We got to stay for 2 and a half weeks and it has been a great experience for both of us. Phoebe and Chris are very nice people who helped us with our questions and lent us their car on occasion. We also got to know their three lovely children, Phoebe‘s father and their very cute dog, which made the experience even better. Our main focus was on picking weeds and cleaning up the garden. On the weekends we went to Melbourne, which is 1,5 hours away, if you go by train. If you are looking for a rather quiet place in beautiful nature with lots of animals, we would totally recommend going here! We had a great time, thank you!

Rich is a great host! From the moment he met us and took us by boat to his amazing property, to the shared meals and many stories he had to tell. It was awesome watching the turtle release and walking his dogs. Accommodation was simple and comfortable. We wish Rich health and happiness!

I spent two and a half weeks with Julie and Glynn and their wonderful animals. Although we had different perspectives in some conversations, I really enjoyed the work on the farm. Together with the other two Workawayers, Daniel and Simon, we prepared the fields, built walls, put up fences and got the olive trees ready for harvest. Outside of work, we were very well taken care of: we joined local markets on the weekends, went to the beach together, and thanks to Julie there was always delicious food, with great vegetarian options for me. I’ll fondly remember the time spent preparing meals with Julie as well as the cold coffee breaks and, of course, all the lovely, cuddly dogs. Thank you for your generous hospitality and all the experiences!

Alex and Evelin were truly amazing. They taught English both at our house and at students’ homes together with the local teachers ( my team). They were friendly, responsible, and very easy to get along with. During their stay, we also explored local life together like ,attending a wedding, visiting the sunrise hill, the tempe factory, and even the Tinkerbell Garden. They were so open to learning about Indonesian culture, from trying local food like martabak and dawet ireng,mie ayam,tempe etc to learning some Bahasa and Javanese words. What impressed me the most was how kind and polite they were to everyone around. They often greeted our neighbors with a smile and even joined in local activities . they learned how to "nganjang ", helped arrange tobacco leaves on the "rigen", and were treated to a bowl of warm soto. They trained my children to speak english.I loved it See you when I see you Thankyou

This was my first Work Away in Europe. I was so excited and maybe a little nervous at the same time. Would we be a good fit? Would the boys like me? Would their teenage daughter want to talk to me? Well, from the very moment I was greeted at the airport by Elena & her daughter Rebecca, I felt so welcomed! Then the greeting from the boys when we got home with hugs and smiles . I was immediately made part of the family and couldn’t ask for a better family. Luca even cooked spaghetti al ragù , my request, for my first meal that was delicious! Andrea loves to play soccer which we did after I prepared his lunch during lunch break and any other spare moments, play a card game which I taught him or play with Legos building ANYTHING. He is so creative and smart! I love his smile! Ricardo, Ricci is his nickname, is an energetic fun boy. He LOVES playing ANYTHING really! Playing race cars , Legos, hide-n-seek on his bike outside or soccer. He picked up English quite fast once we really connected. I just love his laugh!! Rebecca is a very sweet girl very busy with school studies but enjoys conversation and loves to bake goodies. Elena & Luca are such a nice couple. They were always making sure I had enough food and anything else I might need. Elena was so friendly and took me shopping to the nearby town of Navarro, helped me get eye glasses after I lost mine and always made me feel a part of the family. I was even invited to go with the family to a celebration and tag along on family outing days which I really enjoyed! The town is very small so if you’re a city person you will have to be ok with taking a bus/ train to go to larger areas. I ventured off to Milan for 2 days and that was enough city for me. It was fun though. The home is lovely and modern. My bedroom was spacious with storage, and a window that opened to the garden area. I didn’t mind occasionally sharing the bathroom to let the boys use the bathtub. The job tasks were never difficult. General house cleaning help, laundry, walking Andrea to school or picking him up, preparing a lunch. I enjoyed doing that for Elena also so she could enjoy her break time more. I helped in the small garden area which I loved as well. Cleaning up the dishes and keeping the kitchen tidy is a big help as Elena and Luca both have long days working and like to enjoy family time. Oh and their young cats that love snuggles are so cute! This truly was an amazing experience & I would very much recommend this Work Away to anyone wanting to make a real connection and life long friends with this family. I definitely hope to return for a visit sometime😊

Great workaway! Special Thanks to Patrick for all the opportunities he gave me: I learned new things about gardening, we went collecting clams and oysters, also showing me around and giving interesting and good information about country and people. He also took me to a concert organized by the Association which I enjoyed a lot. You‘re a stunning cook - I loved the food (and the fire in the chimney). Yes, it was great to stay at Patricks place, the property is marvellous and we did some good work in the garden together in the mornings (I‘m always happy working together with the host). Merci Beaucoup!

