Our stay with Kerri and her family was simply unforgettable! From the first day, we felt so warmly welcomed and at home. Kerri has a golden heart , she takes care of everyone around her with kindness, courage, and generosity. She truly inspired us. During our month there, we not only helped in the garden (and had so much fun seeing the project come to life!), but we also got to share amazing dinners, deep conversations, and wonderful experiences together. They have two puppy Stella and Molly who are the sweetest! Meeting Kyle was such a joy too! And even though Eli was often busy with work, he was always so kind and we really enjoyed the conversations we had with him. We also discovered the real spirit of Canadian life in Didsbury: the parade, the farm visits, the community, and so many beautiful little moments that made our stay unique. Kerri, you are one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your story with us, for your trust, and for making us feel part of your family. We already miss you all and truly hope our paths will cross again. We couldn’t recommend Kerri and her family enough. Anyone who has the chance to stay with them will feel welcome, inspired, and part of something truly special.

My experience at Sandra’s and Keith’s place was great. After the daily chores (feeding the animals), I spent some time helping Keith with extracting honey and preparing bee boxes for the winter/ feeding the bees. Time to time, I was helping Sandra to bake or to cook. Both of them were very open-minded and would answer all of the many questions I had on Canadian history, their culture and on much more :) They introduced me to their family and friends. I had great time in Saskatchewan. Thank you for hosting me! All best, Veronika

I stayed at Clare’s cozy home for one week. It was lovely days for me, and I enjoyed it. Even though my English is not good, and my stamina is low, she accepted me. I really appreciate her kindness, consideration, and understanding. I worked taking care of her garden, cleaning home, and doing experiences of taking care of her horses. She taught me kindly and clearly how to do something. She welcomes several workawayer, so I met one lovely couple. The meals and desserts were delicious and luxurious. She shared the fresh vegetables she grew up. We took turns cooking dinner, so it was a good opportunity to learn about foreign cuisines from around the world. Her smile is beautiful, and when she checked new flower seeds, her smile was especially so bright. I really see that she loves gardening. I learned about her lifestyle with nature. Everything was a new discovery for me. It was precious experience for me. Thank you very much ☺️

Louis was with us for 2 weeks in August. It was great fun hosting Louis, he was always eager to find jobs to do and completed them all very well. Louis stained my fence and also completed a door painting project. Louis was also really great at taking care of our 2 dogs, taking them for walks. He is also good at cooking and make a really nice potatoe curry dish. It was a real pleasure to host Louis, and I would absolutely recommend him to any other Workaway host. Take care Louis and all the best in your studies and hope to meet up again sometime!

I had a really nice experience volunteering here. The hotel is well organized, and i enjoyed helping at the reception with check-in/out as well as preparing and cleaning the rooms with fresh sheets. The host was kind, communicative, and made me feel welcome during my stay. i truly recommend this place for future volunteers! <3

I spent 5 months at the farm and it was an amazing experience! Konrad and Emmeline are great people and are willing to open up their home and businuss for you. I felt really welcome from the start. I helped out feeding and training the dogs aswell as doing tours with guests. We also did a lot of maintenance at the huge property. Besides that I met friends, did some assados, climbed the Villarica volcano and learnt a lot about the area. If you like to be busy, be arround a lot of dogs and learn new things, this is deffinetly the right place to go!! Thank you guys for everything 🙏🏻

Eszter was a wonderful person to have on our team. She was very patient and worked especially well with teenagers, creating a positive and engaging environment for them. She did an excellent job and showed great dedication in all her tasks. I can truly recommend her for any kind of work — she is responsible, punctual, kind, and hardworking. We really enjoyed working with her, and she is always welcome to come back to Colombia whenever she wishes. Thank you, Eszter, for everything! 🌟

