Brenden and Brooke stayed on our farm for close to a month. We all loved their stay with us very much! They are delightful , full of joy, considerate, enthusiastic about helping, and bring with them a varied and useful set of skills. They are also skillful enough that I could hand them the materials and the tools needed for a project and they would get the job done. They take time to plan and dialog, making sure they are proceeding on projects the best way possible. They have a huge amount of initiative and the patience and dedication to complete the tasks at hand. They helped us everyday with our long list of farm chores, with Brooke even taking over our goat milking completely for a few days. Brenden also spearheaded the design and implementation of a large deck that needed to be replaced due to rot while Brooke bravely dove into a large section of dry rot repair. This also led to some foundational repair work and multiple other detailed elements needed to complete the job in the best way possible. They work tremendously well as a team and together they rebuilt a beautiful deck, replaced rotten stairs, fixed multiple areas of dry rot in the side of the home, replaced our window trim and siding in multiple spots, replaced an exterior door, rebuilt steps, hung up a 60 foot vinyl wall, and so much more. All this without my ever needing to worry about what was getting done because they were careful, trustworthy, responsible, and capable. They willing jumped in and helped in a myriad of other ways around the farm as well, from hauling wheelbarrows of sand to medicating livestock, they were always willing and eager to help and learn. Our entire family loved getting to know both of them and we had many wonderful hours visiting around the kitchen table. They are wonderful people and we highly recommend them without hesitation. They are carriers of much joy and put their heart into the skills they share. A true blessing to have in our home and we wish them all the best on their journey.

Our stay with Maria was truly amazing! She is welcoming, funny, generous, and always made us feel at home. We really enjoyed the warm atmosphere, the shared activities, and the kindness she showed us. We agreed with Maria to work full time in her project in the countryside in order to have a full week of vacation to visit the hills around and the main Italian cities. She was so happy about our work that she gave us the opportunity to stay in her Airbnb apartment in the center of Bologna, 10 minutes walk from the train station and 3 minutes from the main square Piazza Maggiore! Great location to travel. I have to say that Maria is a clear person about the tasks, she gave us specific duties and she assisted us also by telephone when we needed. She is very tidy and clean in her house and garden and she expect the workawayers to be the same! She also offered incentives in other locations for us to visit. If you like work and travel visiting around this is the place

Heather and Phil were great hosts! We spent only one week with them but we really enjoyed the peace of their place. Both are really interesting people, Phil has lots of funny/incredible anecdotes about his travels and Heather is a very good cook. They took us to play bowls at their club and showed us a few places in the surroundings, we‘re very grateful for that! The jobs were varied, we did some concrete work, painting, cleaned the gutters and helped repair the veranda. Thanks again for everything!

Shunta is amazing! A very nice young gentlemen, polite, open-minded, hard-working, always ready to try out new things. While he is most careful in everything he does, he also is sporty and physically strong for any rough work. We also learned that he is an excellent cook! Shunta could check out recipes on the internet, and then cook splendid dinners, delicious pies… and plum jam and concentrate. We can absolutely recommend Shunta to anybody seeking for the best possible workawayer. Arigato gozaimas, Shunta! Ots!

I stayed at André’s place from September 15th until the 24th together with my friend Albert, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a kinder host. His place is a small ranch, surrounded by trees, flowers, and fruit plants — really peaceful and beautiful. The house itself is spacious, and you can tell he’s slowly getting everything organized. André lives there with his German Shepherd, Hinata — she’s super sweet, full of energy, and always around. Since he lives alone, he’s got his own little quirks and routines, but he did everything he could to make sure we felt comfortable, even with a full house of four volunteers. At first, he seemed a bit nervous with the daily tasks (which it's normal), but we worked together to set up a checklist and a schedule, and after that, everything went smoothly. Andre is very flexible with our routine. We felt comfortable about our schedule. We all took turns cooking and cleaning, and it turned out to be a really good system. André himself was always helpful, checking in on our well-being, and even took us out — we went hiking and also to Napier city, which is about 40 minutes away by car. He always makes sure you feel well, bought for us more than 1x the delicious New Zealand 🇳🇿 Beer - Tui. Besides that, always provided us amazing foods and drinks. REALLY ONE OF THE BEST HOSTS WE HAVE EVER! What really stood out is how much equipment he has for gardening and maintenance — his garage is fully equipped, like a playground for anyone who enjoys hands-on work. We drove his little truck (lawn mower). It was a highlight too. Overall, we had a really positive experience. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful spot away from the city, with lots of outdoor tasks to do and a host to talk about whatever you want and make some plans together or not this is definitely a place we’d recommend. Thank you, Andre! We are definitely meeting you in this crazy big world again! Good luck by selling the house! You'll nailed it. You deserve it

Kaitlyn was a huge asset for all tasks related to the animals. With her calm nature, she was able to interact with the animals in a very loving way and created a safe environment for them at all times. She was very attentive and always helpful. At the same time, she is also very good at keeping herself busy and making friends in her free time. Kaitlyn is in the process of discovering the world and finding her place in it. I think it should definitely be close to animals. All the best to you, and the Weidenhof is always open to you.

We were lucky to find Petter in a time of emergency, and he quickly adapted and took ownership of the tasks at hand. He was proactive, clean, polite, cheerful, and funny, and it was a real pleasure to have him around. He also spent time with our children, playing board games and keeping them entertained. They really enjoyed his company and he became very popular with them. Overall, Petter was a thoughtful and positive presence in our home, and I would be very happy to recommend him to other hosts.

