Zoe and Mathis were a lovely addition to our home. They stayed at the beginning of their trip around NZ and we also got to see them again before they departed. They are a lovely couple, hard working, respectful, clean & tidy. Were willing to give anything a try and helped us with many things around the home and garden. We hope to see them again one day!!

It was really great to get to know Aina and spend some time with her, she has a very easygoing personality and carries lots of vibrant energy ! She is very responsible and also flexible with schedule and work, and very grateful for every opportunity to discover new things. Despite what she might say, she speaks perfect French (and English as well !) but she is still curious to learn new idioms and tries to understand those stupid french grammar rules 😊 She has been very helpful around the house, she is not afraid to try and learn new manual skills, either for renovation or gardening. And she is such a gooooood cook !! She cooked so many nice meals ! I would definitely recommend you hosting Aina if you have the chance ; she will bring a pair of helpful hands, meaningful conversations and lot of good fun ! Moltes gracias Aina, you know you are always welcome and will be happy to meet again 😊

Krishna is one of the most generous person I've met on workaway, he took care of me when I got a bit sick, he showed me around his village and different places in the area, I met a lot of people and he always did everything he could to make me feel comfortable and like at home. It was an unusual experience compared to others as I did not work at all but I was a tourist, seeing day to day life from a small village perspective. Thank you for hosting me and for being such a caring and genuine person.

He pasado cinco meses en el ecoturismo, es un lugar mágico alejado de la ciudad entre campos de olivos. Pude combinar trabajo, vacaciones, descanso y recorrer distintos lugares. Compartí mis días con dos gatitos hermosos Dante e Indi. Durante toda mi estancia conté con una furgoneta para poder moverme libremente para ir a hacer compras al pueblo o para conocer distintos lugares del delta del Ebro. Las tareas a desarrollar son sencillas limpieza de habitaciones, recibir clientes, servir desayunos y cenas. Belén es una persona encantadora, amante y protectora de los animales, tuve la oportunidad de compartir distintas actividades culturales y sociales con ella y sus amigos. Ha sido una gran experiencia de Workaway, gracias Belén por compartir este espacio mágico que has creado, y a tus hermosos animales 🥰

Yuriko was a great workaway ecperience! She was so kind, seemed to be happy with her life in our little village. was always ready to share our days with us, to be together with the grandchildren or our friends and family members. Day by day she belonges more to our family! She was taking german lessons every morning after jogging over the hills😂 Yuri is student of medicine and we all are shure she will get a great doctor! We had a lot of talks about our different cultures and how to live our lifes in our different time... last but not least the medical behaviors. Yuri was with a helping hand in garden and in house beside me, cooking ,cleaning a lot and having an own project.(my half broken old banch is now ready to use again. ) We wish all, that we will see Yuri again and that she has the power for her further studies.

Cathy was a positive and confident participant in harvesting and assisting with other fall projects. Cathy willingly tackled any project that I asked her to do. She is strong and capable. Cathy could work independently and was equally comfortable with team work in a collaborative project. She was clean, thoughtful and considerate in the shared household spaces. She contributed to cooking and general cleaning. Her dog, Gany, was well behaved and interacted with my dog appropriately. She is well trained, quiet and friendly. Gany is a sweetheart. I recommend Cathy (and Gany) if you are looking for a positive, confident person who is well rounded and capable of many kinds of projects.

Our return from a wonderful stay with Francisco! Francisco’s farm is located about 1 hour from Santiago and 40 minutes from the airport. You can take a taxi or Uber (not always easy) for around $25, otherwise take the bus. Francisco goes to Santiago every Tuesday and Wednesday, and you can go with him. The property of about 2.6 hectares has pastures, a round pen, a main house (plus another house for an employee). There are 3 big dogs (+2 from the employee), very friendly and they don’t go inside the house. Francisco lives with Jacqueline and Milan, his 15-year-old son. The atmosphere at home is very warm and natural. We shared all meals together, but you can also be independent sometimes. Francisco works a lot, but he takes a few hours at the beginning of the stay to introduce you to the horses (I even created a manual to help), the property, and a list of possible tasks. After that, it’s up to you to manage. Same at home, the basics of living together are expected: setting the table, cleaning up, etc. You’ll have all the necessary comfort in a rustic and cozy atmosphere. It’s the countryside, and it feels great! At night, you can stay in a small cool room or in a large outdoor tent with a real bed. We were also lucky to attend family constellations with some clients, a therapy that works with the unconscious to help resolve personal issues. Méganne took care of cutting the grass with the weed-eater and mainly looked after the 8 horses (grooming, groundwork, or riding, with both experienced and beginner horses). She also taught Simon how to ride during free time. Note: all the horses are ridden bitless, either in classical or western style. Simon, being a construction engineer, drew several plans for future projects and also built a metal gate and a kennel together with the worker. For smaller side tasks, we helped tighten some fence wires, planted a few trees, moved piles of wood, built shelves, did some painting, cooking, organizing, egg collecting, etc. In conclusion: a fantastic experience with Francisco, Jacqueline, and Milan. We truly felt very well integrated into the family and lived a really authentic and sincere moment of life. A big thank you!

