We had a great time with Edd and Diana! They are so nice, amazing and supportive! We adjusted our schedule and contacted them the day before we wanted to stay, and they just gave us an instant response and say yes to us! We felt very grateful and Edd even picked us up at the bus transport centre. During the stay, we felt very welcomed and they always give us a lot of privacy. The house is now under the renovation, but everything is lovely and cozy. We stayed in the bedroom upstairs, and everyone shared the living room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom. We enjoyed a lot of time in the living room with the stunning lake view! 😊 About the food, Edd and Diana are very generous. Everyone can find something tasty from the panty and the fridge anytime, and we enjoyed the dinner together and always had a good conversation! Diana is so good at cooking, we loved pizzas, salads, couscous and the traditional British cuisine - "Toad in the hole"! 😋 They also took us to the Asian supermarket, and we cooked some Taiwanese food for them! The jobs here are not too difficult, the working time is very flexible. They always showed us how to do the jobs and explained the conditions to us in the beginning. We helped some gardening and renovation, and also washed the cars which we enjoyed a lot with music! 😉 When we didn't rent the car successfully, they gave us a huge support immediately and let us felt that they treated us as a family! We will definitely miss you both, and hope we can meet again someday! 🥰 Wish you all the happiness and joy, and we are so lucky to have a chance to participate in your renovation project!

as Alejandro said I came for 2 weeks but stayed much longer. the atmosphere and vibe was just so very good. we painted walls we broke down a wall. I put together an kitchen with old wood that was there and we planted some plants in the garden. Alejandro ist very chill plays music, cares and was there for great in depths talk. I can only recommend it it was a incredible experience thank you for allowing me to stay

I spent 2 months with this beautiful family, my goal was to learn some German, and to experience life in village, with family. Since first moment I felt accepted and welcomed. We shared a lot of great moments and great conversations. I learnt a lot about German culture and the way of living = I have had enough Wurst . Barbecues were something what I was really happy about, warm family atmosphere filled with joy, love and laughter. Amalia is such happy and playful child, you just can’t be sad when she’s around. I could hear her steps while she is running towards my room and I would smile before she enters. I loved to drink coffee with Justine and Matteo in the morning , and to chit chat little bit before I do my home tasks, than we would all have dinner together and talk again in the evening. I’m so happy that this was my first work away experience, so valuable, everything was even better than what I imagined. Such lovely people, looking forward to see you all again !

I spent three weeks here and I would have stayed longer if I didn’t have another commitment. I was so grateful that they were very nice since the very beginning despite my personal hectic schedule. The time went by so fast! I wish I could rewind and be slower because every second was precious. I love animals and ocean, and this place offered me the best of both worlds. I learned a lot taking care of horses and their rescue backstory which I happily forwarded to guests who came visiting us. I liked that they gave me a booklet beforehand of what works I would do, the hours and also a short explanation of the place and the horse culture in Gili T. It helped me managing my expectations and also preparing myself before doing the volunteering. I also appreciated their contributions to the local communities, providing care and medication for the local horses, not just stopping at rescuing animals which is already big. I enjoyed grooming, feeding, walking the horses, talking with people sharing our work while getting to know each horse in the stable and playing with foals. They were eager to teach you new things. I even had the opportunity to help treat a minor blisters. Also, it was rewarding when the horses give you their trust. Every day I had a new favorite! I also did a lot of scuba diving here. The sites of Gili are diverse, crystal clear and I liked that at this place they truly well maintain the gears and equipments, which seem small but a great deal when you are underwater. The instructors and the staff were super patient and chill, I improved my buoyancy and found the fun again in diving, even during an unexpected drift (which I would love to do again)!! I also got a little treasure from here: friendship with fellow volunteers, local staff and the people of Gili. They were one of the coolest and the most sincere people I met.

It was a real pleasure staying here for 3 weeks! Sandra and Micheal are really friendly host who are available for anything, even for great and open minded discussion ! I was the only volunteer 2 out of the 3 weeks I have been there, it was great to enjoy a peaceful time with the view and having my own space in the volunteer house. About the work, you will have a lot of things to do, especially in construction where the focus was when I was up here. You will have time to discuss with the workers and practise your Spanish. Do not forget to bring something as the city is more than one hour away. If you are looking for a peacefully place where you do not get bored, this is the place !

