Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 8

We stayed here at the Academy for two weeks, and we enjoyed the experience so much that we wished we could have stayed longer. It is a wonderful and very well-organized school that offers plenty of activities for the students. There are children aged between two and fifteen, with different levels of English, and they are all very polite, kind, and eager to learn. Every day, we had three to four classes, and depending on the children’s age and English level, we prepared games and activities to encourage them to speak English. It was our first experience teaching children, and we were a little nervous at first, but once we arrived, all the anxiety disappeared and we simply had fun. It was a truly beautiful experience, and we will miss the children at the Academy very much. The food they served was also delicious, healthy, and there was always plenty of it! We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who loves children and is open to spending time with them!

Henry feedback: - Kàta and Tom were absolutely amazing hosts, they are such lovely people and the stay was one of the best things I have ever done and been a part of. The countryside is absolutely stunning and the work is easy but very fulfilling. They are some of the nicest people out there, and were always willing to help us and accommodate what we needed and what we wanted to do. Everything they did for us was very much appreciated ❤️. I would absolutely recommend these beautiful people to anyone who ever asked. - Henry :) - Travis feedback: - Where can I start with this absolute gem of a place. Beautiful location, family, people, community, vibes, food, work. This has truly been a workaway like no other! From harvesting honey, making beef jerky, cooking strawberry dumplings and so much more! The work itself didn’t feel like work, it felt like helping out at home. And this has truly become a family for me and I couldn’t be more grateful for this experience. My friend Henry and I got a whole house to ourself pretty much. A warm bed, kitchen, and bathroom, in a completely seperate area. If you need alone time, you have it, but I promise you we didn’t need it, hanging out with these amazing people is such a delight. We got to make a pumkin patch and garden beds. We took care of chickens and baby chicks, looked after the kids, cleaned the house and gave eachother company. The kids themselves are so amazing, bright, and smart, loving there outdoors! The breakfasts, lunches, and dinners will certainly be missed! We spent a lot of time having laughs about our Australian accents and slang, it really really felt like a family :) And most importantly this workaway wasn’t just work, we got to go out with the family and explore nearby towns and history, seeing animals and buildings, eating ice creams and bakery goods. Most importantly I got introduced to poppy seeds, which might be my new found love! They go so well with everything, particularly mash potatoes (Skubánky!!!!) if you are looking for a family, insights into Czech culture, a rural/farm lifestyle, and adventures, these are your people!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Kateřina, Tom, Albert, Beata, Mr Roo, Orea Chicken, Yellow Neck, Ticks, Spiders, Baby Chicks, Fallen Chicks, and CHEEKY Skubánky!!! (For context: we stayed for nearly a month, are two teens traveling Europe! ) - Travis :) <3

I had such a wonderful and pleasant time with this free-spirited, high-energy family! They are incredibly hardworking and active, yet they always made me feel so cared for. I loved how curious and attentive they were, and I’m so grateful for their patience in explaining Canadian culture and English terms to me. Music is truly the beautiful bond that connects everyone here. They shared so many unforgettable experiences with me, from showing me around the city centre and the park waterfall, to an amazing 3-hour canoeing adventure, and a fantastic 6-hour road trip up the Bruce Peninsula with Oma! For daily tasks, there was a great variety to do, even though pulling weeds definitely kept me the busiest! 😂 As for the kids... they are absolutely wonderful. They are so bright, independent, and confident - they too helped me find my way around. Thank you for everything!

Ariane was a pleasure to host for two weeks. She is very organised, energetic, and proactive. She helped us with childcare, homeschooling, tidying and organising. She took the children on excursions, baked with them, and taught them German. With another helper, she organised a special surprise party for the kids on the day before she left. She was generous with her time and genuinely enjoyed the children's company. Ariane is living an interesting life and was an enjoyable guest. Thank you Ariane!

