It was a truly beautiful experience to share time and work with them on our farm. From the very first moment, they put their hearts into everything they did, worked with great dedication and respect, and adapted wonderfully to life together. Beyond the help they gave us, we gained a lovely friendship that we truly hope to continue. Our farm doors will always be open to them. We wish them all the very best and great success in their beautiful projects with their own farm 💚 Thank you for all. No words.

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! David, Berny and Proxy really helped make a fun and friendly atmosphere at the hostel. They are very welcoming of ideas for the hostel and it's definitely the sort of place where the more you put in, the more you get out 😄 The hostel truly felt like a home away from home during my stay and if highly recommend it.

I stayed on site for a.over a week roughly. During that week many things happened. New chicken house and goat/sheep house, water installation, new animals came. Akoth and Stacey are welcoming people and the stay was just nice. Met many people from around, visited Akoth's family. I truly like the vision of the place, becoming food independent and facing climate changes (mainly droughts) and encouraging local community to look on the farming in new, different perspective!!! I wish you only the best!!! Sending warm hugs!!!

Thank you, Manyatha, for your help in so many ways. Even though she wasn't particularly keen on teaching languages, she still helped out in class occasionally when needed. But what was most impressive was her responsibility for taking care of the kitchen. During that time, the kitchen was incredibly clean and organized, which we were truly impressed with. Perhaps it was because she enjoys cooking; we tasted her food, and she made so many delicious Indian dishes. Unfortunately, two weeks seemed too short, preventing us from exchanging much about our cooking skills. Anyway we would like to thank you for the pictures and videos you took and gave them to us. They are helpful. We hope your journey ahead is as wonderful as the flavors you shared with us. Wishing you happiness and health always.

Fiore and Paul helped out at our farm for about 10 days. They are a great team together and able to carry out the tasks to maintain the farm. It was a pleasure having them as part of the family. They are very appreciative of all the meals we shared with them and we loved the Egyptian coffee they made for us. We would welcome Fiore and Paul anytime they are in Malaysia.

It was my first experience of volonteering and it was a strong experience for me that i will never forget. I felt very good at this school, which is so cute and the students so welcoming and affectionate. They are smiling and dynamic and there is a lot to share with them. The team was very nice to me. I discovered thai box with Blue which was amazing , thai dance and thai cooking also. The food at the canteen was very good and the little village so welcoming and peacefull. I could ride a bicycle safely and go around to discover the beatiful rice fields . I want to make a special thanks to teacher Byte and volonteer Luca from Italy who where simply awesome with me , and we had a lot of fun. Thank you so much for everything, i strongly recommand this place for your next volonteering ❤️

We spent three wonderful weeks on their family farm and we can truly say that living in the cottage made us feel like we were in a luxurious hotel! Furthermore, the farm is so lovely (except the S.P.A... ;) and Mary & Nigel’s mission to regrow forests and give happy lives to all the animals really impressed us; it perfectly matched our vision of working with nature! Moreover, having dinner with them every Thursday really improved communication and allowed all of us to share some great moments :) Thanks again ! We highly recommend visiting their place !!!

I stayed with Andrea, Gregor and the kids two seperate times and each time I was welcomed and valued in the space. The work was fair and I always felt accomplished after the days work. Andrea was sure to check that I was keeping track of my worked hours to be sure I did not overwork the agreed upon time. The kids are great and have a lot of energy and knowlege to share! I think I learned something new every day! I had a great time with the family and enjoyed the beauty of the property.

I volunteered with them for 3 weeks over the Holidays and had an amazing experience! Very good communication with the foundation. So fun working with the kids at school and playing with them. Phayao is a beautiful place! The school gave us a moped to use the entire time we were there which was so nice for getting around and driving into Phayao. Would highly recommend!

"Sophia, you're a legend! 😊 Loved having you stay with us and work with you on all our projects. Your energy and passion were infectious and we do truly miss your cooking! Would welcome you back with a grateful heart - we still have that bottle of wine to share! Cheers to more adventures 🍻"

We stayed with Bill and Camilla for 3 weeks in October 25 but could have happily stayed for 3 months. We had a wonderful time helping out at Bawley (a total gem of a place nestled in the forest). The work was fair, straight-forward, and the expectations clearly laid out: it felt as seamless as a well-planned induction to a job, which we really appreciated. We were always treated as adults and given autonomy in how we completed tasks, and each got the chance to do a variety of bits and bobs around the farm. Bill and Camilla are great company, and we loved dinner times with a good discussion over a glass of wine. They’re both very interesting and impressive people, and we felt welcomed into their home and lives from the moment we arrived. Their extremely generous offer to borrow their car was also a huge bonus for us and meant we were able to get out to explore the local area and even see some oceanic rays in a nearby bay! We would recommend this stay to anyone. A huge thanks for having us.

