Having Steffi stay with me was an absolute joy! Not only is she a wonderful human, full of life and energy and amazing smiles, but she also works her butt off! She will see jobs that need doing and just get on with them as well as any other tasks you ask of her. She slotted seamlessly into my crazy life and I honestly can't recommend her enough to other hosts. It was very sad to see her go. I feel like I've added another little sister to my family and have made a lifelong friend but will seriously miss having her here. I really hope she comes back many times!

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!

Yohana is just great. I'm impressed about how she managed to do all what she does. Malang is beautiful and she and her family are just improving the experience. The classes, the tours, the food and the company were perfect. Really happy about this experience. I would love to say even more nice things because they deserve it. Hug you from afar Yohana!!

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.

My stay at this place was absolutely awesome and truly a highlight of my trip! This place is completely magical. For two weeks I had the chance to disconnect, live close with nature and work alongside amazing people. For the first five days we had guests around, which kept us busy with hospitality tasks. Even though there were no guests for the remaining days, we filled the time with other meaningful tasks. While there were definitely daily routines that needed to be done, I loved that we could manage our tasks independently. Ron and Val are wonderful people, and I can highly recommend this Workaway to anyone! You definitely need to be prepared for the fact that you are living in the jungle. The living conditions can be a bit rustic at times, but for me, that was honestly an amazing and life-changing experience. I learned so much and truly fell in love with that place. Thank you for everything! (:

We spent 5 weeks at Jo and Mel's place, taking care of the chooks and dogs, weeding a little and most of all helping with the finish of their new barn. It was good learning useful construction tips with their builders Lee and Harry, walking up to Mount Nebo and to Greene's Falls, glancing at a Bora Ring nearby, relaxing by the pool when it's hot after work, eating dinner and chatting with Jo and Mel almost everyday and so many other good little things. We feel so lucky they've been our very first and so great hosts in Australia, we are so grateful! Their place and themselves are so lovely we can't do anything but recommend them! Have a great time there ✨️ Theo and Laura

Linda and Bernie are two of the most hardworking and trustworthy people I've ever met. Their standards for love, care, and attention are beyond what I've ever imagined. Especially when it comes to helping, maintaining, and making sure all parts are covered. They both have taught me so many life values and I think of them as a second family to go back to. There are more than what words can say to tell someone what kind of hearts these people have. (Hint: They're very loving) I stayed in a comfortable private room with a bathroom attached! The work was very reasonable, lots of good food and smiles and joy to be shared. I learned how to do many, many things I haven't before which at first felt bewildering but now feel more manageable. Lots of birds, dogs, chickens, and the few puppies that are finding new homes now! The birds that would land on my shoulders or sit on my fingers were nice, and there shall also be lots of love from the dogs too. I believe it's an amazing thing that they're doing here, and in this big world, there's no one like Linda and Bernie. I would highly highly recommend staying here, to learn, to experience, to discover more of what you like, and to feel freer in the space you're in. 1000/10 and would definitely love to come again 💚 Much love, Kevin

James was an incredible host for us. We stayed one week in his pretty house with him and his cute cat Bandit 🥰. He saved us as we were lost arriving in Canada. James is so kind and generous, we had great discussions and laugh together. We cleaned up his house a little bit and enjoyed cooking french recipes for him. He helped us a lot giving us many informations about the region. We went together doing a night ride around the city and also offered us a big great breakfast in his favourite place. We had the chance to discover his working place which is so coool!!! Thanks again for everything 🙏

First of all, I want to say that Alain and Yovana are among the sweetest people I have ever met. Even before I arrived at Tierra Encanta, they took care of every detail, helping me understand where to go, what time to leave, and how to get there. From the very first moment I arrived, they did everything they could to make me feel at home, and we quickly became comfortable with each other. I stayed there for a total of three weeks and had some truly unforgettable experiences with them. We did everything together, from milking cows and feeding chickens to helping lay the foundation of the new earth house they are building. We cooked incredible meals, and every meal felt like a celebration. We worked, ate, drank, danced, laughed, played games, and shared so many wonderful moments together. Thank you so much for making me feel at home. I hope to see you again soon.

