Thank you so much for everything, Mint!! My stay was only for one week, but it felt like so much more because of the wonderful environment you've created. The other volunteers and you were so incredibly welcoming, funny, and kind. It didn't take long for all of you, including the pretty cats, to feel like a real family to me. I have wonderful memories of our shared laughter and conversations. The surrounding restaurants where I could eat for free were consistently delicious, offering a great taste of the local food. Plus, the accommodation was clean and comfortable. Thanks to all of this, I was able to spend truly fulfilling and unforgettable days!!!

Boy, I had a lot of fun with Céline and Kodo staying here. They brought their little dog Esmerelda who was sweet and no trouble at all. Both of them took my four dogs on many excursions and the dogs got quite attached to them. We had so many laughs and enjoyed our dinners and after dinner talks. We got to know each other pretty well. I think both Céline and Kodo are eager to help with extra chores when asked, and are fun to have around. They even made a very special gift for me of a hand painted oracle deck with inspirational messages. Very special! I recommend them to other Workaway hosts. Thank you for passing through and I wish you both a superb future!

Alessio was respectful, reliable, and very sweet with our 3 year-old son. He is a pleasure to be around and enjoys social interaction, and is self sufficient at the same time. He is sharp and likes to figure things out. He is an asset to have around and we will miss him!

Roberto! We wanted to send a huge thank you for your incredible work as an English at our school! Your hard work and positive energy in the classroom truly made a difference. The students absolutely loved your lessons, and your enthusiasm was contagious! Plus, the amazing photos and videos you took of the students in action are a real treasure. They capture all the fun and learning perfectly, and we're so grateful to have them. Thank you again for sharing your time and talents with us. We hope to see you again soon!

It’s not easy to welcome a stranger into your home, especially when they’ll be spending time with your children. At first, I was worried it might not be a good fit, but after four weeks I left with complete gratitude for this experience. From the beginning, I felt like part of the family in every sense of the word. We shared great moments together: eating at the table, swimming in the pool, going on boat trips, riding bikes with Samuele, and much more. Veruscka was always very attentive and caring, and whenever a small problem arose, we solved it by speaking openly, something I really appreciated. I always felt safe, comfortable, and free to express my thoughts, knowing they would listen. I spent most of my time with Samuele and Veruscka, but Andrea and Alessandro were also always kind and welcoming in every interaction we had. My room was more than comfortable, with everything I could need, and the meals Veruscka prepared were always varied and delicious. I left with deep respect for the parents and the dedication they put into raising their children the right way. During my stay, I also had the chance to meet some of Samuele’s friends as well as some of Veruscka’s and Alessandro’s, which gave me the opportunity to practice my Italian. Being able to understand and speak a little bit made the experience even richer and more engaging. I truly wish the best for everyone in the family, and I hope Samuele will always keep the promise we made. Until next time, arrivederci!

I stayed here for 7 weeks. At first, I planned to stay only 4 weeks, but I fell in love with the lifestyle and the host family, so I decided to extend my stay. It was my first time in Canada, and spending the summer here turned out to be the best choice I could have made. Even though my English is not fluent, the family always supported me with patience and helped me to communicate and learn. I worked about 4 hours a day, helping with household tasks, pulling weeds, picking fruits, and sometimes cooking. One of the most memorable moments was making fresh apple juice by pressing apples ourselves. it was such a new and fun experience for me! On my days off, I enjoyed camping, swimming in the lake, and roasting marshmallows by the fire. Those moments felt magical, and I will never forget them. Jumping into the water at Davis Bay was absolutely thrilling. I highly recommend trying it! In the summer, there are many activities within the community. The Mandala Festival was truly special, and the yoga program with goats, pigs, and chickens was such a unique experience. There were also bicycles at the house, so I could easily explore nearby places. I loved hiking on the local trails, and as someone who adores the ocean, I felt so lucky to live just a 10minute walk from the sea. Watching sunsets there was breathtaking, and on clear nights, I could see the stars shining beautifully. This summer will always remain special in my heart. My room was cozy and the bed was so comfortable that I always slept well. I highly recommend this Workaway experience to anyone! Penny is a playful and lovable 10-year-old girl! And there are also two wonderful dogs in the family, and I grew to love them so much as well. And most importantly, Karen is truly an incredible person. From her way of living to the work she does, I learned so much just by being around her. Karen, I love you. you are truly inspiring!

