We originally planned on staying with Peter for a week but extended our stay a little bit because we had such a good time with him! We lived in a modern wooden house, which was great because we had a lot of room for all of our stuff. The work we did was really fair and we had a lot of fun working together with him as well! He cooked delicious meals and even prepared breakfast every morning before we were even up. We felt really comfortable around him, played games together, made music and had movie nights, what was also really fun. He lives in a beautiful area surrounded by forest and a river to swim in. Overall we had a really lovely time and highly recommend to stay with him!

We had an amazing experience with Cole. No task was too big or too small for him and he was always willing to help out. Family is one of our most important values and he fit right in with us. He connected very well with the younger Vietnamese staff and other volunteers. Cole had excellent customer service skills also. During his time with us, we experienced severe flooding and damage to our hostel. Cole was very helpful with the clean up process. Thank you so much Cole for your help, please come back soon :( <3

I had a great time with them in an amazing sourrounding. I worked every day with the animals and learned a Lot how their Tours work. In my free time i got a lot of advice for the best places to visite in the area. We were talking about nice and interessting things. Thank you for the time.

I loved my time with Jaco and Alex! They made me feel welcome right away and were so generous with their appreciation and kindness. It was a wonderful opportunity to get back to basics and enjoy the simple pleasures in life - time in nature, interesting conversations, and fresh food from the garden. I deeply appreciate the time Jaco gave to share her knowledge of gardening and for the trust so I could experiment and learn new woodworking skills. I also deeply appreciate the care Alex showed me in making sure I had everything I needed and was super generous with sharing his books and spices with me. My time with you both was truely a gift, thank you for having me!

I had a wonderful time with Selena, her father, and their two lovely dogs, Hachiko and Megumi. Selena welcomed me so warmly and made me feel completely part of the family. I got to try lots of delicious local food, we went to the market together, and I had the chance to explore her neighborhood. One week was definitely too short to discover everything, but I really enjoyed finding a nice routine with the dogs and slowing down a bit. We even went to a Golden Retriever event together, which was amazing, and I got to experience the beautiful Lantern Festival! All in all, I would absolutely recommend spending time with Selena to anyone who loves dogs. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in Kuala Lumpur again! Thank you so much for the wonderful time! 💛

Having Lorenzo was a wonderful experience. He is reliable, creative, and very autonomous. I was pleasantly surprised by his skill and maturity, especially for someone so young. He takes initiative, brings great ideas, and carries them out with responsibility and enthusiasm. He also speaks Spanish very well, which made communication easy and natural. It was a real pleasure to share this time with him — his presence brought freshness, joy, and commitment to the project. Thank you, Lorenzo, for all that you contributed!

Thank you Cerys for staying with us. Even if it was a short time we got to meet you and we were not there you did a fantastic help and we grateful with your work. Cerys looked after our dog and cat and cared for the house while we were away. She is a polite, friendly, helpful person and I can recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone responsible and helpful. All the best Cerys for your future and you are welcome back all the time.🤗🥰Thank you so much!

We were extremely fortunate to spend three weeks at the rescue and are truly grateful for the experience. Gaby is a wonderful person — full of light, compassion, and endless love for her animals. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. The dogs and cats here are incredible — so full of character, resilience, and affection. Every day spent with them in nature was a gift. Whether it was morning walks, playtime, or quiet moments in the sun, you can feel how much love lives in this place. If we could have stayed longer, we absolutely would have. The animals and Gaby deserve all the help they can get, and I hope future volunteers come with love, an open mind, and compassion for these amazing animals and this beautiful project. I can’t recommend it enough.

This was our first workaway experience and exposure to permaculture. We didn't know much going in, but Jackie and Julia happily shared their knowledge and experience. A lot of the work was challenging (especially creating new veggie/crop beds), but there was a good balance between harder tasks out in the sun and easier, more shady ones. We did a lot of painting, greenhouse work, compost harvesting, and planting/fertilizing grasses and trees. The typical work day was 8 to noon-ish, but they had no problem with us working 6-10 to beat some of the heat! We also had a great time getting to know the 3 volunteers up at the farm with us and the other volunteer staying at their current homestead. We made several group dinners, played games, and had fun getting to know Siquijor together. The farm also has a sweet resident dog, LC, and several neighbor dogs that liked to escort us up and down the driveway. The only major downside was that there weren't any cats or farm animals on the farm yet. We're looking forward to returning some day and seeing the new homestead and programs up and running!

We honored to meeting Noah. He was an absolutely gem. We are deeply grateful for Noah for supporting my family in so many ways!!!! He is very respectful, very polite,caring, loving,open minded smart person. He took on every tasks with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, whether it was helping around the land and our house,simply being with my girls and entertaining them. He integrated seamlessly with our family was incredibly engaging. He has done such an amazing jobs for especially with our Japanese fruits trees !!!It was incredible! I really enjoyed to having great conversations with him about our life. Overall it was such a special feeling to having him around like one of our family member!!!! Thank you so much for everything Noah. We hope to see you soon again in the near future!!

