A unique family and an unforgettable experience. That’s how we would describe the four months we spent with Mickey and her family. From the very first day, they were incredibly supportive and helped us so much during our first period in Australia. We can only say thank you! From Mickey and Steve, we learned so many things, and above all, we learned new values that we will always carry with us. The tasks to be done at home were varied and different, such as cleaning and organizing some areas of the wonderful house that hosted us. Other tasks required more energy but brought rewarding results and made us feel like part of the family. We will also never forget the morning walks with their dogs. We will always remember these moments spent with Mickey and Steve’s family. Max & Julia

Esteban discovered farm life / family life with us. He settled in very quickly and helped us a lot with the layout of the farm. Esteban is very dedicated; we wish him much happiness, and of course, the house will always be open! The family learn many words in english, and we as well to speack Spanish and French but was not so easy jajaja ! Thank you for everything Esteban !

Mike was very welcoming and made us feel at home right away. So did his dog Billy, he's very friendly and you're gonna love him. We had flexible working hours which was very cool. Most of the work we did without Mike, he gave us instructions and went to work in his office for a majority of the time. That gave us workawayers the opportunity to really connect and have fun together while working. Sometimes the work was a little physically demanding but it was amazing to see all the progress we've made during our 2 weeks. Mike always made sure that we had everything we needed and that the fridge was stocked. He even cooked us dinner a few times, when none of us wanted to cook :) .....Mikes house is really cool and he has a big living room/kitchen which was ideal to hang out together and watch some movies. He also owns a sunny deck which is perfect for yoga. Overall I enjoyed my stay at Mikes a lot and had a lot of fun connecting with all the other workawayers from all around 😊

I never imagined I would make an experience like this, and I am very happy about it. The beginning was not easy; adapting to a new environment and school routine forced me to bring out the best in myself. This experience is not only about helping children improve their English language skills, but above all about finding the key that allows them to learn while having fun in their own personal way. I also had the opportunity to attend a teacher's retirement ceremony, which was a special moment where I was able to wear traditional Thai clothes and watch dances and honours. The relationship with the teachers was also fantastic. There is good collaboration between them, and being part of this group makes you feel at home. The private room accommodation and the scooter at my disposal were essential. I recommend this experience to everyone. Being a teacher means looking at the future in the eyes of your students.

Vittoria and Antonio, two beautiful souls, welcomed me as if I were part of their family, with a generosity that warms the heart. Their presence is rooted in this land like the carob trees that surround it. In every gesture, in every word, they convey an ancient wisdom lovingly passed down through generations. I’ve learned so much from them—not only about traditions, cultivation, and respect for nature—but also about the value of listening, patience, and care. I am deeply grateful to have crossed paths with them. Vittoria e Antonio, due anime belle che mi hanno accolta come fossi parte della loro famiglia, con una generosità che scalda il cuore. La loro presenza è radicata in questa terra come i carrubi che la circondano. In ogni gesto, in ogni parola, trasmettono una sapienza antica, tramandata con amore da generazioni. Ho imparato tanto da loro—non solo sulle tradizioni, sulla coltivazione, sul rispetto per la natura—ma anche sul valore dell’ascolto, della pazienza, della cura. Sono grata per aver incrociato il loro cammino.

Anina and Jana stayed with us for two weeks and helped with all the chores on the Finca. They were both hardworking and pleasant young women with good communication skills. They also cooked for all of us, learned to take care of the horses and goats and enjoyed exploring the beautiful surroundings. They climbed Roques de Benets and found nice swimming spots in the river. We wish them succes with their respective job and studies

It was a pleasure getting to know Emma and having her dog-sit for two weeks while we were away. She quickly proved able to understand instructions and to adapt to the dogs’ daily rhythm. Her communication skills and maturity gave us complete confidence that we were leaving the dogs in the right hands. Although Emma’s main task was dog-sitting, she showed natural qualities and skills that would make her a valued volunteer in various settings. She is an outgoing and observant person who takes at heart what she does. We would be happy to host her again in the future and warmly recommend her to any host.

Volunteering at the hostel is always bit more demanding in the high season and Camille was the perfect person to help us during that time. Cleaning, helping at the reception, you name it, she was great in everything. The best thing though was her desire to learn everything about Veliko Tarnovo so she can give better information to the guests. As I said, the perfect volunteer for the high energy of the summer :)

I spent one month with Dakota and it was a wonderful experience. She is incredibly kind, caring, and very talented – I learned so many things from her. This was my first Workaway experience, so at first I was a little impatient and nervous. But when I met Dakota, I immediately felt at home. She has such a warm energy that makes you feel comfortable right away. Everyone around her is truly lucky 🍀 We used to run together in the mornings and worked on improving our diet. Her kitchen is always full of a variety of delicious food, and she is very generous when it comes to shopping. Dakota is skilled in so many areas – painting, gardening, and even renovating tools. She also has the most beautiful wooden house, which is really inspiring to see. I would definitely love to return again and I highly recommend her place to anyone. You will never regret it! Thank you so much dear Dakota 🤍

Martine stayed with us for three weeks and brought a lot of warmth and good vibes. She is super friendly, fun to be around, and our twelve-year-old son really enjoyed spending time with her. For work, it is important that both tasks and working hours are very clear and well-structured. Martine works at her own pace and is not the fastest, but with precise instructions she gets the job done and doesn’t give up – even if something needs to be redone, she tries again with a positive attitude. She helped us a lot by preparing beans for the winter and cooking delicious quince jam. We are thankful for the fun time together – and of course for the Danish evening! All the best on your journey!

