The time with Sadie and Jade was a really happy time, they fitted from the beginning in the group with two other workawayers. As they both are young, interesting and interested women, we were never short of subjects to discuss. Much comparisons were made between the countries we live in and it was fun to share them over meals we cooked together. Both worked in the garden and around the house, and were always happy to help - lots of tasks and some serious window cleaning were done and we had to be flexible when the sun came out, it was quite cold and sometimes rainy and they adapted their schedules. I recommend the two friends who really got on very well and often did the tasks together - with a smile!

Thank you very much, Dani, for the time you spent with us and for helping us. Daniela is very helpful and communication went really well. Daniela helped us a lot in the garden and played nicely with the kids. Thanks for the good conversations. Now we have to solve the date puzzle every morning on our own, unfortunately without much success.

I had the absolute best time spending a week with Mark. His home was beautiful, tucked away in a beautiful village and the bedroom was perfect, plenty room and a nice decor. Mark cooked a hearty meal every night, and as someone who likes to eat a lot, I was never left hungry. I spent the week helping Mark with his boat which I really enjoyed, and he even took me out for a BBQ where we spent 4 hours on the water, with great food and lovely swimming. This was my first workaway, and I had the best time, and will definitely keep in touch with Mark.

Alasdair was a first time Workawayer, and one could not ask for a nicer and easy-to-interact with person. It was great having him in my home as well as all his very helpful work on my projects. Relatively new to DIY skills, Alasdair still kept up with me on all items we tackled, and even suggested solutions to problems I had not thought of. On the BBQ boat he laid down non-slip deck tape in a very orderly fashion after hand cleaning the deck. In the boat yard he finished the painting of the fishing boat, painted items on the sailboat, and varnished the spar. At home he helped greatly with fixing the plank floor in the kitchen, and always did a decent job with cleanup after meals. Alasdair enjoys conversation and is very friendly. He is also very sportive, and walked and climbed many of the local hiking trails. I highly recommend him.

Nina y Mahault son dos chicas encantadoras, estamos muy contentos de haberlas tenido con nosotros aquí dos semanas, nos ayudaron mucho y colaboraron en todo, siendo proactivas, cariñosas, respectuosas en todo momento y muy amables. Mi hija Lúa cada dia las nombra y se recuerda de ellas :) Gracias por compartir esta experiencia y darle amor a nuestra casita y a nosotros. Un abrazo grande chicas!

During these spring days I had a great experience of working with Krista and Vivi. They were both highly motivated in helping me with cleaning out the territory and being very helpful in keeping household. They took care of cat and give my kids great time of language exchange. Thank you, guys, have a great journey

Raimon is one of the most kind and interesting people I have ever met! He is so welcoming and immediately makes you feel like part of the family. I stayed with him and a few other workawayers for almost two weeks and my only regret is not staying longer. The area is perfect if you enjoy nature and the outdoors, with hiking trails very close by. Raimon knows the mountains very well and is happy to offer tips and advice on where to go and what to do in the area. He’s incredibly generous and always willing to help. Thanks again for an amazing experience Raimon! I will be back! :)

Staying with Alessandro and Manon (and Brioche) for 8 days. Their farm is located in the perfect spot for exploring the outdoors. There are trails *from their property* that lead to a system of great trails in the area. The night sky is filled with the most stars we've ever seen, definitely look up at night. Schedule was great. It gave us free time to explore the area and rest. We had breaks and afternoons off! They also let us take 2 days off during the 7day week. The accomodations were lovely. The little cabin was private and well insolated. There is a heater. There is an outdoor shower and toilet that were suitable for the whole time we were there. A highlight for us was spending meals with Alessandro and Manon. We talked with Manon about the importance of food and eating together in her life and culture, which made sharing meals extra special. It's optional, but we would definitely recommend getting to know these hosts over food - you might hear some fun stories 😉. We were lucky to contribute to all areas of their project. We did some carpentry, restoration, planting, forest maintenance, and harvesting. Alessandro is knowledgeable and loves to share if you're interested in permaculture or sustainable food. They taught us skills and techniques for all these activities. We felt safe the whole time and learned! Even though we literally picked cherries, the cherry on top is Brioche, the most affectionate companion ever! We would definitely recommend this host and would love to come back for longer!

