we felt embraced by their world of nature, animals, good food, light and deep conversations, games,good vibes — such a perfect balance. we are grateful to have been part of their project by working in the garden ! The care, attention, patience, gentleness, and openness they shared with us will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The two weeks I spent in Fritzlar were amazing! It was my first experience as a Workawayer. Everyone was so kind and welcomed me into the family right away. Tanja showed me around the area, and I was able to discover the beauty of both Fritzlar and Kassel. The work was enjoyable and not difficult, and I especially loved spending time with Panda, the cats and the horses on the farm. It was such a pleasant experience, and I truly recommend doing a Workaway here. You will create beautiful memories! Thank you so much to Tanja and all the family for this wonderful experience!!

Staying with Val was truly a pleasure. I was there for 2 months and enjoyed every bit of it. Val was patient and kind and always open to show me new things. I learned a lot about the horses as well as farmwork in general during my stay, and the rural area allowed for some cool wildlife spottings as well. Together, we got some stuff done on the paddock and looked after some of the fences. We didn't just work, Val also took me out to see things on my days off and we spent relaxing evenings together. I am truly grateful to have had someone like Val as my first host, and I would advise anyone to come stay with her if they enjoy being around horses, nature and lovely people. Thank you, Val :)

A Truly Perfect Experience Yuvaraj and Saumya are the most incredible hosts – I had a perfect experience, one of the best of my entire trip! The work at the site was super interesting and educational, and staying at Yuvaraj and Saumya home was simply wonderful – warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. Everything was just perfect. I wouldn’t change a single thing! During my stay in the village, I unfortunately got injured (totally my own fault and unrelated to the work), and both Yuvaraj and Saumya took care of me like I was their little brother. They gave up so much of their precious time just to make sure I was okay and felt comfortable. I can't thank them enough for that. Yuvaraj and Saumya – if you're reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I already miss you and can't wait to see you again. And for anyone reading this and still hesitating – stop thinking and just write to Yuvaraj. You won’t regret it!

Hi, I had such a wonderful and unforgettable experience there. The school is so beautiful and I really liked spending time there. Everyone was so welcoming and kind so I felt really comfortable around them. The kids were so cute and working with them was so fun. Thank you again for everything. It's an experience I will never forget. :))

Before I went to Cappadocia, I was a little anxious. I worried that my stay would be too short to have a full experience of Cappadocia, that I might not manage the duties of ‘kitchen’ and ‘photography & video’, and that perhaps I would fail to capture the beauty of this gorgeous hostel through my lenses. On the first day I was almost like a soldier before battle—raising my camera with nervous hands, afraid the results would only disappoint. But my worries quickly melted away. Not only was every person in the hostel kind and welcoming, there were also a few fellow photography lovers with whom I could learn and share. Above all, the hostel itself was so beautiful, and Ali himself—so agreeable and gracious—praised my photos and videos with such warmth that my confidence grew. I am truly grateful. In my free hours, beyond editing the images I took, I joined new friends from the hostel to watch the sunrise and sunset—an experience that felt like life itself. In this faraway land I met so many kind and joyful souls, and Ali’s hostel seemed to carry a magic: everyone who entered looked happy. Thank you for everything I experienced in Cappadocia. I hope we shall meet and work as a team again :-)

In Köyceğiz, I spent five truly delightful and unforgettable days with a family who gave me the happiest time of my stay in Turkey. The lady of the house, Zade, was gentle, kind, and wise in all her ways. She kept everything in perfect order and would kindly remind me to organise my own room neatly. Each time I met her serene eyes and tender smile, I could not help but smile in return, as if in the presence of an angel. The man of the house, broad-minded and most gracious, spoke with humour and learning of his fondness for Japanese geisha and the art of tea, and often shared with me insights from his studies in psychology, from which I gained much myself. The children were pure-hearted and endearing, full of curiosity, love and joy. They loved taking photographs in the garden with me and my cameras. We swam, played games or practiced Chinese calligraphy together. We also exchanged languages—German and Turkish from them, and Chinese, Japanese and English from me. Thus, what began as volunteering soon became the forming of dear friendship. Wherever in the world we may be, I hope for our paths to cross again, and perhaps for us to spend longer days together. Till then, look out for my seasonal greetings and take care.

My experience at Liz's place was highly pleasant, recharging and exciting at the same time. Tasks were easy to handle and very diverse. Liz was always very fair, helped with every question and I always felt taken care of. I worked on things I felt comfortable with and was never pushed. Liz and Chloe, her daughter, are very kind and open minded people who are happy to share their home with people around the world. As a guest, you definitely feel very welcome and you are given lots of space and time to explore the surroundings. On the country side spontaneity was a bit difficult, though, because there's no public transport. But Liz and Chloe were there to give a lift or even spent time together in the small village/town nearby. I'm already missing our conversations after dinner on the porch enjoying the warm Canadian summer breeze after a hot day! In Montreal city there's so many things to do and see and the bus goes just a short walking distance from Liz's town house. Many thanks to Liz for showing me the 'Meetup' app through which I found a couple of new friend, went on trips, cafes, bars and even on a concert in the Bell Centre. You can even go on a weekend trip to places nearby by train or coach. I've been to Toronto and have seen the Niagara Falls which was a stunning and a unique experience! All in all, I had a wonderful, wonderful time in Canada. It's not even possible to express everything here in words and I hope I was able to transmit it at least a little bit. Again, I thank Liz and family a lot for their hospitality and highly recommend to stay at their place if you get the chance. Hope to see you again in future :) Sehri

Matthew stayed with us for about a month. He is well traveled , energetic, adaptive, quiet and easy going person. Thanks to him, many decorative small gardens around the house have been transformed. I appreciate his persistence in fixing the lawnmower to cut the grass. Willing to cook vegetarian food for me and tidying up the kitchen after meals. He helped us with everything we needed. We enjoyed good conversations, swimming, walking around the island, cooking, watching movies and having coffee/beer in the town. He was a pleasant company with good manners and humor. Thank you very much for your help Matthew! We wish you the best in your travels and in your life!

