Vom Host für Workawayer (Jules)
Jules is an amazing young man! He took on anything I told him and made it his routine for all of his stay at my place in Portugal. He really made sure to please me in any way and find out how I wanted things to be done. He diligently cleaned out brush and branches of my big property and had a good time doing it. Each day he changed after work to

He leaves everything clean and we also had a great time together in the evenings playing backgammon where his competitive side came out (we also played Padel one time) though he otherwise is very calm and gentle. We laughed a lot and I miss him already.

It was a real pleasure to go here. The work is great, the vegetables are very good and Jan is really friendly and funny !
It's also a very good place with a lot of things to visit around the house
Vom Workawayer (Eli) für Host
i recently stayed with Jan at his home in portugal - Jan is a kind and generous host and the work was enjoyable and not too difficult. would definitely recommend!
I had a great time staying at Jan's incredible place in Portugal.
Really the pictures of the house and the surroundings doesn't do it justice, you have to go and see for yourself :)
Jan is a calm and intelligent guy, we had a lot of fun joking around and spending time together, going on roadtrips to nearby towns, parks and cafes, morning walks
… read more and runs on the beach, cooking dinner, sitting on the kitchen floor and watching the dough rise through in the oven, he also brought me with him to play padel, which was a first time for me.
(And i showed him how its done, right Jan?)
I was doing very simple tasks helping him out with whatever he needed and he was always there, working with me and helping.
After finishing the work the rest of the day was free to fill with whatever we wanted, especially watching movies in the evenings, enjoying music, playing board games.
It didn't feel like i was a workaway, but more like a friend who's come over for a short while to give a helping hand and spend a good time together.
Thanks Jan! Good luck with your projects and enjoy the process :D
P.S. he bakes great sourdough bread, the best is only with butter ;)
Ernest´s stay was short but sweet. He was very attentive and supportive in any way. We were cleaning the house including all the big windows and he did an excellent job! He is generous, balanced and fun to be around, giving me space, when I needed it and baring with my weaknesses.
I would have liked to spend more time with him because we also had
… read more some good conversations and we were sharing an interest in good music. He is a good allrounder for any project I would say, because he is very interested in almost any kind of work. Definitely a trustworthy and kind person and very mature for his age. I would invite him back any time!Feedback

Vom Host für Workawayer (Milan)
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Milan! He is not very complicated but easily satisfied and very open minded and interested in various subjects as music and movies so that we had a good base for conversations. He never took anything personal even when I was tense with him at times. He let himself be guided and corrected if necessary (not much
… read more needed actually.) He wasn’t complaining no matter what tasks were given to him. He has a peaceful character and is pleasant to be around, taking care of himself, playing the guitar in his free time, always ready for some adventure.
Vom Workawayer (Milan) für Host
Being with Jan was a really good first workaway experience for me. the place is really wonderful, the house is big and beautiful, and he has a really good (amazing !) soundsystem since he loves music. yeah don't be surprised to hear him whistling a little all the time and everywhere :p The surrounding area is beautiful too and there's a bike you
… read more can borrow for some great rides.
Jan is really a kind person. i would say that at the begining you can feel that he's a bit reserved but in reality he's very attentive and makes sure you feel comfortable in his home. He also has a great sense of humour, maybe a german one, and loves good things in life. Good music (he's an expert), good films. In short, it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and say hello to see how he's doing! The work and conditions are also quite clearly defined and not too complicated. Knowing that he always looks after your well-being. In short, if you want a nice retirement and to help a man while sharing nice moments with him, don't hesitate!
Vom Workawayer (Jamie) für Host
I spent just two weeks with Jan and his aunt but I had a lovely time in their company! Jan is very hospitable and I immediately felt very welcome and comfortable in their home. The area is beautiful, vast woodlands and open prairies stretch endlessly and if you love nature you will never be disappointed. Jan was very generous, both with taking me
… read more out to eat or for example buying me gloves when I needed a pair, but more importantly was generous with his time. We engaged in a variety of fun activities together over the two weeks, such as backgammon, badminton, watching movies, singing and playing the guitar, but also taking the electric bikes and exploring hilltops and cities in the area. The work was also interesting, mostly outside trying to help in the garden but also incredibly rewarding work in clearing out and organising the barn. Jan also helped me out a lot in bike repairs and made most of the work fun. He's also a great cook and we made great meals together, he also baked delicious bread and Apfelstrudel! I thoroughly enjoyed my time and thank you Jan for having me!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Jamie)
Jamie was our first volunteer for our house and garden project here. There couldn't have been a better fit!
Although young, he's extraordinarily well-mannered and pleasant to be around. Because of his kindness and gentleness, we could focus on having fellowship with each other and work became just a part of it. He performed every given task with
… read more skill and a cheerful attitude. There were some unpleasant projects, like cleaning out the barn and moving a heavy stove to the first floor, which I would never even have started without his positive influence. At some point, the options were eating ice-cream or getting the stove up the stairs: he chose the latter!
We would have liked him to extend his time with us but sadly, he had to leave. I fairly enjoyed our hikes and bike rides together, the cooking and baking, singing, badminton, tennis and backgammon. But foremost, our conversations about different aspects of life. He seemed genuinely interested and asked very thoughtful questions. I hope to have gained a friend and would like to see him again some day!
Thank you, Jamie. All the best for you!
Vom Host für Workawayer (CaminodelNio)
Spending a month together with René and Zorro was one of the best things ever happening to me! I wasn't so much in the mood to have guests when he contacted me but I gave it a try anyways: good for me! He was very easy to get along with from the start giving me enough space to feel comfortable, supporting any of my needs. He has a good sense of
… read more humor and we could share a lot of thoughts. He respected all the rules of the house which is kind of complicated. We were taking walks, sometimes just me and Zorro, because René wanted to get the work done he had started.... even went swimming in the ocean which was risky at the time but I felt secure since he is very experienced life guard. As I said he was very active in the garden, a responsible and self motivated worker, enduring through long and physical demanding tasks. I would give him six stars if possible for his outstanding behavior! I actually miss him and this is not something I would write about anybody... sometimes I get irritated with people after a short while.... but not so with him... everything was on a volunteer base and we had lots of joy! So I hope that our paths would cross again one day to continue our friendship. Don't hesitate to let him in if he knocks at your door...