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!

Wai Sum (Mivy) and Wataru were everything we look for in 'Workaway' guests - they were interesting and interested, helpful, self-motivated and did the jobs we gave them really well and without supervision. They took good care of our animals for a couple of days when we had to travel for work unexpectedly. We enjoyed sharing meals and conversation with them and hope we will stay in touch - would not hesitate to recommend them as guests

Anett stayed with us in June 2026, together with another Workawayer, Daphne from the Netherlands. We had a really lovely and fun time together on the farm. She is a bright, friendly and cheerful person with a very sunny character. Most of the time she was motivated, helpful and interested in the work. She especially enjoyed peeling spruce logs with a drawknife and did a great job with it. We also cooked regularly and peeled chestnuts together, which was a nice shared experience. Annette was attentive, clean and respectful in the house, and pleasant to have around. She sometimes needed some time for herself, and unfortunately she was not feeling so well towards the end, so she left earlier than planned. That was a pity, as we would have enjoyed spending more time with her. I wish Anett all the best for her next steps and hope she continues to go out, meet people and take on new adventures. She is a kind and thoughtful person, and I can warmly recommend her to other hosts.

Julia, Stephan, and their wonderful daughter Alicia kindly welcomed us into their beautiful home after we had a horrible experience with a previous host. They are kind people and we shared many interesting conversations. Julia has a beautiful soul, and Stephan’s deep knowledge of esoteric topics was fascinating to learn about. They even shared their love for yoga with us and took us kite surfing! They took us on trips around the area and gave us the opportunity to go to Barcelona, which we are really grateful for! Having access to their car and scooter also gave us the independence to explore the amazing area. Over our three weeks, we helped clear bushes for fire prevention, removed the bad grass, sprayed the plants with protective agent, took care of grocery shopping and prepared vegetarian meals for the whole family. However, we spent most of our time with Alicia. She is a bright, lovely child and we grew so fond of her. Together, we explored nature, read books, drew, did yoga cards, made salt dough to print her hand, searched or screamed for peacocks 🦚🤍, danced and laughed together. We also spoke to her in German to support her bilingual upbringing. One weekend, we even looked after four other children so the parents could have a break and enjoy their weekend together. We played in the pool and lots of board games. We especially bonded with Peter, a very imaginative child we won’t forget. We are incredibly grateful to this amazing family for the opportunities they gave us. We wish them and Alicia all the best and hope she grows up to discover the world in her own unique way!!

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!

We spent six weeks living with the family on the boat and had a great time with them! Fabrice and Amandine are a very friendly and welcoming couple and the children were eager and enthusiastic to play with us from day one, so we felt settled in to boat life very quickly. It was a nice opportunity to experience a unique lifestyle, see lots of beautiful places along the Greek coastline, and have lots of nice swims!

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.

Jonas has decided to stay with us for the foreseeable future. He is a sweet boy with lots of conversation and positive energy. Willing and useful he is able to give it a go and learns quickly. He is pretty tech savvy and helps us in a myriad of ways. We enjoy his humour and his quirky habits. Jonas is like a vine he gets himself well and truely wrapped up in your life and brings texture and interest with him.

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.

Thank you to Tracey and to Anna Lisa, her flatmate. I spent 10 days at their home and had a great experience. During my stay, I completed a variety of tasks independently, including cleaning horse equipment, bringing in firewood, cleaning windows, ironing, and clearing fallen leaves. Every morning, I also took care of the chickens by feeding them and making sure they had fresh water. The meals were always delicious and there was plenty of food. Tracey orders meal boxes similar to Hello Fresh, which was a great discovery for me. I also loved her omelette probably the second best omelette I've ever had, and I'm French! I really appreciated that Anna Lisa took the time to show me how to prepare a horse before riding, including how to put on the saddle and get everything ready. It was also very interesting to watch and learn about the training she does with her horse. I went to the pub quiz twice with Tracey, which was a lot of fun. I also went out to a bar with Anna Lisa and her boyfriend, Nick, which was a lovely evening. Also, I really appreciated that Tracey clearly told me my weekend was completely free. It allowed me to organise my time and make the most of my days off to explore the area. Thank you both for your kindness, hospitality and for making me feel welcome during my stay.

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
