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.

This was an excellent experience. Viola is very communicative and provides such a comfortable atmosphere for the volunteers and guests. For the month that I was at the hostel, it truly felt like a home away from home. I would love to return as a volunteer if I come back to Puerto Viejo. The accommodation for volunteers is humble but comfortable with a separate kitchen for the volunteers from the guests. The work was very reasonable and was very well organized and easy to learn. Viola was always available for questions. I could not have been happier with these arrangements.

Constanze stayed few days with my small community, which is my family. She managed to keep up very cheerful mood during her stay. She did cook a delicious meal, which reminded me my first experience with vegetarian commune in US. Constanze engaged communication with other members of community, who had lack of English language, it was very helpful. Also she shared important information from other trips she had, which encouraged me to travel too. Thanks for everything, have a great trip, Constanze👋

Elo stayed with us for 3 weeks, we would have loved to have hosted her for longer. The kids loved her and she fitted in very well, doing anything that was required of her and more. We miss her.

My time with Nabil was truly incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, my original plans for Madeira didn’t work out, so I spontaneously looked for a Workaway. He immediately offered me a spot for the next day and really enriched my time on the island. Sadly, I wasn’t very lucky with the weather, which meant most of my tasks took place indoors—cleaning, doing the dishes, etc. - but all of that was discussed beforehand. When the weather was nice, I occasionally got to walk the sweet dogs Bella & Justice and do a bit of gardening. In the summer, there will definitely be more things to do, especially with his many renovation projects—I think that will be really fun!!! Either way, my time with Nabil was truly enriching, and I grew very fond of him, the dogs, and also Pia the goat. Nabil was a very kind and warm-hearted host, and he also made it possible for me to explore more of the island. For people who love being in nature, the property and its location are an absolute highlight on top of an already wonderful experience. Thank you very much for everything! - Valerie :)

Carlos is an incredible guy proactive , always willing to work as a team. I appreciate having met you and having collaborated together.

We stayed at Rich house for 2 weeks and it is safe to say that this was one of the best weeks of our trip ! 🌞 We really had the best time at Playa El Jiote, it was amazing ! Rich is an incredible host and above all a friend, he knows a LOT of stories and jokes, you will never get bored, that’s for sure ! The meals were always a special moment, Rich is such a great cook ! The dogs Mac, Mally and Rio and the parrots Pepe, Paco and Pablo are so cute and friendly too ! And it’s without mentionning how beautiful the surroundings are 🤩 The beach and the mangrove are incredible, you will see the best sunsets of your life ! Regarding work, it was nothing too demanding. We cleaned the house and did the dishes, and walk the dogs 2times a day🤗 But really it is just a pleasure to work in such a wonderful place ! In our free time we got to enjoy the hammocs and relax🤩, go for a swim, and paddling in the mangrove !! Thank you so much again for this wonderful 2 weeks, 🌞🌿🌺 Aude and Nina

Carla and Jordis should have stayed with us for two weeks and we are so happy that they extended their staying, with their help, handwork and cheerfulness we accomplished so many things! We also had the chanches to try some amazing recipe of them and discover more about german culture, also now, a few weeks after their departure, sometimes we eat bretzel with herbs butter thinking of them ;) When left alone to work you could hear them singing together while going on, always helpful in cooking and cleaning afterwards, very flexible on how to organize the work/free time schedule, well organized and very clean in the house and very hardworking, it was a pleasure to host them!!

Die zeit auf der Finca mit Heike und Michael war wunderschön! Tolle tiere und gute und faire Aufgaben im garten, im stall und rund ums Haus. Eine Wunderschöne Umgebung und eine tolle Auszeit vom stressigen Alltag. Wir sind glücklich diese Erfahrung gemacht zu haben es war eine super wertvolle Zeit! Wir können es nur jedem empfehlen 🫶🏻🥰

La nostra esperienza con Eliana e Pedro è stata la nostra prima esperienza workaway ed è andata assolutamente oltre le nostre aspettative. I nostri host sono stati davvero ospitali e gentili. Sono stati chiari in tutte le spiegazioni dei nostri compiti e la convivenza è stata davvero piacevole. Abbiamo apprezzato la nostra cameretta indipendente con la sua splendida vista sul paese di Curití, un luogo davvero autentico per vivere e conoscere la Colombia. Abbiamo avuto l'onore di ingaggiare Eliana per una bellissima escursione trekking in un canyon della zona. Grazie ancora ai nostri host, speriamo di rivedervi!

Lili und Nao sind ein ganz liebenswertes Pärchen, das super zu uns und unseren Tieren gepasst hat. Sie waren drei Wochen bei uns und haben sich zu 100% um unsere Hunde gekümmert. Zu ihren Aufgaben gehörten auch Gartenarbeit, Hausarbeit und natürlich auch, wie immer, die Stallarbeit morgens. Sie haben alle Arbeiten Tip-top erledigt. Lili und Nao sind zwei sehr offene und ehrliche junge Menschen mit denen man auch mal Pferde stehlen kann :):) Ich kann sie jedem Host wärmstens empfehlen und wir hoffen natürlich auf ein Wiedersehen.

I was able to volunteer for a week and a half and it was awesome! This was my first workaway and I had no previous teaching experience so making my own lessons to teach got me pretty anxious before arriving. The great thing is that they have amazing local teachers that help ease you into it (and if other volunteers are there you can assist in classes with them before becoming confident to lead one yourself). The kids are so welcoming, kind, and willing to learn. Try to incorporate games as much as possible (hangman for spelling, question game for speaking, making lessons into relay races on the whiteboards:ie race to unscramble sentences). Kamnat and Rath appreciate any insight into how to further the vision as well in your downtime - working on getting the tour advertised online/in stores, how to better set up curriculum. You get amazing meals from Rath daily and if you're there over the weekend definitely take up Kamnat's offer on a day tour - so worth it! I couldn't have asked for a better workaway experience 😊

I had absolutely wonderful time with Branka! It seemed we connected straight away and it was a really pleasure to spend time with Branka. Of course, we communicated only in English so Branka had lots of exposure to the language she’s so keen to learn. She was an amazing host for me, we did things together at home, cooked together, went for hikes and walks locally and I found out so many interesting things about culture, traditions, Slovenian ways of life. I do admire Branka as a person too - full of life, warm hearted and her determination to learn English is nothing short of deepest respect. I feel Branka is now a friend for life and am deeply grateful for an opportunity to spend some time together!

Avril llegó con una mirada curiosa, aparentemente tímida. Pero no te dejes engañar. Sólo bastaron unos minutos para que tomara el control y me pusiera en mi lugar! Su experiencia fue de descubrimiento, de asombro, de exploración. El entorno se revelaba ante sus ojos y ella se emocionaba de cada momento vivido. Supo cómo acercarse a mi sin invadir mi espacio, se ganó el liderazgo de la manada sin imposiciones, sólo con mucho mucho amor! Gracias Avril por despertar la primavera en nuestro hogar, hoy también tu hogar. Ya te sabes el camino, vuelve cuando quieras!
