These days with andrew were a time where we were able to learn a lot about tools and ways of constructing plaster walls. We came here with the goal to work with our hands and learn how to build things and that’s exacly what andrew gave us. Besides that, all of us cooked delicious food and walked Fred, his dog. These 10 days made me realize how simple and hard working life can be, specially living on a boat. But this is what made this experience special. Besides, what also made this all the more special was Andrew. We shared so many stories and our age gap didn’t matter, he is always very kind, respectful, gives you space and worries about your wellbeing. A modern man and a lifestyle worth knowing. Thank you again Andrew :)

What a way to begin Workaway ! This experience was truly wonderful. Our stay at Stefano and Francesca's farm was our first Workaway experience and definitely makes us want to do more, hoping to find this kind of people again. While traveling through Italy we wanted to make our trip useful, get to know new people and learn new things. All this boxes are checked ! We got to help around the farm, weeding, storing wood, feed the many animals while getting attached to each one of them (yes, even the jumping dogs), run around to gather the goats, peel peas one by one, build wood boxes,... Each day has its dose of work at our own pace. We also had the pleasure to share few evenings with Francesca, Stefano, Leonardo and Bjorn and their families too sometimes ! It was really nice to share meals with them and try to understand each other by mixing every language, which we mostly manage to do ! We had everything we needed and more, we left with our minds full of memories and our hearts full of thanks. These hosts are very brave and kind people, who are definitely worth meeting. We can't thank them enough for their warm welcome and hope that many other people will get to experience this ! (Big up to their sublime goat cheese and wonderful olive oil) Thank you so much 🌟 J&J

Everything was perfect with Itzel if you are thinking about hosting her you won’t be disappointed. She made Spanish food and was very friendly with everyone here.

Kate settled in and became part of the family very quickly. She was able to help in many ways both around the house and helping with new tech. She took hold of my animals sorting out different problems. Kate became friend and is always welcome back. There is always something to be done. Thank you from all our hearts. Safe journey onwards.

I had a great time with Eleonora and the family:) They really took me into the family and showed me the life in Montpellier. I helped with cooking, cleaning and some laundry. Montpellier is a great city, which i would love to visit again. I felt very comfortable with the kids , they are great!

I had the pleasure to join Angèle and Thomas for 4 weeks. Now I have a lot of beautiful memory's of this lovely place. They are really good to care about people and I felt comfortable and welcome. I had a lot of fun with the chestnut harvesting and I learned so much about mushroom's and about other nature stuff. Thank you so much for this time! 😊 I would recommend this place to any nature lover! 🌞

Clement is an amazing worker. Tireless, skilled at many things and v good company. In his 3 weeks with me he built a big panel and shelves for my tools; put a lovely wooden roof up; and moved huge anoint of wood into shelter. Plus many other smaller jobs. He never stops - needs to be forced into coming snd eating! Thank you so much Clement and come back!! Highly recommended

Sue was one of the best Workaway hosts I could have ever asked for. From the first day I felt very welcome and comfortable in her home. The work was always clean, well explained, and Sue made every day a little different by mixing tasks. I helped with feeding the animals and I honestly never expected that feeding pigs could be so much fun. It became one of my favorite parts of the day. Sue also made the experience very special outside of work. We shared lovely dinners at home, and she also took me out for beautiful dinners with her friends which made me feel like part of the community. She showed me around the area. I stayed in own mini casa which felt very private and comfortable, and for such a luxurious place as Workaway stay and it was truly an amazing stay. I had a wonderful time at Sue’s place and I am very grateful for this experience. I can highly recommend staying with her.

Ana and Andrew's in Hamilton Hill is one of those places that felt like home straight away; quirky, comfortable, and I was lucky enough to be there at a time with a really great group of other workawayers. I worked mainly on installing recycled decking boards on the new deck at the back of the house which was a ton of fun, exactly the kind of project I love, and Andrew matched me to it really well. The work was 15 hours a week in exchange for accommodation only which I think works well for everyone - we did some big group meals together which were lovely, but then you can also do your own meals on your own schedule if you feel like it. Ana and Andrew are wonderful people - knowledgeable, generous, exceptionally kind and caring of their workawayers, and go above and beyond to help us out. I wish I could have stayed longer!

I had a wonderful time with Joanna and Andy :) They have a lot of fun projects running including making chocolate, smoking fish, farming rabbits and plenty of fruit, so i had a wonderful time learning more about these processes :) J&A are also wonderful, open people with plenty of awesome life experiences and stories to share 😊 they are also very well integrated with the community, have a vast knowledge of the land and plants, yet constantly researching species they dont know yet. The work was balanced with free time and overall was a wonderful experience here on the island :) I would definitely recommend visiting, and wish Andy and Joanna the very best with all thats to come with all their projects ❤️

Glen and Jean are sensitive, kind, and wonderful people. I enjoyed every single moment and highly recommend them! I worked comfortably and joyfully in the permaculture garden they nurture with so much care and love, alongside lovely geese wandering freely around the beautiful land. I learned so much about permaculture, and this place is simply magical.

