Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 7

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

What was supposed to be just my first Workaway ended up being one of the most incredible experiences of my life, these two months in Santo Domingo flew by and leaving is much harder than I expected. I met an unbelievable number of amazing people from all over the world, made friendships I'll never forget, and created memories that will stay with me forever. On top of that, I had the chance to discover the Dominican Republic, a beautiful country full of energy, warmth, and wonderful people. A huge thank you to Chris for always being supportive, clear, and helpful from day one. I also really enjoyed all the sports, conversations, and good times we shared together. A special thanks to Alessandro and Franco, who shared this whole adventure with me from beginning to end, you guys made these two months even more special. Thanks as well to Claudia, Thibaud, and Lucy for all the laughs and great moments along the way. Of course, thank you to Alba, Diana, and Fiquere for your kindness and for always making everyone feel welcome and at home. Last but definitely not least, a big hug to Hamilton! I couldn't recommend this experience more, if you're thinking about doing a Workaway, just do it. For me it was so much more than volunteering, it was an unforgettable adventure full of incredible people, personal growth, and memories I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you all for making these two months so special, I already miss this place and I'll surely come back soon!

We had a short stay at the farm of Jorunn and Geir and enjoyed every minute of it. We felt very welcome and loved the chats during the meals. For us, it was part of a bigger trip and this was an excellent way to meet Norwegians and understand more of the history and culture. The meals were great, the work was good, physical farm work (expect some animal shit, of course!) and the hours were more than fair. Thank you, dear Jorunn and Geir, for the lovely couple days!

Anne Sophie est une personne très sympathique, joviale, ouverte et fiable. Elle est travailleuse. Dès le premier jour, elle a eu envie de se mettre à la tâche, d’apprendre et de faire. Elle a participé à bien des travaux, aidé dans le jardin pour nettoyer, planter, sarcler, débroussailler, semer, couper des ronces, etc… Elle est pratique, anticipe et voit le travail. Son envie de bien faire, sa bonne volonté, sa bonne humeur sont vraiment des atouts. Il fait bon travailler avec elle. Elle a participé aux différentes tâches de la maison très naturellement. C’est une bonne personne. Elle est de bonne volonté. Elle aime parler, échanger et apprécie les repas. Elle est très fière d’être du Manitoba du Canada. Nous regrettons qu’elle ne soit restée qu’une seule semaine. Merci Anne Sophie.

Very nice experience, super friendly , polite , open, flexible and structured. I got to know big part of their family and share lunch and coffee and chats with all of them. Nice , warm , understanding and good cooks! Lovely stayng a month! Hope to see them again! Highly reccomend!

My time in BC was an experience I'll never forget. At first, it was honestly pretty scary. Being somewhere new, away from what was familiar, took some adjusting. But once I settled in and found my routine, it became a place that felt peaceful and comforting. One of the things I'll miss the most is sleeping with my buddy Buster. He brought so much comfort and companionship, and I'll always cherish those moments. I'll also miss all of the other dogs and their crazy personalities that made every day interesting and entertaining. The animals became such a big part of my experience. I loved the pigs dearly and grew very attached to them. (Don’t if you’re going near august) . I'll miss spending time with the horses, chickens and silly ducks as well. Being surrounded by animals every day brought a sense of peace that is hard to describe. The work itself was calm and enjoyable. It felt meaningful without being overwhelming, and I appreciated the slower pace and peaceful environment. You could also pick up tasks that need to be done , just look around be creative. More importantly, Shannon genuinely cared. She made sure we had what we needed and looked out for us. Like any two people spending a lot of time together, we butted heads here and there, but there was never anything we couldn't work through. We always found a way to communicate and move forward. And when Jeff was home from work he would chefff it up, making delicious meals effortlessly. I’ll miss his chicken wings! Looking back, BC became much more than just a place I stayed. It became a place filled with memories, lessons, friendships, and people and animals that I'll carry with me for a long time. While I'm grateful for what's ahead, I'll always miss the peace, the animals, Buster, Shannon and Jeff, my German friends, and the time I spent there. Look forward to going back ! Miss you all ♥️🥹

