Staying and working with Joshua and Karina has been the highlight of our travels so far. Joshua is a guy with a vision and you can really feel how much he cares about the local community. He has some great values and he is very aware of how he is working with and for the locals. The organization is also very well structured and the facilities are great. It is kind of a community within a community. On the days working we would do some manual labor including mixing materials for adobe, making homemade organic fertilizer, help building a large water filtration system and help cooking for the workers and interns. We also took part in a minga - a local workday in the community. We learned a lot working here and it was a lot of different jobs. Every day starts with a 10 minute check in which was super nice! We stayed with a host family which added so much to our experience as well. We highly recommend staying with a host family. We enjoyed many conversations, prepared Danish food, learned a couple of Ecuadorian recipies, learned traditional songs for carneval, and got invited to a community party. If you show interest, take initiative and say 'yes!' you will definitely get some unforgettable experiences and new friends. We only speak some basic Spanish but we got along very well with working and living here. Getting to and from the place was very easy and convenient with public transport. Communication with Joshua was super good and he helped with instructions on how to get there. The two cities closest to the village are easily accessible for local markets, food, grocery shopping etc. Working with Joshua and Karina in the amazing place of Atandahua is probably the best way anyone can experience local culture as well as feeling that you are contributing to something good. Thank you so much to Joshua and Karina - Atandahua will forever have a special place in our hearts!

We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the care, dedication, and creativity Anna and Ari have shared with us during their time on our project. Thanks to their passion and effort, workshops and Spanish classes became special moments filled with learning, great memories, and creativity. They have made teaching Spanish dynamic, fun, and effective, and we’re incredibly grateful for their unique and positive approach. The impact of their work has been amazing. Our project hasn’t just improved visually through the art and craft workshops—they've also brought a warm and motivating atmosphere. Both our members and team are happier, not only from the knowledge they’ve gained but also from the beautiful moments shared and the affection they’ve received. And wait until you hear them sing; you’ll feel as though two angels have come to brighten and soften your days! Thanks a lot Ana and Ari!

A very unique, peaceful and eye opening experience which I really recommend other volunteers to be a part of. I join a great team of volunteers and was welcomed by a warm and organized place in a beautiful setting. I did one week of gardening work where every goal reached was celebrated by the kind managers. A lot of good moment, laughter and peaceful reflection was spend here. Thank you!

The 2 weeks at their house were priceless. I will not forget the taste of their lunch and dinner. The family was full of energy and warm hearts. I did wood tidying, cleaning up fallen leaves, and walking the dog. These works were all in the beautiful nature. I'm grateful for everything. I recommend doing workaway in their house.

Wow, what a place! Fernando is amazing guy with a great energy and clear vision. Communication! :) I ate best food, I got my own little place on the land (or even four during one stay, which was fun) and got best tips to see area, Working on a land was a pleasure, Tasks varify, so you won't be bored. We did weeding, planting, construction work with mud house, we cleaned area, we took care about plants and animals and have fun. After work (8-13) we had plenty of time to chill out or explore. A month passed so quick! I've met good people. That is a good place. I'm grateful. I will never forget these views! Thank you for everything!

It has been my first Workaway experience ever and so far just the best :) I stayed with Marc & Bev for 2 and a half weeks and there was not even one day where I wanted to be somewhere else. They've got a wonderful house in a wonderful area and they really know, how to make something beautiful out of it. The work is really not the hardest and they will always look after you, so you don´t do too much :) Marc is the best cook by the way and if you're there, ask him for fries, ahhh they are just lovely. I loved hearing all the stories they can tell and there is always something to laugh with them. Bev is just the sweetest and if you have a sense of humor it's even better :) I will miss you so much and if I am ever back in this area, I will definitely visit you. Take care - Marie

Jake gets a bonus star in the skills department. We have greatly enjoyed having him here helping on the farm this past month. He has been incredibly hard working and has been a great asset. He made cedar split rails, chopped loads of firewood, spread clay to seal the pond, cared for the animals while we went away, and also he has built us a beautiful farm stand at the end of the driveway. Jake is kind, respectful, easy to be around and we wished he would stay longer! All the best on your travels Jake. Can’t thank you enough.

Josh and Lucy were a pleasure to host. They are bright, fun, and hard working. We really enjoyed getting to know them during their stay here on the farm. They helped us so much with processing fruit, chopping firewood and anything else that needed doing. Looking forward to seeing you both again if/ when you return to Canada. Grateful for all you did here this Fall!

I stayed on the farm for 8 days. I wish I could’ve stayed more l, but I have a limited time here in Europe. Krisha was such a warm and friendly person and made me feel welcomed and at home. Her silly personality made me laugh quite a bit and was quite contagious. I really felt like I made quite an impact on the farm with what the other workies and I accomplished. I really enjoyed the meals she cooked, learning about Vikings, all the fun walks we did, and exploring the towns. This was my first Workaway experience and I am so glad that it was on Krishas farm. I am very thankful for this time and I would love to go back.

This morning Lucie and Riyadh left our place. Already we and the dogs & cats miss them very much! Lucie and Riyadh were our very first WorkAwayers and they did such a good job helping us out with so many different jobs! It will be very difficult for new people to equal that ;-) They are a very happy and eager-to-learn couple and did a lot of sanding, cleaning and painting outside objects, gardening as pruning trees, cutting grass and weeding, sawing and stacking our wood for the fireplace. We are so grateful for them doing all those jobs for us. Next to all the hardwork they are such a friendly and communicative couple, we had great conversations learning how their life back home looks like.

