Mariani (Mary) is a delightful, warm-hearted woman I had the pleasure to host for 2 weeks. We had lovely conversations about all manner of things and I learned a lot about Mary's home country, Brasil. While staying with me Mary helped prep several rooms of the house for painting, cleaned and organised all around the house, helped prepare meals, and occasionally walked the dog, (even though she'd never walked a dog before, she was a natural). She always did an amazing job and was happy to try new things. I can highly recommend Mary to any other host. She's a great catch!

My boyfriend and I stayed with Diogenes and Leonor, a kindhearted and generous couple, and it was a great experience! We worked 5h per day, mostly in the garden from 9 to 12pm and again from 2 to 4pm. Leonor cooked us delicious meals everyday. You can use the kitchen freely, we also cooked French dish for them. There isn't much to do around Combita (no hiking or activities) but you can enjoy the lovely finca which is quite big. On your day off you can visit Villa de Leyva (1h30 away). It was also a great way to practice Spanish since the host don't speak English at all, and therefore a great cultural exchange here in Colombia. Even the people in the small village are very sweet and friendly. The host's son, Julian, organised our coming and was always very helpful. It's a lovely family who has a lot to share. Thanks again !!

Our stay with Brett, despite being less than a week, was incredibly enjoyable! He was a very flexible and accommodating host with regards to the work, letting us combine hours and do full days so that we'd be able to have full days off. He was also very thorough in guiding us with the use of any machines like the log splitter and riding lawn mower and making sure we were comfortable before he let us work independently. What we really loved about our stay though were all the conversations we had over meals! He was very open to sharing stories and about himself and about his experiences. Brett fed us really well, providing us with morning tea when we worked, and 3 hearty meals everyday. His house has beautiful views, especially when you see the morning sun rises above the hills from his dining table. The room we had was really comfortable as well. We'd highly recommend Brett as a host to anyone!

esta fue mi primera experiencia en Galápagos. Lo que más me gustó es que vives rodeado de arte. me quedé unos días ayudando a Luis y Blanca y los dos son muy amables y acogedores. Las tareas son por la mayoría ayudar en el desayuno (de 6:15 a 9) y hacer unos check-ins (por el tema del inglés). La ubicación es buenísima y el trabajo sencillo. Durante mis poquitos días aquí me sentí verdaderamente en casa. Muchas gracias por todo <3

Première expérience workaway pour moi, et quelle expérience ! J'y suis restée 2 mois et demi et je ne sais pas par où commencer... - Le lieu est un vrai petit coin de paradis, bordée par une lagune dans un cratère de volcan, la vue et s'y baigner est magique. On est entouré par la nature, la végétation et les animaux, les chants des oiseaux est la musique qui émerveille chaque jours avec les singes hurleurs qui viennent vous rendre visite, un véritable endroit pour se ressourcer et en prendre pleins les yeux ! - La nourriture est un mélange de plats français et Nica, c'était juste délicieux et les cocktails sont les meilleurs que j'ai pu goûter au Nicaragua. - Le staff est toujours souriant, polie, adorable, il a été très facile de créer des liens avec eux et très difficile des les quitter... - Mon travail à été de réaliser du contenu pour leurs réseaux sociaux, Iban et Rafa m'ont fait confiance et m'ont tout laisser gérer sur mon organisation, mes prises de vues, mon planning etc... et je leur en remercie car c'était important pour moi de faire les choses comme je le sentais et d'avoir cette liberté pour laisser exprimé ma créativité. J'aimerai enfin parler de mes hôtes, Iban et Rafa, car on garde le meilleur pour la fin. Je vous remercie du fond du cœur car grâce à vous j'ai pu vivre une belle aventure, de belles rencontres, une expérience incroyable, partager et apprendre, et tout cela m'a beaucoup apporté et je pense fortement que ça m'a changé. Je me suis sentie épaulée, soutenue, gratifiée. Vous avez été présent pour moi à chaque instant. Merci d'être vous, merci pour tout <3 Je vous en serais toujours reconnaissante ! On reste en contact :)

Très bonne experience dans cette auberge, elle est propre et bien entretenue. J ai passé 3 semaines la ba et j aurais pu rester plus on s y sent très bien.

fue un placer pasar un rato con César y Julio :) la comunicación es suficiente ayudé por la mayoría con la traducción de los tours y un poco con la limpieza. César puede responder a todo tipo de preguntas y tiene unos conocimientos muy profundizados. encontré comida en la cocina y en el jardín, y sobres del restaurante después del domingo. El horario suele ser de 9 a 11/12 por el primer tour, con la tarde libre. César siempre está dispuesto a comer juntos y charlar :) Si eres una persona adaptable y amante de la naturaleza, te recomiendo hacer voluntariado aquí. Gracias también a los otros dos voluntarios por la compañía <3 os deseo lo mejor, cuídaos y espero volver a visitaros ;) un abrazo ps. el último bus de Puerto Ayora sale del mercado sobre las 17:05, a veces puedes conseguirlo cuando llegas con la lancha de las 15 de otra isla y te puedes ahorrar 7$ del taxi más barato

Milena was a super star with working .We gave her the task of beautifying a small Casita which involved sanding varnishing and painting .She worked meticulously ,was always on time and has a great wirk ethic.She is intelligent and loves to surf.We also all enjoyed lostening to her sing .We would highly recommend her as a volunteer .