I was lucky enough to stay in Paal for 6 weeks with Angelika and the sweetest dog Pete, and I couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative for my time there. The nerves I felt travelling alone and with using Workaway for the first time quickly went away when I met Angelika. I’ve never felt so welcome and accepted in a foreign place; she embraced my presence and treated me like family. I never once felt homesick during the duration of my stay because she made me feel completely at home. I have learned so much, not only through daily routines, but also through our conversations, shared meals, and the opportunity to experience life in such a beautiful and peaceful place. Angelika’s kindness, generosity and warm spirit made this an experience that I will always cherish. I couldn’t recommend staying with her more highly, and I hope our paths cross again in the future!

My stay was amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome and at home. Litsa is such a kind, passionate, funny and caring person — a truly inspiring human being to get to know. ❤️ Her dedication to animals is deeply admirable and genuinely contagious. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned so much about caring for cats during my time there. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. I will always be grateful for everything I learned and for the warm welcome I received.

Tania es una persona muy inteligente, con mucho sentido común y con un bagaje cultural y social impresionante. Hemos compartido una semana pero que han parecido varios meses ya que ha sido una conexión muy bonita y agradable. Nos ha encantado compartir planes con ella, ha sabido apreciar muy bien el ritmo de nuestra familia y ha conectado muy bien con nuestras peques. Sin duda, una hermosa nueva amistad. ¡Gracias!

Eric is a very interesting and communicative person. Once the right conditions and tools were there, he did a good job. We wish him All the best.

It was a real pleasure to host Elena on the farm for these five days. She’s great fun to have around. full of good energy and laughter, and she fit right into the rhythm of life on the farm from day one. She was also wonderful with the animals, gentle and attentive, which means a lot to us here. On top of that, she was organized and responsible throughout, taking initiative without needing to be asked twice. the kind of volunteer that makes hosting genuinely easy. Five days felt short, and we truly hope to see her back here soon. Highly recommended to any host. Gracias por todo! 🖤

Lovely guy very helpful and respectful

J’ai passé un séjour incroyable avec Myriam et Charles à leur chalet dans les montagnes. Ils sont les deux si gentils. Le partage de repas toujours délicieux, fait maison et frais du jardin, passé en bonne compagnie de conversations intéressantes et de leurs esprits ouverts. Les voisins sont aussi souvent passés pour partager des repas et dire bonjour. Je me suis toujours sentie la bienvenue et à l’aise. Pour ce qui est du travail, j’ai aidé dans le jardin à planter et désherber, couper l’herbe et des plantes dans la cour... et plusieurs autres petits projets. J'ai appris beaucoup au sujet du jardinage bio qui était super aussi! Du travail bien varié et toujours sous une direction claire, encourageante et flexible. Pour ce qui est de l’après-midi et des soirées, il y a beaucoup de temps pour relaxer, mais aussi il y a plusieurs randonnées et villages à explorer aux alentours! Je recommanderais à 100% cet endroit! Un gros merci de m’avoir accueilli à bras ouverts et de me partager vos connaissances et votre culture Suisse! :)

Thank you so much to David and Fien! I had a grate time with them during the 3 weeks I spent in Netherlands. The house, the the room and the garden/forest are really nice, I felt very comfortable in their place. The work was allways good and I could learn and practice lot's of new things! Also the food was good and allways enaugh. Highly recomended if you're looking to spend some time in a relaxed enviroment where you can feel comfortable and do nice jobs outdoors. They are also very interesting people and have lot of experiences to share, so that's a plus if you appreciate a good conversation :)

Raul and Mario are both lovely people. And so are all their friends. They have created a wonderful home. I felt super relaxed and welcomed. I was mainly helping with cleaning and painting a mural for the bedroom ✨ all the cats and dogs are gentle and sweet. Thanks again for everything 🙂