I had a genuinely lovely time with Carlota and Marc, their Terra Alta property is beautiful and the cottage I was given to stay in, Mas de la Pedra, was really comfortable - I feel really lucky to have gotten it to myself. They showed interest in learning about me, asked questions and listened to my thoughts. Discussions over breakfast and lunch often left me with lots to think about, and I really enjoyed and valued hearing their perspectives. Their passion for Catalonia is clear, and they exposed me to an important cultural, social and political history and present that I now care about a lot. Breakfast and lunch were both always healthy and tasty, involving lots of their own olive oil and eggs with fresh veg. They made a real effort to make sure I was fed well which was great. Regarding the work, I appreciated the clarity of expectations and explaining why a task needed to be done. They have high standards but hold themselves to the same, and appreciate effort in doing tasks well. It was often physical, I spent a lot of time with the brush cutter clearing pruned branches alongside doing the pruning and moving rocks to repair retaining walls. I felt that time to myself and being included in family time was well balanced, I discovered that life off grid means every task takes a bit longer and so having time after lunch to sort myself out was definitely needed. Thanks so much - hope the olive harvest goes smoothly :)

Despite having stayed only 2 weeks I can say I learned quite a lot, the people from the farm went out of their way to answer all my questions. The team was pleasant and the work was quite varied (not much weeding :) The food was delicious. When I am around I will surely come back to the farm.

Karolina was not only "cantik" but also she was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient. Despite our village not being a typical tourist destination, she never hesitated to take photos with the villagers, which brought so much joy to everyone. She has been very helpful in teaching the children, always showing great care and patience. His warm smile and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on our community. We went to the swimming pool together,, had a exercise together in my village .it was nice experience with her. We loved to share our experience in teaching also talked alot about education. I wholeheartedly recommend her to assist at your place. I hope we can meet again someday. Thankyou Karolina

Lee stayed with us for around 2 weeks and we had such a great time together! She was an amazing climber and very knowledgable about lots of practical things which was very helpful to us on the farm. She got stuck in with all the work and activities, and helped in the kitchen too. Thank you Lee we miss you

We had a great experience with Louis and from the start he was friendly and easy going and always happy to help. He has picked up a love for climbing and we really hope to see him come back in the future! Thank you Louis!

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for David. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient. Despite our village not being a typical tourist destination, he never hesitated to take photos with the villagers, which brought so much joy to everyone. He has been very helpful in teaching the children, always showing great care and patience. His warm smile and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on our community. We went to see traditional dance together in my village .it was nice experience with him. And the happy weekend event was so more success because of his help and others. I wholeheartedly recommend him to assist at your place. I hope we can meet again someday. Thankyou David

This was one of our favorite workaway experiences!! The hosts and accommodations are top notch. Amy and Ken are genuinely kind and caring people! They really go above and beyond to make sure that your experience is positive. The hotel is a jungle oasis and the workload is very clear and manageable. It is nice to have the opportunity to earn commission from tour sales. The property is safe and all of the other volunteers we met on the team were really cool people. The little town of Dominical is quiet, but very charming. There is lots of wild life. We really fell in love with Dexter and Vince (cats) we miss them dearly. It was also great fun to take Marley and Disco to the beach, they are sweet dogs that will also win your heart. Overall I would give the experience more than 5 stars of I could. After we expressed to Amy that we were interested in hotel management she took extra time to teach us so much extra things that will prove to be valuable in the future. Thank you so much Amy and Ken for an amazing experience and we look forward to our paths crossing again in the future!!

