Jessica has consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication and reliability in her volunteer service. She not only follows the monastery’s guidelines with discipline and respect, but also approaches every assigned task with initiative and care—often going above and beyond what is asked. Her presence brings a sense of steadiness and support to the team, and her thoughtful contributions reflect a sincere commitment to the Dharma. We are always grateful for her efforts and wholeheartedly welcome her return to the monastery anytime.

Julia and Daniele were truly wonderful hosts – generous, kind, and welcoming from the very beginning. They created a warm and friendly atmosphere where I always felt comfortable and appreciated. The work was enjoyable and rewarding, and I also had plenty of time to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better Workaway experience, and I’m very grateful for the time I spent with them. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia and Daniele to any future Workawayers!

I am very glad that I had my first Workaway experience with Chris. Together with David, I stayed with him in Bullhead City for one month. From the very first moment, I felt Chris’s hospitality and his genuine willingness to make our stay an amazing one. He answered every question we had on a wide variety of topics in great detail, which really helped me gain a better insight into life in the United States. I truly enjoyed the different activities we did together, such as kayaking, shooting in the desert, visiting the Hoover Dam, and attending a football game. The highlight, however, was our unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon. I am very grateful for this time and can only thank Chris for everything he did for us.

I first met Nikhil during one of his chanting sessions in Auroville, which was held at Serendipity Hall. Later, when I heard about his plans to create a Bhakti Yoga retreat, I felt inspired to work with him. I believe it will be a wonderful addition to Auroville and a beautiful opportunity for anyone who wishes to volunteer here.

She is prompt and upto and exceeded expectation Thanks

Staying with Jelena and Thibaut was incredible! They are so welcoming and will make you feel at home. They pay a lot of attention to make you feel confortable and to your needs. It was my first time working in construction but with Thibaut's help and patience I learned a lot. The kids are the sweetest and playing with them was so much fun! Unfortunately there was a problem with the car but they were very accomodating and we could always find a solution to this and I was still able to make to most of my free time. I cannot recommend this experience enough and hopefully I'll be able to go back!

Antonio and Ania are two truly beautiful souls and I consider myself very lucky to have found them. They are incredibly kind and uplifting and were always more than happy to include me in both their community and the planning of future projects. Working in their garden, taking care of the plants, helping to preserve food in as many ways as we could think of and harvesting the fruits of our labour (and then eating them) was honestly so much fun. The area is beautiful, the people are kind and Ania and Anto were incredibly accomodating of my occasionally wacky schedule (I was looking for an apartment in my free time). Also spending my summer sleeping in a tent was both really nice in the heat and super nostalgic. All in all I spent 3 month here and it's turned my summer into a very fulfilling experience and I really can't recommend it enough! I wil definitely keep in touch.

We had a wonderful time with Wan and the ten days he stayed passed too fast! The first day he was already helping me with unloading the car from the market and collecting walnuts. I could count every day with his help and was happy to see that he was definitely not afraid to get his hands dirty! He is very polite and knows how to behave as a guest but also became fast a part of our big family. We hope to see him soon again and wish all the best for the studies and whatever life is presenting!

Michelle stayed with us for four nights and decided to continue her travels. Even though it was a very short time for us, we found that Michelle is a genuine, intelligent and friendly person who is easy to get along with. She made sure to come home earlier from the city on her last day just to spend some time with our older daughter , and it was very sweet of her to bring me some flowers. She cuddled the baby when she’s crying which I really appreciate. Not only did she help out around the house , she also gave some good accounting tips to our camera business. Thank you Michelle .

Laura is on a short trip to Australia and wants gain lots of experiences in a short time. She was ready and willing to learn and to do a variety of work during the week that she stayed with us. She also made sure that in her spare time, that it was used to do the things that are unique to the current opportunities. Laura approached each day and each new tasks with enthusiasm and care........ being careful that she was doing the tasks as requested. We wish Laura all the best with her continued travels in Australia and hope that she continues to develop that understanding and appreciation of herself in her interactions with life and with others. We would welcome Laura back when she happens to revisit this area sometime in the future.

Five stars without a doubt! Julio helped us in many ways: he prepared the garden beds for seasonal planting (including mixing the soil blend himself and installing frames to protect the crops from birds), cared for the trees and animals, monitored the composting process, did extensive work during the spring cleanup of the farm grounds, including mowing and collecting grass, and assisted us in restoring an old fireplace. He also helped with many daily routine tasks. He is open-minded, learns quickly, genuinely loves animals and nature, and is a very neat and responsible person. His calm, friendly, and remarkably mature demeanor deserves special mention. We can confidently recommend him to any host and have no doubt that he can be an excellent volunteer in any kind of project.

I only had the chance to spend one week with Bert and Ewen in Castalla, but what an amazing week it was!!! Bert is an incredibly welcoming and warm person and he made me feel very well cared for and relaxed during my stay. From cooking me delicious Spanish food, to taking the three of us on excursions to the beach and to his parents house/swimming pool and around town, there was always something fun to do! Ewen is a fun and curious boy with plenty of energy, we played many games and even built a tank out of cardboard and blankets in the living room! I also got to see Ewen show off his impressive tennis skills and look forwards to playing him in the future! Whilst I spoke in English for the time that Ewen was around, Bert also gave me a great opportunity to practice my Spanish with him, I also made a day trip to the beautiful city of Valencia. these experiences have been invaluable for me and I really feel like I have benefited from this exchange.I highly recommend Bert and Ewen as workaway hosts and I hope to see them again in the near future :)

