Mel and Geoff were incredibly hospitable hosts who went out of their way to look after me during a short-notice stay. They provided plenty of excellent food, much of it harvested directly from their own garden, and made a point of introducing me to their family and friends, which I really loved. During my time at their house, I assisted with odd jobs like moving firewood and removing old fences. Mel and Geoff were very appreciative and were always on hand to assist and direct me. They were very generous with their time, with Geoff taking me for drives around the farm to see all their animals and Mel taking me on a nice walk to the Lakes Entrance. I also enjoyed walking their dog, Daisy, at sunset and seeing a koala when they took me for a picnic at the Stony Creek Trestle Bridge. They even provided a bike so I could cycle down to the beach and go for a walk in my free time. I had such a good time and can’t wait to visit again.

Lidya y Sarp fueron unas personas increíbles ,donde pasamos lindos momentos con distintos voluntarios formando amistades y reencuentros en otros países . La chacra se siente feliz de haberlos tenido y siempre estarán en nuestros corazones

Sharing with Kate has been very nice and confortable. She adapted very well to a child/mum rutine, always understanding. She is very talkable, and she had so many experiences to share, very interesting. Comunication was really good. Very tidy, responsible and respectful. And specially very helpful . Maia made a good match and she miss her now Good luck Kate!

Daria has been respectful & full of life. She is fun and actually loves what's she is doing. Talented in many ways and sure you will find yourself enjoy working with her. I wish her all the best in her future!!!

Dagmar ist ein wanderndes Lexikon für Wildkräuter und Pflanzen und teilte ihr Wissen und ihre eigene Erkenntnisse durch lebenslange Erfahrung gerne mit mir. Nicht nur in der Natur ist sie ein Wunder, sie hat mich wie zuhause fühlen lassen und bei der Aufgabenverteilung und Planung immer auf meine Bedürfnisse geachtet und darauf, dass jeder glücklich ist und sich wohl fühlt. Außerdem hat Dagmar mich verwöhnt mit Ihren tollen Kochkünsten und allem was dazu gehört um sich zuhause zu Fühlen. Das war meine erste Workaway Erfahrung und ich bin Dagmar zutiefst dankbar für Ihre Gastfreundschaft und offene Art von Kommunikation. Die Zeit war viel zu kurz und trotzdem hat sich eine sehr liebevolle und wertvolle Verbindung entwickelt. Lieben Dank Dagmar, du bist ganz besonders. Bis bald im Wald. 💚🌳

Hi! I stayed at Soo's house for a few days because I had to leave for work. Soo and Simon are good and kind, I did some gardening and tidying up around the house. Everything went good, thank you very much!

Sunny was an absolute pleasure to host. She came up with a thoughtful and clever idea to do a trial visit for house and pet sitting, which worked out perfectly since I needed to take a short trip at the time. From the start, she was reliable, independent, and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my home and my cats, and I returned to a clean, well-kept space. Sunny required very little beyond the basics (internet access, gate code, and house rules), which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. On top of that, she went above and beyond by raking the leaves in my backyard; such a kind and unexpected gesture. She is polite, respectful, and genuinely thoughtful. I would absolutely recommend Sunny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate Workaway volunteer.

Well I can confidently say that Tristan is one of the best Workawayers I’ve ever hosted! Such a lovely, well mannered young man who approached every task with genuine enthusiasm and a can do attitude. He worked on my garden for over 3 weeks, pruning, weeding, sweeping and some repairs. By the time he was done the garden was spic and span and once more a joy to wander. He’s a thoughtful, intentional human who is a delight to converse with while also being very respectful of my private spaces. He cooked his own meals and from time to time we shared a meal over convivial conversation. He even did the dishes! Honestly can recommend him to all future hosts with confidence. Tristan thank you so much for all your help. You’ll always be welcome here

I absolutely loved my time here. I highly recommend this Workaway to anyone who is looking for a community experience and interested in learning to create a sustainable lifestyle in harmony with nature. I felt very welcome and comfortable during my stay. I was there 3 weeks and would have stayed longer if I didn't have other travel plans. I enjoyed the work I did during my time here. We did a variety of tasks from painting, to pressure washing, general cleaning, planting, caring for the animals and helping out at the Saturday market etc. The mix of tasks kept things interesting and I learned lots of new skills during it. It was also nice to work with other volunteers. I liked that they would thoroughly explain each task before getting started so we knew exactly what to do. The group always had really clear communication which I very appreciated. Some of my highlights: THE FOOD. Every meal was incredibly delicious and nourishing! The in-depth conversations we’d get into after dinner. Group outings, cuddles with the pups and Pinto (the cat). And the ecstatic dance!! I did their workshops during my stay - the Seed to Seed Cycle and the Life Diet. These workshops offered valuable knowledge that I can use for the rest of my life. I left this Workaway taking with me so much more than I imagined - this experience was personally expansive and invaluable. Such an inspiring group of people and I think it’s beautiful the community they are building. Thanks Ruth, lysh and G :)

Excellent gardening skills

“Romane stayed with us for 8 days along with her two wonderful kids, and it was truly a lovely experience. She was always proactive, constantly asking what needed to be done next, and helped with everything from landscaping to household work. She also painted two beautiful benches in the cafeteria, adding her creative touch to the place. Her children were just as amazing—very helpful, always smiling, and full of positive energy. Together, they brought a really happy and lively vibe. We really enjoyed hosting them and would happily welcome them back anytime!” 😊