I stayed with Béatrice and Gérard for three weeks over the summer, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. This was my first time doing a Workaway, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The People: Béatrice and Gérard are some of the most wonderful hosts you could ever meet. From the moment I arrived, I felt less like I was working and more like I was on vacation! They include you in everything they do , from day trips to visiting friends , and I truly felt like part of the family. Both Béa and Gérard work incredibly hard in their garden and with their horses. They show so much love and care toward their animals (and their dog, Oops!) that if I were ever reincarnated as a horse, I’d want to live with them. Béatrice is extremely kind and thoughtful and we had many great conversations about culture, family, and life. Gérard is always looking out for you — whether you’re in the paddocks or helping with the horses, making sure you’re safe and comfortable. He’s also very musical, often singing or humming around the house, which adds to the cheerful atmosphere. The Friends: If you come, you’ll probably meet Mathilde and Eliza, two wonderful young women who come to ride and care for the horses. They’re both incredibly passionate, funny, and welcoming. They’ll take you on trail rides and help you explore the beautiful countryside. They’re an amazing part of the extended family and made my stay even more special. You may also meet Xavier et Cyril who are also a fabulous part of the team. Overall: My three weeks with Béatrice and Gérard were unforgettable. Between the beautiful surroundings, the kind-hearted people, and the sense of belonging they create, this experience exceeded every expectation. I left feeling inspired and so grateful for the time I spent there. If you’re thinking of doing a Workaway with them, do it. You’ll make memories that will stay with you forever.

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for Flora. she was not only beautiful, but she was also incredibly kind, friendly, and patient. Despite our village not being a typical tourist destination, she never hesitated to take photos with the villagers, which brought so much joy to everyone. She had been very helpful in teaching the children, always showing great care and patience. Her warm smile and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on our community. I wholeheartedly recommend her to assist at your place. I hope we can meet again someday. Thankyou flora

Karolin è una ragazza splendida, dolce ed estremamente educata. Ha vissuto con la nostra famiglia per un mese instaurando un bellissimo rapporto con i nostri bambini. Si è occupata di insegnare l'inglese ai nostri figli per alcune ore al giorno e l'ha fatto con professionalità e serietà! Molto empatica e gentile, non giudicante nei confronti dei bambini ed estremamente rispettosa dei loro caratteri e delle loro caratteristiche individuali. È stato molto bello condividere passeggiate in città e alcune visite a mostre e musei. L'arrivo dell'autunno ci ha portati anche a stare parecchio tempo in casa tra libri, film e chiacchiere davanti ad una tisana calda, ma anche questo è stato molto piacevole ed arricchente dal punto di vista dello scambio culturale! Speriamo di riavere Karolin con noi presto!

Ryan stayed around 10 days with us and we had a good time together. His main work was the cutting of a lot of bushes (balls and hedges) with the garden shears. He did that with patience and perseverance! Also the other works he got done like we told him. He was well-organized and the communication was easy. We wish him a good time in Europa.

Honestly loved my time so so much here and am excited to come back! Vanessa and her daughters truly make you feel at home and part of the family from the second you arrive. I could talk about how lovely they are for hours! A beautiful home in a beautiful area with beautiful people! Being quite independent, Vanessa was very accommodating for this and let me have my own space and time whenever I wanted. She also accommodated my best friend who came to stay for a couple weeks which I am forever grateful for. Vanessa and the girls already know I'll be back soon and I miss them already!

Pit and Sarah were an absolute joy to have on our farm. Over their two-week stay, they showed much enthusiasm for learning about our daily life here. Their help around the house and farm made a big difference. They took wonderful care of our goats and spent time playing with our children, which we deeply appreciated, as they bonded with our kids easily and naturally. And their cooking was a real treat! We’d happily welcome them back anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend them to any future host.

The experience was very unique. Zezé welcomed me into his large and spacious home like family and explained everything in detail. He makes sure that everyone has everything they need to be comfortable. I helped a little with carpentry, cooking, cleaning, horses, and taking care of the puppies — which, by the way, are awesome and cosy. I fell in love with them and almost took one home with me. I liked that the tasks and schedule were flexible and everything was negotiable. Thank you! 🥰🙏🏻
