Shelli stayed with us for one week and was one of the best volunteers we’ve hosted. She was very helpful with preparing our agritourism place – cleaning, gardening, and organizing spaces. She was engaged, reliable, and independent. We also really enjoyed our conversations – thanks to her, we improved our English and created a very friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend her to any host!

I had a amazing time in Arequipa in the hostel. It felt from the first day like a family to me and very welcomed Erick, Manu, Luis, Angelica, Rodrico and all the other employees are so lovely. For me it was the perfect breack from traveling and stay in one place for a while. My task where diverse but i enjoyed it. From working in the Garden or helping on the Bar in the Hostel - thank you so much for this amazing experience!

We spent 2 weeks with Fredy and Chana and had the most positive experience! They were so accommodating and helpful and as a result we felt very much at home here. The volunteer work varied day-to-day, ranging from cleaning the bar, labelling and bottling in the brewery and outdoor work including painting, building and gardening. The accommodation was pleasant and cosy with all the facilities you need to cook and relax. Meliquina is a very peaceful, remote village with plenty of nice trails and routes to hike/run in your free time. There is a local supermarket around 10 minutes from the brewery which has all the supplies you need. A few local cafes and restaurants nearby but check opening times before visiting, particularly in off seasons. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend this time here, we have had such a welcoming experience and all of us have agreed this has been a highlight of our trip :)

We spent great time with Julia and she was very helpful. It was period of good weather so we manage lots of different activities and Julia was great, for all of them.

I had a lovely three weeks with Béa and Marco! They warmly welcomed me into their home and showed me a slice of their life. The work was fair and rewarding. Béa is an excellent chef, they are both kind souls. I even had the chance to meet some of their friends and family which enriched my experience greatly.

Matheus is a very nice, open-minded person, likes to help others, and is very easy to get along with. He is a dedicated and precise worker and likes to learn new things. It was very nice to have Matheus with us. He was our second volunteer from Brazil, so we had our second opportunity to enjoy and share the sweet experience of brigadeiros. A very nice aspect is that he wrote a very nice thank-you note in our mother tongue Dutch, and there wasn’t a single mistake in it! 😊

It was very nice to have Jorma and Pia with us. A lot of work has been done, we are happy for them that they could spend time in a warm country as a stark ”contrast” to the cold weather in Finland. 😊 We have had the time to exchange interests and skills. We shared the meals together and had nice discussions about a lot of different themes. And Jorma, we really liked your comment: “It feels like being on holiday and having nice things to do.” We hope this counts for all Workawayers!

If I had to choose one word to describe this experience, it would be "unforgettable" Thank you Villi, for opening your home to me. I'm taking a little piece of Iceland with me in my heart. I will miss every sunrise, every snowfall, and every sunset. Thank you so much for everything. I hope I have the opportunity to return again. A big hug to the whole team.

My time in Kelaa-Des-Sraghna has been wonderful. I just came back from one month of volunteering there. Wow. How amazing. The atmosphere at school is so great. Hassan and Abderrahim are great hosts, providing guidance and encouragement. We were also able to communicate our needs and discuss issues very openly when needed. Yassamine, who works at reception, is always so kind, welcoming and fun.Yacine was such a great guide and friend for us, planning walks and picnics, connecting us with students.The teachers at the school are very talented, so welcoming and dedicated. I learned a lot from them. The students I had the chance to work with (French and English classes) are very hard working and motivated. It was really interesting learning to lesson plan and tailor exercises to their needs. We were also provided lesson+exercise books and other resources and could always ask the other teachers for help. Usually, we had one class a day, from 8 to 9:30 PM, and sometimes more on Saturdays. Our days were free for us to explore Kelaa and the surroundings, go for hikes on the hills or to the souk, read a good book, meet with friends. About Kelaa-Des-Sraghna: the city is calm and has a lot to offer (even if most people from there that I met would say there's not much to do or see, in my opinion: not true) : great people, great food, great walks, beautiful sunsets. About the apartment: it's simple but quite comfy, and the rooftop is amazing : it's a beautiful and calm space, like a refuge (+ if you're lucky you'll meet the cutest, nicest cats there). I love my time in Kelaa-Des-Sraghna. It was such a blessing to learn from people about the culture, the language. It was my first time in Morocco and it couldn't have been better. I formed great friendships during this experience, with the other volunteers, teachers and students, and I would love to come back. Chokran bzaf for everything! Beslama !