My stay with Thea and Charlie was wonderful! I stayed for three weeks.They did welcome me from the first minute and took care, that I did feel well at all times during my stay. I can descripe Thea and Charlie as warm-hearted, open-minded, creative and honest hosts.The place they stay in is quiet and beautiful with wonderful nature. The river beach close by was defenetly my favourite place to go to in my free time. Thea and Charlie build the workaway- exchance on the base of trust. We worked mostly in the morning hours from 7 to 11 am, but I was free to choose also to work at a different time. Thea and Charlie even invited me to day-trips , so I got to see different places in the surrounding area. All in all I want to say: Thank you so much Thea and Charlie for this time full of joy.

I couldn’t have imagined a better start with Workaway! Mary is such a lovely woman. We only stayed with her and Padraig for 2 weeks. I wish it would’ve been possible to stay longer! When we arrived, I immediately felt at home. She was so welcoming. Padraig wasn’t always home but when he was, it was fun to be around him. Mary showed us lots of places (including 3 pubs) and we got to meet her wonderful neighbors and family! We mainly worked outdoors; lots of weeding, transplanting flowers and cutting lavender, as well as painting a bookshelf. On some days she worked right by our side. In our free time during the week we weren’t able to do much because the public transport wasn’t that good, so we went hiking, explored the area or went kayaking with Mary. Overall, we had a great time and I hope to go back someday and I highly recommend this host for a delightful cultural exchange!

Mary is a very kind and caring person and made us feel at home right away. She is a very active lady, that loves to help people wherever she can. It was such a pleasure staying with her and perfect for our first workaway experience! The work was mostly weeding and clearing some areas. On rainy days, we did some painting, which was really fun. Mary was never strict with work hours. In our freetime, we went hiking, kayaking and on many walks in the area, where she would tell us about the history and cultural significance of many places. A lot of times, her son Martin would visit and we also got to know the lovely neighbour Dan and his Grandma Patsy. Mary's husband Padraig was mostly on the road but when he was home, it was always a fun time. We got to know so many people and never felt lonely! It's a wonderful family and a wonderful community in the village. We've had many many interesting conversations about german and irish culture. I loved hearing about all the adventures that Mary and her loved ones experienced, they always had exciting stories to tell. I already miss her and her family 💕 We had the best time in Kilkeeran!

João was a huge help this summer. He enriched our group with his presence, both at work and in our free time. His independence and keen interest in daily tasks made him a pleasure to work with, not to mention his culinary skills. I highly recommend João as a Workaway and would welcome him back at any time!

I’ve spent 10 awesome weeks with Cam and Jeanne at their place on Gambier Island. It was my very first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have found a better place or better people to make it truly unforgettable. Their property is stunning, and I had the opportunity to work on various projects : building stairs, fan installation, drywall, building a gate, cutting wood with the chainsaw… But the main project I worked on was to build a shower, from the drywall all the way to tiling. The work is really varied and staying for a long time gave me the opportunity to work on many different things. Cam and Jeanne were always there to answer my questions, and they have a lot of knowledge about construction. I learned a lot from them. They are both lovely people. In fact, Cam is known as “the kindest guy on the planet ;)”. We spent our evenings listening to all the stories they have to share (they both are incredible storytellers !) and playing board games. I’ll never forget the atmosphere there, it really felt like home. The island itself, its wildlife and landscapes are just breathtaking. And if you enjoy running, you’ll find an awesome playground. Thanks again for everything ! Alan

A cool young guy. He did a great job on my house by improvising as a tiler. great worker, big friend, i'll miss him 🙂

What an incredible experience!! I was only staying with Millie and Suha for a short time, but every day was an opportunity for new activities. The morning yoga and group meals creates a lovely close group, where I always felt comfortable and happy. I will miss the garden but hope to be back one day to conquer some more climbing walls!

Charlotte is an absolutely amazing person, and we were delighted to welcome her as a volunteer this summer. Her clarity, helpfulness, thinking along and openness to new tasks made her a great help on the land. I would highly recommend her as a volunteer and we would love to see her again!

What an amazing experience! Isaac and Kleaw were great hosts who always made me feel very comfortable and were on hand for any questions or problems I may have had. Working on natural constructions was so interesting and I learnt so much! Thank you Isaac and Kleaw and good luck!

Leo was a wonderful volunteer at our place and his presence made our group complete during the summer. He is extremely friendly, helpful and willing to take on any task. Together, we completed tasks that we had never done before, working perfectly as a team. I would highly recommend Leo as a volunteer.
