I stayed with Stef for one week, and it exceeded all my expectations! I had a great experience overall.

I believe Stef perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Workaway; sure, there's a job to be done, but more important to him is that you have a great experience while you're out there. He's not strict or rigid, and everything is done on trust and… read more

Ruben has been one of my favourite Workawayers! He was only here for one week, but he did soooooo much! He's incredibly handy and inventive. You give him some tools and materials and he can fix anything. He barely needs any input; one word is enough.I normally give my Workawayers a lot of freedom in how many hours they work and when they work, and… read more

My stay at the conservancy was out of this world. A unique opportunity to experience the true wilderness of Kenya. I worked in construction projects, side by side with the Kenyan builders that come from several different tribes and are eager to exchange stories and knowledge about different cultures. During the work I could practice Swahili with… read more

Ruben !

Ruben was the first volunteer we got through Workaway. Boy would I recomend him anywhere anytime !

He is the modern day MacGyver: flicking of snakes with a makeshift catapult, fabricating new tools out of a few pieces of metal, streamlining work procedures.

All this, in joy and playfulness.

Ruben knows a lot about hapiness and… read more

My stay at Homgoo's place was pretty short but I got the full experience! He took me to see the night market, we played at the basketball court and he even took me to a housewarming party. His passion for the community is inspiring and I've never done a workaway that was tailored as much around your individual skills.

I helped out by creating an… read more

Ruben, a very kind workaway. Willing to help the task that we arranged, and take the initiative to offer his ability of doing the digital animation, he is even teaching the other workaway to do the animation, so others is able to help after he is leaving. He is the best person to connect the workaways and the host with making a lot topics. Good… read more

Staying at the monastery was a truly special experience. I had no expectations beforehand and just wanted to see what it was like to live here for the sake of it and because I had never done anything like it before. I was blown away. Generosity is a keyword here. I never felt like I lacked anything during my stay, and whatever work we did was… read more

Rueben is a dream to have about the house and garden. We didn't have that many big projects when he was here but regardless he was in the right place at the right time for anything we needed. The children got on really well with him and we all enjoyed much time together. Should Rueben wish to come and stay you wont be disappointed. The sky is the… read more

From the first moment I met Bas, Mary and the kids I was welcomed into the family with open arms. The warmth and love that this family radiates for each other and their friends is inspiring and awesome. During my travels through France I truly experienced this place as my home away from home.

Bas and Mary have countless stories to tell, they… read more

It was really great to have Ruben as a Workaway with us for three weeks. He is a very charming young man with energy to burn, an extremely curious mind and an excellent work attitude. He was a great addition to our family meals, with many fun stories and interesting subjects to talk about. It was also really fun to jam with him as he is a talented… read more

From the first moment I walked through the gate I was welcomed with open arms into this family. Each and every one of them is open, considerate and generous. I've loved the meals we shared together, the music we made and the interesting conversations we've had.

It was a very pleasant workaway experience! Ruben works fast and he is acurate. He takes his tasks very serious and doesn't stop until he's finished. He has a very positive outlook on life and is a pleasant person to have around. I would sure recommand him to future hosts!

This was my first Workaway experience. I worked together with Jurgen and Monique for three weeks. They are a great couple that have found a way to build and live their dream in this part of France. From them I learned quite a bit about construction, restoration, painting and other useful tasks. More notably, their views and practice-based… read more
