Arda and Nazan welcomed me with great kindness and warmth from the very beginning. The land is vast and beautiful, surrounded by stunning scenery, with fresh, clean air and delicious water. In the separate cabin, I was greeted by two adorable cats, Pamuk and Yoda. They slept with me at night, keeping me warm and even warming up the bed, which made me feel very happy and comfortable. Although the cats go outside, they are very clean and clearly well cared for. The dogs, Moki and Jaki, were also wonderful. While protecting their owners, they warmly welcomed me as well. They are very smart, gentle, and friendly. During my stay, I helped with pruning young olive trees and maintaining the area around the cabin. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to experience such meaningful work and spend time in nature. They also took me to Kaş several times, where I could enjoy the beautiful sea and the charm of this small town, just as I had imagined. Arda and Nazan are truly warm, fun, and caring people. I would definitely love to come back again, and I am really looking forward to seeing them again in the future:)

Fiona was an amazing volunteer—always kind, positive, and genuinely helpful on the farm. A true 100% certified mountain warrior. I wish her a beautiful journey through South America, filled with learning, joy, and great encounters.

What an amazing experience it was! I stayed with Vincenzo and Chiara for three full weeks, and I had the most wonderful time. From the very first day, I felt welcomed and comfortable with both of them, as they did everything they could to make me feel at ease. The work is very easy and is mostly in the morning, taking care of the animals, with a bit in the afternoon or early evening. Everything you need for the work is provided, even for rainy days: boots, gloves, and comfy clothes. I still had plenty of time to explore the surroundings, Lecce, Trepuzzi, and Ostuni, and to relax and enjoy some time on my own. I could use their bike, which was very useful for getting around. Chiara and Vincenzo are two wonderful people to be around. They shared their meals with me, making me disover the amazing Salento cuisine and a variety of italian TV programs, introduced me to their friends and families, took me to vegan restaurants, and even to the sea. As a vegan, it was inspiring to exchange with other vegans and heartening to see people with such an amazing love for animals, treating them as equals. This experience will stay with me for a very long time. I will miss every part of it, and I hope I will be back one day (maybe with a car and a driving licence…). Thank you to Chiara and Vincenzo for their hospitality and this wonderful project, which I hope will grow to be even more amazing than it already is!

I had such a great and relaxing time at Emily's farm. I stayed for 5 days and my work included things like cleaning the chicken house, some gardening or cleaning up the barn. She showed me everything and was there if I had questions. She is a very open person who you can have great conversations with! Also her meals were so good :)

I stayed with Alex and Holger for a month, and it was the best workaway experience ever! I had such an amazing time getting to know them and making friends. They are very funny, joyful, and kind people to be around, and they really made me feel like part of the family. They are very open-minded, and it was truly a delight to have conversations with them. During the month I spent with them, the other Workwayers and I created a compost area, removed wallpaper, organized a shed, and raked leaves. Working on their property brought me much joy, as I could see the vision they have for their farm. Every day we worked hard, ate amazing food, and spent quality time with Alexa and Holger! They are such positive people, and I learned so much about them and about Germany. We had amazing conversations and an excellent cultural exchange that has left me with the desire to visit Germany again! I highly recommend them as hosts if you are looking for a Workaway experience that focuses on the finer things in life! Alexa and Holger made me feel like family, and I will never forget them - I miss you guys already!

Nils is such an extraordinary person: I have rarely met anyone who can communicate so non-violently and thus resolve any difficult situation. He is so mindful that you learn from him to be grateful for the good things and not to attach too much importance to the bad. Nils has a big heart for people and animals, and is especially considerate to those who are not doing so well. For me as a female host it was important that Nils is not a macho man, he always communicated respectfully and is one of those men who also cleans the kitchen... Nils really likes to help with all kinds of work, provided the task is clear and he is given good instructions. And last but not least: Nils loves very large portions of food ;-)

I was totally happy and satisfied with my four weeks at Petra´s and Georg´s place. I felt myself as a castle gardener. Destroying gardener. It was necessary to cut all plants and bushes in the end of the season and to prepare them for new spring. I did not want to cut the flowers but finally I did it. I felt there as a member of the family, I loved spending time talking to them and to be with them. Petra and Georg were very helpful with getting me to the airport when I needed it. I could use the Georg´s wonderful car to go for walks with Knut. Knut and Moska (a new young cat) were excellent. They both love people:) Accommodation in their summer house was very, very comfortable. I had my own kitchen and bathroom and usually I preperared food for myself but sometimes we ate together. After time which I spent with them I travelled to Faial and Pico and came back to stay more three nights before flying back home. I felt freedom in all my decisions, when and how much I want to work. It was my fifth workaway experience and if you like to spend a lot of time outside in nature, I recommend it to you. And I am not a student, I am a retired active person and I hope I will have more such wonderful experience in future. Petra and Georg., thank you very much:)

hard to summarize how wonderful our time was with avril, alex, and their girls. from the very first day, they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. they are incredibly organized and communicative, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. they were also so thoughtful and generous in making sure we felt truly settled and at home. and aelis and alika are truly delightful to spend time with- sweet, funny, and such a joy to be around. beyond the work, they’re just a genuinely fun, kind, warm, and beautiful family to spend time with. we shared great conversations, lots of laughs, and meaningful moments, and truly enjoyed being part of their daily life, even for a short time. we feel really grateful to have crossed paths with them and would absolutely recommend them to any workawayer. we can’t wait to see them again 🤍