Anastasiia was such a pleasure to have, she was great with the children she cooked some Amazing food and had great fun with the children playing games and learning, she was great fun and a great help we chatted and had some great laughs Highly recommend Anastasiia as a workawayer.

Mayté was a pleasure to have stay with us, very calm and careful with our house and children, she played games and thought the children lots of little things and they loved her we all got along great had lots of conversations and laughs, Highly recommend Mayté as a workawayer.

I had a super revitalising and inspiring stay with Deborah and Pete. I only stayed for a week, but I valued every moment of it. Deborah is incredibly smart and considerate, and she taught me so much about the land, its stories, and its people. She was always willing to answer my many questions with enthusiasm and joy. Pete has lots of entertaining stories to tell about Irish folk music, Finland, and many other things, and he always made me smile. The two of them have built something truly special together. There is something so peaceful and unique about the tranquility of the forest, the night sky, and waking up slowly in the Bedford van the next morning. The tasks were very manageable and fun, and I had plenty of free time to explore the surrounding nature. The landscape is truly breathtaking, and I got to enjoy it on various hikes. I also managed to develop an understanding of its struggles (such as the wildfires and drought), which really opened up a new connection to nature that I had never felt before. I was warmly welcomed in one of the village’s two (or three?) bars while exploring on my own. The people there are so sweet, and even though they don’t speak any English, we still managed to exchange some thoughts and share some drinks. Looking back, I got exactly what I had hoped for out of my stay. I’m looking forward to visiting again, hopefully for a bit longer next time.

Lotta came to stay with us rather last minute. She stayed one month in total. She was a pleasure to have in our busy house, very helpful and got along with everyone really well, in particular our dog. Best wishes Lotta.

Lea lived with us for two months. She adapted very well to our busy family. She was a huge help in many aspects of our lives and formed a close bond with our kids. She is very gentle, caring and conscientious. Her punctuality and reliability were much appreciated. Her English is perfect and she is independent in her travels. We thank her for her time with us and are very grateful for all of the help.

Anja and Ana are amazing and loving girls! Always with smiles on their faces and willing to help ! They volunteered during a yoga retreat, they helped in the kitchen and with our buffet style dinners. They learned and did everything so fast that they were constantly asking for more tasks. Together they were a great team!! We loved working with them, sharing meals together, hanging out and having nice conversations :) They were super nice with the local team, with the other volunteers and with our guests, it was a pleasure having them here! Thank you for all your help, we wish you the best and hopefully we'll see you again somewhere ;) !!!

I stayed at Francois and Alix's for a week, together with my friend Lisa. We had a wonderful time! Their house is very cozy and the surroundings are beautiful. Francois and Alix are kind, easygoing and flexible. They were happy eating vegan food all week (<3) and adjusted the working hours at the cottage to my working schedule as I occasionally had to work remotely. We were really happy they agreed to host us for such a short time, since originally we had planned to stay for two weeks. We definitely recommend this experience for other workawayers!

We had the great pleasure of hosting Alexia, and we couldn’t be happier with her stay. From the very beginning she showed an excellent attitude, great responsibility, and genuine interest in helping wherever it was needed. She quickly adapted to our routines and always gave her best, showing initiative and creativity in every task. Her work with our students was outstanding. They truly enjoyed every activity with her and learned a lot thanks to her energy and kindness. She has a natural talent for connecting with people, creating a positive and fun environment that motivates everyone. The feedback from our students and team was extremely positive; they all felt comfortable and inspired by her presence. Alexia is versatile, proactive, and reliable, making her an excellent fit for any kind of activity or project. She doesn’t just complete the tasks given to her . She goes beyond, adding value with her ideas and her dedication. We are very grateful for all her effort and contribution during her time with us, and we can sincerely recommend her to any host or project. She will surely exceed expectations and leave a positive impact, just as she did here. Thank you so much, Alexia . You will always be welcome with us! 🌟

Wow, what a little hurricane Matilda is. Do not let her age fool you she works harder than most 19-year-olds and is a bundle of Positive, delightful energy Matilda was an absolute delight to have around. I truly have great admiration for her. She has always working towards personal growth and looks for the positive in everything. She is in love with life. Matilda was a go-getter, not one to ever sit around idly. That went for her free time as well as her helping hours. She went golfing almost every day, she attended a rodeo, the Armstrong fair, went biking, and hiking to the movies, on and on. I hope she enjoyed staying here as much as I enjoyed having her here. I hope we will stay in touch. I wish her all the best, and if you are fortunate enough to cross paths with Matilda. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Matilda for everything you did.

