Beautiful experience! 10/10 recommend to anyone passing through Arequipa. Evelin and her family are incredibly beautiful people. My partner and I were lucky enough to stay with them for one month and easily could of stayed longer if we didn't have to continue with our travels. The work was more than a fair exchange and the living facilities were top class and it was a pleasure to get to spend time with the family. The hostel is a great place with a lot of activities to do onsite and a variety planned tours. Evelin was always willing to help and offer local advise which we used to our advantage visiting so many attractions the area has to offer. Her love and openness really made us feel like family from the first day we arrived. A great place to have as a base for travellers. Thanks Evelin

Raphael spend almost 2 weeks at our place, during a very busy time. What we really appreciated was his willingness to work, he never turned down a task at any hour or any circumstance. His youthful energy was especially helpful for manual labour, including heavy lifting, but he also participated in gentle puppy activities. Raphael is a polite and quiet. He needs to gain more skills and experience, regarding both work and adult life, but with his willingness to learn, we don't doubt he'll be a useful addition to your household or project.

Bronia stayed with us for a week, and was an excellent volunteer. She did a great job weeding, potting, and planting. Bronia is a knowledgeable gardener and great company. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting her and absolutely recommend to others.

It was a beautiful time watching over this stunning natural oasis... Ralph & Marion have created a home made of solid beams of love, and the house is surrounded by lush nature in all directions. The cats are adorable, during my stay Blacky became a close and dear friend and I had sweet fun with Nepumuck and sleepy-Freddy as well :) I also truly appreciate all members of the family that I've met during the time at the farm, all are noble positive human beings.

On short notice we were invited to fill a time gap to help with Housesitting. Kerry and Martin welcomed us to come, sight unseen, and take over the responsibility of their amazing beautiful property in southern France. Our 5 weeks were wonderful, the studio apartment was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the area. We kept ourselves busy with basic gardening, yard work, bucking firewood, etc. Truly a fantastic experience and we hope to connect again with Kerry and Martin in future. Derek and Bobbi

J'ai contacté Abdou seulement deux semaines avant mon arrivée chez lui. Il n'avait pas beaucoup de disponibilité, mais il a pu m'accueillir pour 4 jours. Ce qui m'arrangeait parfaitement. Nous avons rapidement communiquer via WhatsApp. Le mois de décembre est peu achalandé et Abdou n'avait pas beaucoup de travail à me donner. Les deux premiers jours, il m'a dit de profiter de mes journées. J'ai ainsi pu facilement découvrir la ville d'Essaouira, très accueillante, très jolie et pleine de petits commerces en tout genre. Il faut aller sur le port pour y déguster du poisson frais grillé sur place. C'est tout simplement délicieux ! Le troisième jour, les deux chambres se sont libérées, j'ai pu enfin rendre service à Abdou en faisant le ménage de l'appartement. Mais cela ne m'a pas occupée plus de 3h. J'ai donc eu toute mon après-midi pour aller admirer l'océan, ses énormes vagues s'écrasant sur les rochers et son magnifique coucher de soleil sur l'île de Mogador. Chaque jour, Abdou communiquait avec moi pour prendre de mes nouvelles et de savoir si j'avais besoin de quelque chose. Le soir, il me rendait visite et m'apportait des petits gâteaux faits par sa soeur. Abdou est une personne généreuse et qui a coeur que nous profitions pleinement de notre séjour à Essaouira. Abdou, un énorme merci pour ton accueil chaleureux et formidable !

We had the pleasure to host Esther for 4 weeks and we are so grateful for her help. Esther is the most reliable, thoughtful and organized person you can meet. It was really easy to get along and because she is used to be around horses and dogs it was so easy to get in to a work rhythm. She was always approachable and up for any task, even the dreaded things like weeding, cleaning the pastures and preparing the veggie beds for winter. The reinforcement of the stable wall would not have been done by now if we would have undertaken that task alone! We enjoyed her stay very much and are not happy to see her go but we hope there might be another opportunity in the future for another stay and we are looking forward to the time we meet again.