My experience volunteering with Miki was incredible! I ended up loving it so much that i stayed there for 4 weeks! Its an incredibly beautiful area with jungle and river. The property is so big that you have to hike for 20 minutes to get to the other side (cool, right?) There is a big fruit forest and with Miki you'll get to try many fruits available there. We worked a few hours a day and I've learnt so much about farming - from how to use some tools that I'd never used before to cacao processing and making sugar cane juice. Some work could be physically demanding but nothing crazy :) In the afternoons after the work taking a dip in the river was a perfect escape from the heat. One of the biggest perks is a private waterfall and access to the river. There are also much bigger waterfalls not that far, it'll make a nice day hike. It's an off-grid farm so the access to the internet was limited. But that made the experience so much better 'cause i finally could explore the world instead of being in this social media bubble. It was nice to enjoy a chill, laid-back atmosphere. We played cards (i learnt one hungarian game and i taught him 2 russian card games), watched movies, played chess and cooked, which I've learnt a lot about like making coconut milk from scratch or preparing hummus from jack fruit seeds. And i cant help but mention 3 dogs and 2 cats that love on the farm. They are adorable! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn about farming and enjoy being off the grid

We were so fortunate to have Salomé with us for a full month. From the very beginning she showed herself to be an incredibly hard worker, the type of person who rolls up her sleeves, jumps in, and does whatever needs to be done without hesitation. She has such a positive approach to work and life, and it shines through in every task she takes on. Salomé was a huge help with the animals, caring for them with patience, kindness, and a natural ease. She assisted with feeding routines, gave medications, and helped us weigh and health-check over 40 birds... a big job that she tackled with focus and good humor. She even helped whitewash our chicken coops, leaving them fresh and clean. Her contributions went far beyond animal care. She worked with us in the garden, helping to harvest vegetables and grapes, and made sure nothing went to waste. She was a steady hand in the kitchen, too, creative, resourceful, and always serving up something delicious. Salomé brings good conversation, laughter, and a lighthearted spirit that balances beautifully with her determined, hardworking nature. We are so happy we had this time with her. She not only accomplished a huge amount during her stay, but also brought a warmth and energy that we’ll miss. Any host would be lucky to welcome her ...she’s the kind of volunteer who truly makes a lasting difference. Wishing you safe and happy travels Salomé!!

Our family had the absolute pleasure of having Nadya volunteer with us for the last month. We cannot speak highly enough about her contributions, she demonstrated a combination of responsibility, maturity, and genuine care for everything she did. Our home was consistently kept clean and organized. In addition to keeping things in perfect order, Nadya prepared delicious, healthy meals that our family looked forward to each and every day. Nadya was dependable and willing to assist in every way possible. Whether it was managing unexpected tasks or simply being a calm, positive presence while interacting and playing with our children. The kids loved her and always looked forward to spending time together ❤️ Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Nadya. Her work ethic, kindness, and professionalism are truly exceptional.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Lukas with us. From the very beginning, it was clear he is one of those individuals who not only works hard, but does so with genuine care, kindness, and a sense of humor that makes every day lighter. He has such a natural way with animals and they trusted him right away. He treated each one with patience and love. Lukas is also the kind of person who sees what needs doing and simply steps in. Whether it was gardening, cleaning, helping my senior mom carry groceries, or caring for the animals, he approached every task with a positive attitude and a willingness to give his best. He has a gift for turning even routine chores into something enjoyable, and he goes above and beyond to keep the space running smoothly and filled with good energy. On top of all of that, he is funny, easy to talk to, and just a joy to have as part of the community here. His presence made a real impact not only on the daily workload but on the atmosphere of the sanctuary as a whole. We are already excited to welcome him back next year in the Spring and can honestly say that any host would be beyond lucky to have him. Lukas is one of those volunteers you never forget.

Notre séjour chez Lahcen s'est très bien déroulé malgré l'épisode de forte chaleur du mois de septembre. Ce fut un plaisir d'enseigner à des enfants motivés pour apprendre les langues. Les conditions du bénévolat sont très favorables : les 3 h de cours ( maximum ) ont lieu de 19h à 22h ce qui laisse toutes les journées et les week-ends de libres , les secrétaires sont adorables et à l'écoute des besoins , certaines salles sont équipées de vidéo projecteur ou de tableau numérique . Nous avons logé chez les parents de Lahcen qui malgré la barrière de la langue nous ont fait partager leur culture sahraouie notamment gastronomique. Lahcen est très généreux notamment dans le partage de la culture de sa région natale. Il est aussi très demandeur d'un partage de la culture européenne. Nous le remercions aussi de s'être adapté au rythme de notre fille de 6 ans et d'avoir été très attentionné à son égard. Nous avons vraiment eu le sentiment que tout était fait pour que nous nous sentions à l'aise et que notre volontariat se déroule au mieux. Nous ne pouvons que recommander de tenter cette expérience hors des chemins habituels du Maroc.

