Sheridan is a wonderful and very generous person. We spent 10 days at her place, and the time flew by. She is full of positive energy, always smiling and very interesting, with a busy and inspiring life. She is also very caring and an excellent cook. Even though our English wasn’t perfect, she always took the time to speak slowly, repeat things, and make sure we understood everything properly. For the work, we mainly walked little Louis and did some gardening in the yard. She is very flexible with schedules, which made it easy to do activities on the side. We were really happy to work there, as she was very relaxed and easy-going with us. Everything felt simple and in a very good atmosphere. The place is truly beautiful, just a few minutes from the beach and right next to a bus stop that makes it easy to travel around the island. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with very open-minded people. We even had the chance to be introduced to some of Sheridan’s friends. Thank you again for this unforgettable week. We wish you all the best for the future. This beautiful experience almost marked the end of our adventure in New Zealand, and we were very happy to spend one of our last weeks here with you. Warm regards, Camille and Thaddé

We stayed with Marie in Bounou for just under 2 weeks and got to spend some time with her, Charlie and her lovely cats. It was an incredible experience and we loved walking around the dunes, relaxing in her garden and cycling to the village of M’Hamid (with the bikes she provided). Marie is an extremely kind, friendly and adventurous woman who introduced us to her friends here and made sure we had all we needed throughout our stay. We hope to see her again soon. Merci beaucoup pour tout, Marie! ❤️

Two weeks (as planned) spent here was an unbeliveble experience of living in the large buddhist community - with greatly generous, kind and hospitable people. I could say a lot of great, unique experience of being part of the really big community, about great comrades, tasty food, beautiful places like Main Shrine, Sutra Repository, Buddha Land, Buddha Museum, Sleeping Buddha. The whole place is like a small town, really, it impressed by its size, variety, hidden places worth to explore and see. I've experienced a great onboarding (thank you Hui Zan and Boey), living conditions, interesting activities and work, and a lot of compassionate and understanding when e.g. I needed have a break, drink water, cuz climate is way different there than in my country (it was very hot and humid during my stay). Thank for this great experience, for the opportunity to be part of your community.

It was very nice to have Tim here as a Workawayer here at Hitra. Tim works very well. He is a perfectionist. Everything he does is perfect. It was a pleasure to watch him work, he is very creative and I learned a lot from him. This is how it should be where we can give each other new knowledge. He is sociable and we had a lot of fun together. Tim is good at cooking, he is a perfectionist there too. A great pleasure to have met him. Good luck going forward

It was very nice to have Marinus visit as a Worawayer here at Hitra. He was here for 5 weeks. He worked well both independently and together with me. He learns quickly and can handle different tools. He is sociable and we had many nice times together. He is recommended to other hosts.

This experience is great for volunteers that have the ability to get around the island without relying on the host. It’s certainly an volunteering experience that requires a level of intelligence and maturity, because of the circumstances of the exchange. Pantelli offers a weekly stipend for food, but it is sometimes difficult to cook in certain areas, just because of how limited the kitchen space might be. There is clean filtered water for everybody to drink from, which was amazing to have. Overall the experience was pleasant, people just need to be ready for certain expectations and need to have the willingness to meet those expectations or risk being overwhelmed by the outcome.

I stayed at Yo and Jennifer’s house for two weeks. They were very kind to me, so I worked hard to repay their kindness. What I mainly did was gardening, weeding, cooking, and cleaning. They let me cook Japanese dishes, and they said it was good, which made me happy. If you are a carpenter or have carpentry skills, you might be able to help them arrange their house. The room I stayed in was very nice and had a great view. You can also meet a lot of friendly animals! I don’t think I will ever forget you guys and these memories. Thank you so much!

amazing place where I spent 7 months — it became like home to me. Petra, you have a big and kind heart. Thank you for sharing a piece of your world with me. The work wasn't hard — it was interesting. Peace, quiet, nature — and I had plenty of free time. I learned a lot here and understood many things about myself. The cat and two dogs are very sweet, and also the six chickens — I really enjoyed spending time with them. This place will forever stay in my heart.

Jarah was so nice. she did a great job. was willing to help with anything and there was never a problem. she's positive and polite. No matter what, she did everything with a smile on her face

Carolina came with Jahra and they were amazing. It's a plesure having her. she did a great job. she is well spoken and polite and willing to help with anything.

I stayed here for 3 months. It was a very nice experience. Alice Springs is a lovely town with a diverse community. I was working in town so I didn’t spend much time at the hostel itself but I enjoyed it. The vibe is very nice. Not a party hostel, everybody is trying to be respectful of others. The work itself wasn’t complicated and Seb doesn’t lay impossible expectations on workawayers. The first room I stayed at wasn’t working for me but I was given an other room quickly. Skai also made the job way easier for everybody, thanks 😉. If you are looking for a chill place to stay for few months, I think it's a good choice !

