Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 6

Thank you Kate, Alex, Tessa and Jules for this wonderful week at your beautiful place in the Bay! The area is great for outdoor activities, such as swimming, hiking, kayaking and surfing, which was an absolute highlight. It has been a great first workaway experience extremly welcoming and caring. The food was absolutly delicious and Alex's wine was amazing! Thank you for sharing your stories, your home and the laughter.

I really enjoyed my stay at Min's school in Nakhon Sawan. I thought Min was a very accommodating host, as her and her husband made an effort to explore the area with us, showing us incredible temples, the old family home and even cooking exotic dishes for us. The scheduling can be a little disorganised but I think this is more of a product of local culture, as children were often late to classes. I had fun teaching the children, usually in small groups of one or two and lessons were adequately set up for me without having to think of lessons of the done, which has happened to me before. All in all, the classes were very manageable and some days I only worked for two hours, so I had plenty of free time to explore and do my own thing. As for Nakhon Sawan itself, it's a great place to base yourself and the accommodation is at the heart of the city. It's two minutes from a large park where every evening seemingly the whole city flocks to. The park has a large running track, ample gym equipment, free Muay Thai classes, and plenty of locals playing sports such as football, basketball, tennis, badminton. It's an easy place to make local friends as a foreigner. From a money saving point of view, this is a good option. Two free meals a day and accommodation included, while being in a cheap city with plenty of free things to do. Min was also paying for Grabs between schools when we were required to be in the other building, which kept costs low and was appreciated. Thank you Min for accommodating me and being an amazing host. It's a shame I could only spend one a week here but one day I hope to return. All the best!

I had a very good time here with Silvia, Alice and Andrea and they are the best family!! I only stayed here for 10 days, I wished I can stay longer with this lovely and welcoming family, and the work was mainly picking up Alice after school and bringing her to the extracurricular activities, also play with her!! Alice is really a sweet and warm girl. Silvia is really a nice person, she will help you with everything and we had lots chat which I really enjoyed a lot and I feel so so grateful for her during my short stay here❤️❤️❤️ I also had chance to try many Italian dishes cooked by Andrea which were super tasty, he also introduced every dish he cooked to me about the recipes, so I can have more knowledge about the Italian food, in a most authentic way. I am already missing you all!! And I will surely come back again soon❤️❤️❤️

Dani was an absolute joy to host. She is energetic, hardworking, and deeply curious about the world around her. We loved the in-depth conversations we shared about world politics, social issues, and the wider implications of food production—always exchanging viewpoints with respect, openness, and genuine curiosity. Exactly what Workaway is about. She conquered the mountain with incredible energy, completing both the summit and some serious mountain running through the high points of the Pouakai Crossing. Along the way we packed a lot in: the Festival of Lights, possum shooting, cooking together, and endless great conversations. We will miss her greatly and truly hope our paths cross again. She would be an asset to any host lucky enough to have her.

Our stay at Daniel's place was super!! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were treated with genuine respect and kindness. The large house, the very comfortable beds, stunning gardens (with beautiful pool!) are really something to behold; it feels like a 5-star resort and is utterly relaxing ! The jobs we did were incredibly varied, and never boring nor stressful. Daniel is a really interesting human with an endless variety of disciplines to talk about, as well as having a heart the size of Bolivia... to be a small part in helping him realise his vision was thoroughly rewarding! We also had the pleasure to spend Christmas and New Year with Daniel, his friends and family and they were all lovely people to meet and spend time with. Hugs🙏

Julie was a pleasure to host. She adapted to Hawaii life and easily made friends in the area. She was very respectful of house rules and kind and friendly to everyone. She was also very easy to please in terms of food – we love hosting non-picky eaters! Julie was very reliable and responsible with all the tasks given to her during her stay. Personality wise, she was almost always very cheery and social, not easily discouraged. We enjoyed hearing about her adventures with her friends during her time here. We also found her to be very thoughtful, with sweet gifts from Germany on her arrival and genuine notes of appreciation during her stay. She was very patient with my son’s numerous requests to play boardgames. She also got along well with our older girls who enjoyed cooking and making food with her. She was very open to sharing favorite recipes and made her special pasta salad for our family, a recipe we will likely make many times more! 😊 Overall, we found her to be a very genuine person with a beautiful heart and willingness to help and learn. We would highly recommend her to other hosts should she decide to pursue other workaway experiences.

