Spend 2 weeks at Sandra's shelter, was a beautiful experience, whether at work or with others volunteers. Organisation is not easy everyday, there is a lot of things to know, if you have the willing to understand how is work, give helps to the others and taking care of animals, the experience will be rewarding. Thank you Sandra about the committment you have.

Staying with Hilarie and Ray was absolutely amazing. They are super nice folks and always try their best to make you feel at home. The workload was totally manageable with lots of free time to explore beautiful Vancouver. I’d recommend this experience to everyone, as I don’t think it can get any better than this. 10/10. Hopefully I’ll be able to come again someday :)

I had the most amazing 1,5 week with Angelika and Dennis. (And of course Griff, Daisy, Halo, Zara and Abby) They gave me a very warm welcome and I immediately felt relaxed and at ease. The tasks I had to do were very manageable and most of the time even fun to do because there was quite an array of different things to be done, so I was allowed to choose which ones fit me best. The evenings were spent eating wonderful and fresh food from the garden and afterwards some very fun kiwi movie nights or even playing card games which they taught me with a lot of patience. I was honestly sad to leave and am so grateful for the time I could spend with them during my time in New Zealand.

We are so glad that Eva joined us to help out in the garden. We found her very friendly and respectful. We were also impressed with the quality of her work, she worked well independently and can be trusted with tasks. We wish you all the best,

Thank you so much for those 2 amazing weeks !! And special thanks to Burhan who has always been there for me, making sure I'm confortable and I have everything (despite sometimes language barrier haha but at least I learned some Turkish words !) show me beautiful places and horse riding on our free time ! I enjoyed working with the horses, helping with tourist tours, and cooking meals together. It was a great workaway and I would definitely love to come say hello again if I go back to Cappadocia :)

My experience at Masseria Lanzolla has been a dream from the very first moment! It's been a life-changing experience in many ways, but the best part has been the wonderful people I've met there, as I'm returning with a new family in Basilicata. Meeting Enrica is one of the best things that can happen to you in life, and her cooking is a true gift. But working with Marcello, spending time with Anna, or even just bumping into anyone who works there is a pleasure. On top of that, the surroundings are wonderful, and I wouldn't trade walks in the countryside for anything. Finally, I must say that the accommodations are incredibly comfortable, the food is amazing, and the wine is excellent! I highly recommend spending some time here because it will be an unforgettable experience! Thank you so much for everything, Enrica!

I stayed with Ayhan for almost two months in his beautiful place, which I had the chance to call home during that time. And it truly felt like home. We did so many things together and slowly built a strong bond. I was with another volunteer, and we were both treated like family, especially when his parents were around. It felt like a warm, cosy household where I didn’t just receive delicious food and a home, but also so much love and care. Staying in Kayaköy was incredibly inspiring, and Ayhan has a wonderful community there. The work varied from day to day: most of the days were light, and other days were more tiring depending on the tasks and the rhythm of the house. Communication was not always perfect, but we managed to understand each other with time, and everything flowed better once expectations became clearer. We cooked delicious meals, made art, created music, explored… Ayhan is a unique and generous person, and I believe many people will enjoy the experience of staying with him.

Absolutely a delight to have these two young ladies taking care of my animals while I was gone for 3 weeks! They took great care of animals and the house. Recomend them for future hosts :) thank you!

​Franziska stayed with me and my family for a week, and we appreciated her presence immensely. She and I had actually met in-person by chance at a concert I played and she attended, then realized we'd also connected on Workaway. The day she arrived, my dad had a minor accident and had to go to the hospital for several days, and Franziska immediately offered to help more with my mom and around the house. As a result, I was able to go visit my dad without worry, knowing that everything was well taken care of at home. She was consistently supportive, kind, responsible, and caring - a really wonderful and helpful houseguest - and the cats loved her too. We all got along very well, and communication was easy. Even in this short time, there were many nice heart-to-heart conversations between all of us. Our only complaint is that the time flew by so fast! We wish her all the very best in her continued journey, and hopefully our paths will cross again!

Hi everyone, We stayed for about a week and it was amazing. They gave us a place to stay, meals, and a great time. In exchange, we worked in their garden (stacking wood, mulching paths, etc.). Their house is in a great location, surrounded by nature and just a 10-minute walk from the train station to Melbourne, for example. Thank you for the comfort you provided us and all the delicious meals you prepared for us. Your welcome was very warm. Good luck and all the best for the future.

Doro has been a pleasure to have around. She’s organised and always takes the time to clarify things. I could trust her to manage everything on her own, and she followed instructions with care and attention. Above all, she’s lovely, kind and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable leaving my home in her hands. You are welcome back anytime Doro. Thoroughly recommended!

