Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 12

It has been a real delight having this lovely mother-and-daughter duo at home with us. Simone has a really nice energy about her, she's super easy-going and flexible but at the same time really efficient when asked to get things done. She’s really able to manage her time easily between being present for her gorgeous daughter and accomplishing whatever is asked of her around the house and garden. I totally trust her to be with my daughter, who is older now and doesn’t need much but I can see she has a way with smaller children and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave a smaller child with her. Simone is a very trustworthy person with whom you can speak about anything and she will tell you honestly if she can manage any task you may request of her. She’s also very quiet around the house and can adapt well to changing plans with a calm attitude always. It’s been a really easy co-living situation. Her daughter is so cute as well - I could not communicate much with her due to language barriers but we warmed to each other a lot. She’s able to play quietly by herself for quite long periods. I would highly recommend them as workaways!

Lucas & Talea are two wonderful people who we got to know well during their stay at our place. They have a hart of gold and we really enjoyed to have them amongst us for a couple of weeks. From the start it already felt very natural and we had lot of good moments, wines and conversations together. And we had the most delicious pizza's during the pizza night they organised for us. Also, they we're super cool with our young daughter, which we really loved to see! They helped us with lots of things, like making a new balcony fence, a dinner table and improving the swim spot. We would describe both as kind, considerate people that are happy to help where needed. And also bring a long some nice woodworking skills! You should check out their van ;) We wish them an amazing journey and hope to see them again some day!

We were so lucky to find Alex at a time when we needed urgent help to look after our two elderly dogs and cat so we could go to Canada for a funeral. He was the perfect match, caring, calm and very considerate. We were reassured to have a mature person here with so much experience of his own pets as well as looking after others. This was particularly important because our lovely dog Barney was not well and sadly died whilst we were away. Alex handled the situation with sensitivity and we will always be grateful to him. We were very happy that Alex wanted to stay on for a few weeks after to help us out and he enjoyed the English way of life. We will always be grateful for your hard work Alex and hope to see you again.

Simply put, my shop wouldn't have survived its opening season without Gabi. In work he is knowledgeable, creative, and responsible, and as a person he is adventurous, respectful, and charming. I'm grateful to have had him on the team, and I'm sure he'd excel anywhere.

Jemima and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, they always made sure I felt comfortable and at home. I truly enjoyed spending time with the family, helping with the dogs, and being part of their daily life. The work was fair, the communication was clear, and I always felt appreciated. I will definitely miss the dogs and all the wonderful moments we shared. Thank you for making my stay such a warm and memorable experience. I hope to visit again one day.

Fredi's youthful exuberance kept all the staff in high spirits- work doesn't feel like work with him around. He was missed terribly by everyone the second he left. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.

Our time with Inga, Floh, Philea and Linea was absolutely incredible. The weeks went by much faster than we expected. From the start, they made us feel welcome and were always kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed many nice conversations and often ate together (and Floh is a really good cook!). During our stay, we helped out with various things around the house and spent time with their two lovely and very energetic daughters. Our room was comfortable, with a large desk and reliable WiFi, which works well for digital nomads. Traben-Trarbach is a beautiful little town on the Mosel, and there are plenty of nice hikes nearby. It's also a good place to stay if you want to explore the Mosel region or take trips to Luxembourg and the surrounding villages. We had enough free time to do our own thing, and Inga and Floh were always happy to give advice and recommendations, especially when it came to getting around by train and public transport. It was hard to say goodbye when it was time to leave. We're leaving with lots of good memories and are really grateful for the experience. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to visit again someday. We can't recommend enough!

Chloe and Maya were a great addition to our team. They executed everything that was asked of them without complaint. They would be a great addition to anyone looking to host them! We wish them well on all their life's adventures!

We spent two and a half months here and fell in love with the place from the first day. Salvo is a very generous person, both with his knowledge and with the beautiful space he has built over the years, he always made us feel at home. We’ve learned so much about permaculture doing different tasks almost every day, apart from shoveling :)) We shared delicious and abundant meals prepared with ingredients from the garden and ate A LOT of blood oranges, this is something we truly appreciated. The work done there was organized and we are grateful that we have seen a season passing by, it felt like the time was flying. We spent some time with Sasha, went to the beach with Nuri and every day we were amazed by the beautiful view of Etna. The generosity and abundance that can be found here is not something you find everywhere. It's crazy that we can't really think something bad about this place besides the fact that Salvo will forget us soon, to make sure that this doesn't happen we will come back ;) We will take you in our hearts, see you again soon <3

Ytsen were a very pleasant guest. Very calm and thoughtful. Extremely focused on all the many small and large handyman projects, which he carried out with great care and attention to detail. It also made me very happy to see that you always found time to give my animals some attention. Luna and Ronja truly appreciated and enjoyed your love and affection. Zatzi certainly did, and even shy little Krümmel decided to make friends with you on the very last evening. Your calm nature and your polite, respectful manner were greatly appreciated by all of us. Thank you very much for the time we shared together.

