Vom Workawayer (Paul & Julien) für Host
I spent 2 incredible months with Anita and Andreas. My group and I initially came for school purposes, and honestly it was the best summer of our lives.
The work we did was difficult, but very interesting. We gardened a lot (seeding, harvesting, protecting plants form bugs, weeding, watering), helped Christian (the neighbor) to rebuild his house,

During the time I spent in Germany, I met a lot of new people from other countries. Discovering their culture was incredible. I had the possibility to visit some cities like Potsdam or Leipzig (and a ton of other). Most of them were so beautiful and different from what we can see in France.
I really enjoyed the time I spent with you, and I hope I can see you again in the future !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I had a great experience staying with Anita & Andreas. They're a lovely and accommodating couple that are always willing to help out.

Tommy was with us for 2 weeks and we had a great time with him. He was a great help to us and we thank him very much. He was very conscientious and responsible in everything he did. We can only agree with the previous speakers. Every host can consider himself lucky to have such helpers. We wish Tommy all the best for the future. Best wishes from

Almost 4 weeks at Anita and Andreas’ garden flew by very quickly. Me and my sister Marija got the best cultural exchange, starting off strong with German and finishing with French, Spanish and English. We weren’t alone, during the stay we spent time with 6 more workawyers!

We all had a clear routine every single day. Feeding the chickens, cleaning, weeding, planting, berry-picking, helping out in the kitchen were our every-day. But we also had free time on the weekends to go to the lake or nearby cities like Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. Andreas and Anita drove us around the area as well, showing us some cool spots and sightseeing. During the stay, we also hosted a party and made BBQ. That was fun!
Never would I have ever guessed I would find love through Workaway, but I truly did and I couldn’t be happier about it. Thank You, Andreas and Anita, for welcoming me and Marija to your home and opening the doors to a wonderful experience at your place. We are grateful to have known you and we will visit you sometime again!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jackson)
Jackson war ein sehr angenehmer, gewissenhafter und umsichtiger Helfer. Verantwortungsvoll kümmerte er sich um die Tiere und wurde im Laufe der Zeit auch immer selbständiger.

Jackson was a very pleasant, conscientious and thoughtful helper. He looked after the animals responsibly and became more and more independent over time. He was interested in our life in the country, but also in many things about our everyday lives. The conversations with him were very enriching; we learned so many things about the country and people of the USA. We thank you again for your active support.

I'm very glad I stayed with Anita and Andreas. Having grown up in urban areas, it was great to experience life in rural east Germany. Anita and Andreas were gracious hosts and skilled farmers. They were always patient when I didn't understand something and taught (my first language is English, not German). Additionally, the area of southern

Tuna and Arda stayed with us for 6 weeks. They actively helped us with all the important work, even if they had no experience at all at the beginning and a lot was new to them.

Hi,
Me and my brother are 19. We have been there for six weeks ( June 5th to July 18 ). We experienced many things which we didn't tried before. We have been into festivals two times with Andreas.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Benedikt)
Benedikt kam (leider nur) für eine Woche auf unseren Hof. Wir haben nicht so oft einen so netten, freundlichen, offenen und wißbegierigen Helfer wie ihn gehabt. Es hat uns sehr viel Freude bereitet, mit ihm zu arbeiten und unser Wissen und unsere Alltagserfahrungen mit ihm zu teilen. Dann ist es auch selbstverständlich, dass man kleine

Benedikt came to our farm for a week. We have not often had such a nice, friendly, open and inquisitive helper as him. We really enjoyed working with him and sharing our knowledge and everyday experiences with him. Then it goes without saying that you do small favors and look past other things. ;-)) Thank you very much for your help. All the best and you are always welcome. Best wishes from all of us.
Vom Workawayer (Benedikt) für Host
I stayed with Anita and Andreas for one week during autumn and am glad that I could learn so many new things with them.
I helped with the apple harvesting and learned how to use this device to even get down apples from the very top of the trees. Also I learned how to conserve vegetables and how to lay turf. Finally, we improvised a protection for