Kenzie is a joyful, vibrant and enthusiastic character and will definely bring joy to your home. Kenzie will approach every task with enthusiasm and a fresh perspective. Kenzie is keen to learn new things, embraces new cultlures and is great company for all ages. We look forward to hosting Kenzie again.

I am very grateful to have been part of this place for two weeks. It is intense in a good way, you get the full dose of dogs! It is great to see that dogs that would have no chance elsewhere find a loving home here, as long as they dont get adopted. It sometimes moved me to tears to see how much dedication goes into doing everything possible for the welfare of the animals in this place. All the volunteers, the team, and especially the owner put their heart and soul into it, and the dogs reward you with unconditional love. You should be aware that you won't find any luxury there—all donations go to the welfare of the dogs, because there is never enough. You get plenty of food (3 meals), a clean bed, and the common room is cozy. The work itself is demanding, but that's mostly because of the hot weather. The tasks are fairly distributed and you have plenty of opportunities to rest. Endless dog cuddles included <3 I wish you all the best, lots of strength, and maybe we'll see each other again when I come back :)

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Margaret stay with us. She is a wonderful person. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering hosting her. She would always be welcome back with us anytime!

What a pleasure it was to meet Clodagh! She fit right into our home as if she’d been an old friend. No task was ever too much—she simply jumped in and helped wherever needed. Thank you for the laughs, the giggles, and the time spent together. Come back soon, please!

We stayed with Vidar for 2 weeks and had a really great time. We helped him with cutting down the bushes in the backyard. We had no experience before coming here but Vidar was really helpful and easygoing and explained everything to us really well. When we got tired of the bushes we made jam, build a bench and carved a pumpkin. Vidar also volunteered to drive us around and give us a sightseeing tour were we also got icecream. In addition he went to the supermarket with us and always bought us everything we needed, including chocolate :). He and his friend who stayed also at his house for a few days were really nice, open and genuine people. He has a really awesome place and you will have an incredible view while working. We can recommened staying with Vidar for everyone who likes the nature, the quiet and working outdoors. Thank you for everything! We hope to come back sometime and to welcome you in Austria someday!

Yume was delightful to host. She was eager to help and learn, and took on her tasks with enthusiasm. She was quick to learn and worked diligently. We had a great exchange as I learnt about her culture and her fascinating profession. She is always cheerful and full of life and I enjoyed getting to know her. We shared many laughs together. Thanks Yume!

Mari was only expected to stay a few weeks, but she was so wonderful and helpful she ended up staying 3 months. She was always pleasant and cheerful, happily taking on any task that needed to be done. She learnt quickly, used her own initiative and was consistent and reliable. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any job she might apply for. Thank you Mari, I appreciate your help and enjoyed getting to know you.

We had a great time at Milford House! As Deej had a work trip we didn't get much time together, but we felt comfortable with our responsibilities and the rhythm of the house and enjoyed what time we did have. It is a beautiful house and a wonderfull property, full of things to do. We took to working the garden and did a lot of work clearing blackberries. The dogs were fun and Olive the cat was adorable, enjoyed mucking in with the other volunteers, it was a good group! Grateful for the opportunity, would recommend.

Harry is a very welcoming host who genuinely wants his volunteers to experience the local culture and way of life. His garden is located about two hours’ drive from Ho Chi Minh City, followed by a short two-minute boat ride across the river. It's perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet, as there isn’t really any entertainment around. There’s a gardener named Mr. Six who lives in the garden. He doesn’t speak English, so we communicated through Google Translate, but he’s a great cook and very kind. If you’re looking for a highly social experience, though, this place might feel a bit isolated. The tasks are light, mostly washing dishes and doing some simple gardening work. The bathroom and shower are outdoors (without a roof), which can be inconvenient when it rains, but the room itself is quite luxurious and comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful and unique and memorable experience.

I will treasure the time I had with Bea and Marco for a long, long time. They are incredibly kind, funny, and welcoming people. I felt immediately at home with them and all my needs were met. Bea's cooking was delicious, the bedroom was private and clean, and the garden was truly gorgeous. The work asked of me was very fair and they made sure to show me how to do the things they asked of me so that I could be successful. I helped around the house with cooking and cleaning, maintained the room they rent as an Airbnb between stays, and helped Marco in the garden with planting, composting, and raking leaves. Bea made sure I saw the countryside and the nearby town so that I got the full experience. We only spoke in French, which was what I had wanted, and they were very patient and corrected me when I needed it. I recommend this workaway to anyone with a good work ethic that is looking to spend time with wonderful people in a beautiful and quiet location. A bientot!
