Although some time has passed the memory of Maxim's stay here is still vivid and has been a pleasure to host him. Thank you Maxim for all the help , nice conversations, presence and wit. Remember that you are still welcome here , take care!

Magnus and Cedella volunteered at for 20 days, and we were very happy to host them. During their stay, they both made a strong contribution to the center by helping with German and Spanish classes, bringing not only their language skills but also patience, clarity, and a very positive attitude to every lesson. Our students enjoyed learning with them and felt comfortable and motivated in their classes. Beyond teaching, Magnus and Cedella were also actively involved in the rooftop project, always ready to help with practical tasks and to offer ideas to improve the space. They were responsible, respectful, and easy to communicate with, and they integrated very well into the team and local community. We truly appreciated their commitment and kindness, and we would gladly host them again in the future. We highly recommend Magnus and Cedella to any host looking for reliable, hard-working, and friendly volunteers.

Miguel and Maria spent 4 1/2 months with us. We got along really well and they were a great help with lots of different tasks (renovations, cooking, child care, cleaning, cutting trees, ...). We are very thankful for the wonderful time. Thanks for everything!

Hola this is a good time work here Roci helping a lots and easy work in here you can get free time going out !! Muchas gracias

Erica a passé quelques jours à la maison de manière très improvisée. C’est une jeune femme très sympathique et dynamique, elle s’est tout de suite adaptée à la situation de manière simple et efficace. Elle est très interessante, et cultivée, son niveau de français est bon. Nous sommes impatients de revoir Erica !

Mi experiencia con Aaro fue realmente magnífica. Es una persona que cumple con los horarios y los objetivos, es muy comunicativo y tiene un excelente sentido del humor. Además, es extremadamente educado y responsable. Dejó los espacios impecables, los jardines estuvieron muy cuidados y su trabajo fue siempre de gran calidad. Nuestra relación fue estupenda; siempre mostró una actitud agradecida, sin importar lo mucho o poco que se le brindara. Aaro trabajó junto a María Luisa, y juntos hicieron una excelente dupla. Se complementaron muy bien y lograron mucho durante su estancia. Quiero agradecerle sinceramente por su buena onda, su proactividad y todo lo que aportó a nuestra casa. Sin duda, Aaro tiene una familia en el Perú. A los futuros anfitriones, no duden en aceptarlo, ¡no se van a arrepentir! Es una persona confiable, respetuosa y con muchas ganas de trabajar. ¡Un placer haberlo tenido con nosotros!

It was a wonderful experience for us, and we really appreciate everything. Mick is a really kind person and always took good care of us. He also taught us how to light a fire and showed us his sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle. Thank you for everything!

I loved my time at Alexis' place and could have happily stayed a few more weeks. This is an opportunity not to be slept on if you have any interest in learning to build with earth or if you just want to experience a simple, slow-paced life surrounded by beautiful nature. Alexis is a great teacher who loves to share his knowledge. He made an effort to show us different skills and procedures so we could learn as much as possible. He's a kind, super easy-going guy who's a lot of fun to be around. I highly recommend you come pay him a visit! A few things to know before you go: - Bring cash. You'll need it and the only place to get it in town is a shop that charges a 10% fee. -Don't expect to have much online connection. There's no internet and barely cell service. However, you can go up to town if you want to have some connection and charge your devices. - Be prepared for a workout. Alexis lives at the bottom of a valley below the town so a vigorous uphill hike awaits you when you need to get groceries or do anything in town.

I had such a rewarding time here. Br. Stefan and the members of the community could not have been more welcoming and supportive. They truly are radically inclusive in the very best Benedictine tradition. (That included accommodating my wonderful dog, Charlie too) . Our room was spacious and beautiful, the food plentiful and nourishing, and the setting gorgeous! I loved getting to help outside with the garden, tools and trails. There were also projects expanding accommodation spaces and maintaining Sophia House. What truly sets CoP apart is the focus on spiritual development/growth. It is so enriching to participate in 3 time a day prayer/meditation sessions and periods of noble silence! Forever grateful for the opportunity to volunteer there and hope to be back very soon.

Luna was a really wonderful help. Luna stayed around 2 months and took care of the animals and also was wonderful with the garden, plants and general tidying. Luna is trustworthy, responsible, she's got good awareness and is friendly with a creative perspective - she's a pleasure to host. Luna was great help planting some roses and sorting out some beds of plants. She was great to have around and the animals really appreciated her too, I very much recommend her! Thanks Luna - see you again!

