Análisis, comentarios y calificaciones de Workaway

Marta es una mujer muy amable, disponible, cariñosa. La amiga mejor qué podía encontrar! Ella y sus hijos León y Alba por mi ya son Familia! Los peques son muy amables, divertidos y cariñosos, me han enseñado el amor incondicional. Hemos jugado mucho, cocinado juntos, bailado y cantado. Cómo fui en Ibiza en verano hemos sido a la playa, a la piscina, a los parques.. Ha sido tan bonito qué no podría explicarlo con palabras.. Os recomiendo un montón un Workaway con ellos ❤️

Me and my partner spent five amazing days at Sara's place. It's beautifully located in the hills of Valmarecchia valley, very cozy and comfortable. Sara was very welcoming and always energetic and helpful. She gave us lots of recommendations for the area, took us with her to nearby villages, and always made sure that we had everything we needed. Her daughter came up with new jokes every day and made us laugh a lot. The work was really varied which was great! We trimmed bushes, assembled a sowing machine, painted walls, worked in the forest and in the field, etc. We also prepared lots of dishes in Sara's amazingly equipped kitchen! In the afternoons we went hiking. The nearby villages are cute, there's bakeries, gelaterias, museums, and great views everywhere! For its rural character, the area has a lot to offer. We also had lots of interesting conversations with Sara, who really offered us an insight into her way of living. Now that I'm back in the city, I think a lot about Valmarecchia and the peacefulness of her home, and hopefully we'll be able to visit again!

Roos is a whole world of adventure; she loves the simplicity of life. Very spontaneous and down-to-earth. Highly independent and self-reliant, she approaches all tasks with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Very sociable and attentive to others, with a great sensitivity, she appreciates moments of rejuvenation in nature. A strong yet gentle presence. It's a real pleasure to be in her presence, thank you for all your support, and come back whenever you want. May the best accompany you. big Hug Dario & Oréann

We enjoyed having Reike and Anna to stay. They got on well with the kids, hanging out with them on the trampoline and entertaining them. They did some painting and cleaning for us and were pretty relaxed.

We had a great time with Petra at our holiday home in Ranfurly. She quickly became part of the family and the kids loved having her to play with. She kept our dishes under control very efficiently and did some mulching, painting, washing windows and a number of other tasks to help us out. She was easy to talk to. She enjoyed getting out in nature as well as reading and always joined us for meals. We'd be happy to recommend Petra.

Mirei has been a blessing to our family and we are really sad to see her go. She has been with us for just 2 short weeks and has completed every task asked of her with great willingness and joy. We were delighted to learn a lot about Japan, and she cooked us tasty Japanese food. Mirei has a positive, friendly personality and got on really well with everyone in our home including our adult son who is on the spectrum and rarely engages with anyone. She easily fitted into our sometimes chaotic family life and was willing to give everything a go including many trips to the lake for a swim in cold waters. She will be a great help to any project and what she doesn't know she is a willing student. We would gladly have her back and wish her well on her workaway ventures. Who ever is fortunate to host her is blessed.

I had a wonderful 10 days with Justin and Johanna (and Valie the puppy!). They are kind, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about so many things, including the natural history and plants and animals of the region- I certainly learned a lot from them. The work involved both prepping their house for their new projects (stacking wood, sorting old materials) as well as work in the garden and helping prep meals, and they were always willing to teach me how to do a task if it wasn't something I was already familiar with. Also, I loved exploring the trails around their house in my free time! Big thanks to you two!

It was a terrible day today. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Charlotte & Koen. What wonderful, sweet, fun and active people. They have made a great contribution to the maintenance of the place for more than five weeks. In addition, they can cook very well and are very independent in carrying out the required work. Charlotte has done a great job in our landscape park and painting in one of the houses and Koen has become the champion brush cutter of the Alentejo. We really enjoyed their presence here, working, exercising and eating together. It was amazing, or, as the Portuguese say: “Cinco Estrellas”.

Orna and Anthony were our guests with their dog Sky for 5 weeks in October/November 2023. There was more than enough to do,a lot had been left undone. Both got involved right from the start and worked hard. To give a few examples - Orna took over the walnut and olive harvest, organized and replanted our greenhouse. Anthony cleared uprooted trees, cleared fences and land of lush thorns, and prepared firewood.Together they sanded and repainted our garden furniture, built and cleaned steps on the slopes and cared for our animals in a species-appropriate and loving manner. They worked commited, independently and solution-oriented, often more than expected. Right at the beginning, the shelter for the horse was built together and the tree house was secured for the grandchildren. Here too, their experience and creativity contributed greatly to the success. They were interested in the Sierra, its nature and history. Our dog was always there on their daily walk through the sourrounding forest. We really enjoyed the day together in the Rio Tinto mines, attending the concert in the theater in Aracena and the good conversations with them on the open fire. A few times they took over the cooking and prepared their favorite dishes for us. Towards the end we even had a short vacation. We entrusted them with the finca and the animals for a few days and set off without any worries. It was our first experience with workaway, and a really good one. We learned a lot. Regardless, we feel that meeting Orna and Anthony was a great personal win for us. Thanks for all, we hope to see you again.

