Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 6

Wonderful Lais. Great person, very good vibes with her!

I had a great experience. While I was there they had recenetly lost electricity, so no running water or fans. But despite this, I had a really great time. I went in with the goal of developing my Spanish and I definitely had the opportunity. Jair is an extremely interesting person who makes the experience. He’s very accommodating and can offer so much to learn from. If you’re looking for an unique and different way to be in Colombia this is a great option.

I stayed with Kim, Pete and Kim’s Mum for just under 3 weeks. I had the most incredible time; they have such a wonderful home and all of their animals are so friendly and well taken care of! They really made me feel welcome in their home and part of their family. I learnt so much about training young horses from Kim and about Spanish riding from Kim’s trainer Mira. They were very kind and happy to give me lifts to and from the station when needed! I spent lots of time beside the pool in my time off and also visited Sax, Alicante and Valencia during my stay. Kim cooked us some lovely meals and Peter shared lots of magic tricks with us. I had such an enjoyable time staying with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much Kim and Pete :)

I don’t even know how should I rate these guys, because five stars is not enough!!! I would need at least ten to be accurate! Having them at home was such an amazing thing. These two are so unique and special, that it is hard to describe it by words. Every minute spent with them was worth it. They weren’t just amazing workers, great companions for our kids and us, but also real gentlemen, who were always ready to help where needed without even asking. They didn't have any problems with any task given. They accomplished everything precisely. The great mood they had spread around them was so contagious, that after a couple days everything in our home was full of joy and fun. They were so enthusiastic about everything new, which has motivated us to show them always more from our culture or cuisine. We spent amazing afternoons going for ice cream or for little trips, or during the free days also for bigger trips. They were always happy to see something new and always very grateful. They both were so good at playing with our kids. Our daughter was totally in love with Henry, still sitting on her lap while having lunch or dinner and our son enjoyed a lot playing football with both of them. These guys are absolutely extraordinary in the way they behave and think. I mean there are not so many 18-years old guys who are reliable, punctual, hard-working, smart, funny, sporty and simply awesome! They have given me a new hope for the future generation (gen Z 😊). And Travis's vlogs are the best! We are more than happy to have shared these amazing three weeks with them. The signs they have made for us will always remind us on them. I will always keep these memories with them in my mind and for me they are a new part of our family. Thank you, Trav and Henry, for EVERYTHING! Much appreciated! We had a blast!! 😊 P.S.: Mr. Roo, Oreo, škubánky and us will always await you guys!

Matheus stayed with us for two weeks and was a great help throughout his stay. He supported us with a wide variety of tasks, including concrete work, woodworking, cleaning, weeding, and general household duties. He completed every task to a high standard and always showed a positive and proactive attitude. Matheus was willing to learn, took responsibility for his work, and often looked for ways to help without needing to be asked. Beyond his work, he was friendly, easy to get along with, and a pleasure to have around. We shared many good conversations and had a lot of fun together during his stay. We highly recommend Matheus to other hosts. He is hardworking, reliable, proactive, and brings great energy wherever he goes.

We had the pleasure of hosting Nataliia as part of our family, and we can wholeheartedly recommend her. From the very beginning, she was kind, respectful, reliable, and brought such a positive energy into our home. She adapted quickly to our daily life, helped wherever needed, and always showed great responsibility and enthusiasm. We also especially appreciated her experience and skills in gardening. It was a real pleasure to share experiences, conversations, and everyday moments with her. She is open-minded, caring, and a wonderful person to have around. We truly appreciated her help and the great atmosphere she created during her stay. We would happily welcome her back anytime and wish her all the best for her future travels. Any host would be lucky to have her!

Roman fue de buena ayuda para nosotros ,adaptandose al horario que manejamos con los voluntarios actualmente y ayudandonos en todas las actividades con la recepcion. La comuniccion fue buena y la informacion clara . esperamos verle ne un futuro

Josefin was a pleasure to have around, bubbly and positive. We had great chats and she was so lovely with all the animals. It was a shame that we had experienced a major flood before she arrived, and the rain still hadn't stopped (very unusual for our area) so we couldn't have as much fun as we would have liked but regardless it was a very pleasant exchange. I recommend her to other hosts.

We had a great time with Roma. He was very polite, very helpful, and enthusiastic for everything. Roma is a calm person and he is able to communicate clearly and positive. He was great with our dogs We don’t forget him We recommend him very much