Leah is a wonderful, kind and inspirational woman who welcomed us into her home and made us feel like family. We loved sitting around the kitchen table for three meals a day and watching TV together in the evenings and hearing her many great stories! The work we did was mainly cutting the hedges and some other tasks in her beautiful garden. We did 3-4 hours a day and Leah was always generous in letting us having the afternoon off to explore the local area, plus she helped us with plenty of recommendations. Leah also worked alongside us which was really nice and she was always so appreciative of our work which made it a really enjoyable experience. We highly recommend staying with Leah if you are visiting the Southland!

Hola Damián y María!! Estuvimos 2 semanas aquí y fue una experiencia increíblemente buena para nosotras. Desde el primer momento damián se mostró amable y comprensivo con respecto a la hora que llegamos (se nos hizo un poco tarde por el autobús) y desde ese momento en adelante, todo fueron comodidades. El espacio donde se encuentra la casa está todo rodeado de verde y es un lujo poder disfrutar del entorno en tus ratos libres. Tiene playa y rios cerca ademas de muchas rutas de treking por la montaña. Nosotras 3 pudimos tener un alojamiento para nosotras solas en el que estuvimos muy agusto. El trabajo era muy relajante y las 3 horas se pasaban volando!!! además de aprender muchisimo sobre bioconstrucción, nos llevamos un aprendizaje inmenso sobre su manera de vivir tan en armonía con cada cosa que le rodea. Compartimos muchas cosas, caminatas por el campo, comidas y cenas, cánticos y mucho más. Damián y María son dos personas hermosas que merece la pena conocer y de las que no nos vamos a olvidar. Ojalá nos volvamos a ver algún día. Muchos besos y a seguir el camino!!!

My career as a workaholic recorded a new memorable experience with Silvia, in whose company I felt very comfortable, I was not afraid to make mistakes when speaking English, so we talked a lot and even joked in English. Our agenda was loaded with only pleasant and interesting activities. The stunning nature around Silvia's place is like a therapy for body and soul and you don't need to travel too far to be amazed. A piece of me will be always around Spring Beach! Dear workawayers I wish you to be lucky enough to be hosted by Silvia! GRUEZI!

Marcela y Carlos son una pareja muy amable, divertidos, respetuosos y trabajadores. Ha sido muy agradable tenerlos en casa, los recomiendo a quien sea. Los espero siempre!

Olin, lo mejor de dos mundos! Nacida en Italia, criada por madre Mexicana, se desplaza por el espacio con elegancia eropea y fuerza latina! Inteligente, independiente, tenaz, poderosa. Tiene energía de superhéroe. Gracias Olin por elegir quedarte con nosotros, disfrutar del mar y cuidar de todos nosotros. Hay más mar por descubrir, ven, vamos juntas!!!

Anais, Thibaut and their son Kaol stayed at our place for around 3 weeks in november and did a super great job! They are hard workers and nice to stay around. Thanks to them we already have our wood ready for next winter 😀

Sumyee is friendly, polite, and kind. The time we spent together flew by, and we will miss her so much. She immediately formed a special bond with my daughter. She's the workawayer everyone would love to have.

Joao – das schwierigste für mich war es, seinen Namen auszusprechen! Nahezu zeitgleich mit einem Berufskollegen kam er an und da fanden sich sofort freundliche Verbindungen. Wie so manchmal in einer workaway Vierer-Gruppe gab es hier angenehme und auch weniger angenehme Zeitgenossen, und einer der eher unangenehmen teilte das Zimmer mit ihm. Immer wieder habe ich den Langmut und die Geduld bewundert, mit der Joao die endlosen Sprechtiraden seines Zimmernachbarn ertrug, bei denen ich innerlich bereits explodiert war. Genauso einfühlsam und geduldig erlernte er den Umgang mit unseren Tieren – immer freundlich und unagressiv gegenüber Pferden, Hunden und sogar mit meiner gänzlich unsozialen Katze. Bewundernswert auch sein sehr verständliches Deutsch, mit dem er sich die meiste Zeit verständigte. Pünktlich und zuverlässig übernahm er die für ihn ungewohnten Arbeiten in Stall, Haus und Garten und fügte sich problemlos in den Tageslauf ein. Man sah es ihm nicht gleich an: Schubkarren voll Pferdeäpfel Tag für Tag auch bei extremer Kälte auf den Misthaufen zu schieben schien ihm tatsächlich auch Vergnügen zu bereiten! Joao war eine große Hilfe und eine tolle Bereicherung für unseren Hof und ich wünsche ihm alles Gute für die Zukunft!