I spent almost 1 month with Jan at his wonderful place in Sao Marthino do porto. He opened his space for me and my dog Zorro, in a way that I felt very home from the beginning. I couldn't imagine to be in a better environment than with him and to help him taking care of the property. We had such a good time where we have supported eachother so
… read more that I felt missing the feeling of time completely. We were listening always very good music and spent also beside the work a lot of quality time together. He has a good heart and is always trying to give you everything what you need to feel comfortable. The Balance between giving and receiving we could manage very well where I could feel, we both have enjoyed eachothers company very much. It was nice to experience that there are still nice people to meet who taking care of their health and opening their heart like you do know eachother since a longer time already.
I can fully recommend him as a host and a good friend. It was an amazing time which we had together, a period of my life which I wouldn't like to miss in my life. Let's see what life will bring us next, let's go with the flow.... thanks a lot again for everything: )
Take care !

Vom Host für Workawayer (Massimiliano)
Massimiliano was my first real Workawayer, so he had to bare with me a lot. We both needed to learn how to communicate our different expectations towards one another.
So what I learned is that it’s better to set a clear standard right in the beginning instead of let things go their way and complain afterwards. Also it’s better to work alongside a

Massimiliano is good to be around and has generally a positive attitude towards life despite circumstances might not be always easy. He worked hard without complaining, is a good chef and conversation partner. He cooked a lovely good bye lasagna for us and we were sad to see him go, hopefully into a bright future!
Ciao Bello!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Frank)
What a lovely experience it was to meet Frank! You can read in his review about the time we spent together how we both enjoyed it. We had a good connection from the very start with meaningful conversations. He is very intelligent, respectful and responsible. Always willing to support and motivated for activities. The whole time we didn’t have any

I can recommend Frank because he is very clean and organised but before all he is a kind friend and he left me and my place in a better condition than before. I hope to see him again!

I met Jan in Sao Matinho do Porto for a Meetup drink. We had a nice walk and a really good vibe.
He offered me to stay at his place which is a beautiful finca surrounded be pure nature.
I skipped my previous plans and spontaneously spend five days with Jan which I totally enjoyed. We had nice walks along the beach, met very nice friends, got
… read more groceries and cooked for each other and enjoyed peaceful and calm nights with chimney fire and board games or a movie.
Jan is very experienced about nutrition, cooking and especially baking bread - one of his passion is the tasty sourdough bread - and also about agriculture. He is also open to share his knowledge and experience which I found very interesting.
I am very thankful for his invitation and to have met a new friend.Help out on our family farm near forests and lakes close to Hamburg, Germany