I originally planned to stay for just 4 weeks, but I ended up staying for 6 and I definitely want to come back. Kathy and Ged are incredibly kind, warmhearted people who are great communicators and easy to talk to. From the moment Ged picked me up, it felt like I never stopped laughing with him — it was a joy working alongside him. He was always around and happy to answer any questions I had. Kathy is also such a warm and caring person. Both she and Ged have a deep love for animals, which is truly inspiring. The landscape is absolutely beautiful, and being surrounded by nature gave me such peace of mind. One of my favorite things to do was to head outside a little early in the morning and have a chat with the horses. If you're patient and warm, you're sure to get some hugs in return. I also became very attached to their three dogs. Dusty loves going for walks, and we often watched wallabies together nearby. He could literally play with a ball all day long! Rosie and George are the cutest, and seeing them every morning always made me smile. The work itself is fun, and I really enjoyed being outdoors so much. Picking up poo when it’s really hot can be a bit tough, but there is plenty of time to rest and have a good breakfast with the other workawayers. Everything is well organized, and you’ll get used to all the different foods and hays. I promise! Kathy and Ged are incredibly hardworking, but even with their busy schedule, they always looked out for us — whether that meant giving us a lift or helping plan our days off in a way that worked best for us. In the kitchen, we often had great conversations about Australian history, horses, or just catching up and having a laugh. Every Friday, you can choose what you want from the shopping list (a bunch of options like tofu, lots of vegetables and fruits, canned food, muesli, and so on), and if you stay in the house, you’ll share the kitchen with them. I visited Samford Village (ate way too much yummy cake!), spent some wonderful days in Brisbane, and visited both the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. I met so many kind and wonderful Workawayers on the farm, and I learned a lot about horses. I’ll always remember this time fondly and would be so happy to return. Thank you for everything!

Jacob was an outstanding volunteer. He was easygoing, respectful, and always willing to help wherever needed. Jacob worked hard, communicated effectively, and truly cared about completing tasks properly. We valued both his company and his dedication to work. We would recommend Jacob without hesitation to any host. We wish him well in his future travels Kind regards Rosaleen & David

My husband and I had a very good time helping teach English at this Workaway. The tiny town is very friendly, welcoming, and safe. The staff are very helpful and kind. One of them even accompanied us on a hike up the nearby Pacaya Volcano. The English teaching is very easy and well-organized, with no planning necessary, and even first-time teachers can do it. Class sizes are very small (2-8 students), and in some classes, you are just assisting the actual teacher by having little conversations with the students in English. The students are all very sweet and eager to learn. The hours are great and fairly flexible. We had plenty of time to leave for 3 or so days per week to explore other parts of the country. We did have some trouble with water and internet for the first couple of weeks, but it was resolved as soon as possible. You just have to be patient with these things when traveling in a developing country, but having data on your phone can save you if you also happen to be working online while there. I think they recently moved the "apartment" mentioned in the profile to a bedroom and private bath over the institute. It was sufficient for what we needed, but that should probably be updated. He was great and very responsive to all our needs, even being on the other side of the world. We happened to be here during Guatemalan Independence Day and were invited to participate in the festivities with the staff and students, which was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed our time here and recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Guatemalan culture.

Adam's place is beautiful, I really enjoyed to visit him! He have a lot of knowledge about plants, wild life and homemade preparations! The atmosphere was always peaceful, enjoying nice conversations, reconnecting with nature... Thank you so much for your hospitality and congratulations for this new project!! ❤️✨🌱

Helena, Was a excellent workaway & was extremely capable in all her work challenges . Her methods of training & patience understanding shown towards my 7 yr old gelding were particularly impressive . Helena was a pleasure to have as a homestay , confident & independent in all aspects . Willing to help at any time if required. I would highly recommend Helena and genuinly wish her all the sucess for the future. Regards, Timothy

Ana fue una gran compañera, una mas de la familia, donde se adapto facilmente al ritmo y necesidades de cada momento, dispuesta siempre a dar ayuda en cualquier momento, mas allá del tiempo acordado. Atenta y muy organizada con los niños y con las labores domesticas, una gran ayuda y mucha tranquilidad de dejar a nuestros amores a su responsabilidad, creativa y sabe como conectar con los peques, un amor! Ojalá todas la experiencias sean así. Boa sorte Ana! Obrigados!