We had many varied meals together and I am happy that they didn't throw me out because I ate three times as slow and two times as much as them :D. With Andreas, I even had a short sightseeing tour in a close city.
Andreas and Anita are very easygoing, open and funny people. When I was working with Andreas, we talked all the time about anything and I was very impressed by his general knowledge. With the two of them, I really felt like part of the family immediately. This also includes that I could ask openly for favors and they didn't hesitate to grant them when they could.
All in all, I can only recommend a stay with Andreas and Anita! :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Boris)
Unfortunately Boris was only with us for a week. But in this one week he has done more than noticeably as an absolute "city person". He helped us a lot in the garden with the harvest and with the processing of our large quantities of vegetables, a lot of hands are simply required here. He was also very inquisitive and questioned many things that

We wish you all the best and stay healthy.
Vom Workawayer (Boris) für Host
I spent only a week in Anita & Andrea's place, but it was a very good and intense experience !
I helped working in their big garden as well as helping to make some food ("Stolle" !!). You'll definitely have different kind of tasks to do and the days will shortly pass ! The food there was really delicious and abondant, that's a good reward for hard
… read more work :) However, please keep in mind that the family eats a lot of meat, so that wouldn't be convenient for vegetarians ;)
Anita & Andreas were really kind, open-minded and always willing to help...or to have fun ! And it was an opportunity to practise my little German and also French with Anita, who is a teacher.
So, viele Danke für diese gut Erfahrung in Schönewalde und Liebe Grüsse :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Eric)
The time with Eric was very enriching for us. Hats off to his courage to want to live and study here for a while with very little knowledge of German. But he is very ambitious, always asked us how something is expressed, why this word and not that word, etc. So we have absolute respect for his ambition and strong will with which he would like to
… read more learn the German language.
He was always there when it came to helping and lending a hand. No matter whether it was digging up the garden or cleaning Brussels sprouts.
Thank you so much for your help with us. We hope to see you again soon. all, all the best for you.
Vom Workawayer (Eric) für Host
I'll admit, I was very intimidated in the beginning at Andreas and Anita's place. The goal was to help me learn German, as I had just been taking A1 classes. I probably should've taken German longer before this experiment, but regardless, it was very culturally rewarding. Thankfully, Andreas speaks conversational English, so when push came to
… read more shove, we could converse in English (and even had some great car rides discussing politics, films, etc.).
Their property is absolutely gorgeous. Be prepared to truly work at least 5 hours during the day, but know that they're very flexible when so long as you let them know what you need to do (for instance I was taking German courses online for 90 minutes in the morning).
The work was wide and varied. Letting the chickens out in the morning, a big variety of garden work (weeding, shoveling, moving hay, watering, etc.), painting, helping to move furniture, and weatherproofing a ceiling just to list some. Definitely bring clothes and hopefully sturdy shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
Generally, both lunch and dinner are had with Andreas and Anita, and usually you'll help prepare some form of it (often cooking what you've harvested from the garden).
Andreas is truly passionate and a teacher of his passions. Don't be shy about asking about farming, the various types of plants, or any kind of work you're doing. He's lived at least 10 lives and is a wealth of information. I once mentioned pesto pizza being a favorite food on a whim (which he'd never heard of), and two hours later we were baking pesto and spicy sausage pizzas, using basil found from the garden.
If you're looking to truly get an experience living in the German countryside, and really do work (with a perma-culture focus) where you see the fruits of your labor, I absolutely recommend staying with Andreas and Anita.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Je regrette juste de n'avoir pu faire de jardinage, ce qui était l'une de mes motivations principales, mais le mois de février ne s'y prêtait pas vraiment!
J'ai donc beaucoup nettoyé la Gasthaus, fait la vaisselle etc...mais je ne me suis pas du tout ennuyée!
Je recommande finalement au futur workers d'aller dans cette famille à la belle saison...et surtout attention si vous ne mangez pas de Würste/êtes végétariens ou allergiques au lactose la famille mange beaucoup de Würste ou de viande...mais la cuisine est excellente et copieuse.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
