This was the perfect Workaway! I feel so grateful to have been trusted with the beautiful home and felt so welcomed and supported by Claudia and Jag. I loved spending time with the family while they were all there, taking Shimmy on walks through the beautiful surrounds and loved the variety of tasks and things around the chateau! I couldn't recommend it more!

Julie was a dedicated and respectful volunteer who contributes with sincerity and generosity. Her calm presence and willingness to serve were really appreciated within the abbey community.

Wonderful experience the house was beautiful and they were very welcoming, we shared a barbecue and a really good fish! The work was completely fair and clear, they were also very flexible to get time to enjoy the area. Thank you again for this stay!

We stayed with Yani for two weeks and we would haved loved to stay longer. It was one of the best workaways we stayed at and Yani is the perfect host. She is a warm and caring person and incredibly funny. The work was flexible and not too hard, we were the first volunteers of the season, so we prepared the garden and cleared some areas. A few times we went to work at her friend's big bio construction project, which was really fun. It was great to feel the sense of community they built in this area. What made it the perfect workaway was the atmosphere without feeling exploited just for work, we felt really welcome from the beginning, we could communicate openly and discuss our individual needs and we are glad we were invited to be part of Yani's project and learn about her ideas and view on the word. Thank you so much Yani!!!! Iwo and Charly

This was my very first Workaway and it was truly wonderful! :) I stayed with two friends for two weeks at Yani’s place, helping her recover after a fire that had destroyed much of her home. We rebuilt part of the greenhouse and prepared the soil with compost for new plants. All food were shared — we each contributed a bit for groceries. Sometimes we cooked, sometimes Yani did. The place is a bit off the beaten path, so having a car helps if you want to explore, though hitchhiking or the bus also works. We met many of Yani’s friends, all really warmhearted and open-minded. The sense of community is amazing - everyone helps each other out. One highlight for me was joining a bunch of people to help friends of Yani build their clay house. The future homeowner said the support felt like “an emotional hug,” which perfectly describes the atmosphere there. Yani has lots of experience with volunteers and knows how to make it a great experience for everyone. Conversations happen eye to eye and tasks are discussed openly so you can help in ways that feel right for you. Thank you so much for everything Yani! I wish you and your place all the best <3 Mila

Iker and Patricia immediately made me feel welcome, and at home here. Their home and garden is beautiful and the surrounding area could be endlessly explored with amazing beaches, surf spots, nice hikes, towns, cafes etc. Work hours were very flexible which made it easy to organise other activities and days out, the food was fantastic and I was always well fed, they introduced me to their friends and included me in their social scenes, but I was always free to do what I wanted and they made all efforts to ensure I enjoyed my stay. Libe and Joane are also nice and very entertaining even if you don't speak Spanish so well. Difficult to summarise but I learnt so much and am grateful for this experience :)

Me and my partner stayed with Aris and Ija for three weeks in September and we had a wonderful time there! The guys are progressing in making their homestead and we could contribute to it. They speak English well and are very eager to talk about their lives, their culture and farming / permaculture. And they showed equal interest in us, so I think we had an invaluable exchange together! We learned much more than I had hoped. The work we did was mixed, mostly gardening (mulching, planting) with some construction and food prep. We also did our part in cooking meals. It was all quite fun, Aris & Ija managed us well and we felt we had a say in how things were done too. Hours weren't really counted and I feel we worked an appropriate amount. The Madonna region is quite unique. It's remote and wild, with air so clean you can almost taste it. We did walks and runs around the area, mostly across the dirt roads. It's not a touristy area, so there are no marked trails or paths. Nonetheless we were free to explore where we wanted to. We spent the nights in our own camper van, but there is a mobile home unit around too. During our stay there was no real running water yet (the well wasn't yet hooked up), so we had to take on water and shower in a nearby house instead. But the chances are good that by next summer this will be done, making the stay even more comfortable. We got to try much Latvian food and the guys really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Thanks again Aris & Ija, for having us and sharing with us!