Johanna and Tomas were super welcoming, and shared beautiful experience with me. Everyday was so flexible and they explained well that it would be like that on the day one- The house was located very good location where I could easily visit city when I wanted. Johanna was such a passionate hard working woman that I really respect, and Tomas was such a fun, and kind host who shared very Mexican experience/food ! Loved the time there so much and I cannot wait to go back their home again

Nous avons passé une expérience merveilleuse chez Najat, Mehdi et Iyad. Ils sont très accueillants, généreux et sympathiques. Nous avons échangé de belles discussions et de nombreux fous rires avec eux. Ils nous ont appris beaucoup de choses sur la culture marocaine, sur leur langue et leurs habitudes, tout en dégustant de délicieux repas (ce ne sont pas des petites portions) et de nombreuses tasses de thé. La récolte des olives est une expérience à ne pas manquer, surtout si vous voulez vous faire des muscles;) Le séjour a passé beaucoup trop vite. Un gros merci à vous trois, vous allez nous manquer! Jasmine et Zitoun

Lærke and Anna stayed with us for 10 days and we could not have asked for better helpers. They both helped Fleur with making cosmetics, picking herbs and olives, making smudge sticks, helping with chores around the house and as teachers were great with our children who really enjoyed spending time with them. Both are really social and were super nice to be around with and we hope to have them back one day and in the meantime wish them a great journey!

Matt stayed here for 2 weeks in November. He was mainly helping us pick olives and he was a good tree climber! Always cheerful,Matt was great to have around, helpful, open and fun. I wish he could have stayed longer. We had a few rainy days during the olive picking when we learnt some new card games. And Matt was adaptable with the weather so we had a good olive harvest and pressing at the mill which is always an interesting experience. Matt was an excellent helper.

Thank you so much, Fluton. You are like a warm uncle to us. From the moment you arrived and started teaching, everything felt warmer. We hope you will come back to our school again and stay with us for a long time.

I had such an incredible time staying with Rochelle and Don!! I stayed for over 5 weeks and loved every second of it, the cabin is so cute and a perfect place to feel like home and have access to all of the wonderful experiences in Bariloche. I had a lot of fun hanging out with their kids, and I also spent a lot of time at the school where I learned and got to practice my Spanish and be part of a very welcoming community. I got to spend some good quality time with there very cute cat and chickens which I immensely enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this host to anyone, especially if you have experience with and enjoy hanging out with kids. Thank You so so much, I will never forget this incredible experience!!

It was truly wonderful to meet David, and connections like this are exactly why this platform is so special. From the moment we met, he had this amazing energy and a unique way of seeing the world that instantly impressed me. We had a great time traveling to different parts of Nepal, sharing stories, laughing, and experiencing so many things together. He also helped me a lot with my Spanish, and I’m excited to keep practicing with him in the future. David blended in with my family, friends, and culture so naturally, it felt like he had always been part of our circle. I highly recommend David on this platform. Not just as a volunteer, but as an incredible human being who brings positivity everywhere he goes. Amigos para toda la vida – hasta el final de nuestros días. 🙏🙂

Bahareh stayed with us for a couple of weeks, and during that time we grew very fond of her. We asked her to help with cooking meals for the other volunteers, and she did an amazing job — she prepared incredible Iranian dishes that everyone absolutely loved. She also took our dogs for walks and always did it with great care and attention. Bahareh is a wonderfully kind, intelligent, and genuinely decent person. She was very easy and pleasant to live and work with. We miss her a lot and would be happy to welcome her again anytime.

Pasé tres semanas con Marcos y fue una experiencia maravillosa. Estás rodeado de una naturaleza preciosa y gente increíble. Todas las mañanas, antes de ir a trabajar, tomábamos mate juntos y luego, dependiendo de la temperatura, trabajábamos hasta el mediodía. Empezábamos terminando el techo y luego nivelábamos el piso. Sin duda, aprendes mucho allí, y siempre era divertido porque Marcos es increíblemente amable, tranquilo y divertido, lo que hace que el trabajo sea mucho más relajado. Al principio, solía caer en sus bromas porque pensaba que hablaba en serio, pero con el tiempo aprendí a distinguir cuándo hablaba en serio y cuándo bromeaba. Ashe y Flor (dos voluntarias que llevan seis meses viviendo allí) también son increíblemente amables y divertidas, y siempre fue un placer pasar tiempo con ellas. También hay tres cascadas preciosas a cinco minutos a pie, a las que a veces íbamos juntos. En resumen, fue una experiencia maravillosa que voy a extrañar mucho.

Lucia und Josip waren wunderbare Workawayer und eine echte Bereicherung für unsere Zeit zusammen. Beide sind super nette, offene und interessante Persönlichkeiten, die sich von Anfang an bemüht haben, sich einzubringen und uns zu unterstützen. Es war nicht nur für uns sehr harmonisch, sondern auch eine Freude, die liebevolle und ausgeglichene Art zu beobachten, wie sie als Paar miteinander umgehen. Unsere Pferde waren bei den beiden in den besten Händen. Sie haben alle Stallaufgaben mit Leichtigkeit, Effizienz und großem Verantwortungsbewusstsein erledigt – stets sorgfältig und aufmerksam. Man merkte ihnen an, dass ihnen das Wohl der Tiere wirklich am Herzen liegt. Wir können Lucia und Josip nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen und würden uns sehr freuen, sie eines Tages wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.
