J’ai passé deux semaines avec Jarka, Pepa, Helenka et Vojta (et leur grand-mère) début décembre et je ne peux que vous recommander de venir rendre visite à cette adorable famille. Ils ont tout simplement le cœur sur la main et vous vous sentirez comme à la maison. Jarka cuisine chaque jour de bons petits plats et est toujours motivée pour améliorer son français ou son anglais ou aider avec l’apprentissage de la langue tchèque. J’ai adoré nos conversations après le dîner, que ce soit sur l’actualité, les langues ou les voyages. J’ai également eu la possibilité de visiter l’école dans la forêt où elle travaille et d’aider pendant les leçons de français et d’anglais. Avec eux ou grâce à leurs conseils, j’ai pu visiter Veselý Kopec et son écomusée, Žďár nad Sázavou et les oeuvres de Michal Olšiak, le paradis tchèque ainsi que leur magnifique jardin à quelques kilomètres de Hlinsko. J’espère qu’on se reverra bientôt. Encore merci pour tout =). - Maëlys

I spent three wonderful weeks there in November, looking after Patricia's house and five dogs. The house is super cozy with a view of snow-covered forests and a river. The surrounding nature is incredibly beautiful, especially when there is snow on the ground. The five dogs are very sweet and well trained. The biggest problem is that you don't have enough hands to pet them all at once! I really enjoyed the daily walks in the woods, especially with the northern lights above me. It can get a little lonely, but Patricia has super nice neighbors who took me to Umea and a small Christmas market nearby and explained a lot about Swedish culture to me. Patricia is a super warm and open person, she was always available when I had questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! I already miss the dogs in particular :(

Kat was an amazing help here at the shelter. She was very eager to learn and quickly picked up all tasks. She was able to express the bladder of three cats as well as one dog and always handled the animals with great responsibility and care. She was always motivated, reliable, and extremely helpful. She even went to the vet twice and supported us there as well. Even after her departure, she came back a few days later on very short notice to help us out when another volunteer canceled — which was absolutely amazing and meant a lot to us. We could always rely on her, and working together was not only very effective but also a lot of fun. Everything was absolutely great – we would welcome Kat back anytime and can highly recommend her.

Staying with Ruth and her family was a wonderful experience. Ruth is a person with a big heart and a wealth of stories to share, filled with humor and adventure. Her youthful spirit makes it easy to connect with her instantly. We are grateful for the opportunity to garden, work with sheep, and learn the true meaning of the phrase “stubborn as a mule.” XD The day flew by, and in the evening, we enjoyed some great games that we will definitely bring home with us. It's hard to put into words the feelings we experienced—it's something one must try to understand!

Angélique est calme, respectueuse des règles et des espaces mais aussi vaillante s'il le faut ! Merci pour les 5 stères de bois déplacées en un clin d'oeil, le ménage rondement mené et tout le reste Je te souhaite de belles expériences pour la suite

Ayla n'est venue que quelques jours mais on a bien avancé sur les travaux en cours; bonne bricoleuse mais pas que ! Très intéressante aussi dans les discussions, son parcours de vie Dommage que tu craignes le froid mais bon vent à toi ;)

Merci Erika pour ta visite et ton aide Disponible pour tout, que ce soit à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur, du bricolage au ménage ... Longue vie à ton van et à ta chienne :)

Avec Jutta c'était simple! Pas besoin de demander elle devance vos besoins, et sinon elle est enthousiaste :) Tellement bien qu'elle est revenue un peu plus tard pour continuer ce que l'on avait commencé et c'était toujours un plaisir les journées partagées! Elle est autonome, indépendante et très respectueuse des espaces Merci Jutta

John helped us with gardening during his stay. Although he stayed for less time than initially expected, he was a very open, friendly, and pleasant person to have around. Communication was easy, and we appreciated his positive attitude while he was here. He promised he would return to the Farm someday and we would be very glad to host him again :)

To me this was a 5-star Workaway experience! I ended up staying here for 9 weeks instead of 3 planned, because I simply loved it all: place, team, village, tasks, nature, mountains, river, food, and the owners — Ronen and Merav, who both are passionate and supportive. This place felt like home, and I felt really valued and appreciated. My tasks were mostly about kitchen and laundry, and both I enjoyed a lot. The center surely has its mission and serves it to its best. I lived in a comfortable room with my own bathroom, could use the facilities of the house and entire property. I would specifically mention the village and nature around — they are just magnificent, and the good part is that there's enough time to enjoy it while staying at the place. This position is fairly social because people from therapy groups are always around, you cross paths at the property and around the kitchen, so if you look for a deserted place in the middle of nowhere, this may be not the right choice. Other than that I totally recommend this experience! I surely left a piece of my heart there.