I had an amazing time in Orangeville. They're such a lovely familiy and made it possible, that I got the chance to try new things like Cross Country Skiing, Ice Skating and even driving a snowmobile. I also had a lot of fun with Adela while sleigh riding, playing domino or reading a story to her. Both Adlena and Veela are adorable and got used to me so quickly. The tasks werent really hard, I cleaned the cabinets and the baseboards in the kitchen and painted them afterwards. I did also some window cleaning and cooked a meal one time. They never pressured me, I could always pick what and when I wanted to work. They were also really thoughtful when i got sick one day. I loved the neighborhood and the nice little town especially with all the snow. It was literally perfect for the pre-christmas season, we made cookies, roasted marshmallows by the fireplace and sang christmas songs together such as Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingeling :) I really appreciate everything they did for me, I had a wonderful time.

Konatsu (Kona) was a wonderful guest and an absolute pleasure to host. She was kind, curious, and very communicative, always making an effort to connect and engage thoughtfully. She was also extremely considerate, accommodating, and respectful of our family’s needs and shared spaces. Beyond being a wonderful guest, she was also a lovely presence: engaging, eager to learn, and genuinely interested in cultural exchange. We shared many meaningful conversations, meals, and experiences together, and time with her always felt easy and enjoyable. Konatsu is reliable, warm-hearted, and truly easy to host. I would happily recommend her to any host and would welcome her back anytime.

Sonia and Levent are fantastic people! We really enjoyed the time we spent with them and, of course, with the cats. They are very friendly and open, and communication between us was excellent. The stay itself was very comfortable. It was our first time on Workaway, and we are very satisfied! We recommend it if you want to feel like at home :)

We were supposed to stay here for about ten days, but it ended up being 20! We had so much fun, worked, and met some amazing people! Georgio is really kind and lets you decide when to work and what to do! The food is truly delicious, and Amalia is an excellent cook! (Giorgio too! ajajaj) You live in the middle of the jungle but with all the comforts, and the nearby town is very convenient for getting to Tulum and Playa del Carmen whenever you want! A truly wonderful memory! Thanks for everything! To Geraldine, Georgio, Amalia, Antony, but above all Ladju e Kaju!!!

Waking up early to participate in the morning yoga classes, with positive and good energy, and always interested in permaculture topics and learning new things with curiosity. Highly recommended to host them! Abrazos grandes — and you are always welcome again!

Camille and Erika are truly wonderful people, incredibly kind, fun, and very easy-going. From the very first day, they brought a great energy into our home. Their lovely dog Milo immediately bonded with our youngest daughter, and was very easy to live with. They supported us with two very different tasks. First, they helped paint the walls of a house, and they exceeded all our expectations. They were extremely efficient, hard-working, well organized, and always proactive. We could fully trust them! Later on, they also spent time taking care of our two daughters, who instantly adopted them. Camille and Erika were caring, attentive, and playful, and our girls felt comfortable and happy with them right away. Beyond the help, we shared many meaningful and interesting conversations and truly enjoyed spending time together. We would be delighted to welcome them back anytime and to see them again in the future. We feel very grateful and lucky to have crossed paths with them.

Giorgia stayed with us for a month and we were very happy to have her here. She is a great person, always asking if we need help, calm and responsible, I can rely on and totally trust her for taking care of my kids. From reading, creative play and always find a good way to interact with our 5yo daughter. She is also a great cooker and an authentic person. Thank you so much for your help!

Mustafa stayed in our farmhouse for two months and was a great help where ever he was needed. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay there during the whole period of time he was there, but he was also great help in accepting deliveries for the house needed by the workers, still doing renovation work. Mustafa gave a helping hand when ever he was asked for assistance. He enjoyed making fire in the stove so we could do the cooking together. He also made sure there was always enough wood for the fire which had to be brought in from the wood shelter. My two dogs adore Mustafa and they will be very sad next time we arrive in Tirol and he will not be there. To watch him play with them outside was absolutely touching. Sometimes it was not easy to find the shoes Jinglebella had taken out into the snow. Anyway, we wish Mustafa all the best for finding an appropriate job and we hope to see him again once he is around.

My stay with this great family was a very good one! They are friendly and don’t hesitate to bring you into their lives, making you feel like a real member of the family. The work was clear from the start: helping on the farm in any way you can. Radu was a great teacher in renovation and construction. He always tried to explain why we were doing each task and what the final result would be. I learned a lot from him. The children were, of course, full of life and energy, and I had a lot of fun playing with them. Lucie was very sweet; she always invited me to join them for family outings and did her best to make me feel at home. In summary, it was a Workaway experience that is a true example of great cooperation.

At Pure’s farm, we spent one of the best weeks of our entire trip. He has created a wonderful place where you build special connections with people from all over the world, learn something new every day, and stay in close contact with unspoiled nature. Pure is carrying forward a beautiful project, and we are happy to have contributed, even if only in a small way. We loved being there so much that, like many other volunteers, we’ll try to come back! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — thank you again for everything!
