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!

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!

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.

We really enjoyed having Marie on the project for two months. She worked incredibly hard on site every single day and was always willing to jump in and help with anything that needed doing. She brought a really positive energy to the team and quickly became a great example for other volunteers. No matter how tough or busy things got, she never complained and always kept a good attitude. She was easy to live with, respectful, and just a genuinely lovely person to be around. We’re very grateful for all her help and would happily have her back anytime. Any host would be lucky to have her.

We had a beautiful experience with Anouk and Hugo. They are reliable and independent hard workers. They took care of the garden and our animals with love. Any task we gave them, has been reached great fully. They also are funny and smiling people, really nice to have around and co-live with. When they left, they cleaned carefully the accommodation and everything was tidy. Anouk also is a great chef and she always cooked great meals to Claudio while I (Elisa) was away. We have been really lucky to have them here and we highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for everything guys, we wish you the best and an amazing trip

Excellent Miguel ! Très sérieux dans son engagement et d'un contact particulièrement agréable et enrichissant. Il est curieux de tout en même temps que généreux dans ses compétences. Nous le recevrons à nouveau avec grand plaisir et le recommandons sans réserve. A bientôt Miguel :)

This place became one of the places I think of when I want to imagine a peaceful place. Since the first day Ladina and Sté received me with the arms open and made me feel like one more of the family. The place is very beautiful and you can enjoy a lot the nature in the surroundings. The tasks were pretty simple and easy. Basically I was taking care of the other family memebers: Ley, Grisha and the 3 chickens. Aside from that I was keeping the house in place, so maintaining the garden and inside the house clean. The days there passed so fast, even though I stay 2 weeks longer than agreed at first! When Sté and Ladina were around they took me to visit some places, give me many recomendations, help me improve my French and we played many board games. You can imagine... only good vibes! This place allowed to find myself again since you may be a lot of time on your own in such a quiet atmosphere. Not much more to say that you already know Sté and Ladina, thank you very much for everything, the experience was very enriching 🥰🩷

The farm is really big, and there is always something to do. We watered the plants, leveled the ground, painted the fence, and moved some plants to new places. Alex talked a lot about the plants, and we also had some interesting conversations about other things. His mother even gave us a small tour and told us about the interesting places to visit in the area.

Pat and John are the most lovely, badass and inspiring people living their off-grid dream. I had the privilege of spending some time with them on their beautiful and secluded land. it's an experience of a lifetime and one that I'd always remember. The day-to-day was always active with hands-on tasks and experiences. I spent time chopping firewood (after Pat and John took three trees down with the excavator); tending to the vegetable garden; helping out with fencing for the sheep paddock; spraying weeds and watering etc. During the evening we would have dinner together, watch the beautiful sunset while listening to the birds, share a drink and later gaze into the Milky Way. Coming from a corporate and big-city background, seeing and experiencing an active life off-grid with Pat and John was truly refreshing. I felt at home and was treated like a family member. We became good friends and been staying in touch ever since.

Sonia came to stay for a month but weren’t we happy that she stayed for another too, from the barren early spring – and even a day of snow – into the lush summer and a heat wave! In addition to the daily care of the animals, Sonia undertook many different tasks at the farm, from raking the yard and heroically mocking the horse paddock after winter (huge work!) to cleaning inside the house and preparing some delicious meals, among other things. She is super organizer, and the tack room in the stables totally transformed its appearance in her hands. She performed all the tasks in a very responsible and careful way. Sonia really cares for the welfare of the animals and knows her way around them– she even used some of her effective homeopathic skills while taking care of the horses, sheep and our dog. It is fair to say that Sonia got the full package of farm life with happy and not-so-happy events, and she provided valuable assistance in lambing too. Sonia is a lovely, interesting, smart and humorous person, who is curious for life and has no prejudices trying out new things. In her company one will never get bored! She is very social and bubbling on the one hand but also needs her dose of space and calm on the other. We shared many fun and cozy moments over dinners, on horse rides, in sauna, at the lake, in front of the television, in the company of animals or just chatting away on the car rides. It was a real pleasure to get to know Sonia – we wish her all the best things in her life until we’ll meet again!

