We enjoyed every minute of James’s help, company, energy, conversation, and enthusiasm for life. James was a very good worker and extremely flexible on the tasks we asked him to perform. He really was amazing support in our community work and group building projects we were participating in at the time. He was not afraid to jump in to help even if it meant using a lot of gestures, eye contact and charades to communicate past the language barrier that existed with our Spanish speaking neighbors. He put in a lot of work and effort into power washing for us and we quickly noticed he is happy to say Yes to everything. We shared some really meaningful conversations and he has offered very uplifting and inspiring perspectives on life. We appreciate the time James spent with us!

We had such a wonderful experience staying with Torben and Lotte during the month of October. The work on the farm was both meaningful and enjoyable, the accommodations were stellar, and Torben, Lotte, and Annette were truly a joy to spend time with and learn from. We immediately felt at home here, and we had a hard time leaving this beautiful place! We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our time here, and we could not recommend this workaway experience more.

Roxi es un amor!! Positive, energetic and good friend.. she is an easy person love helping others and very open to connect in any way possible!

Berenika has been here at our place for a little more than 5 weeks, and it has been absolutely fantastic to have her here. So helpful in every way, and with so many skills. Cooking the best meals, taking care of the house, sorted my books, helping in the garden and much much more. It also turned out that Berenika has skills in woodchopping and to take down trees. We took down a 25 m high pinetree together and I could see that using chainsaw, axe and other tools was no problem for her. We have also had many jouful moments, celebrating both hers and my birthday. I will miss you dear Berenika. All the best.

My time with Anne & Moriz was really valuable to me. It was my very first Workaway experience, which I found quite spontaneously, so I was even more grateful that they welcomed me so quickly and easily. I learned a lot in a short amount of time. Together with Valentin and two other Workawayers, we built a really cool stone wall, which I honestly loved doing. Can’t wait to built my own DIY walls some day! 😎 Alongside my laptop work, it was a perfect break to do some manual work and helped me clear my mind. 😋 My absolute highlight was the sweet dog Nelly, who got plenty of cuddle time from me. And of course, I can’t forget Anne’s unbelievably delicious meals! Thank you so much for the great experience and for trusting me!

Oday and Vija were both very chilled. They welcomed me to the hostel family very easy and I kind of went with the flow. I was teaching once sometimes 2 times a day according to the occupation that day. I had always nice room and kitchen access to make my own meal. I recommend the place for any new workaway guys who are lookong for more free time. Thank you!

Tomás stayed with us for almost three weeks and we really enjoyed working with him - and also the occassional card game! He took great care of all our animals - whether it was the horses, our wild boar, the chickens and ducks or our lovely cats. Tomás´ open mind always showed as he is very interested in a variety of topics, always ready to offer a hand and Tomás also got his hands on some tasks around the garden and preparing wood for the oven. Always ready to help, with a friendly smile and a positive attitude. Tomás stayed with us during a time with three other helpers and fit in the team perfectly. We wish you all the best and would welcome you back any time!

Thank you for your kind words. It was really great having you here and sharing this time together. We’re so glad you enjoyed the classes, the students, and life in Istanbul. You brought a lovely energy to the group, and it was a pleasure to work alongside you. You’re always welcome back hope to see you again soon.

It was such amazing experience for being with Jade Recorbet from France at our foundation. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your extraordinary dedication to the less privileged children of Gomba District, Uganda. Your selfless service, teaching children with passion, playing joyfully, showering them with genuine love, cooking, gardening and powerfully supporting our fundraising campaign, has brought light and hope where it was needed most. You have touched countless young lives and strengthened our foundation in ways words can scarcely express. Please keep shining your beautiful light. May the good Lord bless and reward you abundantly for every smile you have given and every heart you have healed. Thanks very much and the door is open for you to come back.

