I would welcome Gabriele back onboard anytime.  He's a young guy but very mature, hardworking, respectful, repsonsible and personable.  Lots of funny stories to share and I'm sure many more in the making.  We had three weeks of suffering through dirty, dusty, loud work, grinding, sanding and painting of the hull on hardstand.  Always a great attitude whether it was for the work or exploring the area. For life onboard he's got a great balance between being chill yet mindful. He takes care of what needs doing with no fuss. Really makes life easy for the captain. Clever in the galley too. Whipped up some great meals. He'd make a great addition to anyone's team.

Alina stayed with us at my place in Bangkok for three weeks and was a truly wonderful volunteer. She has a very kind, thoughtful, and gentle personality, and it was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. During her stay she helped care for 15 rescue dogs and even shared her room with three of them, making sure they felt safe and comfortable. This requires patience and dedication, and she handled it with great care and compassion. Alina was very attentive to the dogs’ needs and always treated them with kindness and respect. Rescue dogs often require sensitivity and understanding, and she showed both naturally. The dogs quickly trusted her, which says a lot about her calm and caring nature. She was also very respectful of the home environment. She kept her room very tidy throughout her stay and kindly cleaned the room carefully before leaving, which we truly appreciated. It shows her thoughtful and considerate character. It was a pleasure to host her during these three weeks. She brought kindness, responsibility, and positive energy to our home and project. We highly recommend Alina to any future host, and she will always be welcome back at my doggie home ; )

As one of our winter season long staff members Ross stayed with us long term. A winter season is a tough gig at times and really requires patience, flexibility and a cooler head than my own. Ross never let us down here. Ross was a fantastic team member and an even better individual. Ross's ability to adapt throughout the season to the working conditions and the household was nothing short of perfect. Ross's attitude is calm and collected and we can see excellent leadership qualities in him. We were able to trust Ross with duties that required confidence and critical thinking at times in which he adapted to fast and excelled. Ross not only mixed well with others but openly joined in on everything and was extremely supportive. We can all use a Ross in our team.

We had an amazing time staying with Sokear and his family and teaching at his school. We taught 2 English classes every day (~4 hours teaching, 1 hour of preparation) and really enjoyed spending time with the kids and see how much fun they had learning English. For teaching you don't need to have any experience. An intermediate level of English and fun working and playing with kids is enough. Also, the two main teachers Lin and Sen are always there to help. We slept directly at the main school and were provided with a private bedroom and bathroom. Sokear and his family made us feel really welcome, shared plenty of time, laughs and dinner partys with us and showed us around the village. His wife Seanet cooked very delicous und fresh every day. On the weekend Sokear even took us on a full-day trip where we visited a farm, an old temple and went swimming in a pagoda. We can fully recommend this workaway to everyone. Thank you again, Sokear, for this great time. We will come back!

Ben stayed with us for about a month, and honestly it felt far too short. He integrated into the family very naturally and was always ready to help in any way he could. He was proactive, conscientious with the animals, and consistently delivered his best without cutting corners. Whether it was daily work or unexpected tasks, he approached everything seriously and with a great attitude. Beyond the work itself, Ben’s personality made him a real pleasure to have around. He is easygoing, thoughtful, and simply a very positive presence in the house during both work and relaxed moments. At one point my wife and I asked him how his wife ever manages to get anything done around the house, since she must spend most of her time simply admiring the fact that she’s got Ben around. When he told us he didn’t have a wife, my wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief and said, “What?!” In any case, we can confidently award Ben the Steve Irwin Award for Ozzi excellence with animals and general good spirit, at least until we meet a better Australian, which seems highly unlikely. We would happily welcome him back anytime.

Fabian & Franceska were very helpful during their stay. They are easy going, kind, and generous with their time. Their professionality, logical planning, and tons of computer work really made a difference for us. They helped with a lot of things that advanced our project and were quite flexible when plans abruptly changed. They are a joy to host and an asset to the workaway platform. I recommend anyone host them for your projects.

