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.

Hi. Maho. So sorry for the late reply. I through I had done it. Bit bloody slack of me ah. Well what can I say, could say quite a bit but it would take me all day lol. Maho was lovely to have here. She just filled into the routine round here like a glove. Dottie loved her to bits. We did the usual gardening stuff round the section. We had Kiwi English lessons lol. Went for walks and a bit of house cleaning. She was polite and tidy round the house. Would enjoy having you stay again if your ever back in NZ. Thank you very much for all your help.

I am delighted to share my thoughts on Bara, a remarkable volunteer teacher at our Foreign Language School in rural Cambodia. Her dedication to teaching English to the village students has been nothing short of inspiring. From the moment Bara stepped into the classroom, it was evident that she possesses a genuine passion for education. Her teaching style is both engaging and effective, making learning a fun and interactive experience. Bara employs creative methods to explain complex concepts, ensuring that every student, regardless of their initial skill level, feels included and encouraged. Bara’s ability to connect with her students is truly special. She takes the time to understand their individual needs, fostering a supportive environment where they feel safe to express themselves. Her patience and enthusiasm motivate the students to participate actively, and it’s heartwarming to witness their progress over time. Moreover, Bara goes beyond the curriculum. She introduces cultural elements that enrich her students' understanding of the English language, helping them see its relevance in a global context. Her commitment to fostering a love for learning is evident, and her impact on the students' lives is profound. In summary, Bara is an extraordinary volunteer teacher whose contributions to the New school are invaluable. Her passion, creativity, and dedication not only enhance the educational experience for her students but also empower them to dream big and aspire for a brighter future. I wholeheartedly recommend Bara for any teaching role, as she continues to make a difference in the lives of the children she serves.

We had a wonderful time with Sheryl and Andrew! The tasks were varied and interesting! Andrew took us in the village to go play pool in the Porangahau Pub! we had the chance to witness and participe with sheep sheering and did some gardening! Sheryl cooked a lot of wonderful meals too! We had a lot of fun I definitly recommend! Hope were going to see each other again!

I loved my time at la cruz! I extended my stay because it becomes like a home. It's amazing to see the positive work being done with the animals and the community and it feels so special to be a part of it. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and the shifts are well organised and fair. It feels like a safe space if you have any concerns or questions. Living without electricity and internet becomes the norm and it became really refreshing to be off the phone. I think living in this way encourages more connection with others and the surroundings. The town isn't too far away when you want signal again and there's a nice place volunteers can access where you can spend time and have a swim. It's such a unique experience it feels so special being surrounded by the jungle and seeing the progress of the monkeys is so rewarding, I'll miss them so much.

Thank you so much to ULA for the warm hospitality. Everyone here was incredibly kind and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The vegetarian meals were delicious and plentiful every day. Most importantly, working here taught me a different perspective on intention. Even something as simple as mopping the floor can transform when done with the mindset of benefiting others—it completely changes your energy. This journey is one I’ll cherish and reflect on for a lifetime :)

Had my first Workaway experience with Amanda. Even though it was a short stay I couldn’t ask for a better experience. The place is peaceful and surrounded by nature, and it’s a good location to explore the close by beaches. The tasks are fair and the place to stay is very comfortable and private. I would recommend to everybody. Thanks Amanda for hosting me!