Pasé alrededor de dos meses aquí y fue una experiencia increíble de principio a fin. El trabajo era flexible y autogestionado, unas cinco horas al día, cinco días a la semana. Jordi siempre confió en mí para organizar mis tareas, lo que hizo que el ambiente fuera muy relajado y agradable. El alojamiento era muy cómodo y la comida excelente. Había mucha variedad, nunca faltó nada y, además, Jordi cocina muy bien, así que cada comida era un momento para disfrutar. La relación con Jordi y con los demás voluntarios fue excelente. Disfruté mucho tanto del tiempo de trabajo como de los momentos libres, compartiendo charlas, tomando algo y jugando a las cartas. Lo que más me gustó fue el ambiente acogedor y la sensación de sentirme parte del lugar desde el primer día. Tanto Jordi, como su hija Aina, los demás voluntarios, sus amigos y las personas cercanas al proyecto me hicieron sentir siempre incluido y muy bien recibido. Además, el entorno es precioso, con vistas increíbles y muchos senderos para caminar con Trampa (la perra). Muy cerca también hay varios rincones junto al río donde se puede ir a refrescarse y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Por supuesto, no puedo dejar de mencionar a las mascotas: Trampa (la perra) y Oreo y Lúa (las dos gatas), que hicieron la experiencia todavía más especial. Sin duda, recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera que busque un ambiente cálido, buena compañía y una experiencia auténtica. Muchas gracias, Jordi, por todo el tiempo que compartimos juntos. Realmente me sentí como en casa y espero que nos volvamos a ver muy pronto.

We stayed with Mr. Man twice in one month. The first time, we were with his friend Pie. We spent two weeks on a floating platform at the lake enjoying authentic, local and very wild experiences. Here we fished, cooked traditional dishes, had the opportunity to see wild elephants up close and tried Mr. Pie's signature massage. The second time, we spent 10 days with Man and his family in his jungle village. Here we learned to make tapioca cake and planted lemon grass at Man's hill. He gave us authentic experiences, even taking us to a wedding. Together with the other volunteers, we had a small farewell party, where we had the opportunity to cook pizza (Italian style) in a wood-fired oven! Man and his family are truly special people, kind and with big hearts! We hope to see you again in the future! Thank you again for everything! Anna and Pippo

Hosting Don and Viktoria was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! They are a fantastic couple who come highly recommended to any Workaway host. From the moment they arrived, they were incredibly engaging, warm, and easy to talk to. We shared some truly lovely evenings together, filled with great conversations, and I genuinely feel like we parted as friends. Fantastic Work Ethic & Helpfulness: They were incredibly helpful with our projects and always happy to pitch in with a great attitude. They tackled tasks efficiently and weren't afraid of hard work: Viktoria did an amazing job sanding floorboards, among various other tasks, each time going that extra mile. Don teamed up with Arne to figure out the logistics of adding extra support to the floor—showing great problem-solving skills. Bonus point: On top of being great workers, Don is an amazing cook! Having him in the kitchen was one of the highlight of their stay. They were respectful, enthusiastic, and a joy to have around. I cannot recommend them enough to the Workaway community. Safe travels, guys—you are welcome back anytime!

I spent only 6 days at Marie's place. During this stay, I was alone to set up poles (hard soil under a fierce sun !) for a fence and gate in order to accomodate chickens in the future. I was hosted in a beautiful room with private shower. Magnificent view on the Pic du Midi while eating outside in the garden. Plenty of outings if you like walking up and down ! Mary is a very busy person,, between caring for her 3 1/2 year old girl and her different activities, including hosting friends of her and AirB&B hosts in a separate house.

Pierre a passé 3 semaines y site. Simple, bon travailleur, enjoué, il a aidé à créer un atmosphère de travail agréable pour tous, qui aide énormément à la réalisation des projets.

The two weeks at Jayavati and Jeremy's home flew by! These two are just wonderful! They are truly special, kind people who treat nature, people, and animals with great respect and appreciation. It was a wonderful time with the perfect mix of work, socializing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery there. I loved to stay in the cabin in the garden. Surrounded by trees, bushes, and lots of flowers, you can hear the stream babbling, the birds singing, and the bumblebees buzzing :) If you enjoy the simple life in a beautiful setting, then this is the best place to be! There was everything I needed; all the essentials were there, and the food was delicious, too. (special thanks to Jeremy for the chapati and the best salad dressing ever! :) ). The dogs are lovely and I really enjoyed being surrounded by so many of them 🥰 Since it's a little out of the way, it's important to have a car so you can explore the area on your own.Thank you so much, Jayavati and Jeremy! You gave me a wonderful experience, and I really hope we'll see each other again! ❤️

Bianca é uma jovem cheia de energia boa, saudável, simpática e sorridente. Ela tem autonomia para cuidar de si mesma e responsabilidade para realizar as tarefas. Ela tem força de vontade e garra para fazer diversos tipos de serviços. Bianca é muito sociável e dispostas a ajudar, conversar e está por perto. Sempre oferece para ajudar. Ajudou muito com nossos cães e foi paciente com nossos cães. Nossa filha gostou muito dela e até foram para aula de natação. Bianca é amigável com bebês e cães. Todos nossos amigos gostaram dela. Foi uma ótima experiência ter ela conosco. Sentimos saudades quando ela partiu, mas sabemos que amar é também deixar partir, deixar que as pessoas sejam livres para explorar outros lugares. E somos felizes em saber que ela está bem.

