Monica was an incredible addition to our language center. She worked with both kids and adults, and everyone loved her energy. She is an excellent English teacher, patient, clear, and very dedicated. Monica is also kind, responsible, and always willing to help with anything needed. 🙏🙏 We truly appreciated her positive attitude and the care she put into every task. Any host would be lucky to have her!

We had such a wonderful time with Davina, Harry, Balian, Noah and all the animals! We (my husband, 4 year old son and me) stayed here for one week and felt so welcome. The family was really relaxed and thankfull for our help in and around the house. We stayed in a nice guesthouse and our son really liked the swimmingpool. It was our first workaway-experience and we are so glad and thankfull that we stayed with this lovely family!!

My experience here has been amazing!! A very friendly, open minded and helpful staff. Nice working ambiance. A good schedule and nice students. The accommodation was very comfortable. Meals were incredible. An absolutely recommendable host.

Marlies and Mark stayed with us for just one week with their son, who is so friendly and outgoing. But during that week , they provided us with active and energetic support. If you have the chance to get a foot reflexology massage from Marlies, you should definitely take it—Marlies truly has magical hands. And at the same time, she anticipates what needs to be done without being asked and isn’t above helping with any kind of task. Mark not only cooks great meals but is also skilled with heavy equipment, which he uses to reliably and independently complete the tasks as discussed. Thanks to Mark, we also have a great swing now in one of the big trees. We had a wonderful time together and would definitely host the three of them again.

Sontje and Kevin are very friendly guests, they clean after themselves, communicate openly and are easygoing. Sontje made two really beautiful murals for us while teaching our kids in a natural way more about colors and painting. Kevin helped us also with painting walls (some of them are quite high) in different rooms and cooked delicious food for up to 9 people. They showed us their favorite games and created great game nights that way. We would host them anytime again and recommend hosting them.

I had a truly wonderful time staying with Ezio, Valeria and little Elia. From the very first moment, I felt warmly welcomed into their family and the community around them. It didn’t take long until this place started to feel like home, especially my cozy room with the beautiful ceiling fresco that I absolutely loved. The tasks were exactly as described in their profile, with no surprises. Yet every day looked a little different, bringing new opportunities to help and learn. I really appreciated being part of their community and the "Start Working" association in Pontremoli. There were so many inspiring events to join, from meditations and concerts to small gatherings at the café near the co-working space. Everyone I met was open, kind and full of positive energy; it truly felt like a special group of people and there was always laughter around. Some of my highlights were the Saturday market trips and especially the Slow Food Market, where I got to discover delicious local dishes and learn more about regional flavors and traditions. On my day off, I went hiking along the Cinque Terre which was absolutely breathtaking. Ezio and Valeria are wonderful hosts who are building something new and meaningful with great courage and passion. I also really enjoyed spending time with their little son Elia. His cheerful energy filled the house with joy, and he even taught me my very first words in Italian. Thank you so much for everything, for your kindness, the inspiring conversations and the sense of belonging you created. I’m sure our paths will cross again one day. I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a welcoming place surrounded by nature!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kayla and Kurnia in Malang. They welcomed us with so much warmth and kindness that we immediately felt like we were visiting relatives rather than staying with hosts. They made us feel truly at home and included us in their daily life in such a genuine and caring way. The experiences we had while visiting the schools and working on the different projects were unforgettable. Beyond the work itself which didn't really felt like work and more like freetime group activities, we are deeply grateful for all the cultural exchange, conversations, laughter, and memories we shared together. The generosity and hospitality of the family were truly special, and they created an environment where we felt honestly supported and appreciated. This experience meant so much to us that we are certain we will come back to visit them—and one day we will tell our children about the incredible time we had here. Even though we went to Gilli, Lombok and Bali as well Malang was our number one highlight. Thank you for everything. We will always remember our time in Malang with great gratitude and affection.

First of all, I'm grateful to have this 2 young boys here. They are so fun, cheerful, and very positive to be with. All three of my daughters likes them a lot, they bring such happiness to us. My eldest daughter feels like she have older brothers, they go together a lot to various places such as the haunted house, beach, museums, and malls. It's so funny how they reacts when people are very excited to know them at schools, or when we just walk by. They're like a famous star here and i think they enjoy it too >-

Mayu is a kind, considerate young lady who was a pleasure to host. Our week was very enjoyable and a true cultural exchange. We learnt many things about Japan and Mayu was very interested in Australia culture and language. She is keen to improve her English language skills and learnt many new words while staying with us. We were able to communicate very well and enjoyed our time with her. She was helpful and we achieved many jobs. She was always very polite and asking if she can help. I would recommend Mayu without hesitation,

Andrea and Chandra will always have a place in my heart. Andrea is a constant, loving presence; Chandra is vibrant, lively, and full of inspiration. It is a magical place, and being there makes you feel like part of a family. For me, it was a space to reconnect with myself and others, and to commit to daily activities. It’s also a space to explore one’s talents and learn new things. It is completely surrounded by nature, yet nestled at the foot of a typical Tuscan Maremma village and close to the sea as well. For me, it was an unforgettable experience. Grazie di cuore!

Thank you, Paul, Sharon and Lottie. Surrounded by lots of animals, nature and warm-hearted people, I had a truly wonderful experience. It was a priceless time. First of all, the family of three gave me a warm welcome. Although my English wasn’t perfect, they spoke to me slowly and clearly. Thanks to that, I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. I helped with tasks such as pruning raspberry bushes and cleaning the house. Both during and after these tasks, they were very considerate and we chatted a great deal in between. As they truly love their way of life, they taught me so much. I enjoyed every moment. Their daughter, is only 11 years old, but she knows so many words and things, and taught me a great deal. Thanks to her, my English skills have improved. And, above all, the food here was absolutely brilliant. They prepare almost everything from scratch themselves. Everything was fresh and full of vitality. The family is also very mindful of what they eat for the sake of their health. Although my stay was only a week, thanks to the food here, my skin is in the best condition it has been in the last three or four years. I highly recommend visiting here. An unforgettable, wonderful experience awaits you.