I stay a little bit more that one week at Johanna place and had a really great experience ! Johanna is a very kind and welcoming host, and she truly makes you feel like a guest rather than just a volunteer. The accommodation was extremely comfortable, private room, private bathroom, and a very peaceful environment overall. The place itself is beautiful, with a river running through the property, which makes it very calming and grounding. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking to slow down, rest, and take time for yourself (lots of very good books to read) ! During my stay, it was very quiet with not many guests, which I personally really appreciated. We shared healthy meals together and even spent some time exploring around, which made the experience feel very human and genuine. There are yoga classes (on Wednesday that you can join) and there is also a sauna, which was amazing to enjoy. The work was very fair and varied mostly cleaning and helping with whatever was needed at the time. It was not feeling like "work" but more like helping a friend ! I also had the chance to do a bit of painting, which was nice. Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially if you are looking for a peaceful, and restorative experience rather than a very social or busy environment

What a delightful couple to have for 2 weeks of 'not that exciting' work but they were always keen and up for everything. We would very much recommend Hannah and Simon as the perfect workaways.

I am very grateful to Rafael for his generosity and kindness. Walking with Guardian was always an experience — he has a very energetic personality :) It was one of those places that is not easy to leave. Thank you, Rafael, for your hospitality. I wish you all the best!

We VERY MUCH enjoyed getting to know Laura! She is a multi-talented woman who seems to be able to juggle many things. She took initiative when she saw things that needed to be done other than what was on the project list. She stayed busy and never seemed to be in a hurry to leave her tasks. She is so friendly and fun to be around. On her off time she often was on the road seeking new adventures and appreciated the spirit of this island. She shared with us avocados, mangoes and coconuts that some friend she met along the way gave to her. She gave us the courtesy of letting us know her whereabouts and return times when she was out somewhere. Laura fit in so well with our family, particularly Family Dinner and Game Nights. She was a great partner in the game of corn hole, and I think she may have won the game of Farkle a time or two (Family favorite). She accompanied Tim on a hike at the Volcano and both of us on an excursion to other parts of the island. I so enjoyed hearing about her culture and being able to review the German language with her. Our cats sure enjoyed her company as well. They often followed her around the land. She sometimes was seen bending over to pat a head. She was so very helpful with our chickens and caring for the many new chicks that were hatched while she was here. She said she now wants to get some chickens when she returns home to Austria. Laura is very thorough at cleaning and helped with some basic cleaning around our home more so on rainy days when she wasn’t on the land. That was so much help as due to an injury, I (Dottie) was not as able bodied to keep up. (Speaking of rainy days, before we had opportunity to talk about rainy day options, I found her out on the land working in the herb garden in a rain jacket while it was raining more than just misting or sprinkling. I asked her to come under cover to stay dry. To her, she simply was doing one of her tasks because that’s the kind of work ethic she has) When Laura departed for her next position on Maui, she left the apartment sparkling and in excellent order! Laura was so enjoyable to have here that we wished she could stay longer. We highly recommend this dynamic woman for future Workaway positions or other endeavors.

Estoy muy agradecida Hugo y Maria por la oportunidad de conocer Uruguay desde una perspectiva auténtica. El ambiente fue tranquilo y respetuoso, y las tareas claras y bien organizadas. También valoro mucho la oportunidad de practicar español y la paciencia que mostraron. María siempre compartía con gusto sus recetas (¡y tiene muchísimas!), lo cual hizo la experiencia aún más especial. Les deseo todo lo mejor.

We had a very memorable and enjoyable experience on the property with Senpo. He was very generous and taught us about his culture, we ate some delicious Taiwanese food and were got to do some really cool experiences like making pizza, soaking in the natural hot spring and a sunrise salutation. We were mostly working independently, weeding and clearing the property. Sometimes there were communication issues but we always worked it out.

Die ersten beiden Tage war noch ein anderer Volunteer da, das war super zum Eingewöhnen! José und Carolina sind sehr gute Gastgeber und achten darauf, dass es einem gut geht! Sie wohnen in einem sehr wohlhabenden Viertel, in dem man sich sehr sicher und behütet fühlt. Mir hat es an nichts gefehlt und die Arbeit ist gut angepasst an die Interessen und Stärken, die man hat! Auch von den Zeiten total in Ordnung und man kann sich selbst einteilen, wann man was macht:) Die beiden schlafen gerne länger, Frühstück gab es meist gegen 10:30Uhr, gerne gemeinsam. Wenn man jedoch lieber früher aufsteht, ist das auch gar kein Problem! José ist ein sehr humorvoller Mensch und Carolina ist sehr einfühlsam und musikinteressiert:) Es war meine allererste Workaway Erfahrung und ich war ab dem dritten Tag alleine für eine weitere Woche. Ich hätte wohl auch noch länger bleiben können. Vielen Dank:)

No me esperaba recibir a alguien como Romina: dispuesta a ayudar en todo y más. Fue un agrado tenerla aquí y poder compartir y aprender de ella. Fue tanto su aporte que ahora tengo comida para semanas en el congelador que Romina dejó preparada para que no tenga que cocinar o gastar de más... Increíble. Un lujo de voluntaria, infinitas gracias Romina!!

We think Yade and her friend Malina are one of our best Workawayers. Even though it was their first day to Asia and Japan in particular, they were so prepared and knowledgeable in navigating Japan and overall trip. We went to Universal Studios in Osaka, went to Kyoto where they got to try Japan traditional costume, go to Kanazawa Castle and exploring the maze of Tokyo. I think without them our trip will be completely different. We hope they will join us in our future trip and we will look for more Workawayers like them. Thank you Yade for joining our family.