We spent almost 3 weeks here. It was an amazing time and we felt very comfortable. During our visit, we worked about 5 hours a day from 8 am until 1 pm, with free weekends to visit the big cities Bordeaux and Toulouse (amazing!!). The tasks were varied, for example gardening/weeding and cleaning the guest rooms. After work, The host always cooked the most delicious meals for us, which is something we looked forward to every day. As well as the bag of croissants and other baked goods, he always gave us after lunch. In the afternoon and evening, we could always do what we wanted. We used the free time to explore the cities and villages nearby, and the family always had great tips and showed us the best places to visit. We felt very active and productive the whole stay and made a lot of great memories. The campervan was very comfy and we really felt at home. It's well furnished and equipped and we had everything we needed. Once a week, the host went shopping for us, so that we could cook our own dinner in the camper van. And we could also always steal some tomatoes and onions from their garden if we wanted to. The family is very friendly and kind people with a great sense of humour. They gave us a warm welcome from day one. Even though they both work very much and very hard, they always had time to exchange stories and laugh with us. With each day we felt more sad that we would have to leave. The two have built themselves an incredible and beautiful home and it's amazing how much they did on their own. But of course, with such a huge property, the work is never finished ;). We feel really lucky to have met you both and we hope we'll be able to visit you again some day! We wish you all the best!

Peace volunteered with us as a Workawayer for one week and was an outstanding, highly cheerful, motivated, and outgoing member of our self-sufficiency project. She primarily assisted with tasks related to our garden and Herbfarm operations. Her work included preparing garden beds and harvesting/processing herbs for our natural food supplements. She also provided excellent help with event preparation for a small party. Peace demonstrated a strong work ethic and a genuine interest in our operations, taking on every task with enthusiasm. She also shared her culture by preparing a delicious Nigerian specialty meal for us. Despite the short stay, she proved to be highly reliable and easy to communicate with. We wholeheartedly recommend Peace for future Workaway experiences. She will be a delight to any host.

It has been a delightful experience to greet Barry. He is full of distinction and discretion, shows interest in everything that is going on . He is a friendly and pleasant person with a great love of nature and birds. He painted our outdoor tables and chairs with perfection, a great job that he accomplished beautifully. We shall miss his warm heart and hope to see him again. T hank you Barry! Sheela and Claude

I spent two weeks in the second half of last July with Cecile and Nishant, and they were great! Cecile and Nishant are super welcoming and I’ve instantly felt like we were three flat mates and friends sharing life. The work schedule was flexible so that we could arrange it in the best way, always by talking in advance. The tasks were various as there are many things to do for the projects that Cecile and Nishant have in mind. I got the chance to learn many new things about gardening (seeding, digging and many informations about how to grow vegetables), I painted some things, cleaned the basement and then I’d help for the everyday life tasks like vacuum or taking out that beautiful dog named Vadoo. My accommodation was a bedroom just for my self and I also had my own bathroom with shower and since I stayed in the basement I had a lot of privacy. The whole house is very nice, with the garden and a beautiful piano (but you will also find a guitar and a ukulele!). The most important thing are the human relationships that we could build during those weeks. As I said, Cecile and Nishant will welcome you in the best way and from the beginning I perceived them as friends. They are very active people, with a lot of ideas and they always included me when they had some plans ( for example one day we had a dinner with their family and I didn’t feel as a stranger at all). We got to talk a lot during and after dinners, me and Cecile played and jammed together and I still miss a tennis game or a run with Nishant! I really hope that we can meet again, either in France or in Italy, and I recommend to everyone to go doing workaway at their place! P.s. don’t forget to ask Nishant for a chai!!!

Everyone here made us feel so welcome from the moment we got there. This was our first workaway and we’re so pleased that we had such a positive experience. We learnt so much about permaculture and one day we hope to use some of what we learnt on our own little farm! The daily tasks varied which meant that we learnt a lot about different aspects of the farm - the animals, the plants, the composting and the use of fruit and vegetable scraps to create eco enzymes and fertiliser. We got to try a lot of delicious Indonesian food and we’ve even sought out Martabak since we’ve left! Thank you to Tasya and Afif for welcoming us to your permaculture farm and thank you to Ismi and team for your warmth and kindness. Many thanks, Hannah and Sam

I had a wonderful experience staying at the dog shelter. The host is very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. From the first day I felt comfortable and appreciated. Working with the dogs was both fun and meaningful — they each have their own character, and it was great to be part of their daily care. The tasks were clear and manageable, and there was always support when needed. I truly recommend this place to anyone who loves animals and wants to contribute to a good cause while learning and enjoying a positive environment. Thank you for this experience! 🐶

Selma stayed here for two and a half weeks, and she was a pleasure to host. She is hard-working, dedicated, and respectful of the space. She is observant, proactive, and takes initiative, always bringing a positive attitude to the work. Her contributions included land maintenance—removing olive tree shoots, cutting grass and overgrowth, sawing branches for firewood, preparing mulch, and picking carobs. She also helped with laying geotextile around the house, covering it with sand and gravel. It was physically demanding work, and she made a real difference here. Reliable, supportive, and a joy to have around, I can wholeheartedly recommend Selma to other hosts.

This was my first Workaway experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Before coming I was a bit nervous about how it would be, but all my worries disappeared on the very first day. Akino san is patient and helpful, and even though at the beginning I wasn’t sure how to fit in, she explained everything to me. The kids were so polite and fun and their parents are very kind and curious about my culture. One family even invited me to dinner, which was so nice. I also met a French workawayer here with who we became friends! Overall this was an unforgetable experience and a highlight of my trip. I couldn't recommend this enough. Thank you so much Akino-san for welcoming me! Hope to see you again.
