Tenía un tiempo muy especial y único! Estoy muy agradecida haber tenido la posibilidad de estar con Ghila y su familia. Los animales y toda la gente tienen un espacio en mi corazón y pude aprender mucho. Fue un intercambio muy lindo y me quedé más tiempo que pensaba. He trabajado mucho en la huerta, limpiar cabañas, pintar, cosechar, etc. todos taeres que me gustan mucho. La parte del Yoga, las sanaciones, el tarot, los conciertos y el restaurante vegano son tremendamente especiales y lindos! Si eres responsable, flexible, abierto y si te gusta la magia eso es tu lugar! 🪄 Además me hice amigos para la vida! :) Gracias 🤍

Rubina! We are so happy to have met you and spent these amazing 3 weeks with you. We’re sad to see you leave and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution not only to the students, but to the teachers as well. Your kindness and friendliness will truly be missed. We appreciate all the knowledge and teaching techniques you’ve shared with the teachers as they are very valuable to us. We hope you’ve enjoyed our school and little village, and we wish you nothing but the best for your future. Stay in touch with us and safe travels!

Alice! We are incredibly grateful to you for dedicating your time and energy to teaching English at our school. Your presence brought a wonderful spark of joy to the classroom, creating a positive and fun atmosphere that our students truly loved. It was inspiring to see how your creative approach made learning such an engaging and lighthearted experience for everyone involved. The enthusiasm you shared has left a lasting impression on our students, boosting their confidence and their passion for the English language. Thank you for your kindness and for making such a meaningful difference in our school community.

This was a truly amazing place to stay and to participate as a volunteer. I had the most beautiful time in this place, where the time flies like its a dream. The community that was build in the short three weeks that we stayed felt like a family. The family members and all our lovely volunteers made this place feel like home, the dinners we got to share as well as all other activities and workshops where really heartwarming. I enjoyed all the things we where involved in, the dog shelter, the school project, cooking together and of cause all the beautiful things we got to create. Work did not feel like work, it just felt like a community where everyone shared there passions, and where we could also get involved in communal and social projects around the island. This is a place for people who like to co create together and thrive together. Thank you so much for this great experience, we would have loved to stay longer, and surely will be back.

I had a great time here! Janna, Matilde and Alex and all the staff are very kind, funny and warm and seeing the way they run this hostel has been both heart warming and a cool hands on learning experience in one! Thank you all very much I'll be back <3

I had the most wonderful five weeks working at Natalie, Chris, and Sebastian's home. What was going to be only two or three weeks somehow morphed into five, and I still felt reluctant to leave at the end of my stay (though excited to start traveling). Natalie is incredibly welcoming and kind and a deep thinker who loves to engage in deep talks. She gave me some really sound advice about some things that were on my mind, and she even helped me find the van I purchased. She is a problem-solver and comes up with practical solutions for everything. I learned so much from her about life, raising hens, eating well, and even about the joys of motherhood. I looked forward to waking up and spending the first part of the day outside feeding the chickens, followed by making breakfast and a café au lait to enjoy out on their big deck every morning. Then I would start on my tasks for the day, usually starting with giving the kitchen a good cleaning since our dinners run late and cleanup is always better in the morning time (if you ask me). These are some of the tasks I would do: make chicken food and feed chickens, move the young chicks outside during the day and then back in at night, collect eggs, hang laundry, line trimming, lawn mowing, harvest corn/tomatoes/passion fruit/hops, bottle homemade beer (Chris' project), deep clean the kitchen (this took multiple days to thoroughly clean and organize all the cupboards and pantry), organize the wood shed, make fresh fruit ice cream, make cheese, clean windows and wipe off fly dirt. There were more random little jobs too but these are the most memorable ones. On Wednesdays is ukulele lessons in town and I went to three of them and had great fun getting out into the community and strumming along to popular songs with a room full of other "ukulelaliens." I felt so much peace in their home and was always in good company between the three of them and their sweet (and beanie) cat Summer. Dinners are a big part of the family culture and something they pride themselves on. Chris does most of the cooking and he makes such good food that you will want to eat even when your body is telling you you're full. If you want to learn anything about cooking, Chris is eager to share his knowledge with you and tell you all about it. Conversation filled the dining room each night with stories and current events, and fun stories about previous WorkAwayers. There's not a word for it in English, but in Spanish the act of staying long after the meal is finished to keep talking is called "sobremesa." We had long sobremesas nearly every evening which I will forever look back fondly on! Thank you three for such an incredible start to my time in your beautiful country!