I spent two wonderful months in Kilpisjärvi at Karoliina's house. The whole family is incredible, everyone has their own unique personality and is incredibly calm, kind, and trusting. They made me feel at home, always inviting me to participate in their activities and giving me my own space. The time flew by much faster than I would have thought, with all the activities we shared that week. From my perspective, I couldn't have had a better experience. I've grown so much and want to came back to tiny, isolated Kilpisjärvi. Leaving was really hard, and I miss you all so much. A warm hug to the whole family and staff Letizia 😊

Fue un verdadero gusto conocer a Berta y Edu! Vivieron en la Warmi Wasi para 3 semanas. Ha sido muy agradable trabajar con ellos: los dos son amables, personas muy lindas, colaboradores y pendientes de cómo ayudarnos :) Gracias, ojalá vuelvan a visitarnos!

Owen has been an incredible support in teaching our grade 8 students. His ability and patience to connect with learners truly stood out. He had this warm smile creating a warm and positive feeling. Over time, he became more than just a volunteer, he became one of us. His presence brought both professionalism and a sense of belonging making it easy to appreciate the value he added . He will be greatly missed by all of us. Wishing him nothing but the best and hope to see each other again.

Sarah es una chica increíble, siempre dispuesta a trabajar y de buen humor, siempre que quiera regresar será bienvenida.

I was in New Zealand for the better part of two months, and these folks were my first hosts. And what a treat they were. The work tasks were well thought-out, and easily communicated. And it felt good to see it done. And more importantly, Margie made time to drive me around to all the pretty sights and fun activities Taranaki had to offer

I had a wonderful experience staying with Liz for around three weeks. Even though she wasn’t usually hosting Workawayers when I reached out, she welcomed me warmly into her city house. During my stay, I helped with tasks like taping, lunch prep, walking the dog, folding laundry, watering plants, cleaning the fridge, fireplace, basement bedroom and bathroom ceiling, and doing dishes. I truly enjoyed our conversations, and her dog Goose is incredibly sweet. The neighborhood is peaceful and pleasant. While it’s a bit farther from the city center, it’s very convenient if you can use the train, and I loved walking around the quiet streets. I also spent a few days at her lovely daughter’s home, helping with taping, painting, and cleaning. Our exchanges were inspiring, and I already miss her! I highly recommend staying with Liz and her family, they made my stay a truly pleasant experience!

Nos dio mucho gusto la visita de Susan & Whitney, siempre dispuestos a trabajar y convivir, Susan me dio algunos consejos de carpintería que ella recibió de su padre, muy útiles y los valoro mucho, ambos son personas increíbles, muchas gracias por su ayuda.

Tanja and Klaus were such a pleasure to host, we’d have them back anytime. They’re both warm, easygoing, and just lovely to have around. Tanja brings a calm, positive energy, and Klaus is very composed and steady, which made everything feel easy from the start. They helped with a range of projects, from building stairs and cleaning the concrete path to repotting plants, spreading mulch, and rebuilding the outdoor room. Klaus’s carpentry skills were a real bonus. They took initiative, worked well, and were always happy to help. We shared some really nice moments too, cooking, making chutney, and enjoying meals together, often with Klaus saying “that’s really good,” which we loved. Even our dog Pinot has been missing them since they left. All in all, a truly lovely couple, kind, reliable, and a joy to have around. We miss you guys Mike, Eva and Pinot

Fue una gran experiencia la visita de Wilfred, siempre con buena actitud para ayudar en las labores del rancho, muy respetuoso y creo que fue un intercambio de conocimientos mutuos, descubrimos que es muy buen bailarín. 100% recomendable y será bienvenido si desea regresar.

After Blaise contacted me and proceeded to ‘push’ for return contact within 24 hours, we arranged a mutually suitable time for his experience and stay with us. After several emails back and forth, we had a day and time booked to meet. Since that moment he has simply ‘ghosted’ us. Not replying to any of my further emails, enquiring if he was still coming, or even whether he was ok! Unscrupulous in my opinion, whilst juggling professional work commitments, materials purchase for our hosting Blaise, and child-care planning, I feel the minimum he could do, is to confirm or cancel his exchange with us.

I had an awesome time at Bonanza in Ovar! Together with the other volunteer I took care of feeding the horses, mucking and lots of horse back riding! It was great to be out in nature, explore the woods and beaches and cuddle the horses. Although the beginning of my stay was a bit muddy, we had lovely weather at the end. I was very happy to meet Carine at the end of my stay (I replaced her during her holidays so we almost missed eachother) and I would love to come back one day! All the best, Mirjam

Aude and Nina are the best! They are excellent workers and even better company. We had a great time I feel like we've known each other for years. I hope they don't like their new assignment because I want them to come back. They were excellent at keeping the house tidy cleaning up after I cooked and best of all took great care of my dogs. I think my dogs are even sadder than I am without them. Grab them if you can, you would be very lucky to have them as part of your work away home.