Working at Nammon's school was one of my favorite experiences of my life. The school itself is beautiful, and the Waldorf method of teaching she has brought here is inspiring. The daily routine of the children is so mindful and pleasant. You will find yourself comfortable right away. Nammon and the rest of the teachers are so welcoming, kind, and understanding. I was a little nervous to teach English to children who mostly only speak Thai, but I was really reassured by the other teachers' presence. The food at school and at home is AMAZING. Nammon goes out of her way to make sure you are happy and taken care of. She took me to the local market, dinner with her friends, lunch, shopping. When I was sick for a few days, her mom brought me soup and fruit. To this day she still checks in on me to see how my travels are going. I feel so lucky to have found this school and had this experience. It's really changed the way I view early childhood education. Please do this workaway if you feel interested! You will not regret it!

I have had one of the most meaningful volunteering experiences at the school Peace. In a first place I was supposed to stay just two weeks, but I was enjoying the job so much that I asked to stay longer, until my visa expiration. I left just because I had to, but I felt so sad to leave. Students, teachers and Mr. Sarann himself welcomed me warmly, and made me feel part of the community. The school has a big impact on the local community and it's something beyond any expectation. I will definitely find a way to go back there as soon as I can.

We spent a month with Ross, Ruby, and Harriet (and of course with their two dogs, Josy and Vivien), and the time passed so quickly. We were welcomed with so much warmth and joy. We can highly recommend visiting the family. It Was our very first workaway experience and also one of our first stop in Australia. Ross taught us many practical, hands-on skills. They always paid attention to our needs and always wanted to make sure we were doing well and felt comfortable. They let us take one of their cars on trips around Victoria and gave us recommendations for nice places to visit. The property and the surrounding area is beautiful you can encounter a lot of wildlife on afternoon walks. We will miss them all very much and will forever remember our time in Sandon. :)

I stayed for 2 weeks in July and it has been the easiest workaway experience ever for me. Relaxing schedule and it would suit travellers well who want to have a lot of free time and travel around Istanbul. Mustafa was friendly and helpful. Thanks for hosting me Mustafa!

It was more than just a random workaway experience… I can't express how much we loved our stay here, there are tons of artistic activities for art and culture lovers, and we were so deep loving each single activity that we forget counting the days and how we stayed in Nepal, Absolutely if you are an open minded, curious person with a mind full of idea and hands on any sort of arts, probably you gonna call this place home, like how we did… The team were beyond kind and helpful, we co-lived, co-created and spent a decent amount of time with this unique community and already we are counting down to come back again… If you got some magic in your mind or in your hands, don't miss this authentic artistic experience and have tons of fun. Not to forget the fact, during your artist residency, you will be in a central area of Kathmandu neat Patan Durbar Square, you will have great access to city life and most importantly you gonna meet brilliant souls in the community… 🙏🪷💙💥

It was such a pleasure to have Salome stay and help in the garden. Salome is a beautiful person who fits into any group or situation with ease. She is very neat and tidy and she kept all areas very clean and tidy. We were sad to see Salome leave and would always welcome her back as well as recommend her to anyone for any job she felt she could tackle.

We (couple of 28 yo) stayed at Pure's farm for two weeks in November 2025. We had an amazing experience there, meeting new people, learning about farming and building in bamboo. The food is fabulous. Overall, we appreciated the peaceful way of life at the farm and will remember Pure's words : "the most important is that you enjoy what you are doing". And it's not only words, every activity at the farm needs to be done in consciousness ! During our free time (every afternoon), we had the opportunity to go and see nearby waterfalls, to Phayao market, woodcrafts, painting workshops and many more !! We will definitely go back in the future ✌️

I had an amazing time staying with the lovely Midori-san in the countryside of Sasayama. There I was able to join local Matsuris and lots of other local events. During my time there, there were also a few other workawayers, which made the house very lively and it was great to connect. The work around the house and garden was not too hard and I learned a lot about gardening from Midori-san. She also taught me in tea ceremony, which was such a unique experience. I was there during a perfect season, where I could enjoy local specialties like black bean edamame, chestnuts and kaki. So thank you so much for hosting me, it was an amazing experience.

Melinda was my first Workaway host and she made the experience so easy and welcoming. She is a lovely person, very supportive, and always up for a good chat. She is also an excellent cook and has a beautiful garden with fruit and veggies. Aslan the cat is gorgeous and such a sweet presence around the house. I felt comfortable and looked after the whole time. I’m really grateful for my stay with her :)
