Augusta is a bright, energetic, and fun person to be around! Our two weeks with her were full of so many different experiences. During that time, we talked about many things, spent a lot of time together, and laughed a lot. We went out for vegan cake, she taught me knitting — she is truly amazing at it and has completed so many beautiful pieces — we went out for soba, visited a karaoke bar, processed a chicken together, made hand-rolled sushi, and even had an unagi party. The two weeks felt as if they flew by, but at the same time, they were so full and rich that it almost felt much longer. Of course, she also helped us with many tasks, such as farm work, cleaning the house, and painting benches. She is also very talented at drawing, so the benches are now decorated with many lovely illustrations that make us smile whenever we see them. She also wrote some of her favorite Japanese words on the benches, and every time we see them, we will think of her. We are so happy that we were able to spend such a fun and meaningful two weeks together. Let’s definitely meet again somewhere someday — next time in Copenhagen! Thank you so much for visiting our place. We are so grateful for all the time we shared with you!

Sam was amazing to help us with activities in the garden, with the animals and around the house! Such a lovely personality, very positive and fun to be around! We would absolutely recommend Sam :)

Dario and Sara's family are truly wonderful people—bright, friendly, sweet, hardworking, and a joy to be around! They were the very first family we hosted through Workaway. Since it was our first experience hosting a family, there may have been times when we could have been more considerate or better prepared. Even so, having the opportunity to host them was an absolute pleasure for us. It was a truly special experience, especially for our children, and one that we will always remember. Working outdoors in the summer heat could not have been easy, but they worked incredibly hard while also caring for their children. Throughout their stay, we always felt that they were looking out for us and thinking about how they could help. We are deeply grateful for both their hard work and their kindness. During their stay, we spent wonderful time together. We visited a park on our day off, enjoyed campfires and fireworks, and shared many memorable moments. There were also plenty of community events happening while they were here, so we often gathered around a large table with many people. We shared all kinds of food and cultural experiences, including nagashi somen (flowing noodles), hand-rolled sushi, Japanese curry rice, and Italian cuisine. We even had the chance to learn how to make fresh pasta from them, which was a fantastic experience! One of the most meaningful things we gained from spending time together was a renewed appreciation for the precious time we have with our children. As fellow parents, we shared many conversations, experiences, and perspectives, and those moments meant a great deal to us. We are truly grateful for this connection and friendship. We sincerely hope that our paths will cross again someday. We wish your children happiness as they grow, and we wish your family all the best for the future. Thank you for everything—we will always treasure the memories we made together.

Daniela et toute ta team sont super accueillants! Se sont des vrais passionnés pour les chiens et se fut un plaisir de leur venir en aide. Le travail est très facile et on s'attache très vite à tous ces petits chiens. Je recommande vivement

​I had a wonderful time staying here. Amir is pleasant and fun to be around, making me feel welcome from day one. It was a perfect immersion into a peaceful village life — I even got to attend local weddings and go hiking. I loved being surrounded by monkeys, monitor lizards, dogs, cats, birds, and beautiful butterflies. The local flora and fauna are simply incredible. I am so grateful for this unforgettable experience.

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 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.

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%!"
