Muchísimas gracias Luz, Jaime y familia por recibirme. Compartir y aprender de ustedes fue una bendecida experiencia! He aprendido muchas sobre como trabajar en el campo y en la agricultura, y en el cuidado de los animalitos. Hemos compartido muy lindos momentos que quedarán guardados en nuestras memorias Dios mediante. El campo es espectacular, con una vista increíble, en una comunidad muy entrelazada de manera familiar. Estaré siempre agradecido con ustedes, Dios les siga bendiciendo! Pay Pay Shuk Punllakama

La experiencia en Dos Brazos fue increíble! Suzanna y Channy son dos personas maravillosas con un corazón grande. Ellos son siempre disponibles y agradables. Siempre me sentí como en casa! Durante los tours con Channy aprendí muchísimo sobre la naturaleza del parque🦜🌈. Suzanna es una super cocinera y puede compartir con los voluntarios la super comida🥘🍰🍌. El cuarto dónde estaba es cómodo y se puede escuchar todos los sonidos de la naturaleza. Recomiendo!! ❤️🦋

Our stay with Ali and Paul was wonderful! We learned so many new things during our time there and gained practical experience in a wide variety of areas. Communication was great and the work was fair! Thank you again.

Nico pasó casi 2 semanas en la granjita ayudando a mis papás en todas las actividades propias del lugar, por ejemplo, regar los arbolitos, arreglar corrales, hacer trabajos de mantenimiento en general. También ayudó a mamá a hacer un nuevo jardín en la casa. Durante el tiempo que se quedó en la granja ha sido de gran ayuda y siempre atento y disponible a dar la mano en lo que sea necesario. Recomiendo al 100% a Nico en sus siguientes proyectos, es un gran muchacho!

Ottie was an extraordinary workawayer, showcasing her remarkable resourcefulness and unwavering eagerness to tackle each new task with enthusiasm. Her infectious energy was the kind that continually fostered a dynamic and progressive environment, making her presence a catalyst for positive change. One of her significant contributions was engaging with the girls, where she played an instrumental role in helping them embark on a journey of self-discovery. Through her guidance, the girls learned the importance of collaboration, and she curated a reflective space that allowed them to identify and embrace what truly makes them happy. In addition to her work with the girls, Ottie was also an invaluable volunteer in the local farm setup. She quickly adapted to the agricultural tasks, demonstrating a keen ability to learn and execute various activities in the garden independently. Her hands-on approach and swift learning curve were evident as she seamlessly integrated into the farming operations. If there's one thing to highlight about Ottie's demeanor, it's her infectious and consistent energy. Her creativity and brilliance shone through in every task she undertook, leaving a lasting impression on those around her. Her presence was so cherished that we often found ourselves wishing we could keep Ottie here indefinitely, as she truly embodied the spirit of enthusiasm and innovation.

Ebba and Elise stayed with us for 6 weeks in November and December of 2025. During that time they experienced trying their hands at: Designing and manufacture of a canvas cover, and completing the deck around the pool, as well as installation of a tank for water recovery. Road works, including laying of a 10 metre, 450mm concrete pipe storm water drain, and spreading and leveling bitumen profiles. Rural plumbing work with poly pipe and fittings. Interior house painting. Window cleaning and other household tasks. Weeding, stick picking and the beginnings of new area in our small rain forest for picnicking. Tree planting, making tree guards and maintenance of the young trees. Mango and Macadamia picking. Working with hand and power tools. And this is only a short list of what they accomplished. They are early risers, eager to get in and get work done, quick learners, and always while smiling or singing. We really achieved a lot during their stay. They were also very lucky to pick the time of year that has many social events, giving them plenty of opportunities to meet lots of the extended family, friends and neighbors as well as some previous workaways who returned to spend Xmas with us. They were well received at every event and added their Swedish twist with foods they prepared and sharing of their home traditions. They were very helpful around the house, including preparing meals (the best Swedish meat balls) and helping out with many chores. They were enthusiastic participants with cards, board games and table tennis, teaching us some of their home games and styles. Overall, we really enjoyed having them stay. They are welcome back here anytime they are passing through and we can highly recommend then to any host that they may apply to. We can definitely say they have been the best "Swedish Workaways" that we have hosted to date.

Our first Workaway in Ecuador . Realy appreciated the help and visit best wishes in your travels . Good people Danke fur das zeit ,alles Gutes vincha

What a beautiful place full of beautiful people!! I spent about three weeks in Aswan, Egypt working on this project and it wasn't nearly enough. The work ranged from helping in the kitchen, learning plant based Egyptian recipes, to garden work and animal care. The hosts are all very welcoming and understanding. It was easy for me to communicate when I needed a break and when I had extra to give. Can't describe how much I miss the food and the company of every kind soul I met. The vision of this project is extraordinary and I hope to come back and see the progress made towards its final form. Many sweet memories of swimming in the nile river and exploring among the rocks. Until next time!

Owain is a fabulous workawayer. So easy to spend time with, was happy to fit in with whatever was happening in the house, cooked meals, helped tick off jobs in the garden that needed doing and an all round lovely person. A week is such a small amount of time to get to know someone but Owain made that easy and I hope he felt appreciated to the full. We have felt so fortunate with all of the workaways we have opened our home to and Owain is for sure included in that. Very welcome back any time.

