We’ve just come back from our experience in Australia with Rachel and David, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We spent an incredible month working and sharing moments with them, and they welcomed us into their home as if we were part of the family. From day one, they made us feel comfortable, always making sure we had everything we needed, caring both about the work and our free time. Living together was easy, natural, and very enriching. We learned so much—not only from the work itself, but also from life in the countryside, the language, Australian culture, and a completely different way of living. Thanks to Rachel and David, we discovered beautiful places, tried local foods, and experienced things we never would have on our own. And of course, we can’t forget Dotty and Jazzy, the sweetest dogs who filled our days with fun and cuddles, or the absolute craziness of the alpacas, who made every single day more entertaining. We leave with the feeling that we’ve gained a second family on the other side of the world. We’ll always be thankful to Rachel and David for the kindness, patience, and trust they gave us. Without a doubt, we recommend this experience to anyone considering it: you won’t just find a place to work, but also a home where you’ll feel welcome from the very first minute.

It was such a pleasure to have Lydia with us! She is : - Hard-working - Adaptable - Capable - Intelligent - Strong - Trustworthy She is also a kind and easy-going person. Nothing was too much trouble and she did everything with good grace. This was a wonderful Workaway experience for me, my 80 year old mother and our assortment of pets! The difference Lydia made in just 10 days was significant and I’m extremely grateful to her. While I was away Lydia not only took complete charge of the house, pool and grounds but also looked after my mother and the four ‘furries’. She took extra care of our special needs cat and kept me constantly updated. We all miss Lydia and would love to have her back any time.

It was an amazing experience in Varanasi at Anand’s place. We felt like home with his family. We had home cooked meals out there. We explored city. Enjoyed his music. He is excellent music teacher which is just added cherry on the top.

After being in Thailand for more than two months already, I finally found what I was hoping for the whole time: spending a lot of time with locals, and learning so much about all different kind of things in Thailand. I've only spend 5 full days with Kitti, Khwan, Pei, grandma and Pen, but it made my trip so much richer. From the bottom of my heart a big "Khop Khun Ka" to all of you for taking me into your family in no time, and for all the trips in and around Ayutthaya you've been taking us on. There is always a couple of different projects Kitti and Khwan are working on. So expect to work the 5 hours a day you agreed to because there is always something to do :) Depending on your interests and skills, you can help with building, repairing, with gardening, cleaning, and so on. I helped with some designs in Canva, with the garden (mostly weeding in the very early mornings because after that it's just too hot), with cleaning around the house, with preparing the newly rented hotel for opening and I volunteered in the smoothie stand. There wasn't much planning, a strict structure or schedule, the day developed rather spontaneously and sometimes there have been even mixed messages about what to expect next, but in my opinion, this is part of the experience :) I am highly recommending staying with the family, you will definitely come out richer, you will eat great food and meet a bunch of lovely people!

I had the most wonderful time staying with Akanksha, Sven, and their little daughter Mira. They are such kind and welcoming souls, and from the very first day, we felt at home. In just 10 days, I got to meet so many amazing people and be part of a beautiful community that felt so special. Spending time with Mira was a joy, she’s so adorable, smart, and truly adds a unique energy to the place. The tasks we did were simple yet meaningful, and alongside the work, there were plenty of fun experiences. On our very first day, Akanksha took us to a permaculture party, and throughout the stay, we got to enjoy things like a trip to a beautiful river near Anghiari, attending a medieval festival, and even experiencing a body-painting session by a Colombian artist who was staying there too. I also got to experience what its like to be a part of a Womens circle for the first time and that was such an empowering experience and I really thank Akanksha from the bottom of my heart :)) I personally loved the deep and inspiring conversations I had with Akanksha she’s incredibly sweet, smart, and I learned so much from her, especially about permaculture and sustainable living and just Life in general . The whole atmosphere was so full of warmth, connection, and energy exchange, which made the stay unforgettable. This is truly a special place, perfect for anyone who wants to learn, share, and experience community living. I’m so grateful for the time we shared, and I already miss them and the memories we created together. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!! keep shining, and God bless.

We stayed with Avi, Margaret and Sveik for a bit more than a week just before our departure from our year-long adventure in New Zealand. They were very helpful from the very beginning, as we had many things to sort out before leaving the country. We enjoyed learning about composting, of which we had basic knowledge before, but learning from Avi and seeing his passion made us more enthusiast! We really appreciated the clear communication, and the dinners that we shared together were wonderful! We are excited to see how the garden project goes on with the next workawayers :)

We stayed with Gemma, Garth, Diggy and Raph for a few weeks just after arriving to New Zealand. They were so helpful while we struggled to find the perfect campervan, to open our bank account, and to make our plans for the whole year. It was a pleasure to help them around the house, as we had diverse tasks inside,as well as in the garden. Oh what a beautiful and cosy home it is, with such a chill and lovely family! It was great to see how they manage everything, sharing the tasks, like role models :) We are grateful that we could get introduced to New Zealand by you! Thanks heaps!

Ruben was another fantastic volunteer. His dedication and sense of responsibility were top-notch, and his relationships with other volunteers were absolutely great. He handled every task we gave him at the farm smoothly and without any issues. I wish him the best of luck on his journey and hope we’ll meet again soon. Best, Burak.

