So glad to have met fellow Brits here for the first time since landing in Australia months ago. Alva and Duncan's homestead was such a privilege to enjoy a short exchange in. They live on a beautiful patch of land that's calming and inspiring. They lend a great work ethic and varied routine for their workers and a wonderful setup for your accommodation. Thanks so much for having me, friends - that was 1 week I really needed, yet it felt like longer ☀️

We spent 3 weeks and we felt directly at home. Michel and Isabel are really welcoming and make us feel comfortable. In 3 weeks, we learnt so much, all the tasks are super varied : gardening, harvesting, maintenance, construction, cooking, taking care of the animals (sheeps, chickens), ... Aside the everyday tasks, we are free to get more involved and learn even more : we learnt how to make sourdough bread with Isabel, and learnt the basics of carpentry with Michel. They are really attached to leave us a lot of freedom and choice, depending on our interests, we can get involved in different tasks. A typical day in: meeting at 9am to distribute the tasks, working on your tasks until 1pm30 / 2pm, eating lunch together (someone prepares it for everybody), free afternoon (you can enjoy the cold pool, have a walk in the forest, visit the city, chill, play boardgames) and then eat dinner as you wish. In case you were wondering, we are eating very well (veggies from the garden, organic products) and in big quantities ! We really appreciated to have access to the food storage at any time so we can have breakfast, dinner or a snack whenever we feel to. We also really appreciated to be with other volunteers so we could have a good team energy and get to know various people. We had a wonderful time there and highly recommend this place and hosts. Thank you, Michel and Isabel, for hosting us ! Paolo and Hélène

Luka is a great person, who wears his heart on his sleeve, he was loved by everybody espacialy the dogs and cats, we only told him something once and he would just go out and be his best self, he came back for a second stint and was one of the top workaways, Luka you are welcome to visit us anytime, thank you you from the bottom of our hearts for your help and kindness, till we see you again

A super friendly family who were always there for us. Nathalie transformed our somewhat overgrown garden into a beautiful space. She worked incredibly hard. The communication was very pleasant. We had a lovely meal together and had some great times. They are very tidy and professional. Highly recommended!

Paul and Deirdre were amazing to work with. They were not afraid to get their hands dirty and challenge tough tasks. They participated in our hacienda's first papaya harvest, which was very special. Since Deirdre is fluent in Spanish, she was able to interact with the locals as they learned about Mayan culture. Overall, they were skilled workers who shared with me their knowledge about permaculture practices. Paul and Deirdre are highly recommended.

We spent two weeks with Alva and Duncan. They welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home! They are very kind and always ready to help us if needed. We were with other Workawayers, which was really nice.🙂 As for the work, we helped with collecting and storing hay bales, gardening, housekeeping, and Alexis also did some carpentry work. We loved being surrounded by animals and nature. Among the animals, there are two very friendly dogs , a bit crazy yes, but so cute! We will keep fond memories of our stay, thank you for everything. ❤️

We had a lovely time staying with Lilian and Galip. Their house is charming, and we quickly came to love our time with the dogs every morning and evening. It was a busy time for Lilian and the family so we were left to our own devices much of the time, but everyone at the pottery studio was helpful and friendly. It was great to share their routine and daily life for the short time we had together.

We had a wonderful experience at Daniel and Ora’s home. From our very first contact, they were incredibly welcoming and kind. Daniel is a fantastic person who made us feel at home from the start. He took us to meet his wife’s family and invited us to experience many adventures around Chiang Mai. Together, we spent some time working on his farm and also collaborated on content creation and video editing projects for his YouTube channel. We are truly happy and grateful to have met them and for all the amazing days and experiences we shared. Thank you so much, Daniel and Ora! We wish you all the best and highly recommend this experience to future volunteers =D

It was a very good experience at this place! Agust and the hole family (and Alice) are very kind and respectful. Gulliermo is a very good chef and you will be impressed by his food. The work was various and physical, but I liked it. Also the area and the beach are great. Thanks :)

Having Natsumi and Shobu on our hacienda was a very positive and rewarding experience. They mostly completed gardening and landscaping tasks (cutting down trees :)) They were very respectful, hard-working, eager to learn new things, and committed to the projects they were assigned. They make an awesome team. I was impressed with their Spanish and at how fast they worked together, solved problems, and how they coordinated tasks. Natsumi and Shobu are model volunteers.

En arrivant. j'ai tout de suite été séduite par le lieu. Ses lumières, sa tranquillité, sa douceur, sa faune et sa flore incroyables. Daniela et Ben ont créé un lieu magnifique et respectueux de l'environnement. J'ai été gentiment accueillie par Daniela et Kelsey (a very nice coworker). Nous avions la chance d'avoir chacun notre chambre (Willy nous a rejoint une semaine après mon arrivée) dans une cabana agréable, située à 10 min à pieds de la maison de Daniela et Ben. Nous confectionnions les repas avec les bons fruits et légumes du potager. Certains jours nous partagions l'almuerzo tous ensemble. J'ai eu l’opportunité de découvrir et pratiquer le yoga tous les matins avec Daniela et Kelsey. Une très belle entrée en matière pour commencer la journée ! Sur ces 3 semaine, nos missions de volontaire consistaient à soutenir le travail auprès des magnifiques chevaux de race Marchador. Leurs chevaux sont en confiance avec les humains et dressés avec de réelles compétences et beaucoup de respect. L'adorable Alana travaillait également avec nous. Puis quelle récompense et quel bonheur de monter à cheval en fin d'après-midi, au milieu des troupeaux de vaches, moutons et chevaux ; de croiser un Capybara, une mulita, un ñandu ... Sucesor, merci pour tes galops si confortables ! Nous avons également fait des travaux de peinture (murs et signalétiques), vernis le SPA norvégien, ranger et nettoyer le gîte, promener les chiennes et cuisiné pour la communauté. Rigueur et flexibilité sont attendues dans le travail. J'ai eu la possibilité et la chance de pouvoir découvrir la région sur mes jours de repos. J'ai découvert le yoga et continue de pratiquer et bien que déjà cavalière, j'ai également affiné mes connaissances en éthologie équine. Daniela, merci de m'avoir fait confiance. Ton professionnalisme, ton engagement et ta bienveillance sont précieux. Tous nos échanges étaient riches : en uruguayen, en anglais, en français … Nous finissions toujours par nous comprendre ! Merci encore à vous : Daniela, Ben, Alana, Kelsey et Willy pour votre générosité, votre gentillesse et tous les bons moments partagés avec vous ! A bientôt j'espère !

