I spent three wonderful weeks staying with Karyn and Paul. They are truly kind and lovely. I enjoyed every moment I spent with them, as well as our conversations and recommendations about movies, TV shows, and music (Thanks for the private show!) They are both very involved in their local community and included me in their daily activities. Their property is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature. Whether it was gardening with Karyn, taking care of the animals (big hugs to Coco), working with Paul, or helping around the house (I hope the deck is ready for summer), I enjoyed every moment. Lund and the Sunshine Coast are wonderful places to visit. If you get a message from Karyn, don’t hesitate! This Workaway experience completely exceeded my expectations. If I ever return to the Sunshine Coast, I’ll definitely stay there again. Thank you for everything!

L’un de nos plus beaux volontariats. Sabrina et Philippe forment un couple qui respire le bonheur, la joie et l’amour ! Ce fut merveilleux de passer deux semaines avec eux dans leur petit monde à Bora Bora, cette île qu’ils aiment tant et qu’ils nous ont si bien partagée. Et croyez-nous, vous n’aurez plus envie de les quitter ! Ils mettent tout en place pour que la vie soit douce et agréable. En ce qui concerne le travail, ils font confiance, sont très arrangeants et nous laissent travailler en autonomie, ce qui nous a beaucoup plu ! La vie est rythmée par de grandes discussions, de super repas partagés très animés, des balades, des baignades dans la piscine, des jeux de cartes enflammés et beaucoup, beaucoup de rires ! Ce sont deux personnes très intéressantes et intéressées, incroyablement généreuses, et jamais à court d’histoires rocambolesques. Dans cet endroit, souvent très loin de chez nous, on s’est senties comme à la maison, presque en famille. La chambre dans laquelle nous avons été accueillies était très propre, avec un lit très confortable, ainsi qu’une salle de bain et des toilettes privées. Bref, le grand luxe ! Je vous souhaite d’avoir la chance de partager un volontariat avec eux, c’est vraiment un bonheur !

Sofia and Nora were incredibly hardworking and kind people! They helped us with a wide variety of tasks during their stay, and we were constantly amazed by how efficient and productive they were. Even when faced with jobs they had never done before, they took the initiative to research, think things through, and find a way to do them successfully. Working in the fields during the hot weather couldn't have been easy, but they tackled every task with enthusiasm—cutting grass, training vines, building tunnels, and much more. They completed tasks so quickly that we were constantly scrambling to find the next job for them to do! 😆 Thanks to their efforts, we were able to accomplish an incredible number of things during their stay, and we are truly grateful for all their help. We also had many events happening while they were here, which gave us the opportunity to share Japanese culture together. We enjoyed nagashi somen (flowing noodles), Japanese curry rice, okonomiyaki, and many other delicious experiences. It was wonderful to share these moments with them. And we have to give a special mention to Sophia—she graduated from pastry school and is an amazing pastry chef! During their stay, she treated us to homemade desserts such as chocolate mousse and panna cotta. They were absolutely delicious! Although they stayed for only two weeks, they made a huge difference and created many wonderful memories with us. We are so glad they came and spent this time here. We hope to see you both again someday! Next time, we'll come and visit you in Europe. 😊 Thank you so much for everything, and we wish you all the best on your future adventures! ❤️

I spent a wonderful week with Diane at the eco-lodge. My tasks included gardening, basic landscaping, cleaning and painting! The space is wonderful; I was doing yoga and meditation on the roof surrounded by the sounds of the forest. Everyone I met at the lodge was very welcoming and kind, it was great to speak to the different people that passed through. There is no Wi-Fi at the lodge so it’s best to come with a SIM card already. Avoid Digi cell because there is limited coverage. Diane's vegan meals were a nice change from the deep friend snacks I had been living off previously. All the best to Diane, Mark, Jodi and the project! I hope to come back in the future.

Sian & Mitchell came to stay and look after our dog while we took a well overdue vacation for two weeks. They arrived the day before so we could show them the house, land and for Cujo to get to know them and feel more at ease. It was great getting to know them and hearing about their adventures. They are a super nice and easygoing couple. We got pictures with updates and Cujo looked very happy with his new friends while we were away. They also watered our seedlings and plants which helped us get things into the garden early. Thank you again for taking care of our pooch and we wish you amazing adventures ahead!

I had the pleasure of hosting Jan and Vojta, two wonderful brothers who were friendly, cheerful, and always willing to help. They stopped by our place while traveling around Japan in their van. Despite the hot weather, they took on the challenge of building a large swing for our community and worked on it with great dedication. Through plenty of trial and error, they kept improving it day after day, and eventually completed the project! We were truly impressed by their persistence and hard work, and it was inspiring to watch their progress throughout their stay. During their time here, we had many events and gatherings, including several large communal meals. We shared and enjoyed a variety of Japanese food culture together, such as hand-rolled sushi, Japanese curry rice, and nagashi somen (flowing noodles). Thanks to their efforts, we now have a beautiful swing that will likely become one of the highlights of this place. It has already become a new symbol of our community and will surely be a relaxing spot for many future visitors. The children are already absolutely in love with it! 😊 Thank you both so much for the wonderful two weeks. We truly enjoyed having you here and hope our paths will cross again someday! Safe travels and all the best for your adventures.

Mi experiencia fue muy chimba. Estuve 2 semanas pero me quede unos dias mas porque el lugar es muy tranquilo y me senti como en casa. El pueblo es muy tranquilo y apacible para pasar una temporada. Luciana es genial como administradora y persona, ahi estuvo bueno compartie unos mates. Se extrañaba. La gente del hostal todos muy amables y cordiales. Las tareas no son dificiles nada mas que solo ser atento y responder con los turnos y ser responsable. Les deseo lo mejor y gracias por haberme recibido en Filandia.

