Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 7

My time in Kelaa-Des-Sraghna has been wonderful. I just came back from one month of volunteering there. Wow. How amazing. The atmosphere at school is so great. Hassan and Abderrahim are great hosts, providing guidance and encouragement. We were also able to communicate our needs and discuss issues very openly when needed. Yassamine, who works at reception, is always so kind, welcoming and fun.Yacine was such a great guide and friend for us, planning walks and picnics, connecting us with students.The teachers at the school are very talented, so welcoming and dedicated. I learned a lot from them. The students I had the chance to work with (French and English classes) are very hard working and motivated. It was really interesting learning to lesson plan and tailor exercises to their needs. We were also provided lesson+exercise books and other resources and could always ask the other teachers for help. Usually, we had one class a day, from 8 to 9:30 PM, and sometimes more on Saturdays. Our days were free for us to explore Kelaa and the surroundings, go for hikes on the hills or to the souk, read a good book, meet with friends. About Kelaa-Des-Sraghna: the city is calm and has a lot to offer (even if most people from there that I met would say there's not much to do or see, in my opinion: not true) : great people, great food, great walks, beautiful sunsets. About the apartment: it's simple but quite comfy, and the rooftop is amazing : it's a beautiful and calm space, like a refuge (+ if you're lucky you'll meet the cutest, nicest cats there). I love my time in Kelaa-Des-Sraghna. It was such a blessing to learn from people about the culture, the language. It was my first time in Morocco and it couldn't have been better. I formed great friendships during this experience, with the other volunteers, teachers and students, and I would love to come back. Chokran bzaf for everything! Beslama !

Light blue skies, magic forests, mindful conversations, the sweetest animals ever and a bit of craziness. This list is way too short to sum up all I could experience during the month I stayed at the farm. Nala (the most caring, straightforward and fun host you could ask for) was surprised at first when I called the farm "home". But that's exactly how it felt: a home full of love. What makes this place special is that if you are open, kind and quiet enough you can really bond with every living creature: from the cats to the cows to the trees. The work can be hard sometimes (once we were building fences in the snow and freezing wind, and I swear swinging the hammer on the ladder to get the posts in the ground was no joke) but there is always a moment to cuddle with some hairy friend -I want to thank expecially the calf Tobias for his lovely hugs-. Moreover, you’ll always have two free days per week, which you can agree with Nala and spend as you like. I could never forget to mention the delicious food Nala prepared for us (pancakes, liverballs, potato salads...). Only the best organic ingredients: meat, milk and eggs are obviously from the farm. So, if you are looking for a place where you can have meaningful connections and build some muscles from the physical work, what are you waiting for to apply? Thank you again to Nala and all her friends, and thank you to Hans who was so nice to drive me back and forth to the S bahn station even if I don't speak a word of German and we were sitting silently in the car. ^^ Tschüss ❤️

Our stay with this great family had only bad side: it was too short. Both Lucie and Gilles were great hosts that mastered the art of always making you feel welcome at their home while setting rules and boundaries clearly, something we really liked. The most magical part of the Yellow House is definitely the garden where we worked most of our days and if you are lucky enough you might even have the chance to see the sprouts of what you planted. The kids were great and Sumik will be a great companion any time you have with him. Schedules are always respected and after a day's work you can always expect the most delicious meal and lots of free time to explore Prague. The metro is about a 10 minute walk and the area is well connected and calm. We hold this dear family in our hearts, so take care of them and be prepared to share some of your country's cuisine and culture with them.

Rayne & Sandra were my first Workaway experience and the stars aligned when I saw their post accepting Last Minute inquiries. . Connecting via the App messaging was quick and easy. We agreed to a video call to introduce ourselves, exchange information about what projects they have happening at their home and how my previous experiences could dovetail in. . They are kind, generous, energetic souls. Communication was excellent, we shared a similar sense of humour, love of nature, food, and culture, I felt as if I had known them my whole life. . I was set up in a superb Canadian Classic Boler travel trailer, which has always been a dream for me to stay in. I had access to anything I needed in the home and was included in extraordinary outings they planned. . Most of my efforts were put towards their extensive organic garden as springtime is a time of re-birth so some pruning, weeding, fertilizing, planing, adding mulch, manure, creating wood chip paths, regenerating soil in the greenhouse, assisting with building one of the few new raised beds, assisting well as a bit of landscaping touches outside of the fruit & veg garden. . I spent 2 weeks and had the full gambit of weather. On my days off I got to explore the area, take in the Saturday Duncan Market, and a highlight was attending a dinner and performance of a trio that included award winning fiddler, step dancer, and guitarist. . I miss them already, but know I will be back. I just have to see what it all looks like in full burst. . Grateful for this experience.

We had a really good time in Quelfes. Jean-Pierre and Dominique are wonderful hosts. They took great care of us and always made sure that we were doing okay. During workdays they also always provided really tasty food! The tasks were varied and after work the big garden was an amazing place to rest. The surroundings of the quinta are also incredibly beautiful and we had lots of fun exploring the Ria Formosa with the bikes we could use. We would recommend this Workaway!

If you need an animal sitter Tina is your person:) She signed up for one month of house/ animal sitting and gave our dog the best care possible! He even lost his weight from walking 4 times a day hahaha:) and was in a very upbeat state, i would even dare to say he was happier from when we left him:) Thank you Tina!!