My experience with Sara, Roland and their family at the farmstead was nothing less than lovely and so much more. Thanks to my lucky timing and the easy and straightforward comunication I was able to come the second day! With a warm welcome and a good nights sleep I got introduced to the the family regime, given free choice of preference, instantly felt like a part of the family and all that never changed! The work it self was very interesting and diverse, with the help from the kids, the epic views at the beginning of fall and constant reminders to take a break and not work overtime... it was hard not to be amazed by the romanticism of it all. On a sunday I was lied to and told there would be no work for me and hence "forced" to go for a hike of which there is an abundance in the area only to come back to Roland working. One day Sara even took me with her friends to a local art exhibit, coffee and desert after and then to her mother's beautifull house which is just on the other side of the hill, but I wouldn't dare spoil the surprise of what that is like. The children are amazing as well, but you'll find that out on your own not only at true family dinners, but every chance you give them. I missed them as soon as I had left (granted, the family gathering to tell me goodbye played it's part haha). Over all lovely is an understatement. It was an introduction of Switzerland I couldn't have hoped for. All my love, I hope to come back one day

This was my very first Workaway experience, and honestly, everything was beyond perfect. Roman and Tereza are the warmest and kindest hosts you could ever hope to meet. From day one, they welcomed me into their home like family. I got to enjoy so many delicious Czech dishes—Roman even taught me how to make Baileys! They were always making sure I was well-fed and never too tired, often telling me to relax whenever I looked like I needed a break. They also gave me so many thoughtful tips for places to visit on my days off. Whether it was Prague or even farther destinations, they would help me figure out exactly how to get there, which made traveling around the Czech Republic so easy and enjoyable. The town itself is small but so charming. There’s a river nearby for peaceful walks, and the train station is just a short distance away—only about 30 minutes to Prague! Their two daughters are absolutely lovely. Rozi, the older one, especially stole my heart. She was always so excited to show me everything—her toys, the paintings she drew—and often dragged me off to blow bubbles or play together. Even though we cannot communicate smoothly, we connected so easily through laughter and play. Those moments with her were some of the sweetest memories of my trip. Time flew by so quickly during my stay. This will always be one of the best experiences of my life. If I ever get the chance, I would return to the Czech Republic and to their home. I highly recommend this Workaway. It’s a wonderful experience where you feel welcomed, supported, and included in everyday family life.

I really enjoyed having these two at my place. They were upbeat, cheerful, willing to jump right in and tackle anything. While they were here, there were other helpers at my place and they got on with them fairly well. My little visiting dog absolutely adored them and after they left, she kept looking for them, which was a bit sad she really enjoyed having them take such wonderful care of her. I really appreciated that. They also power washed my house and scrub the deck in preparation for painting. They did such a wonderful job on the power washing of the house. I don’t think it needs painting now. Wish they could’ve stayed longer the week flew by. It was a particular hard time for me as my sister‘s husband had just passed away, and I was preparing so much for the celebration of life. I didn’t have a lot of time to spend with them which I deeply regret. It was great having them there, giving me an opportunity to focus on what I needed to get done as I completely trusted them with anything I gave them to do. Lovely, couple great workers and anybody who has them come to their home will be very satisfied. Hope the two of them have a wonderful trip and hope maybe they’ll come back this way again.

Two weeks at the farm passed by too fast and I started missing Pisogne’s serenity and magical sights the moment I left. Levi and Fabri were great hosts from the start. They always made sure I had everything I needed, and their warmth quickly made me feel at home. Volunteers are asked to provide help at a mountain farm, which means that they must be prepared to do some uphill walks, lifting, and back-bending. However, the work was always fair and the instructions were communicated clearly, making everything easy and smooth. Eating good-quality food every day may be a stereotype about Italy, but Levi and Fabri live up to it all the way and I was always looking forward to lunch and dinner. The insightful conversations were an added bonus to the mealtime. It was very easy to feel that Levi and Fabri care about what they do, that they love their life, and that they also want to share it all with others - and I appreciated this more than anything. All I can say is, a very big thank you!