J’ai reçu Caroline pendant 2 semaines et son aide m’a été précieuse dans l’entretien du jardin. En effet, Caroline sait prendre des initiatives, comprend vite ce qu’il y a à faire et le fait bien. De plus elle a montré un vrai plaisir à participer à la vie de la maison, à en partager toutes les activités à tous les instants sans rien demander qui sortait de l’habituel de telle sorte que sa.compagnie était toujours agréable. Une mention spéciale pour le grand intérêt qu’elle a pour les plantes surtout sauvages qui servent de base à des soupes fleuries mémorables. Reviens quand tu veux Caroline.

I spent two weeks with the sisters at the monastery in Senden (Münster) and had a truly wonderful experience. From the very beginning, all the sisters welcomed me warmly and made me feel comfortable and at home right away. The atmosphere was kind, peaceful and very welcoming. I really enjoyed helping and supporting the sisters, whether it was gardening or assisting with the many daily tasks around the house. The work was varied, and I felt that I was able to make a meaningful contribution. What I appreciated most was the warm, respectful and caring community. These two weeks were a very valuable experience for me and I will look back on them with great fondness. Thank you to all the sisters for their hospitality, kindness and all the beautiful moments we shared. I would be very happy to come back again one day!

We really enjoyed having Wouter with us for 2 weeks. He adapted very easy to our family life and routines. He has been open to learn new things and is committed to deliver good results. We enjoyed our long conversations during lunch and dinner meals (he is a 2 meter, strong, young man and eats a lot 😂). Wouter is an independent, easygoing, kind person. He combined work and cycling on the island and also enjoyed peace, reading a book. We express our best wishes for your future Wouter and thank for the time you spent with us!

From the moment I arrived, Steven and Jenny were incredibly welcoming and generous, and I immediately felt at home. Jenny cooked delicious, healthy dinners, and we shared many great conversations together. I was included whenever their family or friends came over and enjoyed some lovely evenings, sitting by the fire with guitar and singing, or watching a football game together. My work outside involved digging foundations, mixing and pouring concrete to construct new fence columns, as well as installing some wooden cladding. Steven patiently explained every task, helped with the more technical parts and was always available if I had any questions. Overall, I had an amazing couple of weeks staying with this family and I wish all the best to Steven, Jenny, Fin and Zoe!

Ray has been the most gracious host. I felt very welcomed and looked after the entire time I was there. I felt my time there was very beautifully balanced between working together towards fullfiling his dream and having moments of relaxation and fun. There was never a dull moment during my stay. Would highly recomend and would love to retunr in the future.

Amir is a generous, kind, and funny guy with many interesting stories from his life. His place is peaceful, relaxing, and surrounded by beautiful nature. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the busy world and enjoy a slower pace of life. Amir also took the time to show us around the area and share many local experiences with us. During my stay, we went hiking, visited a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, attended a wedding, went to the local morning market, sang karaoke, swam in the nearby river, and explored different parts of the area together. Every day, Amir had us try a lot of delicious fruit and fresh coconuts. Sometimes we cooked meals at home, but we often went to local restaurants which were all so good! The work was very fair and never too much. It felt less like working and more like helping take care of the property together. Things like cleaning, painting, feeding the animals, and general maintenance. I can definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in nature and a taste of local life. Thank you for having me Amir!

I Learned a lot about Japan and leadership from Sumi and Mark. The alternative learning style at the school was awesome and nearly everyday was an adventure. I really appreciated them working with me and as a result I feel I discovered my own skills specialties and joy. ichinomiya is a great place for riding bikes, hiking, surfing, and summer festivals. Sogo was also a great guide and welcoming. overall I felt many opportunities to meet locals and feel like a part of a greater community and family.

Such a spiritual retreat at Alena’s place. Beautiful house in the mountains, and I was able to reconnect with nature. Alena has so much knowledge about Kumano Kodo, chatting with her is an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend.
