In what seemed like a very short week, Merel achieved a lot in my winter-neglected garden. She’s very caring and thoughtful and worked really hard all the time. And in the kitchen she made some amazing dishes; I haven’t eaten so well for a long time! Always healthy and always very tasty dishes. I wish she had stayed longer and I want to wish her every success in her new career. I know she’ll succeed as she only gives her very best.

I had a lovely few days with Laura and her daughter Luz. Laura is an incredible artist, her paintings are stunning. It was amazing to be a part of their lives for these couple of days. I loved their unique and creative home. Landscapes and beaches in San Jose are out of this world. Also, I did marketing for Laura and her art while I was there, and I'll continue to do that when I get back home. We stayed in touch and I look forward to coming back to San Jose. This was my first ever Workaway, so I've been extremly lucky to match this well with Laura.

Shayna was a fantastic helper. Great in garden and all round super company. Always happy to jump into anything that was asked of her with pure gusto and enthusiasm. We had many interesting conversations together and I found her to be a breath of fresh. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime.

Duncan is very hospitable and takes good care of his workawayers! He can tell you everything about restoring old houses and castles, but also about living in France. I had a great time and also received a lot of appreciation for my work. The home for the workawayers is really located in the countryside of France. A beautiful rolling landscape with flowing rivers. Duncan, thank you for this wonderful experience!

I stayed here for three weeks as my first ever workaway and I am very happy I decided to come here. My arrival was slightly chaotic as I arrived on Victor's birthday, but it ended up being a good Spanish practice and after that I felt at home super quickly :) The work was very diverse, there was always a project that could be done and the working hours were very flexible. We usually worked a few hours in the morning and then had the afternoon free for ourselves. I really enjoyed spending time with the other volunteers as well and we would usually cook our dinners together. Victor and Lexie are super nice and genuine people and I can 100% recommend staying at this place :) Lots of love to the animals as well!

Lan-Anh is a sweet and curious girl. Having her with us at the school was a great thing. She was always willing to learn and shared her knowledge with the students and the staff. She always had a genuine concern for making her classes fun and enjoyable. At home Lan-Anh always followed all the rules, she is a respectful person, very calm and good-humored. She likes to be involved in everyday activities such as cooking. Conversations with her were always fun because she has many questions about our way of seeing and feeling the world. Thank you Lan-Anh, you will always be welcome at home and in our school!

Wow it was an undiscribable, wonderful, heart warming and fun time full of action and at the same tame full of connection and tranquility... I came to spend 10 days here and stayed 3 weeks in the end (always adding a few more days because I just couldn't say good bye to this place and its wonderful people). We had the most delicious pizzas on the pizza night and I experienced my biggest adventure so far with this group: the hiking up the Misti Volcano... 🌋 I'm often looking at the pictures, smiling when I think about all the beautiful moments I spent here. Maybe one day I will come back, let's see where my travel is taking me:) Thank you Santi!!!🌞🫶

Thais and Uli are very friendly hosts, I stayed there for two weeks and learned many new things. They often show me how to use limited resources to build a sustainable life, not to mention their architect Marcos also taught me many Maya languages and cultures. Muchas gracias Thais y Uli!! Kent

I've been helping Nicolás with his house in a lovely village near Soria. He's so kind and has a lot of patience teaching building techniques, in which he's an expert. It was very inspiring to see all the things they have reached by putting their energy and focus and how the project is evolving. And at such a young age! I really had a great time and learnt a lot. If you want to learn about construction, this is the place. And he's also a great cook! The village is small and has very few population as most villages in the area, but it's surrounded by calm and beautiful landscapes. It seems a perfect place to get to write, compose... Anywyay if you're into party, ask Nicolás, he probably knows some places not far away. Wish to come back soon!

Maximilien à une belle ouverture d'esprit, prêt à apprendre et à mettre les mains à la pâte au propre comme au figurer. Il a été d'une grande aide pour la fabrication des cadres de fenêtres pour la future serre. Très débrouillard. Merci pour cette belle expérience

The three weeks I spent with Jacqueline, Cowboy Steve, and the rest of the herd was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my traveling life! Their hospitality, loving acceptance, and dedication to the care of animals made me thank the kind spirits for each day I was able to share in their lives and the beautiful community of Rust Op Twist. In addition to learning so much more about the principles of Natural Horsemanship and the ethical treatment and training of horses, I feel as though I've grown into a deeper, more patient person; inspired by each wondrous experience and the benevolent energy that fills the air.

