It was so hard to leave Andrea's! The house and garden is a little paradise of fruit trees and cute animals. The work is reasonable and fun. Andrea is super kind, very clear in her expectations and everything is exactly as described on her profile. She helped me improve my Spanish and occasionally cooked some Bolivian specialties! Don't hesitate and go for it !!!

Juli querida!Thank you so much for your beautiful words! 💛 You were an amazing volunteer, and we are truly grateful for all your energy, enthusiasm, and dedication during your time with us. Your positivity and willingness to help in every task really made a difference, and we would highly recommend you for any future projects. It was such a joy to have you with us, and we’re so happy you felt welcomed and supported. Your presence added so much to the team, and we hope to see you again in another project sometime! Lo mejor para ti siempre ! Gracias

Muchísimas gracias a Daniela, Rodrigo y Tahel! 🙌🏻 Alojarnos con ellos fue una experiencia increíble, y trabajar con Rodrigo fue un verdadero placer. Pasamos una semana en su hermosa propiedad, que cuenta con varias estructuras ecológicas rodeadas de bosque y animales. 🍃🐕 El trabajo fue enriquecedor y agradable. Las comidas fueron muy abundantes, variadas y deliciosas. Pasar la Navidad con ustedes fue un verdadero placer. Gracias de nuevo por esta semana y gracias por su paciencia con la barrera del idioma Manouche y Man’s ❤️

I stayed with this family for 2 months, and I can’t describe how happy I am to have had this opportunity. From the very beginning, they welcomed me as part of their family, and I immediately felt at home. The work was easy to understand and well explained, and I had access to all the tools I needed to make life easier. In the evenings, I really enjoyed the delicious meals prepared by Rebecca. After dinner, playing soccer with the boys or watching a movie was always fun. Life with this family was never boring there was always something happening, whether it was a soccer game or an afternoon at the beach. Thank you for everything you did for me and for making my trip perfect.

IIlytie is a super friendly and proactive girl! She spent two weeks with us, helping with organization, small wooden structure networkings, and also with art. She's a respectful, organized person who loves to cook. She also loves interacting with people, talking, and understanding the reality of the places she visits. That's a big plus. :) Até logo, Ilytie!! Um grande abraço! :D

Thank you Tor & Ingrid for everything! :) I am very grateful for my experiences here and would strongly recommend this place! I felt welcome and appreciated from the first day. Thanks again Ingrid for cooking vegan for me when I arrived - this made me feel acceped and gave me a good feeling on my first evening. I stayed here for 4 weeks and it felt like home to me. This is truly a special place, where the volunteer group becomes a family. Living and working together with ~7 other volunteers while getting to know each other is special. We spend lots of time together (cooking, playing cards, kayaking, watching movies, hiking, weekend trips to explore Norway, trips to Oslo...), but it was also always possible to have me-time. I really enjoyed to live in the cabin and the property itself - just walking around there, enjoying the quiet nature and looking at the fjord made me happy! The work was not too hard and working with other volunteers was fun - especially smashing down the toilet house haha! It felt good to do physical work and try and learn new things, like rebuilding the floor in the toilet house. Ingrid and Tor trusted us with work projects, even though we weren't experienced, and I think this can really help people to become more self-confident. They were very flexible and supportive of our weekend trips and helped to make them possible by giving us 3 days off. Thanks for this amazing time! I hope to see you again! :) By the way: we are probably all gonna miss the coffee breaks! :)

Staying with Brian and Barbara was my first workaway experience and I feel very fortunate to have spent 2 weeks with them. I really enjoyed their company and feel grateful for their hospitality throughout. Barbara's home cooking is to be commended and Brian surprised me one evening with his excellent spaghetti bolognese. Best of all was getting to know more about them and sharing their humour in our conversations. My tasks in the weekdays included pressure washing, painting (and re-painting), mending gates and improvising a cover for the pool, sewing together plastic sheets with rope. I was also fortunate to meet and work with a couple down-to-earth workaway volunteers during my stay. I found the dogs very friendly and although they could be mischievous, they were a good laugh. I enjoyed multiple trips out in the car with Brian as well as hiking and riding a mountain bike in the surrounding hills, which had been kindly left by a previous workaway guest. I wish Barbara, Brian and the pups well for the new year :)

Mario is a chill guy and an awesome musician. We stayed just over a month and a half at his project on Etna during winter as last-minute guests, and we’re very grateful to him for taking us in after a difficult volunteer experience beforehand. The work involved digging out floors in his rural stone house in preparation for concrete, levelling land, helping in the vegetable garden, and daily chores like cutting wood and dishes. The work is physically demanding, and the days and hours can vary. We stayed in the camper, which was livable for us but definitely not for the faint-hearted, as mentioned in Mario’s profile. Mario kindly let us use a gas heater during the cold winter nights, which helped a lot. The shared space also doubles as Mario’s bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, which could feel overwhelming at times, but we found a way to make it work. Highlights for us were the food and cultural exchange,meals cooked by Mario’s mother (some of the best we had in Italy), spending Christmas with his family, meeting his friends, jam nights, visiting Mount Etna, and even writing three satirical songs together. At times it was challenging to stay motivated, as Mario also needed encouragement during our stay, and much of the physical work was done mainly by us, with limited hands on work by him. Overall, it was a meaningful and memorable experience. Thanks to Mario and Alessia for the time, knowledge, and experiences shared, you guys are legends! Hope to see you in Bosnia 😛

It was a great pleasure to host Xavier the last 4 weeks. Besides that he is a really nice and calm person to have around, he is an excellent driver and gardener. He is perfectly bilingual French-English. You don’t have to explain in detail what needs to be done, because of his pro activity and knowledge. With our other volunteer, they made a good division of daily chores. I would recommend Xavier 100% as your next volunteer!