I had an amazing time volunteering at Mateo and Margaux’s hostel. It’s such a lovely place, only a few minutes from the ocean, and they put so much effort and energy into the hostel. The work is really nice and chill, but still interesting, and you can learn about building techniques or gardening — they are always happy to explain everything to you. The work either involves supporting the “normal” hostel routine, like preparing breakfast, cleaning the dorms and bathrooms, etc., or helping with small projects around the house. The food is amazing! They both cook so well and use a lot of vegetables from the garden. I can highly recommend this Workaway to everyone! I had the best time. Thank you so much to Mateo and Margaux for letting me volunteer and have such a great time — you are amazing :)

This is an amazong place and the people are always in the best mood. My month was amazing!

Yovana, Alain y Swami Cinco estrellas no son suficientes. Este lugar vale mucho más que eso. Estoy realmente agradecido de haberlos conocido. Gracias a esta familia, mi tiempo en Bolivia se convirtió en una experiencia increíblemente enriquecedora. Aquí pude disfrutar de la naturaleza, convivir con los animales, jugar fútbol y sudar juntos, y también salir al pueblo algunas veces. Cada momento fue especial y se convirtió en uno de los recuerdos más inolvidables de mi vida. Pero sobre todo, siempre me hicieron sentir seguro y cuidado. Siempre estaban atentos, preguntando cómo estábamos y trabajando duro para que los voluntarios se sintieran bien. No me recibieron solo como voluntario, sino como parte de la familia. Por eso me sentí muy feliz aquí, y al mismo tiempo muy triste al tener que irme. Cuando llegó el momento de despedirme, incluso lloré. Estoy profundamente agradecido por haber conocido a esta familia y también a las personas maravillosas con las que compartí el voluntariado durante este tiempo. Siento que fue un pequeño milagro que nuestros caminos se cruzaran. Muchas, muchas gracias. Hay cosas que simplemente no se pueden expresar completamente con palabras, y este lugar está lleno de ellas.

I spent an amazing week with Judith and Richard in February. They went above and beyond welcome me and make me feel at home. The tasks were fair and clearly explained, with a good balance between helping out and having free time to explore and spend time with the horses. I’m very grateful for the hospitality and would definitely recommend this host to other Workawayers. Thank you for a great stay!

We had such a wonderful time with Ash and Michael; they are so welcoming and warm. This was our first experience with Workaway and it was even better than we’d hoped. We got more out of it than just a work exchange, we felt like we were able to become part of a family for two weeks. For the work, it was good balance between housework and outside landscaping projects, and they’re quite flexible in terms of scheduling your hours. There’s also good public transit around and easy access to the beaches. They’re such a lovely family; their baby is an absolute bundle of joy and Dali, the dog, is so sweet and goofy! They are such incredible people, we cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for the great experience, we’re already looking forward to seeing you again!

I recomendable you do you're research before going, because I didn't. I volunteered under this captain and some of the same crew for about 4 months. But different ship, different organisation. However they kept the same acount so first two comments are unrelated to current organisation. I loved the crew but I didn't love the politics, might be different now but the captain is the same. I had my many issues with Locky and would personally never work for him again. I had a wonderful time, but working on a ship is tireing. Having plans changed, promises never coming to light, and information only being held back constantly makes it more tireing than it has to be. If you don't want to be worked to the bone ask about how many hours you'll be working. During my time I worked from 8 to 5, an hour lunch break and two half hour breaks. Was asked to work out of theses hours too. We got no real days off at sea. Would recommend to look elsewhere :) good luck!

La mia esperienza con Pierluigi è stata fantastica. Mi è piaciuto davvero molto il mio soggiorno e la sua gentilezza infinita, haha. È davvero una delle persone più gentili che abbia mai incontrato. Fa sempre tutto il possibile per rendere il tuo soggiorno più confortevole, e per questo gli sono molto grato. Ho aiutato a rendere il giardino un po’ più bello e ho dato una mano con alcune cose in casa, cosa che ho fatto con molto piacere, ovviamente. Mi ha perfino dato la sua fiducia lasciandomi stare nella sua casa per tre giorni interi mentre doveva tornare al lavoro. Incredibile. Ho anche apprezzato molto la sua compagnia e tutto il cibo fantastico che abbiamo potuto gustare insieme alla sua gentilissima sorella. Una cuoca straordinaria, davvero. È stata un’esperienza meravigliosa nella bellissima Riesi, e con un host così non si può sbagliare. Grazie mille per tutto.

Para nosotros la experiencia junto a Adriana y Manlok fue increible, de una dimensión incalculable, el impulso, compromiso y amor con el que participaron, le dieron al proyecto una energía maravillosa, estamos al servicio de los animales y para la organización, la estadía de estos hermosos seres realmente humanos, nos lleno de vitalidad, de concreción de metas y amor diario a nuestros amados animales rescatados, sinceramente entregaron toda su pasión a estos seres sintientes, siempre pensando maneras de mejorar cada lugar, aportando desde la incondicionalidad y la hermandad amorosa, creo firmemente que donde vayan son un aporte increíble y alegría diaria, fueron días de felicidad,, risas y profundidades en donde los animales estaban como prioridad de vida siempre, la consciencia de Adri y Manlok dejan huellas para bien. Estan y estaran en nuestro corazón sin fronteras, los caminos de la vida consciente van realizando encuentros significativos que perduran por siempre. Muchas gracias por haber elegido este espacio en la tierra humana. firman: las 103 almas que viven en este Santuario y están muy agradecidas... La perfección de la vida hará que nos volvamos a ver. Gracias, gracias, gracias seguro irán a iluminar otros lugares del mundo! hablando, cantando, bailando, cocinando, ayudando! los queremos..