My experience volunteering here was wonderful! I stayed for little less than four weeks and enjoyed every bit. I was welcomed right away and the place felt like home ever since. Jennifer is an amazing host and was very flexible with the schedules. I found the amount of work per week very good. In the mornings I would teach English at the school with the other volunteers and later help the kids at the academy with homework or something else. Everyday was different which I really enjoyed. During our free time we explored Quillabamba and surrounding areas with the other volunteers. The nature around is beautiful and the town itself has a lot offer as well. I would recommend this program for anyone who enjoys being around children and wants an authentic experience by making a difference in the community! Thank you Jennifer for having me and all the best in the future!

Andrea has consistently demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and adaptability in her role at the hotel. She has shown strong commitment to her work, always arriving on time and ready to learn and carry out the tasks assigned to her. In a hospitality environment where schedules and priorities frequently change, she has proven to be flexible and cooperative, willingly taking on whatever tasks were required to ensure smooth operations and excellent guest service. Her approach to work has been marked by quiet efficiency, attention to detail, and a calm presence that contributes positively to the hotel's atmosphere. After a while she handled responsibilities responsibly and delivered results without the need for close supervision.

Mout was an outstanding volunteer and an incredibly hard worker. His English was good enough for clear communication, and his willingness to engage was fantastic. He quickly became a great friend and is welcome back at any point. I highly recommend him!

Jan was an absolutely exceptional Workawayer! ​His communication was outstanding from the very start—prompt, clear, and totally stress-free. ​When it came to work, he was incredibly hard-working and dedicated. Jan consistently exceeded expectations, tackling every task with enthusiasm and great initiative. He truly earned this 5-star rating. ​Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Jan!

I can absolutely recommend Mika! We had a really nice time together. He's absolutely easygoing, and fit right in. Coming from the city, naturally somewhat unskilled with farm tasks, but that didn't matter at all, because he's highly motivated to learn new things, isn't shy to get hands dirty and is also very diligent. Thank you Mika for the yummy food you cook, and also for your patience with me regarding my weird pans 😂

Sara-Jayne was a wonderful woofer to host. She fitted in beautifully, was always polite, friendly, and easy to get along with. Every task she was given was completed to the best of her ability and with great care. We can highly recommend her, wish her all the very best for the future, and would welcome her back anytime.

I absolutely recommend Petra! She stayed with me for her first Workaway, and she got the hang of it very fast. She's an animal lover and ornithologist. She handeled and managed my dogs very well, and she taught me what kinds of birds we have in the garden and around here. She's a kind and wise soul, and easygoing. She 'sees work' as the germans say, cooks the best jam, and has the most amazing stories about South Africa. Hope to meet her there one day ❤️

Excellentissime séjour ! J'ai été super bien accueilli par Pauline et Raoul, les enfants aussi sont sympas, franchement j'ai comme fait partie de la famille, c'était agréable ! On mange ensemble, discute, parfois joue, fait de la randonnée, etc. Les tâches sont flexibles, moi j'étais content d'apprendre beaucoup : compotes/jus de A à Z fait maison(=de la cueillette à la mise en pots), soirée pizzas ; bricolage, construction ; aider Raoul pour le marché. La maison est "littéralement" (dédicace à Solène ahah) entourée de montagnes, et en voiture j'ai facilement pu visiter les magnifiques alentours (montagnes Rocheuses et lacs bleu turquoise!). Ah et en bonus les chocolatines et gâteaux de Pauline, yummy ! Bref si l'occasion se présente j'y retournerais sans hésiter !

We all deeply cherished Jamil’s calm, gentle, considerate, and authentic presence during his three-week stay with us. His protective and caring nature brought a sense of peace to the whole household, and his openness to receive and share was a true gift. He offered his help in so many ways — from cooking, cleaning, and playing joyfully with the children (who absolutely adored him), to scything, mowing, cracking stones, and carrying building materials with his strong and willing hands. He also joined us in pujas, read sacred scriptures with sincerity, and took part in satsangs and gratitude circles, always bringing his whole heart. What touched us most was seeing him gently unfold into a more simple, natural, and open expression of himself. Jamil was easy-going, kind, and always respectful, making it a joy to have him with us. We look forward with happiness to the day he returns to our home again.

We loved hosting Ali! He fitted right in with us, was easy going, fun and always super helpful in all aspects of work activities. Ali was always enthusiastic and going above and beyond any expectations. We wish him well on his bicycle adventure and remaining time in New Zealand.
