An overall lovely couple, mom and dad vibes. People are still talking about that bread pudding!

Amazing couple, super hard workers, out going and a pleasure to be around.

I wish I had some photos of Leo coming back from the Carpentry shop. This guy would work all day building something and come back covered had to toe black from curing furniture. Awesome guy, was really a pleasure to have around

Hard worker and super friendly, everyone loved having her around, plus cool name, right?

Robin is a character, very outgoing, has that German efficiency and the Colombian charm.

Our time at Maria's was one of the most special experiences of our lives. Maria, Heather, and their friends in Kalamata are all wonderful people who did an amazing job helping us get a feel for authentic Greek culture and the surrounding landscape (which is STUNNING, btw). One thing we really appreciated about Maria's was the ability to work on our own schedule - still putting in 5 hours/day minimum, but doing it on our own time to get through the list we were given. This allowed us to enjoy the nice weather when we had it! Our accommodation was lovely and we really enjoyed playing games with Maria & Heather at night while enjoying the view of Kalamata, and sharing meals together. Maria is a great cook 😊 Anyone seeking Workaway opportunities in Greece - this is your best bet. The Peloponnese feels like a Greek island without the headache associated with getting to one. We rented a car for our 2 week stay and the total came to €2 per day. We would love to come back in the future to help out some more.

Max and Alba stayed with us for a couple of weeks and quickly felt like part of the household. They both speak good English (Alba’s is especially strong) and were good company. They helped with garden work including lots of weeding and mulching. Alba treated us to some cooking and baking. We enjoyed hanging out with them in the evening playing cards and really enjoyed having them stay and would happily recommend them to others. 'Have a nice day!'

I can not describe how incredibly lucky I feel to have spent two weeks with Noya. My time here was spent hiking through some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen, learning about the plants of the forest, caring for trees, weeding the fields, and helping clean the work areas. None of my time felt like work at all! Noya is genuinely one of the smartest people I've ever met in my entire life, and each day felt like being given front-row seats to the world's best lecture series! I felt welcomed into her beautiful home from day 1, and enjoyed reading by the fire, cooking and eating beautiful food with Noya, playing with the amazing dogs, and getting to hear hilarious stories from Noya's incredible life. My only regret is that I did not get to stay longer! This is the place for you if you are looking to clear your head, slow down your pace of life, get off the grid, and get your hands dirty. Noya's enthusiasm and incredible dedication to her project is absolutely infectious, and I felt so lucky to be able to be a part of this undertaking, if only for a short time. The accommodations were amazing (super comfy bed in one of the coolest houses I've ever seen!), the food was delicious, and the work was inspiring. I can not recommend this enough! I miss Noya and her dogs already and hope to return at some point! Lots of love, Maria

He tenido una experiencia excelente con Gerard y Mónica. Son anfitriones muy cálidos y atentos, siempre pendientes de que no me faltara nada y de que me sintiera cómoda en todo momento. Intercambiamos experiencias, me cocinaron comidas típicas y me enseñaron mucho de la cultura catalana. El lugar es realmente hermoso: una finca rodeada de naturaleza, a menos de diez minutos de Valls. El apartamento para los voluntarios es muy acogedor, cómodo y bien equipado, lo que hace que la estancia sea aún más agradable. Las tareas son sencillas, los horarios se respetan y son flexibles. Todo se desarrolla en un ambiente tranquilo y relajado, sin presiones. Es un lugar ideal para quienes disfrutan del contacto con la naturaleza y buscan una experiencia equilibrada y humana. Gracias, Moni y Gerard, por haber hecho de esta experiencia algo tan bonito y enriquecedor.

Even though I spent less than a week there everyone working there was nice. I was taking pictures and creating social media content and they were very flexible with the timing. I loved the vibe of the hotel and it was a pleasure shooting there. Also, the location of the hotel is amazing as it is very central, perfect for exploring in your free time. Although there was a little bit of a language barrier they are very hospitable and friendly, would recommend!

Over the years, we must have had over 40 people stay with us on the Workaway program. Amin was, without a doubt, the standout guest. Amin is Canadian and has trained as a fitter-welder. He had worked in a heavy engineering environment, and his ability to identify a problem and fix it, or suggest a solution, was extraordinary. He was in Australia to catch up with his partner and establish whether he would like to immigrate to Australia. We were happy to lend him a vehicle while he visited his friend and spoke to managers of heavy industrial works to see whether his qualifications would be a good fit. He was interesting, fun to be around, and so very easy to get on with. We have become friends with him and his partner, and although he is now back in Canada, we do hope to see him again. Words seem inadequate to express our regard for him

Ivar was our first Workaway guest. He's fun, easygoing, and responsible. The bond he formed with the land and our animals was wonderful. He's also generous in sharing his knowledge. It was a pleasure to spend even a short time with him. I hope we can meet again in the future.