Great,Great, Great! Anna is such a solar, funny and empathic person! It was a gift to start into the season with her Italian soul. She mastered our fences-championsship, an annual challenge at the farm. She gained muscles and a big friendship with our young cattle Tobias. Anna is very reliable, fast in learning, sees what needs to be done and living with her was like a friend moved in. She connects and respects. She makes even grumpy characters laugh. Anna brings singing and dancing sunshine along and infects you with it. She is not afraid to get full of shit or of any crazy weather-conditions. Anna was a great help in the household, very kind with the cats, an esthete in gardening (pumpkin-field), never giving up on the f***ng fences ;), always there for stable-routine and untiring in doing the embroidery on the alp-necklaces. And thank you Anna,that you were there when cat Flecki died :( We are happy to welcome her back already in July again! Otherwise the "Goodbye" would have sucked so badly. See you soon, Anna!

What an amazing workaway experience! Robert and Dee are the most incredible hosts who go above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Dee is an incredible cook and hosted the best dinner parties where we got to meet so many of their incredible friends. Their home was stunning with so much interesting history attached to it. The work was varied and always enjoyable to do. We would either be doing garden work or cleaning out the garage at their Villa or we would be in Valletta helping clean and organise their apartment. We felt so at home during our stay and Dee and Robert ensured we got to see Malta by taking us on a few trips and provided countless recommendations. It is safe to say Dee and Robert are some of the kindest and also most interesting hosts we have had and one's we can definitely call our friends. Overall we can't thank you both enough for this wonderful experience and we are sure not going to forget all the amazing times we had together :)

We had an amazing time with Eliana und Pedro. Their house is very cozy and welcoming, and Caramelo is the cutest dog in the word as well the three cats. Curiti and the hole Santader department is lovely, we had an unforgettable time! We cooked together and went on wonderful hikes. Eliana and Pedro were super eager to share their culture with us and show us Colombia through native eyes! Thank you very much Eliana and Pedro, we’ll never forget Curití!

We had the pleasure to host Jelena for about 4 weeks . Shee taught taught German and English. She was an outstanding volunteer who showed high sense of responsibility and kindness. Her classes weere always fun and fruitful. We highly recommend her! We wish her the best of luck in her life.

We had the pleasure to host Lorinda for about 4 weeks . She was responsible for teaching French and English. During her stay, She showed outstanding communication ad teaching skills. Her classes were always lively and fun. Moreover, LORINDA was cheerful and always smiling. We highly highly recommended her for future hosts. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Pia y Bau fueron un apoyo inmenso no sólo en los días que Eliana tuvo que estar trabajando por fuera, sino emocional con las crisis de salud de nuestro amado Caramelo, su sincera preocupación y acompañamiento nos hicieron esos duros días más llevaderos, si bien sólo pudimos tener una caminata fueron una muy linda compañía... Gracias por todo!

Clement volunteered in our in our center for about 3 weeks. During his stay he showed rigour and hard-work while tutoring French or as speaking partner for students learning English. He also showed interest in learning about Moroccan culture and traditions. I highly recommend him !

Jessa & Gaultier stayed with us and everything went perfectly. They work very independently, have a wide range of skills, and proactively find solutions (for example using AI) when they encounter something new. They are also flexible, reliable, and communicate clearly and pleasantly. In short: highly recommended for any host. Thank you for your help you are always welcome back!

I had a good time with the family. Daniela and Michele are nice people and an awesome team, hard workers, funny, smiley and communicative. I've been helping with the festivals which was nice to be part of but also lot of work for many hours. We could find a deal that we both were happy. I liked my experience sharing time with other volunteers and having meals all together like BBQ, ordering vietnam food... The town is tiny but has nice places to visit, river to take swim, etc. Thank you for the experience, wish you the best.

This was an excellent experience. Viola is very communicative and provides such a comfortable atmosphere for the volunteers and guests. For the month that I was at the hostel, it truly felt like a home away from home. I would love to return as a volunteer if I come back to Puerto Viejo. The accommodation for volunteers is humble but comfortable with a separate kitchen for the volunteers from the guests. The work was very reasonable and was very well organized and easy to learn. Viola was always available for questions. I could not have been happier with these arrangements.

Constanze stayed few days with my small community, which is my family. She managed to keep up very cheerful mood during her stay. She did cook a delicious meal, which reminded me my first experience with vegetarian commune in US. Constanze engaged communication with other members of community, who had lack of English language, it was very helpful. Also she shared important information from other trips she had, which encouraged me to travel too. Thanks for everything, have a great trip, Constanze👋

Elo stayed with us for 3 weeks, we would have loved to have hosted her for longer. The kids loved her and she fitted in very well, doing anything that was required of her and more. We miss her.

My time with Nabil was truly incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, my original plans for Madeira didn’t work out, so I spontaneously looked for a Workaway. He immediately offered me a spot for the next day and really enriched my time on the island. Sadly, I wasn’t very lucky with the weather, which meant most of my tasks took place indoors—cleaning, doing the dishes, etc. - but all of that was discussed beforehand. When the weather was nice, I occasionally got to walk the sweet dogs Bella & Justice and do a bit of gardening. In the summer, there will definitely be more things to do, especially with his many renovation projects—I think that will be really fun!!! Either way, my time with Nabil was truly enriching, and I grew very fond of him, the dogs, and also Pia the goat. Nabil was a very kind and warm-hearted host, and he also made it possible for me to explore more of the island. For people who love being in nature, the property and its location are an absolute highlight on top of an already wonderful experience. Thank you very much for everything! - Valerie :)

Carlos is an incredible guy proactive , always willing to work as a team. I appreciate having met you and having collaborated together.