These two quiet, gentle women were delightful company, helpful around the house and willing to try things they hadn't done before. We spent some time sight-seeing in the Southern Highlands and NSW South Coast together, which I would not have done without them. I was most pleased and grateful to complete a project to help store my big jigsaw puzzle collection. We constructed shelves from cement blocks and planks of pine wood from the hardware store. Their youthful strength and good humour saw the job done in no time.

We stayed for few days, less than 1 week at Lorraine's place and it was lovely. We had a great experience turning their old chicken place into a garden and cook one dinner for them. Lorraine and Warwick were nice people and it was a pleasure to help them to prepare that garden for next season ! We also learnt a lot. Also we lived in the big house they also rent when there no workaways, so we had our total privacy. Lorraine cooked us wonderful kiwi dinners ! Nice experience, go help them

Paula, Dani e India sono una famiglia davvero gentile, premurosa e disponibile ! Fin dal primo giorno ci hanno invitati ad comportarci come fosse casa nostra, hanno una casa molto grande piena di lavori da realizzare ! Quindi hai anche la possibilità di scegliere ciò che fa per te :) Al pomeriggio ci siamo rilassati nella loro piscina e nel loro enorme giardino verde 🌿 Abbiamo potuto parcheggiare il camper giusto davanti alla casa e avevamo anche la possibilità di riempirci l’acqua molto facilmente La città dispone di supermercati , farmacia e di molti bar, la comunità è abbastanza grande Ci hanno aiutati a trovare posti dove andare a farci il bagno e tanto altro! Sarà un vero piacere vivere con loro ! E speriamo di rincontrarli presto!

I had really nice time in Ashram, food is amazing and people are very nice and kind. You can get a bike and go around, forest path is very nice to go or some lakes around. You also get a view what is ashram about, what life style they are living. here you can get a spiritual direction, that our life is to much about materialism and we should be more conected with our spiritual self. Recommend for people who did get lost from their life directions.

We loved hosting Lucy who is a really interested and kind person. A delight to have here and she was keen to tackle any task asked of her. We wish her all the best. Thank you

My 3 week experience with Louisa and Stuart on the farm was unforgettable. It’s such a beautiful part of France, I felt welcome from the minute I arrived - the food, the music and the conversation made it a relaxing and satisfying experience every single day. I enjoyed every task, from weeding the extensive gardens, planting vegetables, cooking some meals, even hanging out the washing was rewarding! And my work was always positively acknowledged. I was able to explore the beautiful nearby towns thanks to Louisa and Stuart’s kindness in driving me on my days off. I learnt so much about food and cooking and was privileged to help in the kitchen and with event catering. Such a wonderful and supportive team environment. I will carry lasting memories of my time here. Thank you so much Louisa and Stuart for your kindness, support and generosity. I hope to come back again.

Naghia, is a hard worker and a lovely person to have around, she likes her privacy as well. When you give her a job concider it done! Good and honest communication. thanks you for all your help, hope all is good?

What Qing Wei (Jan) lacked with previous animal experience, she quickly made up with an eagerness to learn and a desire to experience new things. And my other volunteers and I experienced new things as well – Jan was always highly entertaining and at times hilarious. Jan really was a lot of fun to have around. She made friendships easily and worked well in our team/family environment. But Jan was also serious about her tasks and was responsible and loving to our animals. Even through a period of illness during her stay, Jan soldiered on with her chores, with animal care, and she absolutely excelled in the kitchen to produce amazing group meals that became favourite dishes for many of the other volunteers, and myself. Jan was kind enough to source special Asian ingredients on her days off in Melbourne, and she did way more than her fair share of the cooking. I enjoyed Jan’s company (and meals!) and I look forward to her return one day.

Tarn and Rebecca were absolute gems! They came to help us with our new glamping association and we couldn't have asked for better volunteers. They were incredibly helpful, committed, friendly, and respectful throughout their stay. It was a real pleasure having them with us here in Nemi. When they weren't helping out, they made the most of the area—exploring Nemi and Genzano, swimming in the lake, going on hikes, and relaxing in our garden enjoying the views. They are just perfect workawayers, and I highly recommend them to any host. Thank you both so much for everything, and I truly hope our paths cross again someday!