Lola was amazing. Very talented and kind with the horses. Every task she did as done well and timely. She learnt the feeding routine quickly and had great common sense. I could rely on her with dong tasks and seeing when things needed doing too. We would have her back any day.

Moss (Punlop) is nice, calm, and fun to be around. He has been out and about with us meeting our friends. We all enjoyed his company. During his stay, Moss chopped and moved firewoods for us. He took initiatives to help clean around the house. And he has always made himself available to help with cooking. He’s even made us delicious Thai Laab. We really appreciate having him around. And looking forward to welcoming him back.

It was so nice to have Milo in our home! He is very kind and good with everyone around. Especially our boys had a good time with him and loved spending time with him. He was very helpful, kind and patient, and we would love if he could come back one day to visit us

We had an absolutely wonderful time hosting Nanna and Laura. They are delightful women to have around. They were great with the children, fun, very productive and efficient and super helpful. They were willing to give anything a go and worked hard. Thank you so much for everything ladies. We will miss you 🤗🧡. We hope you can pop back in for a night sometime during the rest of your travels. We wish you all the best exploring Australia.

Tee and Paul arrived full of warmth, interesting stories and energy. The first shared meal was a long one as we enjoyed getting to know each other. On Monday they went straight into work, keen and thorough. They were ready to take on anything. Already at the end of day one, lots of work was completed at a high standard. Unfortunately Tee had a mishap on their evening walk and had to spend the next 10 days in hospital. Paul worked hard during those days before visiting her there every day. Although the workaway arrangement did not work out the way we all had anticipated, we enjoyed Paul and Tee as people and also appreciated very much the work commitment and quality of both of them.

Sarah was an absolute pleasure to host. She is capable and has a knowledge far beyond her years. We wish her well in her life's journey and know it will take her to exciting and memorable experiences.

Wow, where can we even start! We had the most amazing time volunteering with Claudia and Guido, it was truly unforgettable. During our time, we helped moving and cutting logs from the beautiful surrounding forest and some tasks around the garden. Claudia is such an amazing cook, we learnt so much about the Italian cuisine and vegetarian food, it was amazing! Their house and guest house are situated within a beautiful forested area south of Bologna, and they shared all the local foods with us. We felt so at home and so relaxed, they truly gave us the best experience possible, and gave lots of breaks and time off for us to chillax in the sun and around the pool! We cannot recommend them enough, we miss it so much already and wish we could have stayed longer. And of course, Sissi the cat deserves a special mention, she is adorable and will play with you all the time!

Darragh was an easy guest to have living with us, we enjoyed his company and he worked hard. He was happy to do hard physical work clearing scrub for planting, even in the mud and rain, and with no complaint. He loved planting and put in a lot of work to get a bunch of our natives in the ground. We would be happy to have him back.

We had a very special and memorable exchange experience with John and Penny. They made us feel very welcome from the moment we met. They were helpful with providing information and suggestions for local attractions here in Sechelt, BC and Canada in general. But they also made time to take us on some delightful outings as well. They are such a beautiful, gentle, caring and welcoming couple so it was an absolute pleasure to share time with them and give a helping hand when and where it was needed. John and Penny have created a gorgeous home, it is such a peaceful space both inside and out - it's a place you absolutely don't want to leave. It's enjoyable to be in the kitchen, sitting on the deck or pottering around in the garden. We particularly enjoyed our time sharing stories over a wonderful meal whilst taking in the amazing views. The view from the back deck is beyond words and we loved the relaxed pace each morning to just sit and take it in over a coffee. The absolute best start to the day! We feel as if we have made some truly wonderful friends and we just loved this opportunity to enjoy life in Sechelt with Penny and John. We'd highly recommend this workaway exchange experience and we hope we can come back one day! Thank you for the most special and memorable time in BC!

We had a short stay at Andrew and Siobhan's place but it was a really great time for us. They are lovely people, had a warm welcoming and nice exchange. We enjoyed working with Andrew and all our talks. We learnt a lot about gardening and kept a lot of ideas from the tidy garden they have in our mind for our home, because it's soooo beautiful! We had nice meals together. And the accommodation is just a five star place^^. That's was a sweet and comfortable stay for us. Thanks to us for their kindness.
