I stayed for two weeks at Luc and Sylvie's place and it was wonderful! I was looking for peace and quiet and that's exactly what i found at their home, alongside a beautiful, charming town where i enjoyed going for walks. Luc and Sylvie where always super friendly, caring and resourceful! and they made me feel at home right away! The town is very well connected and you will get more than enough time to get around and visit other places! I had a lovely time and can't recommend Luc and Sylvie's home enough! Thank you for having me!

We really appreciate and forward A massive THANK YOU to the incredible Marco from Italy who spent days with us in Gomba district supporting the children, staff and community in different ways. The kindness, smiles, hospitality to the kids was excellent. Thanks for participating in the making and cooking of Italian dish called gnocchi together with the children. We enjoyed every moment of your staying with us so much and we learned a lot from you. Your presence was a blessing to us as a foundation. Thanks very much and the door is open for you to come back.

Elisa was respectful and abide to to all house rules and job scope. She is easygoing and easy to spend time with. Understand the job well. Wishing her all the best at her journey !

Bernadette was a pleasure to have on our Team. She is friendly, efficient, smart, learns fast and very responsible. She was great working on a team and very helpful. We would definitely receive her back anytime to work with us which means we would highly recommend her to any other volunteer adventure. Thank you Bernadette for your time & great energy <3 Pura Vida Amy

I stayed with Jonas and Elisa's family for one month. It was a fantastic experience. They're both good at explaining clearly what is expected of the person doing the workaway. I felt that they were always respectful and if there was something they need to tell me, they told me in a polite away, Jonas also has an adult daughter who lives at home who's really friendly and willing to talk to the Workawayer. The work was from 3pm - 7:30pm and it was a mixture of housework (laundry, cleaning the floors and the furniture) and spending time with their son Angel. Angel has a great imagination, it was fun playing with him. We bonded over a love of Harry Potter. The accommodation is a small room in the basement, the basement has it's own door so the Workawayer has plenty of privacy. Jonas and Elisa live on the metro line which connects their neighbourhood to the beautiful Granada, where there's lots to see and do.

I had an amazing time staying with Pawel, Emma, Tadgh, and Conan. From the very first day, they made me feel welcome and part of the family. I really enjoyed helping around the house, whether it was small tasks, tidying up, or helping the kids with homework and games. Pawel and Emma were both really friendly and kind, and it was fun to see their passion for music, art, and history. Tadgh and Conan were full of energy and so much fun to play with soccer and board games ! I really appreciated their enthusiasm and the chance to practice my English with them. The house is in such a beautiful location near the Atlantic Way, and I loved exploring the area, especially the bay close to the house. The workaway experience was relaxed but interesting, and I learned a lot from helping around the house and with the children. Thank you so much Pawel and Emma for your hospitality, your trust, and the drives you offered. It was a great experience, and I hope to see you all again someday!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may not fully realize it, but your presence and friendship meant so much to me during a time when I was going through a lot mentally. Your kindness, positivity, and the way you’re always genuinely yourself helped me more than you’ll ever know. Just having you around made things feel lighter. You’re an incredibly hard-working person, always giving your best, and that dedication really shows in everything you do. On top of that, your positive attitude and constant laughter bring such good energy to the people around you. And honestly, your cooking is amazing — it comes straight from the heart, just like everything else you do. Anyone who gets the chance to have you as a friend or a helper is truly lucky. You’re the kind of person people never regret having in their life. Thank you for being you, and thank you for being my friend.

Filippo is top ranking workawayer. I am glad I hosted him for his first workaway and was lucky he has got all the qualities a host appreciate. Always positive, smily, good mood (after the first coffee of the day), on time or even earlier every day, adaptable, flexible, hard worker, motivated, no need for micro-management, almost no need for any management at all as he would perform his tasks as if it was for his own house. Fantastic social skills, he has all the qualities for good co-living. He was accompanying the dogs and me on our daily walk. He was nice to be around. I can't spot anything negative to say about him. I can really recommend him 100% in whatever workaway.