As 1 of our long term winter workaways, Kassie joined us as a staff member for the season. When interviewing Kassie I was quite sceptical because of her age however she was understanding of our reservations and promised to not let us down. To live onsite with management and other staff for what is a essentially a rollercoaster of a season is not easy. Kassie exceeded all our expectations. Kass's attitude towards work, her willingness to listen and learn and her flexibility to adapt to situations with weather and other commitments were a standout. Work aside Kassie is an excellent human, her patient and chilled personality was a perfect fit for our household. What impressed me the most about Kass was her open minded approach and confidence to try anything. We were very grateful to have hosted her and we sincerely hope to have her again one day. Whether its in a team or solo we highly recommend.

Nous avons séjourné pendant 1 semaine dans le logement tout confort et en toute indépendance que propose Caro. Une liste bien précise des actions a effectuer nous a été remise et trés clairement expliquée. Une relation simple et efficace car Caro répondait à toutes nos questions et elle a l habitude de recevoir des workaway. Nous avons aussi apprécié de pouvoir gérer nos heures de travail en fonction de nos envies afin de visiter également la belle région de Roturua. Merci à Caro pour ce bel échange.

Irina es una maravilla de persona. Pasamos casi dos semanas con ella y sus animales . La verdad ,una semana después aún los echamos de menos(de verdad). Generamos una linda conexión. Irina está abierta a propuestas y lo que quiere es lo mejor para el espacio, sus animales y ella. Os queremos, mucho!

my girlfriend and l stayed for 5 nights at Rubeenson place and it was a really unique and beautiful experience! Narangala is a perfect place for everyone who likes to be surrounded by nature and a slow living, and getting in touch with the extremely friendly and helpful locals. At Rubeensons place itself we felt very comfortable and had an incredible time there. His parents are so welcoming and helpful and always checked that we are not missing anything. His mum's dishes were so delicious! one of the best Sri Lankan dishes we had during our stay in Sri Lanka We spent so much time enjoying the surroundings after work/during our work break or just enjoying the quietness of Rubeenson's place, while sitting on the terrace and reading books or playing games. There is a waterfall basically next to his parents house where you can go to wash your clothing, having some little swims or just to relax. Rubeenson brought us one day for hiking up a mountain with a group of Sri Lankan students and also to the new moon festival to a small village which was definitely the highlight of our stay! The people there were so lovely and welcoming and even tho we couldn't understand each other very well, we could make a conversation going with hands and feet. It was very beautiful to see how they celebrate important festivals and how they are welcoming strangers to be one of them. Rubeenson itself is a very kind, welcoming and helpful person. He always made sure that we are alright and having a good time. He has a lot of knowledge about Sri Lanka and its history, besides that it was nice having conversations with him because he is very curious about other peoples cultures and way of living. Also a big plus and which made us happy is, that he accepts LGBTQA and you dont need to hide who you are, since its still a tricky thing in Sri Lanka. Thank you very much for hosting us, showing us around and letting us be part of your family and this beautiful place!😊

Lila, JaySri and Dami are a really beautiful cool family and we're so grateful to have spent 3 weeks with them on their beautiful vegan farm ☺️ we mostly worked on house and outdoor repairs (learned to tile, to mix cement) with a bit of cooking and garden things mixed in here and there 🌼 the atmosphere is really great, the other volunteers, the veg&vegan meals are so so amazing, the nearby waterfall is beautiful (someone needs to show you the way though you'll never find it on your own), and sometimes weekend trips events or house/karaoke parties are fun, the doggos are very sweet and the houses and rooms are comfy 🌟✨ Lila & JaySri are really open, giving and hard-working fun people you'll love 🥰 thank you so so much and we'd love to come back here if we make it back to Tasmania 🌸

Paulina is a super hard worker, allways helpfull with a smile allways on her face :), she cook for all of us, she help us with some building projects that we have now going on, allways giving good ideas, and help doing everything, thank you alot for all your help here!!! Hope you enjoy all the trip forever jeje :)

We had such a great time staying with Carl – definitely our best Workaway stay so far. From the moment we arrived he made us feel really welcome and did everything he could to make sure we felt comfortable. He also really took the time for us, and we had lots of good conversations during the week. Right at the beginning he took us for a ride on his motorcycle, which was a pretty fun start to the week. During our stay he also took us out on his boat to show us some hot springs in the river, and one of the biggest highlights was flying with him in his helicopter to Tongariro National Park – not exactly an everyday Workaway experience! On top of that, the work was always fair and never too hard. Carl is always up for a bit of fun and we had a lot of laughs during the week. And who knows – maybe Paulina will even meet the man of her life through the Hinge account he put so much effort into setting up for her. The week went by way too fast and we definitely would have stayed longer if we could. We can really recommend staying with Carl and just want to say thanks again for everything! 😊