Dear Julia, Chris, Leonas, and Levi, It was such a great chance for us to be their very first workawayers. We spent one week together with their lovely family. Aykut helped Chris with the garden work — together they built a children’s playground, worked on the garden gate, and fixed the fence. I also helped in the garden, spent some time with their sweet boys, and gave a hand with a few house tasks. They live in a beautiful neighborhood, and their home is wonderful. They provided us with a comfortable place to stay as a family — the apartment was just downstairs from their home and had everything we needed. When we first arrived, they kindly picked us up from the train station, and when we left, they also dropped us off — such a thoughtful gesture. Both Julia and Chris have a background in traveling, so we had lots of inspiring conversations about journeys and experiences. We also talked about German culture and food, which was really nice. Julia also took us to a park with big inflatable toys where the children had so much fun, and we really enjoyed it. Our daughters really enjoyed spending time with Leonas and Levi. Leonas and Levi are such cutie pies, we already miss them! The food was delicious — Julia is such a great cook! Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We hope to see you again in the future.

Hasan is a super fun guy, always happy and spreading positive vibes. We had a blast together for nearly three months. Even though Hasan claims to be the all-time top-scoring volunteer, I have to point out that most of his "goals" came from his shoe flying off and hitting the net! :D Jokes aside, Hasan was an awesome volunteer. I’m sure we’ll meet again soon. Best wishes, Burak.

Simon is a great guy, strong and full of energy. He works hard, cares a lot, and gets along super well with other volunteers. I really wish he could stay longer. Hope we meet again soon! Best, Burak.

I enjoyed spending two weeks with Ami and her son Mihai, in the beautiful region of Banatul Montan. From the first moment, Ami proved to be a very welcoming and open host. I appreciated her positive attitude and energy, the fact that she is an easy-going person, as well as her sense of humor. Also, we had some deep and interesting conversations together, in which time seemed to be compressed. Mihai is a well-educated, obedient and sociable little boy and it is a pleasure to see him playing freely, in the natural environment, like the one in Bocșa. I am glad that I had this positive experience and I am confident that even though I live at the other end of the country, we will meet again.

We are very happy to have joined this camp as a family. In August 2025, we took part in the last summer camp in Liddes. I volunteered as an English teacher, my husband helped in the kitchen, and our daughters enjoyed the camp to the fullest. Besides these roles, we also organized some workshops and led group games during the evening activities. We were the first family to volunteer together in this camp. Usually, the camp is run with the experience of volunteers who have been joining these courses for many years. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet amazing people. Liddes is a small Swiss village, very peaceful and quiet. Apart from your main duties, if there is space, you can also join other camp activities. There is the chance to work with volunteers from all around the world, and everyone does their work with joy in a harmonious environment. The food was delicious, and the accommodation was excellent. Thank you very much for accepting us as a family. We truly hope to have the chance to work with you again in the future.

We spent a week volunteering with Siri and absolutely fell in love with everything! The children were wonderful – kind, curious, and such a joy to teach. They happily joined in with the lessons and games, and their warm energy made the whole experience so special. Siri herself was an incredible host, welcoming us wholeheartedly and making sure we always felt at home. Her kindness and positive spirit created such a comfortable atmosphere that it was impossible not to feel at ease. Beyond the volunteering, we also loved exploring the area with her. Siri took us out to local restaurants, guided us on tours of the city, temples, and even the mall, and she was always there to help with day-to-day things – even arranging a haircut at a local barber! It was a truly wonderful experience, and we are deeply grateful to Siri for opening her home and heart to us. Thank you for making our stay so meaningful and memorable!

Jelle is fantastic... works far above average, always doing something, and a nice smart guy. His partner Luna is also great! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I was at Nouri's house for less than a week, unfortunately because I texted him at the last minute, but he welcomed me with a cheerful face. Nouri's house was a real peace for me after a long trip and he was amazing, kind and generous. It was very enjoyable to be able to rest and start working again whenever I wanted during the day and it made me feel more like I was there to help than to work. he sent me with his friend to go and explore the city. he is very kind. I really enjoyed being there and felt at home. He is a professional chef and I tried new dishes there in a very cozy place. Nouri is a knowledgeable person and after I left he followed up on my trip and tried to help me everywhere. I hope to see you again this time so that I can be more helpful to you.

Luciano is a very pleasant person with a youthful spirit.Very good worker and nice company.

What an incredible experience! Yosun is very knowledgeable and so dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of the animals she rescues, and her philosophy of deep ecology and our integration with nature is entirely aligned with my own. Her animals -- 9 horses / 7 donkeys plus 4 sheep,6 chickens, 9 cats, and 3 dogs (yes, her heart is that big) -- are each one remarkable in his/her own way, and all deserving of great love. The sanctuary is still under development (she relocated there just 1 year ago) and staying there is not for the faint-hearted; you must be willing to endure a bit of hardship for the sake of these wonderful creatures and their wellbeing. I stayed a week with Yosun and her animal companions, and I'm already looking forward to my return next year. Thank you, Yosun, for your generosity and kind spirit, the knowledge and shared conversation, and for this great work that you do!

Maddy is delightfully laid back and accommodating. She tackled all jobs cheerfully, and has a calming way the animals, we all miss her.

Kyrre is such a knowledgeable, kindness and respectful person. He replied all the questions before I arrived and shared Norwegian lifestyle since from he picked me up from airport. His cook is amazing (Norwegian food) and I felt like a guest more than a worker. He told me what he needed help and I could pick some it fit with me. Therefore work can be difficult from different workers and I enjoyed mine. My room with sea and mountains views. I don't have to say more good things about landscape here.( I guess everyone knows how awesome) I sadly to leave but already planning back in summer. You are more than lucky if you have chance to be here.