A charming family who welcomed me into their home for two weeks with so much kindness and care. Victoria and Julz are incredible people, who are raising an absoluty adorable baby (I’m missing his cheeks and jumps so much). They took me everywhere and shared so much of their lives with me, which made my stay unforgettable. Even my work felt enjoyable, seeing how passionate Victoria is about her plants and her food forest. Thanks to them, I met so many lovely people and created beautiful memories. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me. The stay was short but they already have a place in my heart.

it was a really good time having sebastian here, he is calm and kind, always helping and comunication was really easy:) I wish you a nice advendure!:))

I spent 10 amazing weeks here in Greece volunteering. I volunteered in the children's section which was a fun and rewarding experience. The team are all welcoming and very communicative and the accommodation was comfortable. On your time off you can also visit other places like Sofia, Bulgaria and Thessaloniki. I'd highly recommend volunteering 😌

Marrissa has a very calm, even-tempered disposition which is just what we need. She spent 6 weeks with us and we had lots of good chats and debate. She cooked for us most nights, a great variety of interesting and tasty dishes. Despite plenty of encouragement, Marrissa took very little time off. She worked on her writing every day so she made herself available at all hours of the day. This flexibility was very useful to me, especially if I needed to pop out at short notice. She spent time with our mum, Bríd and was kind to her. Overall we had a good and positive experience and we are happy to recommend Marrissa to other hosts.

What a beautiful place full of wonderful people and animals. We really appreciated the communication. Even before we arrived, we talked about the kind of project planned, so that we could decide if that’s suits us. Daily tasks were feeding the animals, preparing food or cleaning the kitchen after cooking. Make sure to bring a warm rain jacket when going in November ;) Thank you for all of the great food and conversations, Kindest regards, Lena and Tabea :)

I stayed with them for approximately one month, and it was a wonderful experience. They made me feel very welcome and were incredibly kind from the very beginning. Elise is an amazing cook, and they shared so many great Norwegian stories and traditions with me. The kids are super cute and friendly, and we played many board games together. The tasks were clearly explained, and the schedule was fair and well organized. The living conditions were comfortable, and I had my own space to relax. The location is beautiful, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. I truly enjoyed my time with them and would highly recommend

This was my first workaway experience and I couldn’t ask for anything better. I have to say, it was one of my best decisions ever to come and spend 6 summer weeks here… I remember my cheeks hurting from smiling when I first saw the mountains. That first ride up to the rifugio, heading toward unbelievably beautiful scenery, is a core memory for me. Since the first time that I met Alessandro, Marco, Fedo, Giuly and Susi, I felt so welcomed. They were so friendly, kind and helpful all of the time and with good sense of humor. It was fun to work with them and I felt that my work was much appreciated. Staff members Martina, Lodo, Lucia and Nico were helpful, kind and explained things when needed. It was very nice that all of us were eating lunch and dinner together sitting around one table and sharing our gratitude for delicious food that was made by Marco, Fedo and Susi. I was excited for every single meal and also happy to share dessert recipes and bake together! I have to mention that they have very good music taste and sometimes there was cooking/dancing parties in the kitchen. Hiking in the Dolomites was a dream come true for me and I still can’t get over the beauty that I saw! I am so lucky of this experience this summer and so grateful that Alessandro gave me this opportunity! Alessandro was very caring and always made sure that I am safe whenever I went for hikes. I could keep writing about pizza nights in the town, endless board games, rainy days by fireplace reading books, naps in hammocks etc…all sharing with amazing people but you just have to meet them and experience it yourself! Alessandro, Marco and rest of the team - I wish you all of the luck with the new rifugio and I deeply wish to see you in Pontechianale!❤️

Ada was a wonderful member of the workaway extended international family and a joy to host. Ada worked hard, diligently and energetically at every task. We were cutting, spliting and bagging firewood, building & dismantling fences and repairing water troughs. Ada learned things fast, her English was excellent and was curious to learn about Kiwi history, language (Slang), holidays, religion & culture. I would highly commend Ada for any job or volunteer position you have. She is in the top 1% of workaways.

We stayed at Amanda's place for 3 weeks in November and December and we had a great time! It was good to learn new skills in the garden and to help out with decluttering stuff and other things that needed to be taken care of. The location is amazing, secluded and with stunning sunset views. We stayed in the gîte that is normally rented out for guests and we had everything we needed. There was even a bath :) Very spacious, so also great when you love spending time in the kitchen. The communication with Amanda went very smooth before we arrived and we got on very easily, had some good laughs, talked about interesting things and did our best to take care of her when she was ill. She gave us all the space to work independently and completely trusted us, which we greatly appreciated. Amanda was very flexible. The doggies TomTom and Sissy and the cats were super sweet (and also naughty, haha). Amanda, we wish you all the best for the future :) May you be happy and healthy ❤️
