Paul came here to help with painting the house and gardening for three weeks. He learned quickly and took everything in his stride. We got a lot done together. He was also a great help on hunting trips, fishing trips, and camping trips. He was helpful at sea with setting nets and traps. We cooked a lot of good food together. He was also sociable and friendly with both my children and grandchildren. We had many experiences together. We decided to extend his stay to a total of eight weeks. He is always welcome back here.

My stay with Knut was my first Workaway experience and nothing less than spectacular. Knut really lives an extraordinary life and in my time with him, I was fortunate to be a part of it and have a myriad of new and exciting experiences. Knut and I instantly got along very well, and pretty much immediately after arriving I also had the chance to meet his amazing family who I really felt like a part of during my time there. Knut is super active and pretty much always doing something, has a big family, circle of friends and is extraordinarily well connected in the community. With Knut, you never really know what a day will look like and plans can change quickly. He is super active and loves being outdoors. We were out on his boat almost everyday, fishing or checking the crab traps. We also did multiple amazing trips hiking and fishing in the mountains and sleeping over in cabins. We also went shooting and once the season had started I could join him for deer hunting. These activities also generate a lot of fresh meat and fish which Knut knows how to prepare in all sorts of ways, so there is always amazing food. Work at his house involved painting, gardening or clearing out his outhouses. Generally though, there wasn’t a strict separation between work and off-time which was one of the cool things. Every day was like another adventure with new experiences. A lot of time is also spent helping out people he knows and who are in need of his many skills. And, from fixing almost anything to spontaneously building a stone wall, it always seems like he’s done it a million times. Those are also great chances to learn from him and improve your own skills. What exactly you join him for is always completely up to you and he will make sure you are comfortable and your needs are accommodated. But, in order to get the most out of your stay with Knut you should be an active, outdoors loving, hands-on and spontaneous person who can go with the flow and be okay with not knowing what any given day is going to look like. You should also like meat and fish and trying new food. Knut is also very smart and has gone through and done a lot in his life. More than his story being inspiring in its own right, it is great to talk to him, get his advice and reflect upon your own life. Sometimes it’s also just fun to listen to one of the many stories he can tell from his life. If you share his direct sense of humor you will also have a lot to laugh! For anyone who these words resonate with and who wants a Norwegian adventure, I can wholeheartedly recommend a stay with Knut. I'm lucky to now call Knut a friend and look forward to visiting him again someday.

I stayed at their home for three weeks, and I had a very positive experience there. Unfortunately, Raf was working in another place during my stay, so I didn’t get the chance to meet him in person, but he supported me very well through WhatsApp. Thank you, Raf. During my stay, I spent most of my time with Frank and Evelyne. They are very kind, and the time I spent with them is a wonderful memory for me. Every evening, we went for walks along a beautiful path near their home and did some shopping at a small local shop run by a neighbor. We cooked dinner together and enjoyed our meals as a family. The volunteer work included general farm tasks such as watering and weeding the garden every morning, feeding the chickens, preparing food for Trent (their friendly dog), as well as cleaning and washing dishes. I had a private room, which was very clean and comfortable, and I was able to live there peacefully. On the weekends, Frank took me to visit Lake Victoria and also showed me his studio. I also had the opportunity to attend a university festival with Evelyne. It was a lot of fun. If you are looking for a volunteer experience in Kenya, I highly recommend staying at this place.

Visiting this place was My First Workaway Experience and I was very Fortunate to find Paco and his Project. Paco has an Immense wealth of Experience with Volunteers running over decades. Although My stay was Short I learnt a lot about life as a Volunteer. The place of Paco and the Village of Villabre is a truly authentic and special unique place. The surrounding area is peaceful and surrounded by low level hills although very wild and rugged with an abundance of Wildlife and Spanish Culture. It’s very Important to read the description Paco has explained to join this Project . It is very much about Living in a community and Working as a team. It is an experience that will stay in your heart if You visit.

This was my first Workaway experience, and honestly, it was something really special for me. I spent an amazing time with truly wonderful people — Taisia and Chain. Thank you for welcoming me, for giving me the chance to stay at your place, and for sharing this experience with me. I felt good, relaxed, and happy there. It was fun, warm, and very real. I really enjoyed helping you and being part of such an authentic place with a beautiful atmosphere. I’m very grateful for this time and I will carry this experience with me. Wish u the best cuse u are amazing people and hope to see u again with love Tomas 🙌

We stayed for five weeks and had an amazing time. Lovely kids, Trent is great, and there’s plenty of freedom, while also being included in many fun activities. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Goda was a great Workawayer and a pleasure to have around. We had a good laugh and the dogs loved being around her. She kept the house perfect and loved helping out with the painting of the exterior. She also enjoyed walking to the the village and meeting regulars and tourists at my bar and will be missed. Goda you are welcome back anytime you wish 😊

It was great to have Georg stay. He was very helpful and skilful and made thing look good.