Ava was a lovely workawayer. She's easy to communicate with, friendly and personable. She needed to interact and connect with various people to help with the dogs at home and also to volunteer in the dog shelter and everybody found her really easy to communicate and work with. Her Spanish is far better than she has in her profile, which was also her handy. She's adaptable and dealt with some last minute situations and an emergency calmly, which is a super strength. I'd love to have Ava back and totally recommend her.

It is hard to actually put into words the joy it was to host Beccy. In the many years we have hosted through workaway Beccy stands out as the best of the best. She is warm, strong, capable, thoughtful, thorough, and shows initiative. Beccy fit into our home from day 1. She worked until any task was finished regardless of how many hours she had worked, and every job was completed to perfection and everything put away afterwards. Even after working Beccy just saw what needed to be done and would just get stuck into after meal clean up, hanging out washing, checking stock, you name it, as well as going for anywhere from a 5 to a 17km run. She is game to try anything, driving the quad bike, mixing concrete, mulching branches, painting, gardening, cleaning ... We enjoyed many cups of tea and long deep conversations. She even house sat when we had to go away for a few days we came home to a clean house, a yummy baked rhubarb loaf and a banana loaf, happy animals and the gardens watered. We truly miss all her help, cheer and beautiful company, and we are pretty sure the dogs and cats miss her every bit as much as we do. She truly feels like a member of our family. If you ever get a chance to host Beccy jump at it!!

Thank you for visiting Andrew, was very nice to get to know you and I am grateful for all the help. Good conversations and nice company in the sauna. Your presence was very appreciated and you are welcome again.

We hosted Julia and Harry for three weeks during the olive harvest and enjoyed every minute of it! They are a wonderful couple, each bringing their own qualities and together creating a balanced dynamic. Their calm and positive nature was constant, allowing for genuine moments of connection and shared experience. Julia and Harry are hardworking and very capable, and easily handled both the nets and the long machines (lanara). They worked attentively, always aware of what was happening around them, supporting their teammates and contributing strongly to the overall rhythm of the harvest. Good-hearted and eager to engage, they enriched the shared time together through great conversations and a quality of presence. They brought an effortless team spirit that truly made everyone feel comfortable and included. We are very grateful for their presence this harvest, it truly made a difference, and we are thrilled we got to share this time with them. Thank you again, Julia and Harry, we wish you the best on your travels!

Sabrina is an incredibly generous, positive, and open-minded person who makes the time in Indonesia truly special. I had the chance to meet many of her friends and her family, which I really appreciated and which made my experience even more meaningful. I loved teaching the kids English and introducing them to new games, it was such a rewarding experience! Time flew by so quickly. I already miss this place and hope I can come back one day. Thank you so much for everything! Makasih ya!

This was our fifth workaway. Our one week in Ismailia was wonderful! Yaser and his brother Osama are so welcoming and fun to spend time with! It was such a rich cultural experience. The first 2 nights we were invited to weddings with them! We got to experience local food and history. We were invited to spend time with their family, friends and kids. We both left wishing we planned more than just a one week stay. Would highly recommend for anyone :)

I loved this Workaway!!! The academy is an incredible place to get involved. The children are so disciplined and respectful, stemming from their practice of martial arts. Teaching them was such a pleasure as they listen intently and have a desire to learn. Our hosts Alvin and Alice where a delight! Their passion is infectious and their outlook on martial arts as a tool for teaching and helping the kids get documented is inspiring. I have so much respect for them both. I was also lucky enough to be there at the same time as Bmax, a national MMA competition. I helped out staffing the event an even competed too!!! Watching the kids compete and excel, even winning many medals, was incredible to say the least! I had such a sense of pride for the kids I had only known for a short time. I was so sad to leave and I will definitely be returning!!!!! If you are someone who wants to make a difference, is not afraid of trying martial arts, playing uno, and playing more uno, then this is the place for you! Thank you so much to the Academy, Alvin, Alice and all the kids, I had a wonderful time and hope to return😁

Having Richard over was a blessing! He is kind, hard-working, humble and such a nice company! We miss him!!! We really appreciated his enthusiasm and interest in our project. He stayed with us at the Castle for 3 weeks during which he contributed to building a roof for our future tavern and planted close to a hundred trees! He is interested in many different things which makes it a pleasure to exchange during the day or over a nice meal. Thank you so much Richard for coming into our lives :)

Constance's stay here was exactly what I wish from the Workaway experience, meeting an adorable person, extremely friendly and full of good will, hard worker and trustful. Communication was very easy since the first message, she was always ready to help with initiative and autonomy. She will be always welcome back and I hope to see her again someday. Muito obrigado e felicidades!!

A wonderful experience working with Charlie and Ross. They fitted into our house and routine perfectly, were easy to live with and were so helpful getting our unfinished projects done. Would have them back anytime. Had wonderful meals together and fun filled card nights together. There wonderful dog Fig was also a pleasure to have around.