Gabriella was wonderful, what matters most to us about workawayers is attitude and Gabriella was 100% receptive, adaptable, always positive and cheerful! She communicated very well and it made it very easy and enjoyable to have her around. She enjoyed the work and was a great help in the garden, house and kitchen! What she didn't know she was eager to learn and go for it. I wish her all the best and many more happy workaway experiences!

I stayed with Robert and Lia for two months (august and september) It was one of the best experiences I have had for so many reasons. The accomodations are nice, comfortable, clean. The food is garden fresh / home made. The work was always interesting(making tomatoe sauce, apple sauce, cutting splitting stacking firewood) Most importantly communication was always easy, straight forward and honest. They were able to host me "last minute" which was also helpful. Last but not least, meeting their children and all their spouses and the many grandchildren was especially nice to see. We played lots of volleyball and played all types of games together. I thank God for bringing them into my life and bringing me into their lives!

I loved staying here. The hosts are super friendly, i feld very welcome. I love animals and i never been somewhere where they take such good care of their animals. The campside is beautiful and i loved wondering around there with my dogs. I'm not a hig fan of campsides hut i'm sure i'll visit this one everytime i'll be in the area.

Clemens came for two weeks but ended up staying almost 2 months. He was great helper and did a lot of things: kitchen furniture, art work, beekeeping help, started to set up a chiken coop, painting walls, amaizing cooking skills, great taste, demolish walls and clear toolroom neat all that with good music. We focus in a lot of work but also had a chance to go out at least a couple of times as he would prefers to be in Nature most of the time. He would be welcome back any time. He is eficient and responsible. 100% recomended.

C'était notre première expérience en Workaway et on ne pouvait pas mieux commencer ! Laure et Fabien sont des personnes attentionnées et très accueillantes, ils sont toujours partant pour partager ce qu'ils connaissent sur la région et partager de bons moments. Ils ont su parfaitement nous remercier pour le travail accompli notamment en nous proposant des activités avec les chevaux ou avec les chiens. On a eu la chance d'apprendre plein de choses dans beaucoup de domaines différents grâce à Laure et Fabien qui adorent échanger sur leurs connaissances et leurs expériences. Merci pour tous ces bons moments partagés, autant au travail que dans nos moments off. Merci de tout ce que vous avez fait pour nous ! À bientôt on espère

I had a really great time in Tuscany with Sandra and Oliver. It’s a beautiful, nature, focused place , so it is perfect if you enjoy camping life and being outdoors. It can get pretty hot, so it’s sometimes a bit tiring, but totally worth it. The horses were amazing, and I really appreciated the open communication with Sandra. She was always easy to talk to and helpful in finding solutions. Overall, a Great experience & I could learn a lot :)

We had a great time at Matteo's and Ane's, Asier's and Oihana's offgrid home. We stayed for 8 days which were filled with very varied work and fun hikes and trips to the beach. It was exciting to learn how they built their self-sustaining house with solar, wind and firewood heating and how it is all running. Some of our tasks were mowing, collecting walnuts, blowing the terrace, watering the plants, harvesting vegetables, cutting firewood, repairing a fence, feeding the chickens and walking the very friendly dogs. The work was fun and fair. Food was also great and plenty! We had a great culinary exchange. Matteo is a creative chef and inspired us with making his own yoghurt and cheese from cashews or simply very tasty (mostly) plant-based meals. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your home and family! We are very grateful for the time we had at Abatetxe. A-scary-kasko!

I've spent the most amazing week with Cole at her farm. Despite it being very short notice, it was exceptional and I got lucky she could take me in. From the start our communication was easy going. Cole is a great soul, kind and extremely knowledgeable about farm life, animals and life in general. Pack some wellies and rain gear, something warm and definitely sunblock, leave your phone behind as there's almost zero reception and no wifi and enjoy life at this very special place on earth. It is a farm, yes, with animal fur and dirt and there's a 'don't waste' approach. I'd go back any second if it weren't just on the other side of the world. thank you my dear friend x
