When the name Ytsen is mentioned, even after his departure, it still touches the heart of every monastic here. To us, he feels like a companion who has lived alongside us for a very long time—someone devoted to creating every possible good for the well-being of others. He is the embodiment of creativity, discipline, wisdom, independence, and humility. Through his remarkable ability to systematically resolve both software and hardware challenges, we could also see his deep cultivation in the inner, spiritual realm—an area in which he clearly possesses great natural talent. Yet despite his abilities, his humility is truly striking. In his presence, even those without comparable skills could comfortably receive his guidance and help, without ever feeling inferior or discouraged. At every moment, he showed genuine respect for others, and people consistently found confidence through him. His arrival allowed us to truly understand that there are indeed people in this world who are capable of creating limitless possibilities for the benefit of others. I find it impossible to express everything we have come to know about him—he leaves such a deep impression.

Estamos muy agradecidos con Phil y Julie por todo lo que compartimos durante su estadía. Desde el primer momento se mostraron muy amables, predispuestos y con una gran capacidad de adaptación a las condiciones actuales de nuestra casa, que se encuentra en pleno proceso de construcción. Siempre con buen humor y una actitud positiva, nos ayudaron en trabajos duros y necesarios, aportando no solo fuerza y compromiso, sino también una energía muy linda para el día a día. Además del trabajo, compartimos grandes momentos, charlas y un intercambio humano que valoramos mucho. Son personas muy buenas, respetuosas y generosas, y gracias a su ayuda hoy tenemos construido un pedacito más de nuestra casa. Les deseamos lo mejor para el resto de su viaje y ojalá nuestros caminos vuelvan a cruzarse. Lihuen les envía un saludo grande.

We would like to sincerely thank Corinne and Jach for their visit to our home and for all the help they gave us during their stay. We are in a stage where a lot of hard physical work is needed, and they were always willing, present, and committed. They helped us with demanding tasks such as building the earth platform, moving large amounts of soil, and painting the wooden posts with burned oil to protect them from humidity. They did all of this with great care, responsibility, and a very positive attitude. We are especially grateful for how well they adapted to the conditions we are currently living in, always with kindness, good vibes, and a genuine willingness to work and share. Beyond the work, we truly enjoyed the moments of conversation, the shared drinks, and the human exchange that made their stay even more meaningful. We wish them wonderful travels and great experiences ahead, and we truly hope that one day we can visit them in the south of England. Thank you both for everything you shared with us. Queremos agradecer profundamente a Corinne y Jack por su visita a nuestra casa y por toda la ayuda que nos brindaron durante su estadía. Estamos en una etapa que requiere mucho trabajo físico, y ellos siempre estuvieron predispuestos, presentes y comprometidos. Nos ayudaron con tareas exigentes como la construcción de la plataforma de tierra, el movimiento de grandes cantidades de suelo y la pintura de los postes con aceite quemado para protegerlos de la humedad. Todo lo hicieron con mucho cuidado, responsabilidad y una actitud muy positiva. Agradecemos especialmente la manera en que se adaptaron a las condiciones en las que estamos viviendo actualmente, siempre con amabilidad, buena energía y una gran disposición para trabajar y compartir. Más allá del trabajo, disfrutamos mucho los momentos de charla, los tragos compartidos y el intercambio humano, que hizo su paso por nuestra casa aún más valioso. Les deseamos excelentes viajes y hermosas experiencias, y ojalá algún día podamos visitarlos en el sur de Inglaterra. Gracias por todo lo que compartieron con nosotros.