I stayed with Angela for about half a month. It was my first Workaway experience. After two weeks in Dublin, caught up in the frenzy of enclosing my future, I wanted to experience the real Ireland. In Ballinamore, I found a welcoming branch to nestle on. Angela is a thriving woman whose life has never bloomed with the same flowers. She has flourished in visual arts, feminism, psychotherapy, Tibetan support, poetry... it's impossible not to absorb some of her life's determination. Conversing with her comes naturally. She refined my passion for Irish literature as she introduced me to great writers like McGahern and Dealy. Moreover, through her first-hand account of the British oppression in Belfast, one becomes more aware of Ireland's troubled history. Her partner, Eamon, has a library inside his head; on the evenings he came for dinner, I wished I could have consulted it all night long. The job involves cooking, washing dishes, and walking the dog: Luca is incredibly intelligent - it’s a shame she doesn't have opposable paws. I will miss reciting Yeats's poems on walks while Luca sniffed for the tracks of the Stolen Child.

Having Pola with us for few weeks was so lovely. We all had a great time with her and loved our chats , meals & afternoons together. She was always happy to help out and she is an easy person to talk to. We will see you somewhere else in the world dear Polina ! X

Siamo stati nella fattoria di Christian e la sua famiglia per più di una settimana e il tempo è volato velocissimo! Tra il lavoro con i lama e altri bellissimi animaletti, il giardino botanico, passeggiate meravigliose e molte avventure, abbiamo trascorso insieme del tempo super ben condiviso! Ci siamo sentiti accolti fin dal primo istante da tutta la famiglia e Christian è super disponibile e attento. Raccomandiamo a tutti di passare per questa fantastica fattoria e di bere insieme a Christian il batido di taxo 😋🌞🥰

This place and the horses are truly something special. We arrived here last minute and were given a very warm welcome. The work is not hard, involves three tasks a day, and is very connected to the horses. It was beautiful to see how well even very old horses can be cared for and enjoy their lives. Hillary knows so much about the horses, and it was really fun and interesting to learn from her. During our stay, we were also able to visit Sun Peaks and Kamloops on our days off. The Workaway accommodation is not very big, but it has everything you need. It’s cozy and warm, and Debs is always there to help if anything comes up. As a couple, our room was maybe a little small, but we are still very happy that we got to experience this place, the animals, and the wonderful people there. We would definitely recommend this place!

I had a wonderful two weeks staying with Freddy here, Chincha. The highlight of my stay was working on a mural - a work of art which I didn't know I was capable of producing and a process which has given me so many new skills. I also helped with the animals every day and I already miss Lulu who is a very lovable dog. Freddy is a wonderful host who is very kind and ready to help with anything you need. This is really an amazing place and I highly recommend going there if you have the opportunity. I would love to go back one day.

I volunteered at this hostel in January-February this year for 2 weeks and I wish I stayed longer (so I will most likely come back). Josie the manager is super down to earth, fun, friendly , and easy to talk to if there are any problems. 10/10. Jerico the town is a hidden gem, and definetly worth the visit if you want to dive into traditional Colombian culture. There are lots of local cafes and restaurants selling cheap quality food, as well as a supermarket and quite a lot of smaller stores to get fresh fruit and veg if you want to cook back at the hostel. As well as this, there are many places to hike and explore around the surrounding area of Jerico. My main concern coming here was thinking I may be bored at times, but I always found something to do whether it was talking to other guests or volunteers at the hostel, trying new foods or hiking. The work itself was completely fine and included simple tasks cleaning around and making sure guests were all fine. Would recommend this Workaway to anyone visiting Colombia!!!

Alexis and Hugo stayed with us for almost two weeks and helped a lot around the property. During their stay, they harvested all our garlic, prepared the beds with manure for the next crops, chopped and organized the firewood, and also helped us prepare some really tasty French meals. We truly enjoyed their company. They are both very nice people—friendly, easy to talk with, and great to have around. We really appreciate all their help and wish them the very best in their future travel plans.
