Is Workaway a good idea?

Based on 415,118 reviews, Workaway experiences have been rated an average 4.9/5 by its users and hosts. Note that this grade is from individual reviews rather than of Workaway itself, so it’s still important to read through individual reviews before committing to anything!

Is Workaway free?

They have placements all over the world with hosts who advertise volunteer exchange positions in hostels, on farms, in private homes – pretty much everywhere you can imagine – that travellers can search and apply for. There is a registration fee, but then every work exchange is free of charge.