Sofi and Rod are incredibly friendly, flexible, and reliable people. Communication was always clear and easy, which made everything run smoothly from the start. They worked very independently and handled tasks with a lot of responsibility and initiative. I really appreciated how proactive they were, finding solutions on their own and even doing their own research when needed. I was honestly impressed by how many things they managed to repair. They fixed my cabinet, repaired a bike, and brought several things back to life. Amazing skills to have around. They also kept the apartment clean and tidy at all times, which I truly appreciated. Sofi spent time with my daughter practicing handstands, which we will always remember. It was such a lovely connection. Another highlight was how well they handled and used the rescued food supplies, turning everything into wonderful meals for all of us. Managing that amount of rescued food is something I personally find challenging, so I was really impressed. Thank you for the wonderful time together. You have definitely set the bar high for future Workawayers. I am super happy with the whole experience. Let’s stay in touch 😊

Frederique is an incredibly generous and kind host. She always prepared delicious meals and genuinely cared about making my stay enjoyable and comfortable. We had such a wonderful time together, and she also introduced me to many fun local activities and events, which made my experience in Arles even more memorable. The work is easy to learn and not stressful, and the schedule is flexible—you can always discuss and arrange the working hours with her. I truly enjoyed my time here. I highly recommend staying with her!

It is hard to believe that Christine is already leaving. Having her here has been an absolute pleasure, and I genuinely feel sad to see her go. Christine is one of those rare people who brings sunshine wherever she goes. She is warm, respectful, easy to be around, and from the very beginning it felt as if she had been part of the place for a long time. I felt completely comfortable in her company, and sharing daily life and work with her was effortless. She is highly independent, proactive, and remarkably capable. Whatever task was at hand seemed to get done perfectly and in no time at all. During her stay, she helped with planting vegetables and flowers, watering the garden, building trellises for cucumbers, trimming hedges, using the weed-whacker, and even tackling an overgrown gravel driveway that many people would have gladly avoided. She approached every task with enthusiasm and confidence. Christine has a genuine green thumb and took special delight in caring for the young tomato plants, which received plenty of attention under her watch. Her care for plants and the garden was evident in everything she did. Beyond her excellent work ethic, Christine’s positive energy made a lasting impression. She is thoughtful, considerate, hardworking, and simply wonderful to have around. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any future host. Christine, you are welcome back here anytime, whether to help out, to visit, or simply to say hello and spend some time together. It was a joy having you here, and I hope our paths cross again.

Could not recommend these guys enough. Their profile and the other reviews are super accurate - they want nothing but for you to have a good time! We worked hard building a terrace but the hours and breaks were accordingly fair. Sam's cooking is outstanding, Teo is a mischievous delight, and Damien is a master digger operator with a lovely collaborative temperament. Their advice about hikes and activities in the surrounding areas made our trip. Thanks so much Sam and Damien!!

Maree (and Steven) are wonderful kind people. I came here as my 2nd workaway and had a really nice 2 weeks in busby. it felt like being home, Maree made sure of that, she is the best !!! the volunteering work I did was sewing stuffed animals for the Christmas shoebox project, which was so nice, being able to use my skills in actual volunteer work. I also helped out at the foodbank on Tuesday evening, which was a wonderful experience, amazing people and work they do! the general housekeeping stuff is easy as, the cats are sweet and cuddly, the bed is very comfy and it honestly just feels like home. Thank you Maree for having me!

This was by far one of the best experiences I have had abroad. The communication from the host Hani, and the school staff was out of this world. The atmosphere and environment where I was based had a culture I have never quite experienced before. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and always had smiles on their faces. If you are looking for your first workaway experience I would highly recommend this one. Thank you Hani and to the school for this wonderful opportunity. I will definitely be back very soon!

LUCA is a delightful young man who came to stay with us for a month. He has a huge smile and is not afraid to get out amongst things and search for the best experiences. Luca was happy to try new things and took his time to work out how to do it properly. He was really pleased with his achievements and we were too. LUCA helped us to rebuild an old path and to create new paths as well in our garden. This included digging out the area and laying granulated sand. He created wooden borders around our gardens for us. He helped us with cleaning out shelves in our shed and sorting things beautifully so that we could find things more successfully. He is so easy to get on with and a delight to have around. I thoroughly recommend him to any other Workaway hosts.

Gina is one of those people who feels lika long lost relative who has come home. We like Gina. We really want to see her again. To see her jump into the fjord wintertime was fantastic. All the best from us all! Gutes leben and all that

What an excellent time we had with Sayaka! Sayaka stayed with us a little over 2 weeks and she was a lovely person to host! She was so cheerful and super keen to get into everything! Her enthusiasm for everything made us really happy to know she was enjoying her stay and all the work, food and local outings! Sayaka was really great about doing a variety of work. Since Tasmania is heading into the darker, cold and soggy season, we had to abandon the garden at times for some indoor stuff. She was equally enthusiastic about craft projects and house cleaning. We enjoyed taking her on our local hiking and beach adventures and to the local community group in town to meet others. We will miss Sayaka, and hope we meet again!