The Bates family are amazing hosts, and this place is without a doubt one of the best Workaway experiences I’ve had. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcome and part of their home. Their generosity and kindness really stand out. We shared couple of meals together, and they always made sure that we (I was there with another Workawayer) had plenty of food. They also provide a fully equipped apartment for volunteers, which makes the stay very comfortable and easy. This is a large and beautiful property, so there is always something to do. Tasks included helping in the garden, trimming plants as they grow, working with compost, cleaning paths, and general upkeep. Everything feels meaningful and connected to caring for the land. One of my favorite parts was working on a creative project repurposing old glass pieces they received from a nearby church. Together, we made a beautiful glass mosaic using an old window frame. It was a cool teamwork, and I really enjoyed being part of the process. We even started a second, smaller mosaic project that we didn’t have enough time to finish, but it’s now waiting for them to complete. Beyond the work, the environment and people make this place super special. Jenn also offered a yoga class and a sound bath, which was an incredible experience. It was my first sound bath, and the sensation is hard to describe, deeply relaxing and very powerful. I highly recommend the place to anyone looking for an amazing place, kind and inspiring people, and a beautiful natural environment. An unforgettable experience for sure! 🌿✨

These were wonderful weeks. Paco's project is truly noble and necessary for the benefit of the people. Working and living with them, I learned a lot, both in Spanish and through practical experience. Living with them during the winter was an enriching experience that allowed me to reconnect with nature and its beauty. The place is magnificent and full of possibilities and things to discover.

Silvana hosted me for a few days in exchange for some crafts around her house. She is very flexible and accomodating, trusting and with a sense of humor. I really enjoyed my time there :^) The room she offers is very confortable and feels a little bit like a mountain chalet. The location is perfect, on the edge of Santa Cruz, in a cute neighborhood full of cats and close to a supermarket. I would gladly come back Thank you Silvana !

Jean worked at my place for a few days, and it was a very positive experience. He is flexible and reliable, and he siliconed my bathroom and installed a mosquito net in the window. Everything looked perfect afterward, and he showed strong attention to detail. On a personal level, he is easy-going, attentive, and pleasant to live with. Communication was smooth, and he was always open to feedback. I would recommend him to everyone! 🙂

Arthur was very excellent competent in his work skills. He managed well without any support from me. We had a good communication and things was going well between us. He is very strong physically and managed even challenging labour. We had very interesting conversations and I really enjoyed his stay here. I hope he will be coming back one day…

We had the chance to stay at Ashok’s coffee farm for one week. The farm and the house are located on the hills of Pokhara, offering an amazing view over the mountains and the city. Seeing everything from above was truly beautiful and peaceful. We worked in the mornings, taking care of the coffee plants with Ashok and the other volunteers. The work was interesting and well organized, and Ashok always took the time to explain and share his knowledge with us. During our free time in the afternoons, we loved walking around and discovering the surrounding mountains and the city of Pokhara. We also really enjoyed spending time with his family in the evenings, sharing dinners and talking with his daughter. They cooked delicious Nepalese dishes and made us feel very welcome. They even invited us to be part of their Dashain festival celebration, which was a very special and unforgettable experience for us.

El fondo San José fue mi última voluntaria en Chile, no estaba planeado, pero estoy agradecida de que terminara sucediendo. Mi trabajo consistió en crear visuales (fotos y vídeos) para las redes sociales del Fundo. Además de crear un plan de marketing, dar ideas sobre qué publicar en cada plataforma y cómo interactuar constantemente con sus clientes/seguidores. Aparte de eso, también estaba ayudando a preparar el quincho y con el mantenimiento del lugar antes y después de que la gente llegara, y ayudando con las excursiones escolares. Me estaba quedando en una habitación privada y compartía el baño con otro workawayer y su padre. La casa en la que nos alojábamos era linda, como el fundo. Por último, no había horarios, cada día era un poco diferente. A veces trabajaba por las mañanas y a veces todo el día con unas pausas (más así). Pero en todo caso, Pablo se adapta y la comunicación está bien. Tuve la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con algunos animales de la granja e incluso presenciar el nacimiento de un cordero, y finalmente caminar por la parte del bosque que poseen. A veces Pablo me llevaba a la ciudad y una vez visitábamos a sus vecinos, en la que fue una noche divertida. Me lo pasé muy bien en el fundo, y Pablo y su padre fueron muy acogedores y súper amables. Gracias Pablo por esta oportunidad, el fundo San José es un gran lugar con buena energía y rodeado de buena gente también.