I absolutely loved having Kathleen as a volunteer. She got on really well with everybody at the shelter and she made everthing to be the perfect volunteer. At home she was very kind, clean and tidy. What I liked about Kathleen is that she is capable of finding the perfect balance between sharing time together and giving space for our personal lifes. We used to talk during the mornings before she left and I can ensure that she has a life full of adventures that other hosts should not miss to learn about. Also, she is a very active person. Despite the fact that she is older than the average volunteers on this site, don't expect to meet lady who just wants to enjoy retirement, because what you will find is a very energetic woman (even more active than people in their twenties). In the shelter, all the other volunteers loved her so much. Even though she could not communicate fluently in Spanish with the staff who didn't know English, she knew how to make herself understood and everyone felt that she was wonderful and fun. After she left, I could only hear nice words about her volunteering here and everybody misses her a lot. Kathleen, now you are part of a very especial family, the Animalets family. See you soon!

My workaway at Timothy's ranch was an incredible experience. I stayed for about 4 weeks (I think that is the minimum required to get to know the ponies), in a small and cosy cottage next to his house, at the foot of a beautiful hill. The ponies are very cute, each has its own personality, they can be a bit stubborn sometimes, so it is not always easy to work with them, but really rewarding ! Timothy is very accomodating with the work schedule, he has great recommendations to visit stunning west cork and hidden gems, and he always has many great stories to tell ! He also lent me a bike so I could discover the area, and Schull is a really nice village ! Thanks for everything !

Kerstin, Carsten, and Christopher, Our German family we already miss so much Our first workaway couldn’t have been better! Even before we arrived, Kerstin was there, giving advice about clothes and helping with the train details. The way you welcomed us with that big smile, a warm hug, and dinner ready, we felt at home instantly. We stayed for almost 3 months, and without a doubt, these were some of the most meaningful days of our lives. We learned a lot, especially about gardening, You always treated us with respect and believed in what we could do, even when things got tricky. You always made sure we were warm and fed, and no matter what you were dealing with, you always met us with that big smile. Oma—so sweet, always doing her best to welcome us and so happy to see us cozy in our jackets and enjoying our meals. Always kind and warm. Carsten, for the first time, we felt with you what it’s like to have a dad. From showing us how to open a beer to chopping wood. The barbecues were always a treat, and you made sure we had the best time. Thanks Vater Christopher, we really felt like we had an older brother here. Going into the forest with you for the first time to hunt for mushrooms was eye-opening. Sharing that experience made me appreciate how unique our paths are! Tina is amazing, and the day with the horses was so much fun. It was great to meet everyone and communicate in our own funny way. family friends were so fun and cheerful, added even more depth to our time here. Thiago and everyone at the restaurant made these last days extra special. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without you, creative dishes, fresh-smelling towels and bed linens, the best treats, breathtaking views, Italian music in the car, your amazing perfume... Really, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll carry you all with us always. Love, Kelvin & Miguel

Xanthe taught English at our institute for a month and did a great job! She was dedicated, adaptable, and always willing to help. She also brought a cheerful energy to our volunteer team, and we loved having her around. We highly recommend her for any teaching role!

I guess I will not be able to share my feelings completely when I look back on our time with Bridget. Actually I was kind of sure that she is going to be a special person in our lives but I didn't expect that we will love her this much.. The only thing that comforts me is the thought that we will meet again in the future - it should be like this for sure :) We spent two weeks together in our homes and I would say if she didn't help us with anything only the experience to get to know her would have been worth for us. But she was helping in a perfect way (we didn't really need to tell her what to do but she knew and found the way), she is open-minded and open-hearted.. full of joy and kindness. And it was such a pleasure to see what an amazing artist she is. I guess we all became inspired of her enthusiasm about creativity. I cannot imagine a better Workawayer! Thank you so much that you became part of our lives, Bridget! You are welcome back to us any time! But you know it.. :)

Nuestra experiencia con Darío fue increíble. Tuvimos unas conversaciones muy interesantes, nos empapó de la cultura ecuatoriana en muchos sentidos, tuvimos mucho tiempo libre para conocer Quito y sus alrededores, personas muy amigables y platos tradicionales deliciosos. Fue una gran primera experiencia en Workaway. Darío, muchas gracias por hacer de nuestra estadía una experiencia muy agradable, y por todo lo compartido.

I (Makana) spent almost three weeks pet-sitting for Angelica and had such a peaceful, rewarding time. The bulk of my “work” consisted of taking Lupe and Dragon on our daily runs/walks/adventures, and spending quality time with them and Salchicha (the cat) in the evenings. I fed everyone daily and bathed the dogs once a week. I also helped a bit with a guest (getting them settled in at the lodge) and pitched in with the laundry after a large group checked out before my departure. Angelica is a light and made sure I had everything I needed while she was away. She was super communicative and always reachable by phone. I felt well taken care of and so fortunate to be able to experience the Osa amongst such kind souls. She and her partner even woke up extra early and drove me to the bus stop at 5AM—thanks again, guys! I will treasure my time here and am so happy to have connected with Angelica when I did—wish we would have gotten to talk more! If you have the opportunity to volunteer with her in any capacity, you can expect an efficient host, who is supportive, trusting, and easy to work with!!
