It was a pleasure having Sarah as part of our volunteer team. She is a very friendly and respectful person, always willing to help with everything. She had a great relationship with both her colleagues and the guests. We hope everything goes well for her and that she can return to our hostel someday

Audrey was with me for nearly 2 weeks. She is great company and a very hard worker. The dogs adored her and even Mr Darcy (puss cat) allowed her to stroke him. I would highly recommend Audrey, especially her brownies!! Thanks for all your hard work.

C'était une aide inestimable pour la construction de la serre. Et de l'aide pour la réorganisation d'une autre serre pour laquelle j'avais manqué de temps. De belles échanges avec Cyrielle qui m'a bien aidé pour cuisiner. Votre venue fut une bénédiction.

Jannis y Fionna!!🥰 Agradecida por el tiempo compartido, gracias por ser parte de este hermoso sueño y proyecto que estamos construyendo; su ayuda fue vital para la construcción de nuestro baño ecológico vimos cómo lo construían con mucha dedicación y esmero.

The experience in the Hostel was so nice! the work was easy to do and i ha a wonderful time there enjoying Pichilemu. And i meet wonderf people. Thank you so much!

I had an amazing time at 'el trullo del re'. Francesco was a great host, providing me with information about perma- and italian culture. He was very welcoming. I loved the little van I could sleep in and ofcourse the two lovely dogs that walked around. I would definately recommend a workaway with Francesco!

We would like to thank Cameron for a wonderful and fruitful time from September 25 to November 17, 2025, which she spent with us. It was delightful to work with her and also to spend quality leisure time together, a real win-win situation. Cameron is very reliable, communicative and was interested to learn about our life and participate in it. She not only helped us harvesting the olives, but was involved in all the necessary preparatory and afterwork. She walked our 3 dogs regularly in the mornings and made friends with them really fast. All our cats also loved her. She took over the responsibility to care for and clean the pond. We loved her occasional cooking and were happy that she helped with many everyday chores as they came up and were necessary.

Thank you from the heart, Shawn! See you soon! Marcello e Noriko

I volunteered for 6 weeks, and had an amazing time. Students of all ages made this such a well-rounded experience - from kids as young as 7 to mature students learning English online. I met so many people that I'll be carrying with me on future trips. Teaching in Catriel was an amazing cultural exchange; we worked on small projects involving writing short stories and playing games, and even a Halloween camp, which took work but was incredibly rewarding and made for lots of memories around the camp fire after dark. The school schedule is very manageable, allowing for plenty of time to explore the town and surroundings area. Classes are Monday to Thursday, mostly in the afternoon and the students make it fun and engaging. Time flies really. Then, there are overnight buses from Catriel that go pretty much anywhere. Also, Lili and Iris, and Ben (Lili's son) were more than happy to show me around town, and help introduce me to all sorts of activities available -- my favourite was taking tango lessons for about a month, which added to the lovely experience. Made new friends, had plenty of asado, and long nights chatting with these amazing people. For most of my time in Catriel, I shared to experience with another volunteer, and it felt a bit like camp, when paths cross and you make friends. I'll miss you all!

This experience was truly the highlight of our trip in India. We are absolutely in love with everything - the place, the mountains/lush valley views, morning yoga til late night jamming guitar session,… and especially the people! Yudhish is a super kind and knowledgeable host. Together with his amazing team Genie, Sanju, Umish,… they truly filled up our time with unforgettable memories. Our day-to-day consisted of helping with creative work, cleaning and simply chill with guests in the evening around the fireplace - next to the guitar, next to Hachi and Bonzo (the cutest and sweetest doggos ever), accompanied by homemade cheesecakes, lots of singing and late night talks. Additionally, we shared jungle walks, temple visiting, birthday party dancing, stargazing nights, and endless life stories. We learnt a lot about yoga’s essence from Yudhish, life on the mountains from the locals and most of all, how to live in the rhythm of nature with care, respect and deep gratitude. When we arrived first it felt like family, but when we left even more than that - a place where our hearts now are anchored at. Thank you Yudhish and everyone, we’ve found our favourite place to be in India, and we cannot wait to be back again (soon)! 🩷

I had a good experience volunteering for Jake and Jo. The work was fair, interesting, and clearly communicated. They are flexible enough that I could somewhat tailor my experience but also laid out clear expectations (4hrs of work/day). I came during the olive season so l had 2 long days (8hrs) and took two days off. The olive harvest was hard work but rewarding and a unique experience. If you enjoy climbing trees and/or a good shoulder workout this may be a good job for you. The olive season is at the end of Oct-Nov. The area is cool, there are lots of bohemian people that have interesting stories, and live their own lives aside from the bustle of contemporary culture. I got to experience some events in the community and I was grateful for the cultural experience. Overall, I had a good experience, and I appreciated Jake and Jo's hospitality, flexibility and kindness.