Yasmin y Gianluca han sido, sin dudas, dos de los mejores invitados que hemos recibido en nuestra experiencia con Workaway. Desde el primer día nos sorprendieron por el clima de buena onda, alegría y energía positiva que sostuvieron en todo momento. Nuestra casa está en plena construcción, lo que implica vivir y trabajar sin muchos de los conforts habituales, y aun así ellos se adaptaron con una actitud admirable. Se alojaron en carpa y colaboraron con entusiasmo en tareas físicamente exigentes, como la realización de una zanja muy grande y el trabajo en la plataforma de la casa. Además, nos ayudaron enormemente en la organización y desarrollo de nuestro Almuerzo Milonguero, un evento de tango muy especial para nosotros, aportando no solo trabajo sino también sensibilidad, compromiso y una hermosa disposición. También realizaron fotografías y videos, ayudaron constantemente con la limpieza y las tareas cotidianas, y compartieron tiempo y juegos con nuestro hijo Ligüen, así como con nuestros animales: Juana, Arnaldo y Flora. Todo el tiempo estuvieron atentos, colaborando, cuidando el espacio y aportando desde el corazón. Son personas respetuosas, responsables, cuidadosas y, sobre todo, muy buena gente. Por todo esto, los recomendamos sin ninguna duda para cualquier proyecto o trabajo en el que participen. Esperamos de corazón volver a recibirlos en nuestra casa, que avanza semana a semana, y ojalá también reencontrarnos en junio en Suiza. ¡Gracias por tanto! Yasmin and Gianluca have truly been two of the best guests we’ve ever had through Workaway. From the very first day, we were amazed by their constant good vibes, positive energy, and joyful attitude. Our home is currently under construction, which means living and working without many usual comforts, and yet they adapted with an incredible and generous attitude. They stayed in a tent and enthusiastically helped with physically demanding tasks, such as digging a very large trench and working on the house platform. They also played a key role in supporting our Almuerzo Milonguero, a tango event that is very special to us, contributing not only with work but also with sensitivity, commitment, and genuine care. In addition, they helped us with photography and video, cleaning, daily chores, and shared beautiful moments playing with our son Ligüen, as well as with our animals: Juana, Arnaldo, and Flora. They were always attentive, collaborative, respectful of the space, and truly supportive in every possible way. They are responsible, thoughtful, kind, and simply wonderful people. For all these reasons, we recommend them wholeheartedly for any project or work experience. We truly hope to welcome them again in our home, which is progressing week by week, and hopefully to meet again in Switzerland in June. Thank you for everything!

We are deeply grateful for everything Lionwl has given. He is a sincere, upright, and wonderfully humorous person. We will never forget the praise we heard from other volunteers—we were told that he was a genius. In time, we came to see that this was truly the case. Because of him, many of the things the meditation center needed were resolved with ease, and we admired every piece of work he offered. He has a strong and solid foundation, both in woodworking skills and in wisdom. Yet beyond his abilities, what touched us most was who he is as a person—quiet, grounded, elegant, and disciplined. Every member of the meditation center felt at ease and comfortable in his presence.More than anything, we wish to say that having him with us was a true honor, and his presence will be remembered with deep appreciation.

I had such a good time at the reserve. Fulmar and her family are incredible hosts who know how to maintain a delicate balance of work, care, play, and rest. For the volunteer work, I cooked a lot, helped with bio construction projects, and cleaned out the nearby canal that provides access to water for the family and their neighbors. I had plenty of time to read and write, to go on hikes, and the kids were always excited to play if I was too. I stayed for the month of January with little trips to Palomino, Minca, and Hatonuevo to break up the weeks. Fulmar was very generous with her time, providing instruction and guidance on how to get where I needed to go. This is an excellent place to stay if you’re looking for nature, a way to contribute to something noble, and an opportunity to meet lovely people.

Sara is quiet, yet she possesses a healing smile—a truly sunny one. Being around her feels comfortable and peaceful. She is wise because when she recognizes something that benefits both herself and others, she persists in doing it. She puts her heart into everything she does, and watching her is deeply encouraging. We are so grateful that she inspires us to stay committed to actions that bring good to others and to ourselves. What we learn by her side is precisely this: true perseverance begins in a caml mind and is realized through the actions of each passing day. Thank You , Sara.

Visiting Ankara with Firat as my host was the best way to start the year. I spent three weeks there and truly feel lucky to have had this experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. Firat is a kind, attentive, and generous host with excellent communication. From the very beginning, he feels more like a friend than a host—easygoing and genuinely friendly. I felt at home the entire time, and both he and his kids are truly lovely. I was also lucky enough to meet his father, whom I hold very dear and from whom I learned so much. Günes and Deniz are two incredible kids, generous and pure-hearted. And last but not least: Lily. Lily is a very special cat who needs some time to warm up to you, but once he does, you feel truly lucky. I will miss all of you so much and hope to come back very soon to this amazing country. Sending you the biggest hug

What a wonderful experience! I spent January on Julie and Glynn's farm, planting over fifty fruit trees, cleaning drainage ditches, removing dead grass and uprooting dead trees to prevent fires in the area, building numerous concrete foundations, and undertaking many other tasks, most of which involved working with their animals. Working with Glynn and Julie will allow you to access their immense knowledge of agriculture, gardening, construction, animal care, and more. They are truly experienced in so many fields, so there's so much to learn. They truly love country life and animals. The food provided was always delicious and plentiful, often coming directly from their own garden. During my stay, I was always treated with great respect and kindness. They will be the perfect hosts for you if you too are common-sense and trustworthy people. I highly recommend staying on their farm!