Hi Remy stayed my sheep farm .He was hard working adapting life style very fast . I understand tie he was staying was very challenging. I.m very happy with his help and time with him . All best from Altaa

Elli and Franzi's place was my first stop in Spain, and I am so happy about it. They told me a lot about how workawayers are misused by other hosts and I was very lucky being at their place with fair and caring conditions! They help you out a lot with sharing experiences for traveling, and I did learn a lot about construction and maintaining land at their place, too! When you are into something, you can go deeper with them, Franzi knows a lot about all kind of things and Elli is very sweet with the animals and cooks very nice!:) Overall a very sweet couple, very pretty place and the animals are lovely 🤗 very glad to have spend six weeks there, time went so fast!

Mercedez supported us during our retreats and I would highly recommend her. She is very proactive, has a strong work ethic, and brings a calm, positive energy to the environment. She is great with animals, connects easily with people, and contributes in a natural and reliable way to the overall experience. It was a pleasure having her as part of the team.

I would highly recommend Robert to any future host and project and I can tell you why; He is a clear communicator and dedicated volunteer: he let me know during our first phone conversation that he had remote working commitments that he need to uphold and that it was important for him to go to church on Sundays. He was dedicated in making sure, to the best of his ability, that these commitments did not interfere with his commitments to volunteering with me on the land and never made his personal priorities a problem I needed to solve and happily organised his time and energy making sure all commitments were respected and carried out. He was happy to take on any task and took on challenges with a positive can do attitude: We spoke from the beginning about our shared desire to learn more about cob floors and the possibility to put this into action making a cob floor for the room extension. I provided a specific book I had on this subject and some knowledge and experience I had gained regarding this project. He asked intelligent questions, did further research and tests and fully committed himself to the task with great resolve and results. He was good company and a trustworthy and independent guest: I certainly enjoyed our time together and the far reaching conversations we had which were always respectful and curious. He was able to continue working on projects without my constant involvement and I very soon came to trust him and his abilities. I was also able to leave him to house /land sit knowing everything would be clean and tidy and the plants and animals happy on my return. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours and would welcome him back anytime

I had such a wonderful experience staying with Gemma. She was warm and inviting, and incredibly generous with her home, time and conversation. The tasks set for me were straight forward enough with no time pressures. She was genuinely grateful for my help and I was very happy to play a small part in helping her business. In her home I was comfortable, well fed and it was an added bonus to have a bike to explore the city on my own time. Staying with Gemma was one of the highlights of my time in Cambodia, and a great, relaxing way to soak up the brilliant city that is Siem Reap. I’m sure I’ll be back one day and hopefully our paths will cross again!

Wow, Nikolai is something else! Super professional, values clear communication and goals, cleans up after himself (and even others), works independently, respects house rules, and is polite, friendly, and funny. He’s also very accountable. I have only good things to say about Nikolai and truly hope he comes back one day. If he applies to you, you’re very lucky to have him. We’ll miss you a lot, Nikolai! You’re always more than welcome to visit our farm again anytime

I stayed with Bec, Damian and Emily for about 3 weeks and I had a great time. the work was pretty much only yardwork but very diverse because there land is huuuge. The room for the workawayers is nice and spacious and it has a chandelier 😉. The meals that Bec provided where very tasty. Damian took me to a Soccer and a rugby game and we had some funny game nights. If you're looking for easy going hosts and want to stay near Sydney this is your place to be.

WonderInn is a beautiful place, or rather a beautiful space. It is the space of freedom, creativity, pristine nature and, uhm, beauty. Strategically located between a big river and a church, it is a visible representation of the human life as a compromise between the everchanging current of daily routines and the eternal wisdom of the divine tranquility. It inspires thoughts and motivates for actions. Jeremy and Erle do their best to live up to the tunes of the place. They invite their volunteers to be part of the action, take care of it and support the development. A newcomer learns to notice the potential and has all the tools to implement it. I cut some firewood, did some minor electrical and carpentry works, took care of the animals and felt part of the family. Every day of my almost three months here was meaningful and rewarding. Thank you, my team and family, for the amazing time together. It was nice and warm.

I feel truly blessed to have had the wonderful company and help of Mattia for the past few weeks. He is such an interesting and polite young man with a great work ethic, a very pleasant presence, excellent sense of humour, and is a good, authentic Italian cook to boot! He is quiet around the house, leaves his phone on the kitchen table while working outside, and is a deep and curious thinker with amazing integrity, and a great attitude to life. I particularly liked the way he enjoyed discovering what he liked about each piece of work, however mundane. For instance, that the ordered results of his pruning and weeding gave him genuine pleasure. He took pride in his work and never complained. He tried to speak English at all times, even during the couple of Italian football matches we watched on tv when his teams sadly weren't winning, and insisted we only used English words when we played scrabble. Above all I will remember Mattia for his abiding love of literature, particularly poetry, and all things ancient. His knowledge and recall of what he read, the places we visited, and the history behind everything, is awe-inspiring. If you have the good fortune to host Mattia you won't be disappointed. As well as having any job well done you will find his presence leaves an impression that all is not lost in this world and that there is hope for the future while people like him exist. Until next time Mattia!