Aaron & Samantha (the sweetest cat) were fantastic hosts!!!! I stayed a month & created a sculpture. He was incredibly supportive & kind - making sure I had what I needed to feel comfortable & make my project. We did some great hiking - even a night hike which was quite an experience! Aaron is an open hearted person & great fun. If you want to step into the weird & wonderful world of the Sonoran desert, make art & find lots of cacti then this is the place for you. Thank you Aaron for all your support!

Priscilla was an amazing volunteer! She always had a positive attitude and was willing to help out however we needed. She was amazing in the kitchen and painted some beautiful signs to hang around the property. I would highly recommend her to any host!

We had a wonderful stay with Ava and Blake and their son Teo. The place was incredibly relaxing, and they were exceptionally welcoming and easygoing hosts. We really appreciated the balance between connection and privacy. Sharing meals together at times was lovely, while having the freedom to do our own thing felt just as comfortable. The accommodation is a private unit above their house, which gives you a great sense of seclusion and independence. The view is beautiful, and the peaceful setting makes it easy to fully unwind. The location is in Katoomba, about a 25-minute walk to the town centre, which was perfect for us. Throughout our stay, Ava and Blake were very helpful and made us feel genuinely at home. We would highly recommend staying here or at least reaching out to them — it’s a special place in a beautiful environment.

Muito obrigada por tanto! Fue una experiencia muy cerca de la naturaleza. Dalila es una persona de buena energía y la comunicación con ella estuvo muy fácil. Ayudé en diferentes partes de la casa y del jardín. También conocí a su familia y sus amigos y almuerzamos juntas. Ella tiene un corazón grande que se puede sentir del primer momento, por eso me sentí muy cómoda y bienvenida. También tienes muchas ideas para el futuro. Espero que puedo regresar un dia!

Arianna and Davide! Sad to see you leave us, but you should know how much we appreciate the time you’ve spent with us at the school. We loved your positive and joyful attitudes, as it was infectious and made everyone feel at ease around you. Your passion and eagerness to improve both the students’ and the teachers’ English level was incredible. All the teachers and students at our school spent an amazing time with you and we hope you felt the same. We wish you the best of luck for your future plans and travels, and we hope that someday we will meet again.

Stephanie! We are so happy to have met you and spent these amazing 2 weeks with you. We’re sad to see you leave and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution not only to the students, but to the teachers as well. Your kindness and friendliness will truly be missed. We appreciate all the knowledge and teaching techniques you’ve shared with the teachers as they are very valuable to us. We hope you’ve enjoyed our school and little village, and we wish you nothing but the best for your future. Stay in touch with us and safe travels!

Drew! It was such a joy having your vibrant energy in our classrooms, and we cannot thank you enough for the time you shared with us. Your creative lessons turned learning English into the highlight of the day for our students. You have a remarkable gift for making every student feel happy and encouraged to learn. We are so grateful for the kindness and fun you brought to our school community during your time here. While we are sad to see you go, we wish you the very best on your next adventure!

I am happy to join the chorus of glowing reviews for this project! My two weeks in Chicxulub Pueblo working with Don Héctor were an incredible, unforgettable time. This is a unique opportunity to experience life in a Mexican pueblo that's not on any tourist's itinerary, to connect with local people and learn about a way of life that is unfortunately fading away. Don Héctor is the perfect host and guide — easy-going, generous, very knowledgeable and passionate about the project. Don't hesitate — just go!

A wonderful experience! We spent two weeks at Brittany’s place and from the first day we felt at home. Both Brittany and Alexis are amazing people: they helped us a lot during our first period in Tasmania. We shared great moments together and had many nice conversations. Our help consisted of reshaping their garden and preparing it to become a new garden. We are happy to have contributed to this and to have made a new space more beautiful and accessible. Thank you again for your hospitality and for the lovely time spent together. Ciao Ciao 👋🏼