I have been doing Workaway for seven years, and this has been one of my best experiences. Jean-Louis and Valérie are very kind, open, and generous people, and they are very welcoming to Workawayers. We had a great time together, and we shared life experiences and good conversations during my stay with them. They used to take short trips for appointments or business, and that allowed me to explore the neighboring localities: Lautrec, Albi, Castres... and meet their friends and neighbors. We worked mainly in the garden: mowing, pruning the wisterias, weeding... We also uncovered and prepared the swimming pool for the summer. The house is ancient, very well kept, with an inner courtyard and a big garden. The Workawayer has a very nice room with her own bathroom. There are peaceful walking paths... and the best boîte à livres I have ever found in France. To me, as someone who loves cinema, the best part was getting to know and learning from Jean-Louis's experiences. He has had a very interesting working life, and he likes to share it with people who are interested. I could watch his films and documentaries, and he told me about the writing, the shooting, the anecdotes, the contingencies... He is working on a clip for an organization for the defense of battered women, and I accompanied him to the shoots. I had the opportunity to spend time with these great people and get to know about their struggle to defend and empower them. The same with the clips for a political movement. Jean-Louis showed me how the editing of the images is done, the programs he use, how to coordinate image and sound, and the tricks to get the best work. Fascinating Jean-Louis and Valérie, thank you for the great time we had together and for everything you shared with me. A la prochaine, bien sûr.

Capucine and Thibault stayed with me for about three weeks. They are a lovely couple: hardworking, responsible and trustworthy. Also, very good gardeners and great with animals. They are both at university and have other skills (engineering and teaching). I feel fortunate that they stayed here. They were also very respectful and independent, happy to work/be on their own which was great as I was very busy. And also good company when we managed to do things together. Thank you!

We had a fab time with Kelly here! She's super welcoming and made us feel part of her whole gang of friends right from the off, cooked us some banging food (including loads of local king fish which is amazing!) and made us more tea than you could want for. We also joined in with the yoga that was on most days, and had lots of flexibility around work hours, and the actual tasks to get done, which made for an awesome few weeks on Little Corn!

Well, Giovanna e Adrian are a special and unique family. They are kind, so welcoming, funny, open to help you and suggest you places to see. They Always made me feel comfortable. The son and daughter are lovely as well and It was a real pleasure spending time with them. The house is very cool, sourrounded by nature, but close to the bus station to Murcia. I really recommend them 💘

Ute war 11 Tage bei uns und wir haben in dieser Zeit viel geschafft! Sowohl im Garten als auch im Haus. Ute kann anpacken und hat vor Arbeit keine Angst. Am liebsten arbeitet sie draußen, aber sie ist sich auch nicht zu schade für routinemäßige Hausarbeiten. Wir haben uns gut verstanden, obwohl wir nicht immer einer Meinung waren. Ich denke gerne an die Zeit mit ihr zurück.

Oh wonderful Alexa! We already miss you so! It was truly lovely to have your company around the farm. You came ready to work and did a fine job, even under the hot Tuscan sun, with repetitive tasks and manual labour. It was such a short visit but we shared many laughs, good conversation, and got a lot done too! We appreciated your adaptability, independence, and clear communication. It felt like we just instantly found a groove and a good flow. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you in the future alla Capanna.

Gigi and Driss were among the most senior volunteers we've hosted and certainly among the most hardworking. During their stay, they helped prepare growing beds, plant ginger and leafy greens, clear weeds across the farm, make pathways, paint the chairs and tables for café and assist with seasonal maintenance as we prepared for the monsoon. Gigi has a real talent for organisation and transforming messy spaces into clean, functional ones. And Driss is someone you can trust with any hands-on task. What we appreciated most about both Gigi and Driss was their reliability. Once shown how to do something, they took ownership and completed the work without needing constant supervision. They worked especially well as a team, motivating each other and consistently giving their best. Driss also contributed to our mural, bringing fresh colour and creativity to the space with his artistic skills. Beyond their work, they were wonderful people to interact with. Their love for hiking and the outdoors fit perfectly with life on the farm, and we thoroughly enjoyed hosting them. We're grateful for everything they contributed and wish them all the best for the journey ahead.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review. We truly appreciate the time, energy, and dedication you gave during your stay. Animal shelter work can be physically and emotionally demanding, and it means a lot that you were willing to go above and beyond to help the dogs. We are especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the trust, responsibility, and freedom you were given, and that you learned a lot during your time with us. Thank you also for your constructive feedback regarding the accommodation. As a shelter that focuses most of its resources on the animals, maintaining volunteer facilities can sometimes be challenging, but comments like yours help us identify areas where we can improve. We continuously work to make the experience better for future volunteers. Teresa and the entire team care deeply about both the animals and the people who come to help them. We are glad you enjoyed the moments you were able to share with her despite her busy schedule. Thank you again for being part of our shelter family. We are grateful for everything you did for the dogs, and we hope the memories you made here will stay with you for a long time. You will always be welcome back. With gratitude,

Thank you so much, Erika, for your kind words and for spending your summer volunteering with us. It means a lot to hear that you had such a positive experience. Teresa dedicates her heart and soul to the dogs every day, and feedback like yours reminds us why this work is so important. We are also happy to hear that our staff made you feel welcome and supported during your time here. Most of all, we’re glad that the dogs made such a lasting impression on you—they truly are the heart of everything we do. Thank you for your help, care, and dedication. You will always be part of the family, and we hope to see you again someday. With gratitude,

Allana was a great contributor to everything she did. She was very respectful and it was great having met her during her stay. Delightful and humorous personality