Camellio estuvo cinco días con nosotros como voluntario en la granja. Hubo algo de confusión inicial entre las fechas de su salida, no pudo completar las dos semanas mínimas que solicitamos, sin embargo... sus cinco jornadas fueron muy productivas. Camellio sin duda fue un gran voluntario, me pudo reemplazar perfectamente durante mis días en ausencia en la granja. Voluntario con buena iniciativa y disposición para cooperar.

Fue un gran gusto recibir a Megan en la casa y comunidad. Compartimos temazcal y diferentes ceremonias, así como pláticas interesantes, siempre en armonía. Apoyó mucho con las labores del jardín y de la casa, también con las labores diarias. Una gran experiencia. Bienvenida siempre Megan :) Totalmente recomendable!

This was my first volunteer experience , and what an amazing adventure it was! Sofia and her family are exceptionally kind. I loved spending four weeks with them in the wonderful accommodation they provided. Sofia's regenerative agriculture project offers incredibly enriching learning experiences. I loved learning alongside her. She is very patient and, above all, a fantastic teacher. The tasks are varied, you will never get boried if you like working with plants and vegetables. Sofia masters perfectly English, so it's very helpfull when you do not master spanish, like me. But still, you can have good opportunities to force you to learn Chilean's spanish with the rest of the family 😍. Now she also knows some pretty good French 😜. The location is simply magical. An ideal place to discover Chilean culture and to relax in the heart of nature. With 3 dogs and 1 cat that love to spend time with you, and severals cows that like to echange some smiles with you. The atmosphere is both fun and friendly. We always work with good music playing, share long discussions, and lots of laughter. I will cherish this experience forever. Thank you to Sofia and her family for their warm welcome. If fate takes me back to Chile, I will gladly return their🤗.

I stayed with Juan for 2,5 weeks and I had the best time there. The house is located in the middle of the most beautiful nature with mountains in the backyard and the lake just 5 minutes walk away. The neighborhood was also very friendly and I felt like home. Juan is a very generous host. He has a good sense of humour, is very caring and I could tell that he really wanted me to have a good time at his place. I could schedule my tasks in a flexible way so there was time to go hiking, kayaking and chill by the lake whenever I wanted. I took care of the horses, did some cleaning and basic household tasks and took care of Max - the most adorable and loving dog. I also did some wood work and for me the tasks was very meaningfull and Juan was also open for ideas. It was my first time trying to do work away ind I had a really great experience. The nature and the animals was easy to love, but the way I felt so welcome and seen was the most important thing for me. Thank you very much Juan!

We were so lucky to have Manon stay with us and cannot recommend her highly enough to any future hosts! She is a lovely girl, incredibly sweet, kind and respectful. She slotted into our family life so naturally and it truly felt like having a trusted member of the family with us. Manon kept everything super tidy, was a great help around the house, and was brilliant with our girls. She went above and beyond, and our daughters loved spending time with her. She fit so well with us as a family and those 10 days flew by. We would welcome her back without hesitation. Any family lucky enough to host her will be in great hands!

My stay in Cabrils with this amazing family was a truly wonderful experience! I spent incredible moments with Pat and her family. As soon as I arrived, I immediately felt at ease in my cozy room and with everyone's affection. I lacked nothing, the house is beautiful, I had a private bathroom, shampoo, conditioner and soap at my disposal. I also had my moment of privacy and was able to enjoy interesting and enriching conversations. They made me feel at home, I really felt very good, calm and at peace. Pat is an amazing person, dedicated, with wonderful energy, an excellent mother, cooks super well, makes super healthy food and always tried to find out what I used to eat so she could buy it for me ❤️ It was so good to be able to have the breakfast I used to have in Brazil. Oli and Albert are very intelligent, dedicated and disciplined. I thank Oli for teaching me some words in Catalan and Albert for being so funny, for acting out people so I could guess who they were and for being the best negotiator there is haha. I thank Oscar for trying to bring me closer to other people so I could go out more often and see new places 😊 Whenever I needed help, Pat was there. She patiently answered all my questions and showed genuine attention and interest in my life and well-being. Barcelona is 30km away by car and I explored the stunning region every weekend during my stay. I loved experiencing Catalan culture and meeting everyone. I will be eternally grateful for this fantastic experience and I certainly recommend Pat and her family as hosts on Workaway.