Aya was a real pleasure to have in our home while she was taking care of Ringo. From the very beginning, communication with her was clear, friendly, and very smooth, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind while we were away. She kept us well informed and was always attentive and responsive, which we really appreciated. Ringo absolutely loved spending time with her. It was obvious that he felt comfortable, safe, and happy in her care, and we could see that she genuinely enjoys being with dogs. She was very attentive to his needs, routines, and personality, and she treated him with a lot of care and affection. Everything worked out perfectly during her stay — from daily routines to the overall organization and cleanliness of the house. We came back to a calm and happy dog and a home that had been very well looked after, which made a big difference for us. We sincerely hope to welcome her back into our home in the future and to see her again soon.

Hannah and Tim were both superb Workaways. They worked enthusiastically, always with a good attitude regarding the work that needed to be done. We are very grateful to have had them as part of our team here at our small farm. They did a lot of fruit tree pruning and clearing the water basins around the trees as well as sowing maize seeds. They enjoyed what our area had to offer, peace and quiet, as well as our small town.

We had a great experience with this volunteer. She was responsible, proactive, and always willing to help with a positive attitude. She completed her tasks on time and showed great teamwork and communication skills. We truly appreciated her commitment and energy, and we would definitely recommend her to any future host.

I had a wonderful month staying with Bernd and Dani in Hobart. During my time there I helped with many small projects around the house, including painting a door that became part of their beautiful door fence outside, removing the old wooden fence and installing a new one, and doing general house maintenance and repairs. Bernd and Dani were incredibly kind, generous and supportive hosts. They made me feel welcome from the very first day and were always helpful and considerate. It was a real pleasure to work with them and be part of their home for a while. This was a truly beautiful experience and I can warmly recommend this Workaway to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxed and meaningful stay in Hobart.

Thank you so much for everything over the past 5 days. I had such a fun and meaningful experience. Umi’s cooking was delicious, and all of the staff were very warm and welcoming. The children were also adorable and truly comforting to be around. I really appreciated how everyone treated me like family. I hope we can meet again soon.

Duha was wonderful. She's one of those people you might not even notice (discreet, introverted, polite) but then they continually surprise you. Intelligent, excellent at organizing the tasks assigned to her, sensitive, a good cook, deep in spirit, friendly, fun, reliable. I really appreciated her commitment (and excellent results) to learning a few words of Italian, which I consider one of the nicest and most respectful things to do for full integration. In short, thank you, Duha, and if you happen to have the chance, don't hesitate to welcome her.

I absolutely loved the opportunity to volunteer at this coliving. I intended to stay a month and ended up staying almost 2. The facilities are super clean, the work requirements are very clearly outlined and Leo is great to work with. If I'm back in Colombia, I would definitely volunteer again.

Eva was a fabulous WWer. She helped in the garden , very good with the electric weed trimmer & all the other tasks plus she bakes amazing cakes. We had such interesting conversations (her English is better than mine) 😁 No hesitation in making a recommendation

I volunteered for a short time with Ayrat and I had the opportunity to work with beautiful stone material. Ayrat was respectful of my time constraints and adjusted the project accordingly. He communicated his ideas in detail. The housing project where he lives is unique; the apartment where I stayed is pretty luxurious and food was plenty and very healthy. There is a park nearby ideal for doing sports. I enjoyed the work. Apart from the mosaics, I helped with some small things around the house, and we treated some houseplants - I hope they improved! Take care and thanks for having me, Julia

Yevgeniy works even harder than his name is to pronounce! (for me anyway ;-)...and he's laid back enough that he gave me a break and let me shorten it to 'Yev'. Even better than working harder, he works smarter too - anticipating things a few moves ahead and really being in sync with whatever tasks or projects were at hand. On top of all that, I think Yev might just be the most compatible person on the planet - able to utilize his broad cultural and linguistic background to build instant rapport with anybody. Even after a short time I could see he was a really cool guy, a solid friend, an enlightened spirit, and just an all-around asset in any kind of setting. And luckily he stayed for a long time, which was a win-win. I 100% recommend having Yev be a part of anything you have going on with Workaway or wherever you may cross paths!

j'ai adoré mon expérience chez Nuri. À cause de la météo nous avons parfois du rester à l'intérieur, mais le séjour était très agréable. Nuri est un très bon hôte, il cuisine très bien et m'a fait découvrir les spécialité du nord de la Turquie. Nous avons visité Trabzon ensemble et il m'a raconté l'histoire de la région. Même s'il ne parle pas anglais nous pouvons communiquer avec le téléphone, j'ai aussi pu améliorer mon apprentissage du turc!

Susannah was an enthusiastic and helpful worker, joining on projects for many days without even staying here just to gain knowledge and experience. From day one she showed her resiliency and compassion by joining to help neighbors out in a time of emergency as if it was her own community. She has a tendency to be self-effacing and underestimating her own abilities, though always steps up and shines with some encouragement. She is also the Janie-on-the-spot(?) with PPE to make sure that she and everyone around is safe and protected!