My stay at the abbey was truly a beautiful time. I received much more than I could have expected. The surrounding nature is incredible, and the hosts are happy to lend bicycles and kayaks. Life there is modest and simple; the food comes from donations from supermarkets that would otherwise be thrown away — this is a wonderful initiative! However, it does sometimes happen that some products are in really poor condition, making it debatable whether they are still suitable to eat, but we have to use them in the kitchen anyway. The work is uncomplicated and pleasant, as it is done in groups and provides an opportunity to get to know other people. Integration with those who live there permanently — the young people attending the formation course — is somewhat difficult. This is probably intentional: Workaway volunteers function as a separate entity, with a separate house, and we often eat on our own. For me, however, this contact was important, and after many efforts I managed to become friends with some of residents. Importantly, most things are communicated in French, so if you need translation, it’s better to make sure you arrange it yourself ;) Nevertheless, the community is making an effort, and at times English translations are provided for people from other countries. Overall, I will remember my stay for the rest of my life. Thanks to my open requests — which were listened to! — I was able to participate as fully as possible in the spiritual and communal life of the abbey. The most beautiful thing is that the abbey remains open to people like me, inviting them into its life and shared space, which certainly requires additional energy. I attribute some of the difficulties to the complexity of communal life, and I am grateful to everyone for every smile, support, and openness <3

We both decided to stay for one week at the farm and we had a really great time. The house where you will stay is warm, cozy and calm, which make it easy to relax ( we loved the hamac 😜) David really took good care of us, and was always kind, available and attentive. He is a really nice person. We enjoyed working at the farm with all the volunteers, learning new things about nature and each other. During our free time we went to some waterfall and even swim in it, walked around the city … You will also eat typical food at the farm at lunch and dinner. They made us a Da nang speciality : Mi quang!!! One of our best workaway experience. We would definitely recommend it.

We were very pleased with Chris and enjoyed having him with us. He was originally meant to stay for two weeks, but we extended his stay by several more weeks—which speaks for itself. Chris was eager to help in a variety of roles, from planning renovation work to carrying out more labour-intensive tasks such as installing ceramic floor tiles. His ability to break problems down into smaller steps and independently research solutions online helped us tremendously with our projects. Chris was also highly motivated and proactive, anticipating our needs as we got to know each other and our respective working styles. Throughout our time working together, we had no disagreements and consistently focused on finding solutions to the challenges we faced. We will miss his smile and his cheerful “Hello!” each morning. We highly recommend Chris.

Giada and Alice stayed with us for two months and quickly became part of the family! We miss them very much and wish they could have stayed forever! They were absolutely fantastic Workaway-ers and we recommend them 100%. They were so eager to help, were fantastic with our dog and kids, and threw themselves into every task (even the not-so-fun tasks like cleaning up in the garden in the Norwegian rain!). They also did things without being asked which was amazing - e.g. seeing that the bins were getting full and taking them out, noticing that the kitchen floor was dirty and vacuuming... It was like having little fairies living in the house doing all of the little jobs that get too much for a busy working family! They were also independent and not afraid to work things out themselves and go off exploring, which was great, we never felt like we had to "entertain" them! They were also such sweet and lovely people, and we loved discussing the differences between Norwegian and Italian culture, and learning about their lives. They became good friends very quickly and I hope we can stay in touch. You are welcome back any time <3

Kristin was an outstanding volunteer. She was consistently warm, welcoming, and attentive with our hotel guests, always willing to help and frequently going above and beyond what was expected. She is highly intelligent, learns quickly, and is genuinely committed to doing excellent work. We would be happy to welcome her back at any time.