Francoise did everything she could to make me feel at home. Thanks :-)

I stayed for three weeks in this beautiful area with this wonderful family. It was incredibly inspiring to see how they live off-grid in the woods. I stayed in November, so it was quite cold, but there is a gas heater and the cabin is very cozy and comfortable. The food was soooo fresh, healthy, and delicious, which made the experience even better. I loved hiking to the top of the nearby mountain, and I also did a lot of creative things during my stay. It’s a great place to reconnect with myself and be part of a beautiful, warm family. One part of my stay was babysitting, which I really enjoyed. Emil is a true nature lover, and Ayla loves to draw and spend time outside collecting little treasures. Together we made small fairy houses. I’m a photographer, so I also took some family photos on the beach. I loved being able to bring my profession into this experience, and I would love to do this again with future Workaways. Another part of my stay was painting murals. I painted two murals in the children’s bedrooms. It was a very special and inspiring experience that I will always remember. One day I will come back 🤍

Alwin stayed with us for three weeks and was a great help. He is thoughtful and hardworking and always willing to offer help, even after he had already done his work, which was mostly chopping and stacking wood. He did a great job restacking our tower of Pisa woodpile and then filling the shed beautifully. He also helped with fixing a garden bed and various other tasks. He fit in seamlessly with our various social events and it was lovely to hear him sneak in some time playing the piano. He was very considerate but had a growth mindset and worked on things until he got them right - as with his piano piece and the strudel he made us twice and which was heavenly the second time. He is likely a very skilled carpenter, though we did not get to put those skills to use at the time. He would be an asset and a pleasant companion to anyone

I stayed with Holly for a few days and had such a lovely time. Thanks to the Christmas party she threw for her friends, I even got into the festive spirit! Her two dachshunds are absolutely adorable — especially when they’re caught doing exactly what they shouldn’t be doing. During my short stay, I mostly helped with house cleaning and some work on the outdoor deck. I felt comfortable the whole time and wished I could have stayed longer. Holly is a fantastic host — highly recommended! Thank you for everything, and hopefully see you again very soon! 🎄🐾

Gracias a ustedes por ser un gran aporte a nuestro proyecto. Las chicas son muy trabajadoras, comprometidas, independientes y atentas, además de alegres y risueñas. Nos encantó conocerles y esperamos que tengan un hermoso e increíble viaje. Vuelvan pronto ✨️🌳😊

We had an incredible 4 weeks with Irakli, Sali and Lily, harvesting, cultivating and planting and getting ready for winter. We learned so much about organic farming, experienced rural village life, and ate the most incredible Georgian food. We will be back in the future guys 🙏❤️‍🩹

My stay at Rich, Jane, Georgia, Emily, and Finlay’s place was truly amazing! From the very first day, they made me feel completely at home. I had the chance to help them in their daily life and share their active routine filled with sports, outdoor activities, board games, and lots of laughter. I also discovered the world of racehorses and explored a beautiful region. Every day was different and meaningful. I stayed with them for one month and was truly sad to leave. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience and I hope our paths cross again soon :) xx

Avery was a confident volunteer who brought a lot of positive energy with her. She was comfortable handling responsibilities, especially when it came to interacting with animals. She was dependable, followed rules, and blended in well with the team and other guests. She contributed meaningfully during her time here, and is welcome back here anytime. :)

I looked after the farm for Ralph and Marion for almost five months. From the very first time we met, I perceived them both as very warm and kind people. The time there did me a lot of good, lots of peace and nature. I became especially fond of the cats, Nepomuk and Freddy. The two of them were always available as points of contact whenever the time difference allowed. Their son Bruno was also always reachable and, by prior arrangement, sometimes looked after things for a weekend. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay. We will definitely stay in touch. Kind regards, Robin

Deep in the hills lies this beautiful project. We were five workawayers, and it was a great team where everyone had their own unique strengths. Lots of laughter, despite the rain. Worked indoors when it rained and outdoors when possible. Delicious food thanks to the culinary skills of some of the team members. Janina responded to your message very quickly, which is fantastic. Lorien, who leads the team wonderfully, works hard in and around the house. It was a wonderful week surrounded by wonderful people. I hope to return to this beautiful location again in the spring.

I spent one week with Miguel in November, and it was an unforgettable experience. The farm is located high in the mountains, far from the noise of any city. The views are absolutely majestic! Miguel is an incredibly kind and funny host. Even though my Spanish is limited, he was very patient with me and I managed to learn a lot during my stay. We also spent a couple of nights in Santo Tomé, which was a lovely addition to the trip. The atmosphere is very relaxed. If you go in winter, definitely bring warm clothes, but don't worry—inside there is a fireplace that will keep you cozy. While there are amazing trails for hiking, I spent a lot of my time enjoying the peace, talking and reading by the fire.The house cat is the sweetest companion you could ask for! If you want to experience authentic mountain life and slow down for a while, I highly recommend visiting Miguel!