C'est un plaisir d'avoir reçu Zoé et Mikaia, elles étaient enthousiaste pour toutes les tâches. On toujours fait de leur mieux pour correctement accomplir ce que nous demandions. Ça été un échange harmonieux, fluide, avec pleins de belles conversations et rire. Nous avions deux amis à la maison et c'est un avec plaisir que nous les reverrons encore ! <3

It's difficult to write a review for someone who stopped feeling like a volunteer a long time ago! What was meant to be a shorter stay turned into a much longer one, and our team couldn't have been happier about it. He quickly found his place within our organization and became someone we trusted across different projects, teams and plans (fully embracing multitasking reality of humanitarian work). Life in a small grassroots organization is rarely straightforward. There are always multiple things happening at once, and everyone needs to be ready to contribute wherever needed. He embraced that reality from the start, bringing professionalism, organization, initiative and a willingness to help wherever he could add value. Over time, he became a genuine ambassador for our work and values. Not because anyone asked him to, but because he cared about the mission and the community around him. More importantly, he reminded us that meaningful impact is found in the relationships built, the trust earned and the positive energy left behind. We know this is not the end of our journey together, and we look forward to seeing what comes next. We only hope that we became a home away from home during his time here! Asante sana, rafiki yetu. Karibu kwenye familia yetu ndogo, utakaribishwa kila wakati. Thank you for the growth, joy and respect you brought to our family! - From our whole community and team

Abi is delightful- clever, adventurous, and highly dependable. I'm glad that she joined us for a season, and I think anyone would be lucky to have her on their team.

Thanks Anna for helping us and learning new skills, including weeding, harvesting lavender and preparing lavender for making hydrosols. We are sorry you had to return unexpectedly to the UK and wish you all the best for future Workaways.

I had a great time with Leena and Simo. I learned so many new things, such as knitting, woodworking, the Finnish language, and Finnish dishes. I also really enjoyed outdoor activities like biking, hiking, and walking. During my stay, they took me to many beautiful places and taught me so much about Finland. It was a wonderful cultural exchange, and I had a fulfilling week. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home!

Hinari is very fun, open, social, so cute, nice person . We can give only positive adjectives of her. She took all our suggestions very open and was interested in in all things. We shared so much cultural things with her. We hope that she is now even more interested in Finland, that she will come some other time also to our beautiful country. She has good skills to make delicious meals.She has practical skills. She was like perfect match for us !!! We were like a little family together .

I spent 2 weeks at Mathilde and her husband’s Mike home and it was fantastic. I loved her enthusiasm for life, her energy, our conversations and I’m so grateful that almost everyday when she and her husband were at home (there were 4 days I was pet sitting) she tried to show me something around their area. We went shopping, hiking, having a coffee, and to beautiful natural spots that I fell totally in love with. Their home is amazing and the job was easy (I painted the railings) and enjoyable, the atmosphere relaxed and I had plenty of time to just explore or just be. I loved everything about this experience. Thank you for your hospitality and I’m happy I got to know both of you.

We had great time with Stefi and Luna now in May. She is very kind, open and flexible person so it makes is very easy to live and work with. Big bouns - if you are nice to her you might be lucky to taste her amazing tiramisu!

This was truly a life-changing experience for me. Living within the local community here gave me so much to appreciate. People from the organization will help you throughout all the VISA and pick you up at arrival. And they are so so kind. Once in the house, you will leave with volunteers and a Mama who will prepare lunch and dinner for you. The people in the community are super kind, if you stay long enough and are open you will be in love with them. You can help with social media, teaching mamas entrepeneruship or anything you are really good at, some craftmans work and much more. It is really impacting many families here in Arusha. I wish to go back to the schools again :)

Milena is was a pleasure, a joy, to have living with us in the house. She deserves extra stars. Milena is skilled, experienced and willing to give everything a go. She is a physically able, strong , and an intelligent worker, who completed anything she did to a high standard. Just wonderful. In practical terms: weeding the driveway, shelling heaps of nuts, raking cut grass, pushing mulch or firewood in a wheelbarrow up the hill ... Thank you Mila - come back anytime!! Kakite!