Misael & Alanah stayed with us on our hobby farm for almost three weeks in September. They were great company and fun to have stay with us for that time. They turned their hands to cleaning, painting, gardening, digging (yuk!), watering plants, guerneying, some cooking and a whole lot of other Spring jobs! They were incredibly respectful to all our farm and domestic animals and I have no hesitation in recommending them for your place! Safe and happy travels in Australia guys!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Sandra! She is such a kind and welcoming person, and everything was always very easy and uncomplicated with her. Even though we were traveling as two people, she spontaneously welcomed us without any problem. The work was super fair – never too long – and she was always very considerate of us. Most of the time we did gardening and weeding, which was enjoyable and rewarding. Sandra also has the sweetest animals: her lovely cats, charming sheep, and of course all the chickens made the experience even more special. She lives in a truly beautiful place, which made the stay even more memorable. On top of that, the food she prepared for us was delicious! Overall, it was a really great and heartwarming experience, and I’m very grateful for the time we could spend with her.

Aitor was the perfect host, friendly, interesting, inclusive, relaxed and outgoing. we did lots of different things together during my 10 day stay, from projects on the house ( new sink, front door improvements, plastering, back gate fitting etc) but we also did a lot of cultural experiences together too, walks, Fiestas, mushroom picking cooking and playing music together. He was very patient with my limited Spanish. And I learned lots during my stay. Overall an excellent experience.

Wow having barbara was just amazing wish all volunteers where like her! she exceeds any expectations. She also joins in and wants to learn about your culture and becomes easily part of the family! We hope she can come back again one day. We really miss her!

For my first Workaway, i could not have wished for a better place then with George, Sophie and the kids. Their homestead is absolutely amazing. An old Italian stone mountain house hidden up in the hills of Tuscany in the middle of nowhere, and yet it feels like the middle of everywhere at the same time. So much to do, see and learn. George and Sophie try to live as self-sufficient as possible, with help of their animals. Goats, chickens, a cow, a friendly dog... they even have a panda which i got to nurse! You'll have to go and see and ask to believe ;-) Thank you so much for giving me the time of my life. All the best, and keep up the good work! And also a big thank you to the other Workawayers there, such a lovely small group of people! Take care and see you, Michaël

*sorry, it took us a while to add our feedback but better later then never :-) we had the pleasure to host sophia and greta for 2 nights, both are super friendly and smiley people, we had some good talks, our little son enjoyed the play time with them and they both were really helpful in some garden work. thank you both for the good vibrations.

I had a truly wonderful experience staying here. From the first day, I felt welcomed and included as part of the household. The communication was clear, expectations were fair, and the tasks were meaningful and well-organized. The accommodation was comfortable and cozy, and the surrounding area was peaceful and beautiful — perfect for walks, relaxing, and connecting with nature. What should be a week it expended to few weeks, maybe a month. It really felt like we are roomates and friends sharing food and what happened in a day. Most of all, I’m grateful for the kindness, patience, and generosity of my host. He created a warm, respectful atmosphere where I felt valued. One thing is for sure; I left with good memories and one more friend in my life.

Rahel was here for four weeks and she was part of our „workawayers family“ from the beginning. Always there to help and a lot of really difficult work done - renovating a big chair in bad condition, sanding an old door with layers of old paint, paint it after primer and sanding again - and there was more wookwork ! Rahel tries new work with caution and planning, getting confortable on the way with stunning results - a whole old stonewall in the cellar had the gaps and holes filled and stabilisized. Rahel is a pleasure to be with, she is participating in all group activities - we cooked together and dinner in the evenings were a happy moment - new recepies and interesting discussions in French or English. I learned a lot about her studies and she explained also some medical issues, very interesting for me. I highly recommend Rahel with her sunny smile and her outstanding way to work. Rahel, I would love to see you again!
