Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 9

The Foundation ran my Emma and Sabine is an inspiring project in the heart of Mfuwe, South Luangwa. I had an amazing time working with their team of Zambians on carpentry and garden projects, learnt loads, gained so much insight about local life and also got to experience the amazing national park. Highly recommend.

I found it hard to find the words to describe this experience that encompasses everything that happened in barely 2 months! This was my first workaway experience, and everyone staying here made it feel very welcoming. On the first day, I was full at nerves for doing something originally so out of my comfort zone, but both Noah and Patty make you feel at home, along with getting to experience it all with the other workawayers. I feel as though I was able to learn so much about the animals (and get to know their unique personalities), activism, and even myself. I will miss the valley, the people, and of course the animals. I’m looking forward to all the updates on social media! Thank you to everyone that made the stay so special, you are doing awesome things here and the hard work does not go unnoticed <3

I had the most amazing time. The Pagna and his family were so welcoming and I was so sad to have to leave them after my two week stay was up. I loved teaching at the school. The students were all excited to learn and so respectful of the school. The work Pagna and his family do is truly amazing and I feel so lucky I got to be a part of it. I would highly recommend visiting this school and supporting it in any way you can.

Wonderful couple!! They took care of our property and precious animals ! They are just fabulous !

Alex went above and beyond my expectations, in her hours worked and in her duties. She was punctual, reliable and trustworthy. Alex genuinely cared about the well-being of our horses and the participants. We truly enjoyed your stay with us, and we're very appreciative of the care you gave all the four-leggeds! We look forward to seeing you back again, if all goes well :)

I had a wonderful time staying with Diane and Ethan. Diane is incredibly caring, and I really appreciated the many meaningful conversations we shared. Ethan is a respectful, fun, and kind kid, and I loved spending time with him. We shared lots of fun moments together, and from the very beginning I felt welcomed as part of the family. Thank you for opening your home to me and for making this experience so special. I will always look back on my time with you with a smile.

Ikuko was an excellent Workawayer—detail-oriented, highly knowledgeable, and a genuinely pleasant spirit to have around. She tackled tasks with care and precision, bringing great ideas and positive energy to the property. Highly recommended! Would happily host again.

I stayed with Janice and David for three weeks together with a friend I had previously met through Workaway. During our stay, we helped with a variety of tasks around the property. This included weeding, helping David cut down a tree and clear away the branches, caring for the alpacas, maintaining the blackberry bushes and using the leaf blower to keep the paths and driveway clear. Walking around with the leaf blower sometimes felt a bit like being in Ghostbusters, which definitely made the job more entertaining. My favourite task was spending time with the dogs and helping with their daily care. Over the three weeks, I learned a lot about farm life, animal care, and working outdoors. Janice and David were always patient, and willing to explain tasks when needed. Since English is not my first language, I especially appreciated their patience and understanding whenever I needed something repeated or clarified. We also enjoyed helping Janice with the daily cooking. It was a nice part of the day. David was also kind enough to take us on a few outings during our stay, which we really appreciated and which allowed us to explore more of the area. I enjoyed the variety work, spending time with the animals, and experiencing everyday life on the property. The three weeks went by very quickly, and I am grateful for everything I learned during my stay. Thank you, Janice and David, for the experience. - Isabel

Alina and Lawrence were fantastic hosts. Their home was comfortable and spacious. We worked with Lawrence in the mornings doing DIY and gardening projects. He was very easy going and lovely to work with. Alina is an amazing person who never stops working and helping others. She is a fantastic cook and a lovely person. We enjoyed our stay with them very much. A wonderful experience.

As my first and only work away experience, my experience here challenged me in new way and broadened me to new horizons. First of all, everybody involved has a heart of gold. Neil Young could have looked no further. I arrived in the hottest season of the year (mid spring) and during one of the hardest farm challenges (milpa weeding). The Mexicans wear long sleeves and long pants to guard from the sun. As someone who considers myself in good physical shape, I was surprised at how unprepared I am for high noon farm work. The hosts and guests all emphasized that I should not overexert myself, but that was not in my nature or training. I did not expect to start crying after saying goodbye to everybody, but I did. The views on the plain are magnificent. I chose this place for the photos and they are very much typical every day. In my innocent ways I wasn't used to the fireworks and guard dogs, but I now understand these are ubiquitous in Mexico. The population of Tonantzintlan is working class (compared a visiting American) and, as I understand it, outgoing kindness is a luxury. Most people are courteous but busy with their goals.

I had amazing times staying at Stanko’s place. From the day one, I was like at home, the way he treated me felt l am part of the family. He was so kind showing me different places in Montenegro, that crazy mountain road and his favorite burek spot too:)) Plus, he is genuinely funny and so energetic person, he is also really good at playing frisbee !! :)) Another great thing is that furry members of the family. The most adorable ones; Astra and Sophie!!! I already miss them alot, they are super friendly, be ready for Astra and her stone fetching obsession 😂 she loves playing with rocks and she is great hiking buddy by the way. Sophie is the most cuddly cat ever!! Also, Thank you so much Eliana for making my stay even more valuable, I enjoyed every conversations, our cooking sessions, and all the other moments we have had. Can't wait to visit my family in Montenegro again, hoping to see you very very soon someday🧡🧡

Franco, Patricia and Nur are the most beautiful family and I’m so grateful to them for welcoming me. They were so patient with my lack of Spanish and so eager to get me involved with the family. They have created with the most inspiring education project and you can see how much time, effort and passion they have put into creating a space for children to learn, play and discover. If you are interested in education and looking for alternative ways of education this is a perfect example of how to foster a space for children to grow and learn. The children are wonderful and it was a joy working with them. I learnt so much, not only about education but also Peruvian culture and how to create community. All the parents were also so welcoming and kind and you can tell they really care for each other and their community. Cannot recommend enough, I will always hold this place in my heart.