What a wonderful weeklong holiday visit with Michiko and family. Simple and gracious, we merged our lives for the time being. And she made my first Workaway experience one to remember. The kids were immediately warm and responsive, very sweet, and playful. It was easy to lend a hand with the puppy, sing, play, massage, goof off, make art, and share tradition, language, and culture. I knew Michiko and I would get along from the beginning. She's very kind. We cooked together, a little. 😉 I wish I could have done more. A longer stay, maybe, to actually take more of the load off of her shoulders. But we balanced it well, and had fun. I would say I learned more from her by wtnessing and learning the pragmatic, precise, and concerted ((very Japanese)) style which Michiko makes her humble magic happen in the kitchen. It was a pleasure overall, to make new friends in this way. I enjoyed coming out to Matsumoto for this stay.

Hanna a été une volontaire très très agréable. Elle est très ouverte , multiculturelle , son niveau de français est excellent. Hanna est très positive, relaxante et toujours ouverte à la discussion. Nous avons eu tout de suite un contact familial, elle a tout de suite compris comment se comporter avec Barbara. Si Hanna en a la possibilité, nous serons ravis de l’accueillir de nouveau! Merci pour ton aide et ta gentillesse 🥰

Me hospedé durante aproximadamente dos semanas en compañía de mi pareja, durante ese tiempo siempre nos sentimos muy bien acogidos por Laura, y todo su equipo. Nuestro trabajo consistía en la limpieza de las mesas y sillas durante la mañana y en el encendido de veladoras y la recepción de huéspedes durante la noche. Nuestra corta estadía fue increíble, descubriendo la calidez de la gente local y la belleza natural del lugar, además de tener la oportunidad de conocer a magníficas personas durante esta aventura.

Christian war ein wirklich netter, freundlicher und zuvorkommender Gastgeber. Wir haben dir Zeit auf der wunderschönen Insel mit ihm und anderen Workawayern sehr genoßen. Unterkunft und Arbeit waren wie beschrieben absolut zufriedenstellend. Christian findet für jeden passende aufgebend und stets wertschätzend. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert, danke Christian für die wundervolle Zeit!

This is a wonderful place to disappear into. The accom they house you in is really nice, the lunches your treated to on the days you work are incredible and very filling. The kitchen you have access to is really well stocked. The work can sometimes be the typical work of a hostel, but also a much wider range of possible tasks can appear. and I really enjoyed the diversity of my days here doing what was needed. Thanks to the whole family for making me feel so welcome.

Grace was kind enough to take me at very short notice when my Christmas arrangement cancelled due to illness. I spent a lovely time mostly weeding , thinning out plants, mowing the lawn and sundry other jobs. The property is very comfortable & Whanganui has some charming attractions including the historic paddle steamer & lively Saturday market. Grace is extremely easy going & very hospitable which made missing my family Christmas bearable and even enjoyable. Recommended.

Volunteering at Mirador de Galan for Anne was an excellent experience. Anne has built an incredible sanctuary where you can learn a lot about horses, Nicaraguan living, and vegan cooking. Anne sends you information ahead of time (be sure to read it), the work day is structured so you know what to expect and while the labor can be physically demanding, you also get a lot of time to rest, read, nap, etc. You stay in a typical Nicaraguan house that is partly outside (the best hammocks!) so you get to spend your time with the animals and enjoying the beautiful nature surrounding the property. Anne is very kind natured, funny, communicative, and hard working— she works harder than anybody and needs good, honest volunteers to help keep the sanctuary at such a great standard of care for all residents. Being able to adapt, pick-up routine and communicate your needs are skills you should possess. The animals, of course, are all absolutely wonderful. Some of the horses (understandably) take time to open up so the longer you can stay, the more you (and they) will benefit. If you love animals, nature, exercise and a peaceful life, I would absolutely recommend this Workaway. It is an authentic way to experience Nicaragua and very meaningful work. Thank you for everything, Anne! I will be back!

Louise and Chris are an incredible couple , the absolute perfect workaways. They are diligent, skilful and adaptable, three qualities that are so valuable as workaways. Their stay with us was so productive,they managed to transform many of our gardens , along with trimming hedges , pruning laterals in the vineyard and endless weeding. Chris and Louise are such a team and work so well together. We enjoyed their company , many conversations and their great sense of humour. They are just the BEST. We look forward to their return and hearing about their adventures, along with a few games of Bananagrams….

Dear Martin, Jorunn and Merete, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible stay. It was my first experience abroad on my own, and to be honest I was a little anxious, but from the very first days I felt right at home! I could never have hoped for a better workaway experience, and it's all thanks to you! I got to meet lots of people (mostly French, hehe) and practise my English. I'm not a very handy person, but I learned how to do DIY and get by! To be honest, there were lots of things I didn't know how to do when I arrived. But I learned to cook lots of dishes, bake cakes, do DIY, clean boats and, above all, fish! I would never have discovered some things if I hadn't come. Like fishing, which I learned from the other Workaway volunteers (thanks Maja and Pierre), and now I'm crazy about it! As for the island, it's absolutely beautiful! Exploring it, you feel a sense of magic as you pass through the dense forests. We were able to discover it on foot, by boat, by kayak and by paddleboard! Living in the city, I've never felt so peaceful! We were lucky to have a historic July with high temperatures ranging from 28 to 31°C! In any case, I enjoyed the work and the variety of tasks, and I hope I was able to leave my mark on the island through my work and my desserts! I admit that I am a little late in writing this message, but better late than never. It was truly the most memorable experience for me in 2025, and I keep thinking back on my summer, away from my current problems 😅 Thank you so much, and I hope you continue to welcome wonderful people and that all your projects on the island come to fruition! Julien (Stayed from 30 May - 8 August)