Audrey is a wonderful person! She enthusiastically jumped into whatever project we were working on. Audrey helped cut bricks, organize reclaimed materials, move drywall, volunteer with foodshare, and build a storage shed. In her short time here, she saw an impressive amount of sites around town. Eight-year-old Audrey was not thrilled about having to share her name, but after Workawayer Audrey spent some time making earrings with her after dinner, she warmed up to the idea and everyone was extremely grateful that Workawayer Audrey decided to spend her spring break with us:)

It has been a great pleasure hosting Jan. He is a very considerate and delightful company. Jan's participation in the social and cultural life at the farm was fantastic, he is a great guitarist and we enjoyed many a jam session. Jan was conscientious in his work and was always prepared to take the initiative to ensure that household chores were carried out well. Jan is an excellent and inventive cook. Workwise Jan helped with pruning fruit and olive trees, looking after animals, cutting firewood and construction of an organic swimming pond. Thank you Jan for all your valuable and much appreciated help. I hope you return someday to try out the organic swimming pond.

I volunteered here for around 3 and a half weeks and absolutely liked it. The hostel is directly at the beach and work is compared to my other work away experiences quite chill, which makes it an ideal option if you want to (learn to) kite surf during your free time. Nataliya is a great Host! Thanks again for your warm welcome in Cabarete!

This is pretty late but Luigi and Elena are so so sweet and really went above and beyond for the volunteers. They even bought us multiple panatones :). The cows were a lot of fun to work with and I was lucky to be there when the vet came to give them a checkup. After noticing I was interested in animals, Luigi made sure to explain everything to me so I'd get a chance to learn. The area has amazing hikes and they have lots of books to look through. Their border collie gave birth while I was there so I got a chance to look after the puppies which was adorable. I learned so much and recommend it to everyone. Thanks Luigi and Elena!!

We feel extremely lucky and grateful for the three months (Dec-March) spent in Martvili at Ema's, Woody's and Max's hostel; it has been our longest stay ever at a volunteer place. These guys have done magic to transform an old countryside house into a special gem; it will wow you since the moment you set your foot in. The cozy kitchen/living room is always filled with delicious vegetarian home prepared meals, good-mood music, and diverse people from all walks of life. We were able to learn a lot here; all sorts of skills are appreciated, either in the garden or with construction, cleaning, babysitting, and so on. You will most probably fit in this environment no matter your background, as they are very flexible to adapt to everyone's needs, personalities and abilities. On our time off were able to see the hot springs nearby, the beautiful local weekly market, waterfalls, churches and the monastery. It's worth it even just walking around the small streets nearby the hostel, filled with cows and pigs, to meet the lovely Georgian neighbours. We will definitely miss this place and its people, the calm days, the busy days, the slow mornings, the deep talks, long dinners, Ema's cakes, Woody's sense of humour, and of course Aurorini's smile. Thank you for your generosity, guys ❣️we will see you again!! Anna and Ghazi

Our time at Javier's place was absolutely wonderful. The land is totally peaceful and serene. Beautiful views, lovely atmosphere and plenty of activities to get up to in your spare time. My partner Julien and I had the most amazing time there, we explored rock pools, went snorkeling on Coiba, went fishing and got some relaxation time in. The work is easygoing and Javier is very patient in describing what he wants done. Thank you for sharing your space with us Javier, it was a really nice experience!

An amazing place with even more amazing people! I’ve now visited Skrova both in summer and winter and cannot recommend it highly enough. There is always a relaxed, happy atmosphere on the island and Monica and Mario are genuine, lovely people who take a personal interest in every visitor and will make sure your visit is special. My work was split between working on the renovation of the guesthouse and helping in the restaurant. There were always clear instructions given on what to do and the working environment was very pleasant. There was also room for some flexibility in the work schedule allowing plenty of time to explore the beautiful island and surrounding areas. Thank you both again for the wonderful times with you, I can’t wait to return again, Matt 😊

Want to do the same thing every day? Don’t come here😆. Tasks are varied and interesting, from chickens, gardening, dehydrating various garden products and more. Mikki has created an oasis right outside of Dubrovnik. Her profile accurately describes the tasks. I enjoyed my time getting to know her, the projects and hope to stay in contact!!