Maija and Kiira have been such lovely guests. We have really enjoyed their company. They have been very good in taking care of our young dog, who will miss them for sure. Also our daughter now thinks, she has two Finnish sisters. They have been very reliable and also flexible in times of unforeseen circumstances. The tasks they were given they did with great care. We also enjoyed tasting some Finnish cuisine and introducing them to a lot more vegetarian food, that they are used to. We recommend everyone to invite them to their homes and we will always welcome them back to stay with us. All the best for their future !

Fabien stayed with us for a week and quickly became a part of the rhythm here. He is respectful, reliable, and wonderfully self-directed — always smiling and bringing good energy to both work and group life. He helped with heavy lifting as well as the small, everyday tasks that keep the house cared for, and he did it all with ease and cheer. There is something special and pleasant about being around him, and we found ourselves wishing he could stay longer to share more time and stories. We’re so happy he came to our home in the middle of his great journey, and we send him off with our best wishes — hoping our paths will cross again someday!

Kirsten was a fantastic volunteer. Nothing too much trouble. What she didn't know, she learnt. Good company. Great around the house. An asset to any host.

Alexander's visit was very good. We got a lot accomplished in the shop here. We managed to take him tolsee some of the local beach areas despite the poor weather ths time of year.

Spending a week with Mayu, Masaki and their wonderful children was an experience I will never forget. They literally opened their doors to me, making me feel at home. The children are are funny and amazing and I miss them already. We had wonderful conversations about a lot of topics, always curious about each other's cultures, and they helped me discover a new part of this country. If you want to spend a wonderful week completely immersed in the family atmosphere of these people, I highly recommend it. Thank you for welcoming me and making me feel at home.

My stay with Mercedes and Andrew was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home right away. I genuinely enjoyed the work whether it was yard projects or learning about the ins and outs of American home life, everything felt new and interesting. On top of that, I even got the chance to learn some cooking, which was completely new to me, and it meant a lot to be able to share a Korean meal with them on my last day. Their love and passion for music also left a big impression on me. As someone who loves music myself, it was inspiring and brought me a lot of joy. Above all, I’m so grateful for the way they included me in their family-like moments so naturally and with such kindness. I’ll carry these memories with me throughout my journey, and I truly hope our paths will cross again someday.

I stayed at Hiro’s house for one week, and it was a wonderful experience. It was my first Workaway, and I was a bit nervous, but Hiro was very kind and made me feel comfortable from the start. Thanks to her, I could enjoy the real life of Southern California, not just sightseeing. She took me out for drinks, to a sports bar to cheer for the Dodgers, and even showed me how to play pickleball. It was so much fun. Most of my work was in the garden. Since I had never lived in a house with a garden, it was very new and interesting for me. After work, swimming in the pool was the best feeling, and I felt like I experienced a part of American life. I also enjoyed our talks about work and life. It gave me new ideas for my future, and I really respect Hiro’s active lifestyle. Thank you so much, Hiro. This week became a very special memory for me, and I hope to come back to see you again someday.

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay with Sara and Daryl at the farm, I would recommend it to anyone (everyone!). Their home, and the entire Common Ground site, is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. They take the cultural exchange part of WorkAway seriously, and we had many lovely, enriching conversations during meals, on walks through the forest, out in the garden, and while feeding the ducks. I feel like I learned as much about myself and my spirituality as I did about permaculture and living sustainably in community.One of the highlights was helping Daryl and the volunteer crew he brought together salvage solar panels from a site in Birmingham and learning how to do the "solar dance." So so glad we chose to come to Alabama--there's so much to explore, we want to go back!

Had a wonderful and very chill stay at Ollie's for just over one week. The work is not especially rigorous, and feels enriching, beneficial, and worthwhile, like you're giving back to the land. It's a beautiful and huge property you will have a lot of time to explore. Ollie is a delight; very intelligent and great to talk with. Absolutely recommend a stay here.

Had a great time in the bush with Simon and Julia 🌻 Simon put a group together and we all met in Byron and set off indland to his brilliant property in the forest. The views and the space is unparalleled, as is the food (Simon is an excellent chef). I learnt so many new skills while I was here.. How to use a chainsaw, drive an excavator, and pretty much build a house 🥳. In our freetime, we would go to swim in waterfalls, have movie nights, play board games, and just sit and chat with a few(..) beers. Thank you so much to Simon and Julia for this experience xx

Enjoyed my stay with Krystal who is a pleasant soul with an ultra kind heart. She has done an admirable job of being both independent and outgoing. You must ask her to take you to Wendy's house for drumming activities. Her house is beautiful in the mountains of jaco as well. Would love to visit in the future 🙏

Lisa, you are someone we truly like because you’ve helped us with such willingness and dedication. With many of the tasks we have, I didn’t have to keep an eye on you or supervise at all. Just by asking you to help with something, I could already trust that the outcome would be satisfying. We’d really love for you to come back again if there’s a chance. You stayed with us far too briefly — it was such a wonderful time meeting you, Lisa.

Andrea was a helpful addition to our team. She was consistent and always ready and willing to tackle any tasks assigned. She helped take care of the animals and especially attentive to the chickens. She helped with a number of projects on the farm, landscaping and brush cutting, cooking, and various tasks around the house as-needed which we were most grateful. Andrea is positive and upbeat and seems to get along well with others. She can defiantly be a help to any home or farm.
