We cannot express how grateful we are to Rob, Ayami and his kids for a wonderful time we had in Appi. I'll consider anyone who worked for Rob lucky, he's truly the chillest boss ever! We enjoyed lots of nights sharing stories together, and at points sharing lunch/dinner together as I wanted to share my cooking with Ayami. About work: We worked at Ollies for 5 days a week, 5 hours or less, depending how busy or quiet it was. What was great was we start work in the evening so we have the whole day to do our own thing aka snowboard before we start work. The work was easy as it's a small pizza bar ran by 2 people, then 1 person towards the end of the season when the peak season started dwindling down. Others worked in a bigger restaurant. We got a room to ourselves as we're a couple, as did the other couple. Staff who came alone or with a friend shared a room with another person or two. Appi as a place is not a nightlife town, but a town focused mainly on the ski resort as it's really the only thing to do. Having a car is ideal as Appi was such a perfect base for is to travel Tohoku, and the closest big city is Morioka, which we came to love in comparison to other cities we've visited. There was a weekly trip to the grocery arranged but there is a free shuttle bus every half an hour to go to Lawson, or the train station although it runs infrequently and sometimes gets cancelled due to strong snow so always check before travelling! I will recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet ski resort, almost always no queues except weekend mornings. Perfect for beginners! Looking forward to visiting again!

I had Camille come stay on the farm for 2 months. It was a pleasure to have her. Nothing was any trouble. Anything had to be done, she got stuck in and done it. She was very good with the horses and dog's. She was a lovely friendly girl and gets on well with everyone. Any host would be lucky to have her . I wish her all the best on her journey and maybe see her some day again. Regards Ryan

We stayed with Linda and her family in Laukvik for about three weeks in February-March and it changed our lives! They welcomed us with open arms into their wonderful red house and let us sleep in a beautiful little yellow room decorated with the girls' drawings. Linda taught us how to shovel snow (there was so much of it!!!), how to clean carrots, potatoes and onions. We also helped to clean the house, especially the kitchen :) All the tasks were well within our abilities (and we are not particularly practical people hahahah) and perfectly explained by the family. With Julianne we watched some wonderful movies and baked Cinnamon Buns. Together with Sunniva too, we had a snowball fight (losing miserably — Italy simply cannot compete with Norway in that department) and played countless card games. Every evening, either Linda or Bjorn-Arvid cooked delicious and varied meals such as pizza, hake (fish), whale meat, potatoes and carrots, and soups. Bjørn-Arvid delighted us with his stories about his adventures as a sailor and a miner, sharing all the related legends and anecdotes. Everyone was always incredibly helpful and gave us the freedom to organize little "side trips" to visit the surrounding area. They took us out by car to look for moose to photograph — WHAT A SIGHT. And of course, being such a remote area, we were incredibly lucky to see the Northern Lights simply by stepping outside the front door. Needless to say, they live in one of the most beautiful places in the world!!! Linda and her family made us laugh every day and created memories with us that we will treasure forever. We’ll keep un our hearts also their beautiful cats: Fariin, Findus and Fiona. We recommend everyone to stay with Linda, Julianne, Sunniva and Bjørn-Arvid if you want to immerse yourself in Norwegian culture.

It was lovely having Bernadette and Verena stay for nearly two weeks. We quickly got into a nice work-life rhythm. I'm so grateful for all their hard work - painting, planting, cleaning, weeding. Nothing was too much and they had a great positive attitude to everything. Most common phrase heard was - "can I help you with that?" :) They also cooked delicious vegan meals and were very kind and caring with my dog, Suzi. We had some great chats about everything and enjoyed card games together too. I highly recommend this duo - they come with a great work ethic, are mature beyond their years and super easy to have around.

The six days we spent with Andrés and Florian (another Workaway volunteer) were fantastic. We really felt very welcome. The days were full of variety, and after cooking together, we enjoyed the campfire and the starry sky. The place is brilliant and the atmosphere is very warm and respectful. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much for everything.

Bridget is an intelligent ,polite and cooperative girl. I had no problem during his stay and his presence was very useful. Recommended!

We just finished a three week exchange with Rin. She was such a joy to have stay with us. Incredibly polite and respectful and always happy to give a new task a go! Rin had lots of "firsts" with us which we were so happy to be a part of. We would welcome her back in a heartbeat!

My experience here was mixed. The hostel itself is lovely, the location is great, and the family is welcoming. However, communication was a consistent issue. I arranged a 9-day stay months in advance and confirmed multiple times that a shorter stay was acceptable, despite their preference for longer-term guests. Upon arrival, there was no clear schedule or agreement. I was told I would work 5 hours per day in exchange for accommodation and food, but aside from starting at 7am, no structure or expectations were clearly communicated. On my first day, I worked around 7 hours. I made several attempts to clarify the schedule and expectations, but it was difficult to get clear answers. Even after discussing it in person and suggesting structured options, communication remained unclear. Although we eventually reached an agreement, I was uncomfortable being shown video recordings of myself taken on the property without my knowledge and being told my work was not satisfactory. I am open to feedback, but I had followed the instructions given and checked in after completing tasks. Due to the lack of clear communication and the discomfort with being recorded without consent, I decided to leave. It’s a shame, as I liked the place and had hoped for a better experience. I would recommend future guests ensure clear expectations and schedules are agreed upon in advance. I would not return.

