couldn‘t imagine a better start in Canada! So far away from my family Rose & Tony gave me a home. Rose & Tony… …are uncomplicated, easy going, patient …took me to so many places / friends / activities …taught me so many things about bees (I really enjoyed to be part of the beekeeping and taking care of the bees. It’s really calming to watch the bees) …prepared always delicious food …provided cookies and ice cream for me :) The stay was just a joy for me. Can’t put in words, how grateful I am. The three weeks went by too fast. Thank you so much Rose & Tony! 🐈🐝

Jamie is a fantastic host, joyfull, creative, generous, full of ideas, projects and energy. I had a wonderfull time at her house, helping out a few hours a day and then cycling around, borrowing her kayak and paddeling in the bay down the street or joining her for a drive when she was going somewhere. She knows a lot about Haida Gwai, is involved in cultural life... What a pleasure. I can only recommend to visit her! Lucky you... I would go back anytime and plan a long stay. One month was definitly too short

Katarzyna & Tore stayed with us for just over a week. They were a pleasure to have at our place always willing to help. The going away dinner prepared by them was great. They are welcome back anytime. Regards Leon and Dalene

Ceda was an outstanding volunteer and an absolute pleasure to have as part of our team. She is incredibly hardworking and has a remarkable ability to take initiative. Once she sets her mind on a goal, nothing stands in her way. Ceda consistently approached every task with enthusiasm, determination, and a positive attitude. She is proactive, communicative, encouraging, and a true team player. Rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done, she actively looks for ways to contribute and improve projects. Her strong work ethic and willingness to help wherever needed made a lasting impact on our operation. Beyond her skills and dedication, Ceda brought positive energy to the team every day. She encouraged others, worked well with everyone, and helped create a supportive and enjoyable environment. We are extremely grateful for everything she contributed during her time with us and would welcome her back anytime. Any host or organization would be fortunate to have Ceda as part of their team.

Volunteering here near paradisical settings was a truly sacred gift. Sabine values community interaction & is an exceptionally passionate, & genuine person who is practical & yet provides a non-pressure, peaceful working environment. Taught to look after horses since childhood, she became an extremely skilled expert with high physical endurance, & an ability to observe & deeply understand the internal psychological state of her animals. Her one-of-a-kind horse rescue & sustainable farm sanctuary brings hope, justice, & healing to abused or traumatized animals. Sabine’s project sets a brilliant example for others to learn from, & she truly deserves all global support to ensure this secluded countryside farm refuge remains affordable & protected from toxic urban expansion or influences. ​During my stay, I was incredibly privileged to support her humanitarian & environmental missions. In fact, I always felt inspired to whole-heartedly contribute extra volunteer hours. I spent rewarding hours painting the off-grid farm structures/walls, handling extensive housework daily chores, & maintaining the gorgeous gardens by planting trees, potting, weeding, etc. Staying in the Perla Marina neighborhood—at a home with beautiful balcony views & a unique spacious atmosphere that seamlessly blends indoor urban living with nature—inspired me to cook daily delicious vegetarian meals or desserts, while sometimes using fresh garden ingredients. The amazing gatherings with her workers, neighbors, & other volunteers helped us form an unforgettable, culturally diverse community that I will always count on as part of my Dominican family. ​Being surrounded by her 9 dogs allowed me to build & learn new skills, while remembering to try to remain calm while disciplining them. Yet, sadly my absolute favorite adorable dog, Gina, will be especially missed the most! Gaining invaluable experience walking, feeding, & training some of her farm horses was a lifetime experience that brought me a better sense of confidence & ease to be around horses. Taking peaceful walks to the nearby beach to watch the gorgeous Caribbean waves hit the shores provided me with an intense, beautiful spiritual connection to nature that will stay with me forever! I sincerely hope the plant life I left behind will be looked after well so it continues to thrive & prosper. I wish I had more time to offer more support, but hopefully will be able to contribute again in the future, as I cannot recommend this volunteer opportunity enough.

My experience here has been amazing. It is an oasis of peace and introspection. The working hours were always respected, and I never had to work more than expected. The tasks varied depending on what was needed around the property The place itself feels magical, both the structure and its natural surroundings. I had a private bed in a section of the guesthouse, with access to a shared bathroom, all surrounded by fruit trees and beautiful flowers. Gwendal and Negar ( the hosts) are two very special people. I cannot express how grateful I am for everything we shared together. They were always attentive and made me feel at ease in every possible way, whether it was bringing fresh food from the garden or engaging in meaningful conversations that encouraged reflection and exchange of perspectives. An open and thoughtful way of communicating created a space for reflection and mutual understanding ❤️🙏 I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get to know themselves more deeply and is open to embrace a slower pace of life, fewer external inputs, and a strong connection with nature ✨

My experience with Mai was great, she's nice and mannered. She's easy-going, adventurous, independent, responsible and good with children. She's always welcome back to stay with us.

We only had a short 10 day stay at Jameelah's Hacienda but it was a wonderful experience. Jameelah is a very kind, helpful and friendly person, who made us feel right at home. It was really fun to learn about the area and it's history. The work we did was really rewarding. I was really excited to be able to help make some signs for the different plants and trees around the Hacienda. It was special to be asked to add my creativity and color to the space. My partner did the manual labour side of things; placing the signs, general yard work, maintaining some of the paths and painting & building benches. You start early since it gets hot in the afternoons so you have the rest of the time to yourself where you can explore the area. Jameelah kindly gave us a ride to Merida when she was going there so we were able to get more groceries. We had a really great experience and we hope to come back and visit someday. It will be fun to see how much this special place grows. Thank you Jameelah!

Putting the magic of the past 5 weeks into words is going to be challenging, but I'll give it a shot! When I was looking for volunteering projects, I wanted to learn more about how to be self-sufficient, connect deeply with nature and develop some skills in tending and caring for the land. I walked away from the opportunity with the above and so much more. This is truly a place for transformation and healing if you allow it to be. The love, tenderness and care that Benny has invested in building out the project is truly visible everywhere. Waking up everyday and being surrounded by the goats, chickens and peacocks is such a blessing, and being surrounded by such a beautiful collection of human beings to eat, work, play and connect with is just such a rare and powerful experience. My favourite experiences include: The team days - witnessing what is possible when a collective of humans come together with a core mission in mind is so deeply empowering and so much fun!!! I don't think I can name a better experience in life than enjoying home made curry together after a day of hard work in the sunshine. Learning how to milk a sheep (miss you Juliette!!) learning how to use a whipper snipper, chainsaw, chopping wood and planting and watching the growth of many a seedling come to life :) During my time here, we enjoyed many a stories around the fire, yoga classes, ecstatic dance, sharing circles, arts and crafts and (the highlight) perfect dinner nights! I have so much deep love and gratitude to Benny, Lea and Pancho (who have so much love and devotion to the farm and making the magic happen) Phillip, Lynne, Lari, Yannick, Natasha, Lorenzo , Gabriel and Luca. This is more than a Workaway opportunity. This is a an immersion into the joy and flow that life can be when we focus on land, nature animals and humanity :) If you want to rest in presence, grow as a human and connect deeply with other amazing humans... this is your place.

Franco stayed with us for a few weeks. He is very easy to get along with and did a huge amount of useful work for us, mainly digging channels for a new water mains as well as gibstopping, painting and he used his extensive handy-man skills to construct a wooden water meter cover. He is very thorough and conscientious and we can recommend him to any future host.