Pues q decir, me sentí en casa, fue un tiempo que guardo en mi corazón. Lorsica es bellísimo, alejado de la ciudad, solo tú y la montaña. Damos gracias por el fuego🔥, los mates🧉las noches d conversación y risas🍷

A good all rounder, Paulina, amazing what she can do, give her a job, she gives it her best, takes responsibility and makes a possitive contribution, Paulina gets on well with all, shares her knowledge of yoga and life, gave some great yoga classes, she joined in all activities and we can recomend her to any host

I really enjoyed my time with Kelsey and Kurtis! You can really tell they have experience as volunteers as well as hosts. Work expectations were reasonable and adaptable, and the living conditions were great. We shared ideas and interesting conversations, and I got to join along in excursions that gave me a taste of local life. Really happy that I got to experience Saskatchewan through your lens! hope we meet again someday..

My stay with Nicola and Sebastian was truly wonderful. They are such friendly, kind, and welcoming hosts, and their children are incredibly sweet — I already miss them! I had a great time being part of their family and learning so much about German culture and cuisine during my stay. The household and garden work was always reasonable and enjoyable. Each day, I was given a few manageable tasks that could be completed in just a few hours. Nicola and Sebastian never pressured me to work and were always understanding, respectful, and considerate of my comfort and abilities. Their home is beautifully located between the Alps, offering an amazing view right from the house. The surrounding area is stunning, with plenty of hiking trails and tourist attractions nearby. I really enjoyed exploring the region during my free time. Overall, I had a fantastic experience. I’m truly grateful for the time I spent with this lovely family.

Merci à Fernando de m’avoir accueilli dans sa maison et dans son quotidien. C’était ma première expérience Workaway, et je ne regrette absolument pas ! Fernando m’a fait découvrir sa culture, m’a présenté ses amis et m’a parfaitement intégré à sa vie de tous les jours. Le logement était très confortable et me permettait de garder mon intimité. Il m’a gentiment conduit à Salamanque pour que je puisse rendre visite à ma copine, puis est venu me chercher ensuite. Il a aussi pris de son temps pour me donner des cours d’espagnol, ce qui m’a beaucoup aidé à progresser. C'est également un bon cuisiner. Merci pour tout, Fernando et Pilar — je reviendrai vous voir avec grand plaisir ! Noé

Hosting Richard and his three amazing children—the dynamic twin boys, Bruce and Clark (11), and the delightful Nana (9)—was an absolute pleasure. They are a cheerful, communicative, and genuinely kind family who immersed themselves fully in the homestay experience. Richard’s background as an accountant was a hidden bonus! He was sincerely eager to share his knowledge and experience, offering valuable insights for our future Kotos Café that we are truly grateful for. His initiative is remarkable; on a day when I was occupied with the new house construction, he and Nana took it upon themselves to completely clean and reorganize the kitchen appliances, transforming the space with thoughtfulness and care. The twins, Bruce and Clark, have a creative eye and contributed by making short, inspiring videos of the homestay, capturing its essence in a way we will always cherish. The family project of restoring our old swing was a triumph! Thanks to their hard work sanding and scraping the thick rust from the old iron bars for two days. Had they not started this work, the old swing could not have been painted by me with a fresh coat of cotton white after they left. It has now returned to its former glory just in time to be a beautiful centerpiece for my son's engagement decor. It was a joy to listen to Richard share his future plans to produce lemongrass oil back in Phuket. We are so inspired that we can’t wait to visit him one day as Workawayers to help with his project! We wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Richard and his wonderful family to any host. They are respectful, hardworking, and leave a lasting, positive impression. Our home felt brighter with their presence, and we consider them true friends. We hope your adventures bring you back to Sabah one day! Thanks Richard, Bruce, Clark, and Nana.