I stayed at the finca for a month in August, and it was an absolutely magical time of connecting with nature. Sleeping under the open sky, swimming in the sea, and spending time with the incredibly friendly animals made every day special. With the absolutely adorable and funny pack of eight dogs around, I could never complain about boredom! I also had the unique opportunity to help with the training of a young two-year-old mare. It was eye-opening to see the patience, dedication, and subtle communication involved in working with horses. As someone with past horseback riding experience, this was especially meaningful to me. On top of that, I gained some practical skills, such as making the wild water riverbed walkable for both horses and people. It taught me discipline, resourcefulness, and gave me a completely new type of hands-on experience I had never had before. And then there’s Pia—the host herself. She is truly a legend! Her life story could easily be turned into a multi-part film, and her courage and authenticity in following her dreams are incredibly inspiring. Through meditations, deep conversations, and simply spending time together, she shared perspectives that enriched me and will stay with me for a long time. Thanks to her warmth and kindness, I often felt as if I was spending time with family. Together we created so many core memories—like rescuing a fox, going on beautiful walks with the finca’s animals, enjoying shared breakfasts, and unforgettable swims in the sea—that I will cherish for years to come. At the same time, this experience was deeply therapeutic for me. The simple lifestyle and close contact with nature gave me the space to reflect, notice things about myself, and grow in ways I couldn’t in the fast pace of everyday life. Leaving the finca, you truly feel different from the person who first arrived. Thank you, Pia, for creating a second home for me in Spain and for such a truly transformative time.

This was our first workaway experience and what an incredible one to have, we left feeling extremely grateful and lucky. Mikel and Irena are wonderful hosts who made us feel welcomed from the start. They have created a beautiful hostel in Shkodër with a great vibe and delicious food. The work itself was easy to learn. There are different shifts throughout the day (reception or cleaning) and you had lots of free time to go and explore or just hang with the other amazing volunteers and guests. We also did the Valbona to Theth hike and that was an amazing experience you get through. Thank you again, love Michelle & Callum.

Super welcoming place, stayed for two weeks but could of easily spent alot longer. Preparing breakfast in the morning was actually a really fun way to start the day, paired with some music and chatting to the hostel guests. Ali is super intentive, always asking if you need anything, so thank you. This is the BEST way to experience Cappadocia! :))))

The farm was an amazing experience and honestly the best way I could’ve imagined getting back into volunteering. The place itself is beautiful, and the work was a great mix of physical, hands-on jobs and more relaxed tasks — it felt rewarding without ever being too much. What really made it special was the atmosphere of the volunteers house (where we all slept). I left with some great memories and its a place I would definitely come back to in the future !! :))))

Giorgia was my very first Workaway host, and I feel truly lucky that it was her who welcomed me. She gave me a warm home and left me with the most wonderful memories. Giorgia is kind, generous, and her beautiful garden made my stay even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience.

I really enjoyed my time in Gorbio. My time was spent mainly helping around the house with housework (laundry, cooking, undoing the dishwasher, cleaning the guesthouse) and helping with the children (looking after them and teaching them English). Jessica is really lovely and communicates well, and teaches you exactly how to do things. The children were so kind and it was great getting to know them over the 2 weeks I was there. I did regular day trips down to Menton (although be conscious of the fact that the bus schedule is quite limiting) , and also went across to Nice and Cap d'Ail on other days. Overall I had a great time on my first Workaway experience and it is pretty well located to explore the rest of the Cote d'Azur. A couple things to consider for other Workawayers: where you will be staying is very much at one with nature, and the kitchen is architecturally 'open' to nature as well. The actual town of Gorbio is very pretty but doesn't have much to do- you will have to go down into Menton to do some proper exploration. The last bus up is at 5:30pm from Monday to Saturday. If any future Workawayers would like to hear more about my experience, please message me!

I spent 9 weeks during the summer of 2025 at Kimmo’s place, and it was an amazing experience. Kimmo was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made my stay in Siikainen truly enjoyable. I had the chance to take part in many different projects on the property, such as repairing a wooden deck by the lake, helping start the construction of an "Orangerie", painting, and more. The place itself was beautiful and peaceful, and thanks to Kimmo, we also got to discover Finnish culture (its food, traditions, and way of life, ...). I highly recommend staying with Kimmo, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience!

Emmy lives on a beautiful farm which was really amazing to experience. We could not get over how many different kinds of fruit and veg were growing there, all seemingly intermingled with each other. It was really enjoyable to continue discovering different aspects of the farm throughout our stay. Emmy also made a strong effort at ensuring the work we did was varied, meaning we found ourselves doing a lot of different things, and rarely doing the same thing during a single day - which we really appreciated! The lunches were largely cooked with food grown on the farm and were some of the nicest meals we've had. However… It has to be said that we found it quite challenging living #redacted# It’s worth noting that we left earlier than expected due to a nearby wildfire, therefore we did not get to express any of this and potentially get an explanation as to why things were this way. We never want to write a review with negativity, however we feel future workawayers should be aware of our experience. It would not be right to say we wouldn’t recommend this workaway as there were many good aspects, however please be aware this may be an issue!

Joshua was part our farm family for two weeks he is very hardworking and dedicated he helped to make foundation for chicken house 🏠, cleaning cattle yard feeding animals etc and teaching English in government school near farm he is responsible and respectful we are really looking forward to host him again and I confidently suggest other host too.