Light blue skies, magic forests, mindful conversations, the sweetest animals ever and a bit of craziness. This list is way too short to sum up all I could experience during the month I stayed at the farm. Nala (the most caring, straightforward and fun host you could ask for) was surprised at first when I called the farm "home". But that's exactly how it felt: a home full of love. What makes this place special is that if you are open, kind and quiet enough you can really bond with every living creature: from the cats to the cows to the trees. The work can be hard sometimes (once we were building fences in the snow and freezing wind, and I swear swinging the hammer on the ladder to get the posts in the ground was no joke) but there is always a moment to cuddle with some hairy friend -I want to thank expecially the calf Tobias for his lovely hugs-. Moreover, you’ll always have two free days per week, which you can agree with Nala and spend as you like. I could never forget to mention the delicious food Nala prepared for us (pancakes, liverballs, potato salads...). Only the best organic ingredients: meat, milk and eggs are obviously from the farm. So, if you are looking for a place where you can have meaningful connections and build some muscles from the physical work, what are you waiting for to apply? Thank you again to Nala and all her friends, and thank you to Hans who was so nice to drive me back and forth to the S bahn station even if I don't speak a word of German and we were sitting silently in the car. ^^ Tschüss ❤️

Our stay with this great family had only bad side: it was too short. Both Lucie and Gilles were great hosts that mastered the art of always making you feel welcome at their home while setting rules and boundaries clearly, something we really liked. The most magical part of the Yellow House is definitely the garden where we worked most of our days and if you are lucky enough you might even have the chance to see the sprouts of what you planted. The kids were great and Sumik will be a great companion any time you have with him. Schedules are always respected and after a day's work you can always expect the most delicious meal and lots of free time to explore Prague. The metro is about a 10 minute walk and the area is well connected and calm. We hold this dear family in our hearts, so take care of them and be prepared to share some of your country's cuisine and culture with them.

If you need an animal sitter Tina is your person:) She signed up for one month of house/ animal sitting and gave our dog the best care possible! He even lost his weight from walking 4 times a day hahaha:) and was in a very upbeat state, i would even dare to say he was happier from when we left him:) Thank you Tina!!

Great,Great, Great! Anna is such a solar, funny and empathic person! It was a gift to start into the season with her Italian soul. She mastered our fences-championsship, an annual challenge at the farm. She gained muscles and a big friendship with our young cattle Tobias. Anna is very reliable, fast in learning, sees what needs to be done and living with her was like a friend moved in. She connects and respects. She makes even grumpy characters laugh. Anna brings singing and dancing sunshine along and infects you with it. She is not afraid to get full of shit or of any crazy weather-conditions. Anna was a great help in the household, very kind with the cats, an esthete in gardening (pumpkin-field), never giving up on the f***ng fences ;), always there for stable-routine and untiring in doing the embroidery on the alp-necklaces. And thank you Anna,that you were there when cat Flecki died :( We are happy to welcome her back already in July again! Otherwise the "Goodbye" would have sucked so badly. See you soon, Anna!

We had an amazing time with Eliana und Pedro. Their house is very cozy and welcoming, and Caramelo is the cutest dog in the word as well the three cats. Curiti and the hole Santader department is lovely, we had an unforgettable time! We cooked together and went on wonderful hikes. Eliana and Pedro were super eager to share their culture with us and show us Colombia through native eyes! Thank you very much Eliana and Pedro, we’ll never forget Curití!

We had the pleasure to host Jelena for about 4 weeks . Shee taught taught German and English. She was an outstanding volunteer who showed high sense of responsibility and kindness. Her classes weere always fun and fruitful. We highly recommend her! We wish her the best of luck in her life.

We had the pleasure to host Lorinda for about 4 weeks . She was responsible for teaching French and English. During her stay, She showed outstanding communication ad teaching skills. Her classes were always lively and fun. Moreover, LORINDA was cheerful and always smiling. We highly highly recommended her for future hosts. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Pia y Bau fueron un apoyo inmenso no sólo en los días que Eliana tuvo que estar trabajando por fuera, sino emocional con las crisis de salud de nuestro amado Caramelo, su sincera preocupación y acompañamiento nos hicieron esos duros días más llevaderos, si bien sólo pudimos tener una caminata fueron una muy linda compañía... Gracias por todo!

Clement volunteered in our in our center for about 3 weeks. During his stay he showed rigour and hard-work while tutoring French or as speaking partner for students learning English. He also showed interest in learning about Moroccan culture and traditions. I highly recommend him !

Jessa & Gaultier stayed with us and everything went perfectly. They work very independently, have a wide range of skills, and proactively find solutions (for example using AI) when they encounter something new. They are also flexible, reliable, and communicate clearly and pleasantly. In short: highly recommended for any host. Thank you for your help you are always welcome back!

I had a good time with the family. Daniela and Michele are nice people and an awesome team, hard workers, funny, smiley and communicative. I've been helping with the festivals which was nice to be part of but also lot of work for many hours. We could find a deal that we both were happy. I liked my experience sharing time with other volunteers and having meals all together like BBQ, ordering vietnam food... The town is tiny but has nice places to visit, river to take swim, etc. Thank you for the experience, wish you the best.