Statt der ursprünglich geplanten Woche habe ich fast zwei Wochen bei Carola verbracht und das hatte seine Gründe: Erstens: Carola ist eine so inspirierende Frau! Die Zeit, die ich bei ihr und in ihrem Casa Cultural war, hat mir so viele Einblicke nicht nur in die Stadt Cordoba, sondern auch - auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass es kitschig klingt - in das Leben selbst gegeben. Selten habe ich jemanden so sozial-engagierten, interessierten , nachhaltig-bewussten und spannenden kennengelernt! Mit Tipps für Umgebung, Kultur und Kunst wurde ich bestens versorgt :) Die Arbeit war vielseitig und die Absprachen mit Carola haben super geklappt. Rund um das Haus gibt es immer etwas anderes zu tun, und man lernt dabei jede Menge praktische Sachen:) Ich habe meistens um 9 Uhr angefangen, aber auch bei den Arbeitszeiten konnte man sich sehr gut abstimmen. Carola kümmert sich wirklich sehr gut darum, dass es für alle passt. Wie immer im Leben gilt hier: Kommunikation ist das Wichtigste! :) Ich danke von ganzem Herzen für diese tolle Erfahrung! 💛

They are a very friendly and polite couple. Not only did they do the beekeeping work, but they also kept the area around our house and the garden incredibly clean. They also treated us to many delicious Italian meals. They even found an exceptionally delicious wine for us at the supermarket wine shop, which doesn't have a wide selection. If you ever get the chance to spend time with them, grab it.

Amedeo spent one month in our home, helping around with the kids and general household. He is a respectful and lovely guy, always willing to help, play and start an enriching conversation about any topic. He managed to be absolutely loved and admired by our three kids, aged from 1 to 8. We only have warm words to describe our month together. Thank you very much for all your help and mouthwatering meals. We will absolutely miss you!

We had a great couple of weeks staying with Gustavo, Mariana and their two lovely dogs and cats in El Bolsón. The work for us was weeding and maintaining the raspberry bushes to have them in the best shape possible for the harvesting season in January. It was easy to watch the day go by working out in the sun with the Patagonian mountains as a backdrop. The accommodation is a cosy and self contained cabin, it has everything in there that you may need, including a fridge, stove and oven. Gustavo kindly took us to the supermarket after picking us up from El Bolson bus station to get some supplies. The area of El Bolson is beautiful and there are many things you can do when not working, including plenty of hiking, waterfall and river visits as well as going to the nearby towns for an ice cream or a beer. We would definitely recommend visiting the Rio Azul and Lago Puelo if you can. Most places to visit you will either need to walk to, catch a bus from the bottom of the hill (45 min walk) or try your luck at haciendo el dedo (hitch-hiking)! Thank you again Gustavo and Mariana for a fantastic two weeks! Chris & Yasmin

Aitana warmly welcomed me into her home and treated me with kindness and respect throughout my stay. She is a cultured, respectful, and wonderful person. I’m very grateful for this experience. Thank you 😊

Ganesh was a fantastic guest at our permaculture farm - super sincere, reliable, and kept everything spotlessly clean while fitting right into our daily flow. He shared awesome insights from his past farm and hostel volunteering, joined us for a day visit to the Khajuraho Jain temple, we discussed many topics, respected all our house rules, and even spiced up our chats with his know how on sustainable farming, hospitality, and wellness. We'd love to have him back anytime and totally recommend him to other hosts!

Thank you so much for this wonderful Workaway experience in your peaceful food forest! Your finca is a true treasure, and I felt welcome and at home from the very beginning. The warmth, cheerfulness and appreciation within the group made this experience really special. Bruno and Ana, you were so hospitable, warm, respectful, friendly, humane and grateful. That is why you are such an inspiration to me and that is why I felt so at home. A huge thank you to you both, I am so grateful that I was able to stay with you. The daily rituals, such as the early morning Puja, silent meditation and gratitude rounds, were deeply inspiring. I enjoyed many beautiful moments: meaningful conversations, singing circles, time in nature, hard work, and delicious, healthy food. Orgiva, just a 15-minute walk away, offers cozy cafés, organic shops, and many opportunities for meditation, yoga and community activities. There are also great hiking options nearby, and the sea is reachable by car. I stayed from November to December. After sunset it can get quite cold, especially since the kitchen and living areas are open. The work schedule varied depending on the tasks and weather. During olive harvest we had a few long, intensive days followed by more free time, and rainy days were usually free. A big hug to all of you!🫶

Amazing experience! Harshit, his family and everyone at kindergarten, school are fabulous! Those were two funnies weeks, discovering about the education, traditions, culture. With Dylan we could feel the open mind of Harshit and everyone there. They have given us a lot of opportunities and freedom to share our opinions, our ideas, our projects, and our creativity with them. The children are very energetic, respectful, and loving. We loved them. We will not forget the time spent there. The people were very warm and friendly with us. We are very grateful and satisfied.

Sophie stayed 3 weeks with us. Most of her stay our family was sick with influenza and she was so kind and thoughtful and run the household for us until we felt better. She also took care of our horses, cats and dog independently. We hope to see her again in the future and show her more of our life and surroundings.