I just spent a month at Paloma's ranch and I feel rejuvenated. Paloma is such a nice and caring host, so passionate about what she does, it felt incredible to be part of her beautiful project ! Life at the ranch is quiet, peaceful, aligned with the sun's hours. The work itself is very varied, and during one shift you may have 3 different activities, which makes the time pass very fast. It ranges from harvesting gorgeous flowers to move poop composts so you have to be ready for real farm life :) Most humbling experience. Would love to have the opportunity to come back, and to see you again Paloma ! In the meantime I'll think of this beautiful place every time I'll have a cup of delicious capomo 💚 muchas gracias para todo

Clayton and Martina stayed here for two months, and it was wonderful to have them around. They are both very hardworking and proactive, always happy to lend a hand. They are easy-going and, at this time, we not only shared work, but also had very nice conversations and lots of funny moments. They also helped us with house-sitting and they were great at taking care of our beloved Gopala (cat). We would highly recommend them as volunteers. Muchísimas gracias por todo chicos y mucha suerte en todos los proyectos que vienen :)

Kristin trabajó con nosotros en el hostal como voluntaria y su desempeño fue excelente. Demostró en todo momento una actitud responsable, proactiva y muy colaboradora. Se adaptó fácilmente al equipo y a las tareas asignadas, siempre mostrando disposición para ayudar y aprender. Destacamos su trato amable con los huéspedes, su compromiso con el buen funcionamiento del hostal y su energía positiva en el ambiente de trabajo. Sin duda, fue un gran apoyo para nuestro equipo y la recomendamos ampliamente para futuros proyectos o voluntariados. Le agradecemos mucho su tiempo, dedicación y buena actitud durante su estancia con nosotros.

What can I say...hosting Sebastian was truly a gift and one of the highlights of my 2025. He brought so much warmth, kindness, and positive energy into my little cabin. From the moment he arrived, it felt less like hosting a guest and more like welcoming a friend. Sebastian, thank you for choosing my cabin and for all the care you put into it; fixing the floor, the shelves, the stairs, and so many other small things. But more than that, thank you for the conversations, the shared moments, and for reminding me how beautiful genuine human connection can be. He is thoughtful, open-minded, easy to communicate with, and a joy to work and spend time with. Above all, Sebastian is a genuinely kind and emotionally intelligent person, and that truly makes a difference. I highly recommend Sebastian to anyone who wants to learn more about carpentry, share space respectfully, or simply spend time with a wonderful human being. You are always welcome back at my cabin, Sebastian. 🌿💛

It was a lovely stay at Zoë's house. We didn't see Zoë in person because she was already gone by the time we arrived. But we received all the necessary information before and during our stay. It's a shame we didn't see her, because she seems such a sweet woman. There was a welcome card on the table, and the freezer was full of food she had prepared. We did eat at a restaurant almost every day, because it's really cheap and delicious there in the town within walking distance. The two cats, Amber and Boy, are very sweet cats. Boy, especially, is very sociable. I'm glad that, in addition to caring for the cats, I was also able to do chores around the house and in the garden. I'd like to thank Zoë again and recommend this place to volunteers who don't want the luxury. A rental car is recommended if you want to visit something, as it's quite a drive up the mountain.

Paola was a reliable and fun volunteer during their stay . She followed instructions well, showed initiative, and completed their responsibilities with consistency and attention. She was respectful, easy to communicate with (including fluent spanish...), and contributed positively to the overall experience at the house. Thanks Paola for your contribution and I strongly recommend her to other Workaway hosts.

It was a pleasure hosting Justin. He was were enthusiastic, open-minded, and always ready to contribute. Whether working independently or as part of a team, he approached tasks with dedication and care. Justin respected our space and routines and helped create a positive and collaborative atmosphere. His presence was appreciated by both the team and fellow volunteers. Thanks as well for some nice pictures taken and shared! We’re very grateful for their support and would gladly host them again. Highly recommended!

Lou & Ismael were a great addition. They were responsible, motivated, and consistently brought a positive attitude to their work. They completed tasks with care and showed real interest in our conservation efforts and daily routines. They integrated well into the house, respected guidelines, and worked smoothly with both the team and other volunteers. We truly appreciated their reliability and willingness to help wherever needed. We can confidently recommend Lou & Ismael to future hosts especially in the area of conservation and agriculture and would be happy to welcome them back.

We spent almost 2 weeks with Mengdi . She was learning fast and we had really nice discussions of different things.

I thank Daniela and Fernando from the bottom of my heart! It was a joy and a blessing for me to become a part of their project. Everything is in perfect work/life balance. I spent almost 3 weeks on the project, getting to know the children and parents, and becoming part of an incredible community that became such only thanks to the true dedication from Daniela and Fernando. Not only did I gain invaluable experience on the project, but I also got the opportunity to explore the island. And to spend time with wonderful people. When I came to the project , I became part of a big family, and this is the most valuable thing when we find people who are close in spirit. I thank Daniela and Fernando! On the project, I had my own room not far from my place of work, a motorbike, delicious snacks and the opportunity to visit all the surroundings and attractions with the community! I hope to see you again!
