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.

I loved hosting Charlotte! She’s really kind, easy-going, and always happy to help. We had such a great time together, and I’ll keep wonderful memories of her stay. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

I spent just under one month here in Adria, and I had a great time! This was my first doing workaway, and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Elizabeth and her family were incredibly welcoming, the children were lovely, the teaching work was fulfilling, and integration into the community was made very easy by everyone:)

I spent 3 weeks at Keelung and had a great time. Mila is a flexible host and arranges tasks acordingly to your interests. I ended up preparing food, painting, hosting events for locals, and some cleaning. You get assigned tasks on Trello and sometimes the task description can be confusing so you will need to initiate and communicate with Mila. This happened a few times but Mila responded quickly and was able to answer any questions I had. As a volunteer, you have the oppurtunitiy to join the tours the organization organizes and I enjoyed them a ton. Besides volunteering, I had fun exploring the cute cafes, hiking, and visiting areas around Keelung. Taipei is only a 1 hour transit away so you can easily do days trips there and back. Thank you Mila for such a fun opportunity!

Had such a great time staying with Belinda! The place is comfy, there's a chill space to hang out in the evenings, and the pantry and fridge were always well stocked. Belinda is super friendly and explains everything clearly (also a booklet to help schedule your day). The town of Chidlow is also fun and there's enough to do around the town to keep you entertained for a few weeks. You do work, but I learned loads and had fun doing things I wouldn't usually do. Would happily stay again—you just need to love dogs and be ready to pitch in when needed. Thanks, Belinda!

J was a great help with the kids and got along with them very well. The lessons were fun and engaging, and the children really enjoyed learning with J. J is polite, kind, and lovely to have around. We truly appreciate the support and wish J all the best in future journeys.

Steve is your classic grumpy Taiwanese uncle. Sometimes, it is because he is grumpy or stressed, but really he is one of the best hosts I've had in my three workaway experiences so far. You can tell he cares for his volunteers by the way he remembers their names, his display of photos at his tea shop, and the way he tries to arrange cultural experiences for the volunteers. I was only at Steve's farm for a week but in the short time we had together, Steve became like a Taiwanese dad for me. Due to the rain and potential landslide hazard, there were a few days where we didn't end up going to the farm to work. Besides some physical work at the farm, like weeding, carrying logs, etc, I also helped Steve paint and wrote feedback on workaway (with my guai guai english according to Steve) . During my free time, I'd use the U-bikes nearby to bike around the city. Oftentimes, Steve would invite me out to eat with his friends, which was always interesting and delicious. Steve loves to talk. If sometimes you feel that he talks too much and want a break during the car rides, play one of his two favorite ABBA songs, Chiquitita or The Winner Takes It All, and you'll get to enjoy his singing instead. :) 多謝 Steve!

Going to a new workaway is always a surprise. You can read their profile and their reviews but you won't know if you like the place, the host and the tasks untill you get there. I arrived at Jan's place and was immediatly struck by the pretty garden. In my first chat with her she told me I was boring for not drinking nor smoking. And I thought oh, I know it's a joke but there seemed to be some truth in it. She likes party people. And here I am, an introvert. But she was kind nevertheless. Since the seperate cottage wasn't booked, I could stay there. Had my own place, but was always welcome to spend time in the main house too. Then, I got sick on the first night there. Jan was really kind about it, even said to just rest if I needed to. I thought she must hate me already. But she kept being kind, made dinner separately for me so I could have something light that I could eat while sick. Luckily I got better soon, she let me weed in the garden, let me do it at my pace and with any needed breaks. I wanted to work double since I didn't work the day before because I was sick. But Jan just said okay that's it for today go enjoy the weather. She invited me to join her when her friends visited and took me to town, both if I asked for it, as well as when she was heading there. I was always welcome to join. But only if I wanted to. Jan eats in front of the tv and is really informal. And I really liked spending time with her. Watching tv, chatting in the commercials, talking about life. Jan is real and I really like that, she is real and she is kind. She appreciated the work. It happened to be her birthday when I was there, and I am happy that I was able to be there for her birthday. I can really recommend Jan, she is an amazing host!

So happy we found this amazing eco-farm with inspiring, welcoming people and friendly animals in a stunning location! Matej is a great host, easy going, generous and full of energy. Work was flexible and varied with little projects to choose from. We were served delicious meals from the farm, with a daily supply of fresh dairy and cheese! A unique experience we'll treasure forever and a fantastic detox. Huge thanks!

Em stayed with us for almost three weeks and was a wonderful, uplifting presence in our little community. She arrived together with three or four other Workawayers and, as the eldest in the group, brought a calm, steady energy that gave everyone a sense of support and togetherness. She is genuinely curious, open and a great communicator — always interested in our way of life, happy to exchange ideas and stories, and quick to build connections with everyone around her. Em also has a lovely sense of humour and we shared many laughs during her stay. She cooks beautifully and contributed a lot to our shared meals and the good atmosphere in the house. We’re deeply grateful for her social spirit, her willingness to help and the warmth she brought to our place. We wish her all the best on her travels and hope our paths cross again one day. With gratitude, Laura & Andreas

I want to thank Yogendra and his beautiful family for hosting in July and making me feel welcomed and at home! The volunteering project itself is an unique experience of teaching kids and doing sport activities or leading creative classes, both were fun:) The kids are lovely and the teaching staff support you, especially the principal, he's a very convivial person. It's a great opportunity to discover Nepal and Newari culture, personally for me it was a great time which I will carry in my memories for many years ahead)