Richard is very good and I would recommend him and host him again. He is easygoing and hard working, he is respectful of others privacy and keeps his guest cottage clean. He eats whatever is put on the table and always helps to clean up. While with us we did landscape gardening and weeding, some painting and made a nice Zen garden. He always helped at my friends house when her roof was leaking and they needed help to cover it. I like that he does not drink alcohol and was flexible with the working hours when the rain prevented us from working outside.

Gabin thanks for your help was a pleasure having you here, Gabin was fast Lerner and he have done various tasks to help ,he is also very talented with his camera , enjoy your travels hope to see you again in the near future.

we had a wonderful time staying with Aktam and his warm family. They went out of their way to immerse us into their family and traditional Uzbek life. Each day, we helped out with some of the farm work that needed to be done (digging trenches for watering the fruit trees, digging up the grape vines after winter) and I was invited to speak at Aktams university about education in the UK. We were also so lucky to join in many interesting trips, like walking into the mountains, swimming in the nearby lake, making samsa and Plov ! There wasn't a clear schedule and we were often invited to join things last minute, so if you want a clear plan or structure, it might not be your vibe but overall we had a really wonderful time with our new Uzbek family - thank you Aktam !!

Yohanna was an amazing host and I had a fantastic week with her, her lovely family and 2 other volunteers. Because of the last week of Ramadan we didn't do a lot of volunteering (as she mentioned before I arrived), but we did a lot of fun activities together (Tumpak Sewu, batik, Bromo, natural pool, ...). Through her and her family I learned so much about the Indonesian culture and about the Islam, I even joined two days of Ramadan and the family was so supportive.

I enjoyed my stay with Mark and Maze to the fullest. The place Mark created is just wonderful and I was happy to battle old man's beard, harvest the potatoes, feed the ducks and much more. Connecting with the other workawayers was heartwarming and inspiring. I definitely recommend experiencing this beautiful place.

Adrien and Elle made me feel at home from day one – their kindness and positive energy made my stay truly special. I helped with outdoor work (clearing brush, weeding, greenhouse setup, and fruit picking), and Adrien’s practical DIY skills were inspiring! Their kids are lovely, and the whole family is incredibly inclusive. Elle’s homemade seeded bread is a must-try – so good! If you want a friendly, well-organized Workaway with genuine cultural exchange, don’t hesitate. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much, Teressa, for your warm welcome and for sharing your time with me. Working with you on the future creation of your home has been a real pleasure. I also really appreciated being integrated into your life here – meeting your neighbours, your children, and your friends made the experience even more special. Wishing you all the best with the rest of your house project! I’d love to stop by again in September to visit before I leave. Keep up the great work!

Izzy and James stayed with us for just under four weeks and were the first Workawayers we have hosted. They were a pleasure to have around, and we really enjoyed hearing about all their travels and adventures. James is an experienced carpenter, and Izzy is hardworking and practical. They worked on several outdoor landscaping projects which required a good level of physical fitness and many hours of hard work. We really appreciate the great job they did in transforming our back garden. We wish them all the best in their travels.

Morgan and Rebecca stayed with us for two weeks and were a great help in the garden. They did lots of pruning and tidying up as well as collecting and spreading mulch. They also did a great job of cleaning the house and windows after the Summer holiday onslaught. I really admired the way that they got stuck in and saw each task through to the end. On a personal level they're a lovely couple to have in your midst, gracious and considerate. Thanks for your help Rebecca and Morgan and wishing you well for the rest of your adventure.

Me complace recomendar ampliamente a Silvia como instructora avanzada de yoga para oportunidades dentro de la plataforma Workaway. Durante el tiempo que colaboró con nosotros, Silvia demostró un nivel sobresaliente tanto en su práctica personal como en su capacidad para guiar a otros. Sus clases están cuidadosamente estructuradas, integrando técnicas de respiración (pranayama), alineación postural y secuencias fluidas que se adaptan a practicantes de distintos niveles, desde principiantes, como yo, hasta avanzados. Silvia posee una presencia tranquila y profesional, logrando crear un ambiente de confianza, respeto y conexión en cada sesión. Su enfoque va más allá de lo físico, fomentando también la conciencia corporal, la relajación mental y el bienestar integral de los participantes. Además, Silvia es una persona responsable, comprometida y proactiva. Se integra fácilmente en entornos comunitarios, muestra iniciativa para organizar actividades adicionales y siempre mantiene una actitud positiva y colaborativa. Su capacidad de adaptación la hace ideal para proyectos diversos, especialmente en contextos internacionales y multiculturales como los que se encuentran en Workaway. Estoy convencido de que Silvia será una valiosa aportación para cualquier anfitrión o comunidad que busque enriquecer su espacio con prácticas de bienestar de alta calidad como las de ella.

We've spend wonderfull month in the hills of Güímar — many thanks to Alex and Yarina for welcoming us! Vladimir (and his two amazing little girls!) taught us so much about organic farming and how to transform its products, all in a joyful and caring atmosphere. We loved our fellow volunteers (bonjour Irina ;) !), the peacefulness of the place, and the beautiful sunrises overlooking the sea. The little harbor of Puertito, just a few kilometers away, is full of charm :) We would definitely come back without hesitation! Alice & Julien-Yacine

Mon expérience ici était vraiment agréable, l'endroit en lui même est calme et reposant avec de magnifiques coucher de soleil. Le travail demandé était simple et laissait largement assez de temps pour surfer. Promener Wilson toujours enthousiaste était plutot un plaisir! cuisine bien équipée. Rafael est quelqu'un de très ouvert d'esprit et c'est agréable de discuter, ou de partager une session de surf avec lui. Lobitos est l'endroit parfait pour le surf!