Leonie and her lo friend Numi, stayed with me in November. They are positive people who got on with the tasks , which included animal care, cementing in a fence, and painting a cupboard to make it into a cat house. They are polite, happy trust worthy people. I recommend them and wish them much happiness on their journey

It was a fun and wonderful experience hosting Jomanda and Pascal. They have both been so helpful around the house and farm as well as being great company. In addition to the great farm assistance, they did much to help me hosting others for what turned out to be a very busy period around my fathers 90th birthday, including great work assisting us for that party. Jomanda did some amazing work in and around the gardens, and her help inside that was so very much appreciated, from her organisational skills to her kitchen mastery! Pascal proved to be such a capable person around the sheds and farm, from the basics such as collecting, cutting and stacking wood, to gardening, tree removal, planting, creating garden paths, to significant jobs using his electrical skills. Pascal took on each job as a challenge and really delivered. We did some great trips together, from boat trips to day trips in the 4wd, had a number of dinners out together and they explored the area on their own at times too which was great to see. So much to thank them both for, and the time went too quickly over those winter months.’ Would highly recommend them both to anyone lucky enough to be able to host them.

Charles arrived to stay with us for two weeks. This was extended and he remained with us for a month. During this time Charles was a great person to have about. He has a practical use of English and may occasionally seek clarification of a word or kiwi expression. As a person he was friendly and easy to engage in conversation. As a helper he was willing to tackle any task we discussed. These tasks ranged from gathering and splitting firewood, chipping branches, tidying debris from fallen trees, mounding up potatoes, lawn work and helping my daughter move house as the were shifting during this time. It soon became obvious that Charles could be trusted and would ensure he more than just completed the agreed time for work . He interacted well with young persons in our home and we are very happy to recommend Charles to be a great guest and worker for any host or employer he seeks a position with. Charles we wish you all the best for your travels in NZ and we will hold an emergency placement open for you should you have need of it in the future.

Wonderful family and amazing hosts! A great place surrounded by nature, peaceful and green. The hosts are kind, welcoming, and always helpful. For anyone who enjoys working in the garden, this place is a small paradise. Highly recommended!

I had a really good time at Andrea's home. She's a really friendly host, the tasks to do were pretty easy and her petswere lovely. She lives in a beautiful place in the middle of nature. I also had time to visit some of the places around Paraty, but the weather was a little bit rainy so I couldn't go to all the places I would have liked to go. You should know that is a place were you are probably spend lot of time by yourself and that Andrea's house is around 20-30 minutes by bus from Paraty centre. Is not difficult to go, but you have to check on the bus time schedule to coordinate. Puma, Tango, Ami and Xuxu are great company and not difficult to take care of. Andrea is a very easy person to chat with. Super recommended and thanks Andrea!!!

Annabelle and Truman! Thank you so much. This was my first workaway experience and it was exactly what I could've hoped for <3 It's been rewarding work to help you build your dream here on this land over the last two months. I especially love the diversity of the tasks I've been able to contribute to each day, between building the deck, painting, gardening, organizing, creating in the workshop, and of course my walks with baby Æily 🥰 also love the off grid sustainable energy and water systems! Even during the rainy season the land is beautiful, and we had plenty of sunny days to jump in the river or go down to the waterfall or go on hikes, weekend markets or other gatherings throughout the community. Here on the land your kindness welcomes a community energy among the volunteers that I'm so grateful to have been apart of. Sharing nourishing meals, dancing, Truman's stretchy bands and games, Annabelles yoga, and sharinging your gratitude and love of the land has been so wonderful 🤩 and the land itself also allows appreciation for solo time 🥰 Thank you for everything and I hope to come back to Agua Lila again soon xo Shout out to all the other volunteers, was great to share this time with you - Gabi, Charlie, Marco, honorary volunteer Hilo, and special thanks to John for sharing your knowledge And Bodhi 🐶

I spent two weeks with David. Most of the time I worked in the vineyard. More precisely... I worked on turning it into a vineyard. I pruned the vines and cut back the bushes to their roots. I would say... we've made a start. David is a fair host, and we had a very pleasant interpersonal relationship. His cooking skills are top-notch and have already been praised by other Workawayers. The description on his page is accurate. I enjoyed it. Five out of five points ....

Eliana was my first workaway experience and I couldn't have imagined a better hostess. I absolutely enjoyed staying with her. She welcomed me with open arms into her beautiful home. I had a lot of fun helping her with the olive picking and learning about the process of olive oil making. We had nice talks and there was always good italian food. I loved the cultural exchange. I was always welcome to join her and her friends for activities which gave me the opportunity to get an insight into the southern italian culture. Thank you again, Eliana, for this great time. I will be back for sure :)