Hannah was a wonderful volunteer! She always had a positive attitude and was willing to help out in a variety of different things. She left her mark here with so many beautifully painted signs around the property too :) I would highly recommend her to any host!

He is definitely a a person that you will need. He is very talented about diy and warm. I strongly recommend him!

I stayed here for 2 months and I had a great time with Barbi’s and Stew’s family. Barbi and Stew are really nice hosts and they are reliable, respectful and flexible with my travel plans. The work was very easy (laundry, tidying up the house and sometimes special tasks like deep cleaning) and I had plenty of time for snowboarding and exploring the area! I really enjoyed to talk and play with the kids and cuddle with their lovely dog, Diesel. If you guys have the opportunity to stay with this friendly family, do it and you gonna have an amazing time here :) Just note, there’s no nightlife or social activities (during winter) so you should be comfortable to entertain yourself during your stay. But you will have access to a gym room, hot tub and a sauna with a mountain view that makes it worth it :))) Thank you so much for this experience!

I stayed with him for a week, but it was a very special experience. I feel like we worked as a very good team. The job was not exhausting and clear. Overall, I can't complain.

I spent almost 3 weeks here. It was a very great experience. Not just the DIY work where I could bring my own ideas and suggestions what to improve but also the interaction with guests and the neighbors. This is real Turkey No fake tourist artisan dance etc. This is where people from Istanbul and surroundings make their holidays. Arda is a fabulous host and although not always physically present always reachable as well as happy to give you many insights about turkey, his business etc. If you truly want to understand the turkey of today (&improve your DIY skills, as well as cooking&cleaning 😜)come here

I had a wonderful experience staying with Max, Roxy, and Camila. They are such a welcoming family. Their apartment is very nice and they do their best to make you feel right at home there. Camila is very good in English already, so I had fun playing games, reading, and writing with her. I would highly recommend this workaway for anyone visiting Arequipa as you will have a lot of freedom and a more local experience.

Hello, this is a great place to get in touch with the culture of indigenous people. Both of the hosts are lovely, friendly and open- minded. I was included in their daily life and had some good conversations. I learned a lot about saving water, sustainability and planting trees. Big recomandation

We are very grateful for the time you spent with us and for the love and care you showed to the children they really enjoyed having you around. We’re happy to hear that you felt at home with us and that your time in Arusha, both at the daycare and during your weekend visits, was enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you and supporting you throughout your stay. Thank you for choosing to volunteer with us and for being part of our daycare family, even for a short time. You are always welcome back. Wishing you all the best in your future travels and adventures!

I had so much fun working at this hostel, It was September, so it was still pretty busy, I made so many friends, met so many people, and did so many things in the city. We played basketball games, went to bars and clubs, shared meals with locals, explored the city, and lots more. While working, you have either the morning afternoon or night shift, about 6 hours each, but you don't have to be glued to the reception desk the whole time, it can be pretty chill or busy, but either way it's very social and engaging. Claas the host is an interesting guy, he made sure we had food and everything was clean and in order. It was nice to talk to him about politics, history, food. He is a very down to earth kind of person. Overall, I had a great time.

Pauline was such a great Workawayer. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, so helpful with everything in the household, the teens and we all really loved her company. She was happy to work by herself with instructions, or with us on projects or whatever we had going on. She fitted in so fast and always was so easy to work with. She has many skills and talents (cooking, cleaning, housework, shopping, driving and computer skills) and learns very quickly and we all missed her when she left. We would highly recommend her as a workawayer, you will be lucky to have her if an exchange works out for you. A+++ for Pauline.

Florence fue una gran amiga y voluntaria, súper respetuosa del espacio de nuestra familia y muy cariñosa con nuestros hijos. Aún tenemos mermeladas exquisitas que ella hizo con frutillas. Siempre la recordamos y agradecemos su estadía en casa. Seguro tendrás una buena experiencia si tienes la suerte de tenerla en tu hogar. ¡Gracias, Florence, te extrañamos!