Gabriela was so friendly right from the initial meeting and happy and bubbly personality she was a wonderful fit for our busy household. She took the kids on outings in the community and let them teach her how to skateboard so she is brave. Gabriela is reliable and honest and s he is easy to talk to. She even made us a traditional Bulgarian dish one meal time. Thanks for stopping by and travel safe.

We (Hannah, Ali, and Èva) had the most brilliant time staying with Francesco in his beautiful orange garden. It’s everything you wish a workaway to be, and more! The land is both peaceful and stunning and it’s a great opportunity to completely switch off and connect with nature. We enjoyed a variety of tasks day to day, and Francesco ensured that we felt supported & comfortable throughout. We also spent a few days in his neighbour’s garden olive picking. Francesco is a wonderful and kind host and his great sense of humour and humility made us quickly feel at home. He’s an excellent cook and we enjoyed freshly prepared meals (often with vegetables from the garden itself) everyday. We learned lots about Sicilian culture & history, and Francesco generously took us into Paterno on a few occasions to try the delicious arancini and granita. This workaway is the perfect opportunity to live as a local in the Sicilian countryside, we highly recommend it to everyone :). Thank you Francesco for welcoming us into your home, and for the treasured time we shared!

Nataly and Markus were a very interesting presence and company for us: mature, confident, with them in the group we had the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn a lot. They always worked with care and they made up a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with the other volunteers and friends. They are precise in the work assigned, always available to share, listening to the situation and to each of their volunteer friends and to us nuns. They both have an attentive eye and this is evident in the beautiful photographs they take! Nataly fixed a large amount of windows with a lot of passion and professionalism, Markus collaborated more in the garden work with great patience, then adapting to any other task. Thank you so much for your presence here! A big wish for your future!

We had a lovely time with Marcela. As my daughter was at school when she visited us, she helped me in gardening and house chores. And she also cooked. Marcela is respectful, clean and friendly. We had some lovely chats on her country and her family, sharing our experiences. She adapted to our family very well and was very helpful. As she only speaks Spanish, communication with my 9 yo daughter was not easy and unfortunately she didn't have the chance to bond with Marcela.

Lucie and Sevan were the perfect guests. Such a fabulous couple with a positive attitude and eager to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and are so grateful to have meet them. They helped trim hedges, split firewood, shift firewood, garden, fill trailer loads for the tip and much more. We can HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. ❤️

During his one week volunteering period, Bradley proved to be a good addition to the team. He did all assigned duties with great enthusiasm. His dedication to work and his friendly personality made him a good volunteer. His ability to connect with guests was exceptional, creating a warm atmosphere. Though his time was short, Bradley's positive impact was significant to the hostel. Our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to him for a bright and prosperous future.

Words can't capture all the amazing things I experienced in this community, the people, the love, the emotions and gratitude for everyday being able to wake up here and walk the path, among baby goats, cows, chickens and kitties to the morning yoga/meditation and to take the same path back to my hut at the end of the day, after a cold shower under a sky full of star, expressing out loud the gratitude for another great day in paradise. I feel like you receive a lot more than you give and the work hardly feels like work, it's a great opportunity for you to grow and you are very much encouraged to do so, receiving support and healthy appreciation. I was introduced to freediving, ice baths, krav maga, writing exercices, riding a bike with 3 persons on it haha and many other things special people shared with us and for which I am deeply grateful. I had so much fun along the way and felt so much love in every instant. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Whoever gets the chance to stay here is a blessed person.

Our stay with Mike, Tricia and Olivia was great! We only stayed there for a week but they really made us feel at home. They made great efforts to show us the area and Australian culture, as well as made sure that we just had an all around great time with them. Their dogs are super cute and very friendly and we had great meals throughout our stay. Our little cottage provided us with everything our hearts could desire and overall we were very very happy.

First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude to Bec and Damian for their incredible hospitality and for allowing us to be a part of their lives for the entire three weeks! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with this very accommodating, friendly, and open-hearted family and all of their lovely animals. Almost immediately, we embraced the family and the entire atmosphere, and from day one, we felt at home. Whether it was after a wonderful dinner or during our breaks, Rebecca and Damian were always up for a chat, and caring for the animals was a real pleasure for us. We tackled our tasks around the house and garden with joy and were happy to lend a hand, whether it was taking care of animals, painting fences, or various gardening tasks. They always strive to make the work as pleasant as possible, and we never felt pressured or overwhelmed. On the contrary, through their experiences with many Workaways, they have plenty of tips and suggestions on how to make the most of your free time in this beautiful area. If you're looking for an authentic Workaway experience filled with joy and fun, this is the place to be! We already miss you and the animals so much and hopefully, we'll see you again soon!

Our visit was the highlight of our entire backpacking trip so far - inspiring and amazing place - it was life changing - so kind and hospitable and the work they do with the dogs is incredible- if you do this work away you will be very lucky ! we loved every minute thankyou so much for having us - Barney & Beth x