It was such a delight to host Sandra. She was incredibly helpful and an absolute dynamo, throwing herself into every task with enthusiasm and energy. During her stay she helped with painting, sanding, gardening, clearing weeds and brambles, and a variety of other projects around the property. What I particularly appreciated was that she needed very little direction, she simply got stuck in, worked independently, and did an incredible job. Sandra has a wonderfully calm and kind nature, and she is great fun to be around. We shared some lovely experiences together, including visits to local markets, paddleboarding, swimming, practising yoga each morning, and preparing healthy meals and drinks. It was also a real pleasure to show her around La Manche, and I really enjoyed our Beach time. Sandra was delightful company throughout her stay, positive, thoughtful, hardworking, and always willing to help. I would highly recommend her to any future host and very much hope our paths will cross again soon. She is welcome back anytime.

Vielen Dank für alles! Thank you so much for everything!

It was great getting to know Jana. She has a wonderful sense of humour. We had lots of laughter and great conversations around the supper table. She is a good worker and we got a lot of things done while she was here. She did a lot of weeding and grass trimming, helped with feeding the animals, and helped clean up branches after a tree was cut down. She completed her jobs efficiently and to a high standard. Jana was always ready to help make supper and clean up after. It was a joy to have her here and wish her all the best in her future plans.

It was a pleasure to have Isabel stay with us. She was shy at first but as she became more confident speaking English her self-confidence also increased. She was great with our animals and enjoyed spending time with them. She did a lot of weeding, helped out with the dogs, and helped clean up branches after a tree was cut down. Isabel is a hard worker and we never heard her complain. She completed her jobs efficiently and always to a high standard. Isabel was always ready to help make supper and clean up after. It was a joy to have her here and we wish her all the best in her future plans.

This was my first Workaway-Host and it couldnt have been better. I really enjoyed that you have to work some hours in the morning and some in the evening so that you can structure your day mostly by yourself. Even on the days you work there is plenty of time in the middle of the day to experience something. Squamishs‘ Downtown is really enjoyable (multiple doughnut stores!) and especially the outdoor surrondings give plenty of possibilities to have adventures. Its easy to spend 5 weeks here without a car. Especially because of the rides/ adventures you experience with John. He takes you places and it really is a local showing you around. Thats what I thought WA is about and they do it perfectly! Considering the work schedule everything was always planned and Sarah was always there if you had a question. Its really nice how John and Sarah help you not just with questions about the work but also daily questions you sometimes face as a traveller. Big thumps up I would 10/10 recommend. I hope to get there some time back in the future ^^ It stayed here from end of April to beginning of June (I even saw 3 bears around the city).

Kaisai was an excellent workawayer. He was friendly, polite and exceptionally hard working. He did a variety of outdoor tasks on our property and showed great strength, skill and stamina. He was very friendly towards everyone he met and got on well with our children. He even made us some delicious Japanese food. I would recommend him to other hosts without hesitation.

I had a very enjoyable, relaxed time at this WorkAway and would recommend the experience for anyone seeking a chilled communal time with fellow travellers in Thailand! Suha and Millie's farm is such a beautiful place away from the hustle and bustle of the cities where you can relax and experience nature. It's also close enough to civilisation that there are still many things to do such as visit markets, cafes and temples. I was happy that I could try out rock climbing for the first time as well! It was daunting at first, but I really appreciated the opportunity to try something new! Yoga every morning was a fantastic way to start the day. There are cute cats and a lovely dog too :) It was really nice to cook fresh communal meals with the other volunteers. After one week we became good pals! Suha made some delicious bean burgers on my last night, too. The lodgings are rustic and charming, in-keeping with the landscape. I had a room to myself which was nice. If you are afraid of bugs or insects, this might not be the place for you! You get used to them after a few days. I was there in May and June so it was hot and rainy, but cooler than the city for sure. The farm isn't open all year round and it's best to message not too far in advance if you want to come (around 1 month). There wasn't much work to do, which meant there was lots of free time to relax, socialise or go rock climbing - fantastic! The work we did do was very easy and simple. We harvested and cut bamboo and used it to make some signs. We also did some weeding around the farm. As the farm is not yet fully self-sufficient, food contribution is 350 baht a day, which is very reasonable. Overall I would definitely recommend this experience and look back on my week here fondly! Thank you Suha and Millie :) Enjoy the antelopes!

Pasamos 15 días en Zaragoza con José Luis, a sido el mejor lugar que hemos visitado como workaway, todos en la casa nos hicieron sentir como parte de la familia, tuvimos la oportunidad de acompañarlos a conciertos, conocer gente y lugares interesantes. El trabajo consistía principalmente en jardinería y disfrutamos de la temporada de nísperos y cerezas. Tambien tuvimos la compañia de Eric, francés pero con alma de mexicano, muy buena onda. A ratos nos acompañaban alguno de los gatos de la casa, que siempre estan atentos a cualquier muestra de cariño. Disfrutamos mucho de la comida de José Luis y Yolanda, y hacer sobremesa platicando de la vida. Sin duda regresariamos