Thank you so much, Zohra, for the amazing time and your generosity. I really enjoyed helping out and had a great experience. Zohra is a very generous and open-hearted person. The work–life balance is perfect, and she is very easy and pleasant to work with. Most of my tasks were helping around the hostel, which was nice and varied. For me, it was a bit sad that I don’t speak French, so we couldn’t communicate fluently. However, even with this language barrier, she showed me a lot of her beautiful personality. I’m very grateful for this experience.

Jeffrey was a really good helper on our farm. Although he had no experience with animal care he learned everything very quickly and was eager to remember all the details. (We have many different species here and everybody needs something else at different time. ) He had a lot of patience and tolerance to all these demands and never complained! In addition to this he swas a very pleasant person to be with and had a great sence of humor . I also enjoyed the talks about the world and everything else. I found out too late that he is also a very good cook because he was to humble to offer this skill. It was very supportive to have him here and I wish him a lot of good experience with the next workaway places.

We had such a wonderful three weeks at Danny and Amy’s place in Zipolite. We were welcomed into both the project and the community on the beach which was really special - we spent both Christmas and new years surrounded by beautiful people, friends of Danny and Amy who greeted us with open arms. We stayed in the big tent with another volunteer and it was so beautiful waking up to the sounds of insects and the wild chickens in the trees !!! Our schedule followed the sun, starting work early and going to bed when the sun went down. During our time we felt like we were a real part of the build, making the walls for the bathroom using different mud techniques, fixing the stairs, clearing parts of the land and doing some gardening, having our hands in the soil - we enjoyed cooking as part of our work and eating after a long morning was always the best part of the day;) the work was physical but rewarding and it was lovely getting three days off at the end of the week. Danny and Amy are amazing people with amazing stories and we are so grateful for our time we spent with them - we stayed longer than we planned and we hope to visit them again one day 💜💜 hugs !!!

My experience with this Workaway project was truly exciting. Living and working on a boat in the heart of Berlin is something unique, a special setting that makes the whole experience even more intense and inspiring. The project is well organized and makes you feel part of something from the very beginning. The community is extremely welcoming, open, and international: from day one I felt comfortable, supported, and involved. There is a wonderful spirit of collaboration and sharing, which makes the work enjoyable and the days feel light. Beyond the practical side, this is an experience that is very enriching on a human level, thanks to the people you meet and the constant cultural exchange. I would absolutely recommend this project to anyone looking for something different, authentic, and immersed in one of Europe’s most fascinating cities. A Workaway I would gladly do again and highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience with this family and truly felt at home during my time with them! From the beginning, they welcomed me as part of their family and included me in so many special moments, from camping trips and hiking adventures to festivals and everyday life. Being able to experience Italy in this way was incredibly meaningful and beautiful. The children were truly amazing and such a joy to get to know and spend time with. They were fun, curious, and kind, which made everyday enjoyable. We spent a lot of time playing games together, and UNO quickly became one of our favorites. I also loved teaching them American games I grew up playing! The family is very generous and thoughtful! They provided me with an e-bike to use throughout the summer, which gave me a lot of independence and made it easy to explore the area. I had lots of time to travel on the weekends, which I really appreciated and made my experience even more special.

Salut Peter, Je voulais encore vous remercier pour cette super expérience. Le groupe était vraiment génial, une très bonne ambiance, et c’est avec regret que j’ai dû écourter mon séjour. Vous me manquez déjà !🥹 J’espère vous revoir très vite🫶❤️ Prenez soin de vous et encore merci pour tout. À très bientôt Jérôme .
