Vom Workawayer (Moritz & Luisa) für Host
The time with Arend and Jannette was absolutely great. We stayed 4 weeks on the little farm and had wonderful days in Co. Mayo. Both are very kind, funny, open-minded, welcoming and supportive. While we were there we learned many new things about their style of living, farming, self sufficiency and more.
During the weeks we did a lot of strimming,
… read more fencing, tractor driving, painting, work with the fantastic animals, field preparing (cutting and manure), cleaning the sheds and work in the polytunnel. It was always physically work but very satisfying and fun to do it. We never had to do work that would have made us feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. They'll always make sure, that you are "okay" with the working tasks.
We worked most of the time with Arend on the farm. He is a great teacher, has a very good sense of humour, is a brain in history and supports you in every task - like he often said "there is no problem, there is always an opportunity".
Jannette has a acupuncture clinic and a big knowledge how the body works. She is a fantastic cook and always very courteous. Both live mostly self sufficient (using their own meat, vegetables and goatmilk (absolutely delicious!!!)) and are for us like a role model in this context.
The two german shepards Floyed and the puppy Roxi are fantastic and lovely! Bethany (she helps on the farm) is a very funny and lovely woman, it was very nice to meet her!
The mobile home was very comfortable, clean and has everything what you would need!!
All in all we are very very thankful about this time and can highly recommend this host. Thank you very much and maybe see you again.
Best wishes

I couldn't have hoped for better for my three weeks of work/travel. Arend and Jannette were very attentive to my needs. They were very cooperative with my English language learning. Working with Arend was very entertaining because he has a great sense of humor, but also very enriching because we had wonderful deeper discussions. I totally

Sorry for my late feedback, but the last weeks I was very busy with other hosts.
The stay at Arend and Janett's farm was so nice. Arend taught me many things about farming. Janett showed me some impressions in dog training, as well as in Chinese healing art. In general the work on the farm was not too hard, after the stay on the farm you will

Both of them helped me really well to improve my English, through good deep conversations.
Last but not least I have to mention that Janett is a gifted cook, the dinners were super tasty.