We’ve truly loved sharing our time and home with Fiona. She arrived quietly early in 2026 and immediately set about learning our routines and looking for ways to help. With calm initiative, she cleaned, tidied, and thoughtfully organised several long-standing problem areas, including our garage, chicken food prep bench, bedroom wardrobes, and my sewing studio. Fiona embraced eating straight from the garden, and I’ll always have fond memories of her climbing our plum tree to harvest the fruit. With her clear understanding of what it takes to run a home well, she quickly became part of the family — helping to keep the kitchen clean and tidy, happily eating leftovers, and even entertaining our young cat. Throughout her stay, Fiona consistently felt one step ahead of us, always anticipating needs and finding ways to make our days easier. She never dropped the ball. Even now, 24 hours after her departure, I’m still discovering small examples of her quiet thoughtfulness. We found Fiona deeply inspiring. She is a wonderful example of how living and volunteering with integrity, intention, and focus truly leads to a rich and meaningful life. Words that come to mind when describing Fiona include: resilient, minimalist, hardworking, thankful, humble, creative, joyful, pragmatic, adaptable, thrifty, resourceful, generous, wise, gentle, tidy, and content.

David and Yoan spent 2 weeks heping in one of the guesthouse of the village. They contributed a lot to help the family andeveybody was super happy about them being here. I warmly recommand them !

To ma'am Anna and sir hamis😍 We're missing you guys, Thank you for such a wonderful 2 weeks you help us, from time to time we ask help.. This couple is our first new Zealand volunteers who help us so much more then what we expected.. We highly recommended if this couple apply as your volunteers they are hard working and easy and fast learners, you can trust them in terms of work..

Nina was a pleasure to host and nothing was too much trouble. Coco loved the walks and company, she is already missing Nina. Highly recommended!

We spent two weeks with O&O and T&A. There were two one-year-olds babies (one of them ours) and a toddler, so we shared the whole family's moods, with all their ups and downs. Our help mainly consisted of taking care of the house: we prepared all the meals, took care of general housekeeping, looked after the children and did the shopping. In our free time, we could spend time in the garden (except for one day, it was sunny every day!) or explore the city. It was good to share our experiences and cultures – we come from Poland, Olympia from Germany, and Olmo from Spain. We agreed 100% on how to raise children, so it was very nice to listen to each other's experiences and plans :) We would like to recommend this home as friendly and warm; we were welcomed with respect and trust.

Our stay at Giorgos and Athena's farm was really really beautiful. We had a great time and the talks we shared with both of them were really fun and nice. Right when we arrived we felt like at home, we were welcomed nicely and everything felt pretty easygoing. The animals are very lovely and we enjoyed to help out with for example preparing food for them. Apart from helping out we had more than enough freetime and the opportunity to visit nice places! Athena and Giorgos are very helping, kindhearted and nice people, we can only recommend to visit them! We also really enjoyed the Thai chi lessons we could join during our stay and would love to come by their place again.

Emma is a very lovely person. She stayed for two weeks and was a great help. She is reliable, hardworking, and works very independently. She helped with gardening, cleaning, and especially with cooking, which she did with a lot of care and skill. She is thoughtful, polite, and communicates openly when something is difficult for her. Even when she is unsure, she handles tasks responsibly and with attention. She is much more capable than she sometimes believes. I can absolutely recommend her as a Workawayer and wish her all the best for her next steps. Christine

Spent a week with Ana & Andrew, very kind, warm and welcoming people. Worked with 3 other workawayers so had great time getting to know them and the conversations. Work involved whatever projects needed doing on the house; Jordan sanded and taped door ready for painting & painted the house, Jack fixed doors that weren't shutting properly inside the house and odd carpentry jobs. Bikes we can use, 30 min walk to south beach, close to Freo. Andrew was even kind enough to drop us off to our next workaway. :) Would highly recommend

Deana came to house sit and look after our 2 labrador dogs for a week whilst we were away. We spent a very pleasant evening with her before we headed off for our holiday the next morning. Deana sent us photos and updates of our the boys whilst we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house and happy dogs with waggy tails. Deana had made us the most delicious tai butternut soup and homemade bread for when we arrived home. A lovely touch. She had also deep cleaned our rather dirty hob filters for us! Thanks Deana, it was a pleasure to meet you.

luke and I stayed at the sanctuary for just 9 short days and we had a great experience. Everyone was very kind and the cats were lovely. Especially the full-time managers, really kind and helpful people. There was a strong sense of community between the managers and volunteers. They provided really good food and there was no shortage of supplies and necessities. Thankyou everyone for having us and we wish you the best!