mamma patty è una garanzia ❤️

I stayed with Ania and her family for a month, and it was a wonderful experience! I felt as a part of the family - they are very welcoming and chill, and I was helping with cooking, cleaning, and taking the kids to school. I was also working remotely myself, but Ania was very cooperative, and it was possible to combine with the workaway help. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family! :))

Chiara stayed with us in June together with her 10-year-old niece, who bravely helped with the tasks. From the very first message Chiara was warm and open. She helped me paint a large mural on the wall of the old stable — she is an incredibly talented artist and I am thrilled with her work; we understood each other almost without words. Chiara brought a pleasant, cheerful atmosphere to our home and was always ready to help with the animals, in the garden and around the farm. She quickly fitted in like a member of the family. In one word: a perfect volunteer. I highly recommend her and hope we’ll have the chance to paint together again. Thank you, Chiara!

It was great to host Jule on the farm. She fit right in with everyone, friendly, happy to help out with whatever needed doing on the farm, with animals, in the garden and down the paddock. She was great to chat to and we wish you all the best on the next part of your travel adventures 🙏

Rebecca has been a pleasure to host over the past ~ 7 weeks. It has been great having her on the farm and we appreciate all your help. She is a friendly caring intelligent lady, with great attention to detail, hardworking, keen to learn new things around the farm, talented pianist, and also great with the animals. I believe my dog wanted to go back to Germany with you ☺️ Have a wonderful road trip ahead and safe travels back home ✈️

We enjoyed hosting Jake at our place over the past 9 or so weeks although he was only initially planning to stay a month. He was great to chat with and was great with checking things/keeping us up to speed on where things were as initially he came to help whilst we were away overseas. He helped mostly in the gardens until after we were able to teach him more about the horses and other parts of the farm etc when we came back. We hope you enjoyed learning on the farm. Jake was fun, friendly, easy going and got along well with the other helpers and our family, and he is a talented musician too. We appreciate you sharing your taco experiences and also enjoyed playing taco cat goat cheese pizza 😆 Best of luck on your road trip and for future travels through Oz.

We really enjoyed our time working with Sumi and the kids! Sumi is incredibly kind, caring, and inspiring. We spent most of our time playing with and supervising the kids while exposing them to some English. It was also a great opportunity for us to practice Japanese. We were encouraged to get creative and facilitate activities, which we had a lot of fun doing. When we weren't spending time with the kids, we did a bit of gardening and painting around the school. Sumi created the non-profit out of care and passion for providing an alternative for kids who struggle with the public education system. It was truly a pleasure being part of it. The working hours were very reasonable and we had a lot of time to explore the area. Sumi went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed and were comfortable both in our accommodation and at work. We would definitely recommend working with Sumi if you enjoy spending time with kids and have the energy to keep up with them!

I can’t express how much I enjoyed my workaway at 조 and 정선’s farm! They are such warm and welcoming hosts, taking a lot of care of us and making sure we were comfortable and had a good time. There was always a lot of banter going on, which made even the hardest work on the fields feel easy. The work was always fair, they paid a lot of attention to keeping the working hours and there were regular breaks. They also provided clothes and boots for working which especially helped during the colder and/or sunnier days. Most working days, 정선 was cooking absolutely delicious meals worthy of featuring at a Michelin star restaurant. I learned so much about Korean food and creative cooking from her! It was also just so amazing to eat the fresh organic vegetables directly from the farm. Apart from teaching us about organic farming, 조 also shared his wisdom on buddhism, meditation and we learned a lot! The farm is really out in the sticks so you can enjoy the calm and quiet nature. There are plenty of things to do on days off/ after work: There are a number of hiking paths in the immediate proximity of the farm that are worth exploring and there’s even a swimming spot nearby for warm days. If you miss the city life, Gyeongju is also easy to reach by bus and is a really fun city to explore. 조 and 정선 also took us out on little adventures around the area, which allowed us to see a lot. The kimchi making at the beginning of November was an especially rewarding experience. It was a lot of work to make kimchi at this scale but also extremely fun to work together as a big team! When writing this, I’ve only been away for a few days now and I already miss 조, 정선，the amazing food and the farm. Can’t recommend volunteering here enough!

Emily was a lovely person to host, she fit right in with the team and although she had to leave for the animal sanctuary earlier than planned we appreciate all her contributions to helping around the farm. Hope all is going well up north!
