Whilst Sean came without many skills or expertise to offer us, we are grateful we chose to have him join us for a couple of weeks. He is a very respectful, kind and gentle young man. His timekeeping was spot on, he helped maintain areas clean and tidy, and got to help us with many tasks he has never taken his hand to before. He learns quickly and tries his best to support whatever needs doing. His communication in Portuguese and English is impeccable. We recommend him to any host looking for an extra pair of hands and having a kind respectful young man around.

Es la segunda persona que recibo y realmente ha sido un placer. Fue un gusto recibir a Maria, se encargó de mis cabañas con total responsabilidad y confíe plenamente en su criterio. Se adapta rápido y mantiene una excelente actitud. Fue una presencia agradable en mi casa, nos hicimos amigas, divertida, jugábamos cartas, es cálida y confiable. Recomendable 100% Gracias Maria!!

Jake came as a volunteer without many skills or expertise in tasks we needed help with, but made up for his lack of experience with eagerness to learn and help wherever he could. He is highly disciplined, respectful, kind and a beautiful soul. We are grateful Jake had taken some time to join us and support us in day-to-day retreat and farm life. He is like a brother and remains a good friend for life. We even got to invite and meet his family whilst he volunteered with us.

Nous avons eu la très grande chance d’accueillir Cameron dont nous avons apprécié la gentillesse et la serviabilité. Il nous a vraiment aidés pour des tâches pas faciles, toujours avec le sourire,comme couper des ronces ou faire du bois. Nous avons bien aimé discuter avec lui et l’écouter nous parler de la Nouvelle - Zélande. Et beaucoup échanger sur la montagne et le ski. Cameron est un super workawayer,ne passez pas à côté ! Bon ski Cameron!!...

I stayed at the castle in htouba for about 5 weeks and loved my time there. Aicha and Amin are great hosts , generous, friendly, open minded and always happy to share a good story of which I enjoyed many. I'd encourage anyone looking for a workaway in an amazing setting to go and lend your hands and skills at htouba you won't regret it. I'm looking forward to returning:)

Than you Emma for having me! This was my firts Workaway experience and first time traveling alone abroad and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I had so much fun working with Emma in the chateau and helping her. Also the kids, Arthur and Scarlet were amazing and fun! The tasks that I did were really simple and easy, like painting the gate or watering the dailies. Also it was really easy to ask for help from Emma! And days of she made sure that I got where I was planning to go and gave me tips where to go. It was so much fun and I'll be defiently going back!

This was my first Workaway experience and my first time in Iceland, and joining this family was far better than expected. Communication with Heiddis was open and honest, and I felt welcomed from day one. It’s a big family with a lot to do, especially in summer, but you are never working alone — you mainly help with cleaning vans, laundry, house tasks or shopping. Workload varies by day, and you always have support. You have your own room for quiet time, and you’re welcome to join family activities like swimming or trips, where I saw places I would never have found myself. I truly had an amazing time, learned a lot about Icelandic life, and can highly recommend this family to anyone ready for a small challenge.

They made me feel like part of the family from day one, showing me lots of nice places and doing everything they could to ensure I had unforgettable experiences. I enjoyed the conversations with them and with the other members of their family that I was lucky to meet. The children are so lovely, and it was a pleasure to play with them. It was heartwarming to see how patiently and lovingly they are raising them. And last but not least, the food was delicious! It was so hard to leave this lovely family!

Thanks so much for your help. wish you the best. Max

I had a lovely time looking after the shelter dogs who were staying at Lara's house. Lara and I never met but she was always kind and straightforward over the phone. It's a wonderful house in a very pretty town. I would recommend to all.

I did my volunteer work at Leslie’s home, Pat’s daughter, who is a kind and warm person. This was one of the best volunteer experiences I’ve had because I truly felt at home, in a pleasant space with plenty of time to enjoy my hobbies and explore the city. I really appreciate the trust and patience they showed me, especially considering my limited English level.

Josef byl můj první workaway host a za sebe jsem byla nadšená z naší výměny. Velmi mi pomohl s těžšími pracemi kolem domu a přípravou na zimu. S jeho prací jsem byla spokojená a jeho osoba přirozeně zapadla do běžného chodu domu. Děkuji Josefe.

Bastian is great person! I can recomand him to anyone as one of the best workawayers I hosted. First of all he love animals and animals love him. He is hard worker. Cleaning is something he is doing perfect and this is here very important work in the house and around the house with all this animals indoor and outside . With Bastian you place will become nice and realy clean. He is great driver too. He is very responsible person and you can count on him that he will do everything you ask, even more. Behind of all of that he is very pleaset company in free time. We spend some great time in conversation, watching movies and visiting some nice pleaces in our country side.

Abbiamo ospitato Ben e Isobel per due settimane condividendo i lavori di casa o del giardino e tutti i pasti! abbiamo apprezzato la loro gentilezza e tranquillità, la loro disponibilità per qualsiasi lavoro e le chiacchiere a tavola grazie all'italiano molto ricco di Isobel. Siamo contenti di aver incontrato questa giovane coppia che ha dimostrato responsabilità e desiderio di lavorare bene oltre al fatto di voler conoscere il posto e il modo di vivere diverso.

Lyric is funny, kind, and uplifting. She did not hesitate to chip in and help any time she could, and I sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future. She engaged with all our family, and we miss her since she left. I was especially thankful for her willingness to share and discuss each other's cultures, including cooking together. I learned a lot about Chinese culture from our interactions, and we had a lot of fun during her couple weeks staying with us.

I had a beautiful and magical time on Margo and Pierces little homestead. In the beautiful rolling hills of rural Ireland, I spent my days doing gardening, carpentry, and landscaping projects for their lovely little plot. Margo, Pierce, and their family were very intentional about welcoming me into their many and various activities. Cacao ceremonies, meditation, drum circles, every week we would have a dip in the lake/sauna excursion. The family stays busy! So grateful for my chance to stay here and experience the magic of this little corner of Ireland. Thanks guys!

Jesse has been an exceptional volunteer at the Summer Camp. His genuine love for working with children, calm patience, and constant enthusiasm made every activity more meaningful for our campers. He quickly earned the trust of both campers and staff thanks to his empathy, responsibility, and strong leadership. Jesse consistently went above and beyond—preparing materials, leading games, and bringing positive energy to every moment. He is a dedicated, reliable, and inspiring young person, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role involving children or education.

Allison (Alli) stayed with us for almost two months, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better yoga volunteer. From day one she brought such a calm, positive and uplifting energy to the lodge. Her yoga classes were professional, thoughtful, and truly appreciated by our guests — but what really made her special was everything she contributed beyond the mat. Alli is incredibly kind, easygoing, friendly, and genuinely interested in people. She connected effortlessly with guests from all over the world and was always happy to help the staff and reception whenever something was needed. She became part of the team so naturally. Her enthusiasm for learning Spanish was amazing — she picked it up so fast and loved practicing with the locals. At the same time, she was also teaching them little bits of English, which created really sweet exchanges. Of course, she also has a big adventurous side. She explored every corner of Isinliví, joined tours with guests, and quickly became the person who knew all the hidden spots around the village. And we can’t forget Rocky, her adorable little dog. He slept most of the time, but every time he showed up he made everyone smile. They were the perfect duo. Alli is simply fantastic — a wonderful human being, a great volunteer, and someone our whole team will always remember with lots of cariño. Any host would be lucky to have her. We would welcome her back anytime.

Andrea helped me in farm, and she cook amazing! I would be happy to host her again.