Grant was an ideal Workawayer — hardworking, funny, calm, and genuinely inspiring with his dedication to meditation and mindful living. While he was with us, he completed many gardening tasks, wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, helped with some painting, and took on many other household chores with great care and initiative. Everything he did, he did thoroughly and with a great attitude. Our young kids took to him quickly and loved spending time with him, whether playing, learning, or just hanging out and being silly. He fit in easily with our family life and brought a wonderful, positive energy to the house. We had a lot of fun getting to know him, playing music together, and exploring the beautiful nature nearby. We’re so grateful for everything he contributed and truly hope our paths cross again someday!

I highly recommend Yahya — I honestly wish I could stay longer! My time here was absolutely wonderful. Both Yahya and Mohammed are amazing people who made me feel completely at home. They are kind, caring, and always make sure everything is perfect. The riad itself is run with a lot of heart and love — it’s a truly beautiful place filled with warmth and positive energy.

Thank you Aga so much for help me .I recommend you everybody with eyes closed. You are very friendly ,very smiled and soo kind.

The week I spent with Jethro for my first Workaway was truly fantastic in every way. Jethro is kind, interesting and enjoys discussing books and life over a glass of wine or a good meal. He took the time to show me beautiful places in his region and let me sculpt a small souvenir. As for the work itself, Jethro is very clear in his instructions and communicates easily. It was a wonderful week, thank you so much!

What a nice and social personnality Yoann has, very helpfull, always coming with nice thoughts and visions, we definitely recommend this dude and ze give him hundred stars across the board, we look forward to see you again <3

Our stay at Georg and Susi's place better that we could have ever imagined. We were there for 11 days during August and we still look back on the experience with so much love and greatfulness. We worked 7 hours a day, from 7am to 1pm, and we had three resting days each week. It was great to start the day so early because then we could hang out and have free time in the afternoon. The work we did in the garden was something we hadn't done before either of us, but it was so enriching to learn about all the different processes around gardening and wakening up around nature. Georg was extremely patient and caring for us and we learned so much with him. Susi was really helpful when telling us different little places around them to visit, and thanks to her we got to visit amazing sights and spots. She was also an amazing cook and eating her food was one of the best rewards after the hardworking in the garden. We had so much fun when we had dinner together and we laughed so much with them. The kids were also really cute and always wanted to play with us. We also had some time for ourselves, and the family time for them, so it was also nice to spend time outside the house and do things for ourselves. In general, we had an amazing time, we learned so much, we laughed all the time. We wish you; Susi, Georg and the kids, the best and hopefully we will see each other again!!!

Our experience at this little finca in La Palma was truly enriching! We stayed for three weeks in July this year and really appreciated the peaceful rhythm of life, surrounded by nature, fruit trees, and ocean views, especially the ones from the compost toilets (just amazing!). Mathijs is kind, easygoing, and always happy to share his knowledge about permaculture and sustainable living. We learned a lot about gardening, composting, and food preservation, and had fun helping with daily tasks like planting, weeding, and cooking. Asmira enjoyed working on the cave (even though it was quite physical, but very rewarding!), while Marzia completely fell in love with the chickens! We’ll never forget collecting sunflower seeds, cooking with vegetables from the garden, making fresh lemonade from the lemon trees, seeing a dragon fruit flower bloom (which only lasts one magical night!), driving our little rented Fiat 500 through La Palma’s bumpy, winding roads (full of ups and downs, an adventure on its own!), taking open-air showers, visiting the stunning black volcanic beaches formed by ancient lava flows that met the Atlantic Ocean, and admiring plátano crops literally everywhere (we’re convinced there are more banana plants than grains of sand on the island!). Other memories we cherish include hiking La Ruta de los Volcanes, the sweet little pineapple Mathijs gave us before we left, and our cozy van that became our home during the stay. We loved the sense of connection with the land, the simplicity of daily life on the finca, and watching the stars at night. Overall, it was a meaningful Workaway that beautifully combined learning, nature, and community spirit. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly, we truly hope our paths cross again one day! Asmira & Marzia