Jossy, una persona super dulce y especial. Super alegre con muy buena energía. Se hizo amiga de los otros voluntarios rápidamente y con nuestros trabajadores. Super atenta, responsable y honesta nos ayudó en todo lo que ocupábamos. 100% recomendada Pura Vida!!!

Ellas eran 3 amigas muy lindas personas y nos ayudaron mucho en todo en el lodge, nos ayudaron a poner el Lodge en orden. Muy respetuosas y honestas muy linda la experiencia de tener 3 amigas juntas. 100% recomendadas. Pura vida

I loved having Luca here. He just stepped in and helped me with everything. He carried out tasks independently with so much initiative. He was happy to take on any task big or small. He worked excellently with animals of all sizes, including dogs, chickens, alpacas, camels, cows, sheep, pigs, donkeys and horses. He was fun, passionate, positive, so easy to be around and very action oriented. Every day he looked after the morning and evening shifts with the animals and also got stuck into the gardening, vacuuming and so many other chores. He is a team player with a clear focus on what needs to be done. I would highly recommend him to everyone! Plus he can cook up a storm!

I loved having Zoe here. From the day she arrived, her catch phrase was "do you need help". My favourite words! She just stepped in and helped me with everything. She carried out tasks independently with so much initiative. She was very happy to take on any task big or small. She worked excellently with animals of all sizes, including dogs, chickens, alpacas, camels, cows, sheep, pigs, donkeys and horses. She was fun, passionate, positive, so easy to be around and very action oriented. Every day she looked after the morning and evening shifts with the animals and also got stuck into the gardening, vacuuming and so many other chores. She is a team player with a clear focus on what needs to be done. I would highly recommend her to everyone! I asked her to move in! Would take her anyday!

Es una pareja muy amable muy atenta, muy dispuesta a atender a los huéspedes. Ellos nos estuvieron apoyando en la recepción y fue una gran ayuda 100% recomendados

I am so grateful I had the chance to spend some time in Rumi Wasi. It's for now my first and only volunteering experience and for sure my best.. :) The host JJ is most of all a sweet soul who is always interested in meeting new people and welcoming them in his part of jungle. He made me feel at ease directly and was really caring all the time I was there. It's above all a great human experience to stay there, learning to live as a community with everyone being a part of the family, and there's a lot of things to do and learn to help the hosts creating new spaces or maintaining them. (gardening, construction, painting...) The place is located close to Mocoa which permits to get accommodation easily, but most of all it is located near the Dantayaco river which is one of the most beautiful river I was able to see, with many places to discover... :) Thanks a lot to the hosts and the people there, I would be so happy to come back some day 🙏

Tener a Sarah en casa fue una sorpresa maravillosa. Es una chica muy conversadora, con un español excelente y un espíritu especial que contagia alegría a todos a su alrededor. Conectó rapidísimo con nosotros y también con Bruno, Ariel, Attina y nuestros gatitos. Es muy proactiva, siempre realiza sus tareas con una sonrisa y disfrutó muchísimo de estar tan cerca del mar en Punta Hermosa. Algo que valoramos un montón es su gran disposición y creatividad para buscar soluciones rápidas ante cualquier imprevisto. Ha sido un verdadero gusto conocerla y tenerla en casa. ¡La recomendamos al 100%!"

I stayed with Pris and Kilof for approximately 3 weeks. They are both very kind people. While there I stayed in both Tepoztlán and Mexico City. I will never forget the beauty of Mexico's landscape and culture! I primarily practiced English with Tristian. He is an charming kid with SO much energy and a fun personality. Please feel free to reach out to me if you having questions about my experience!

La llegada de Magnus ha sido mágica, no solo por su buena voluntad y su buena energía. Además el nos permitió hacer un viaje familiar y quedó cuidando nuestro espacio con mucho amor y cariño. En su estadía hicimos la cosecha de aceitunas para hacer aceite de olivas y nos ayudó con la bio-construccion dejando hermosa la fachada de la casa. Es una persona inteligente tanto como interesante y voluntariosa. Dulce con los niños. Estamos muy felices de que haya elegido venir a Finca y esperamos volver a encontrarnos para compartir buenos momentos

Working at Bart's was my first ever Workaway experience, and honestly I think I'm spoiled for future hosts. It's a gorgeous place, the work was fun and fair - I never felt patronised, and always was given freedom to do the work at a time and pace that suited me - and the people living on the farm are all wonderful. I'm so grateful to Bart and Findlay for hosting me, and for all the wonderful friends and family I met on my stay.

We really loved having Yusei to stay with us. He is so good playing with children and looking after animals. Yusei is polite and respectful and it was a pleasure to host him. We wish him well in his future adventures.

Do you like the idea of fully immersing yourself in a small slice of Honduran culture while giving your contribution to the local community? If so, don't look any further. Come prepared to be patient, intentional, proactive, and meet kindness, flexibility, and a relaxed teaching experience. About Mr. Ariel, the person coordinating the volunteer's work, I'll just confirm what many others wrote about him: he's the kindest and most easygoing and caring guy you'll meet in Honduras!! All in all, a great experience under so many points of view: the kids, the host, the coworkers, the work environment, even the accommodation. Bonus point: free delicious mangoes literally falling on your head everywhere you walk. The only downside worth mentioning is that, outside of school hours, there's not much to do in Cofradía, and the town is relatively isolated. However, this doesn't affect the chances to get to know a few locals and share food or drinks with them every now and then.
