Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 67

We really loved our time in Vaiano with this beautiful family. They are very welcoming and curious about us, and we felt there was a good connection and cultural exchange. Our work consisted of giving water and food to the animal and cleaning their habitats in the morning. 2 beautiful, curious geese, and 17 chickens. We came in the end of the vegetables season, so there was not a lot left in the garden, but the family provided us with good base ingredients. We did still have to buy ingredients, so keep this in mind if you are traveling on a budget:) Annamaria always has good tips on where to go for walks, museums, swims in the river and so on:) We spent our free time walking around, enjoying the garden, and going into the cute city of Prato! Enjoy your time in Vaiano!

Great host for persistent and empathetic people. The more you help and care, the more you are welcomed with amazing experiences — from Michelin-star restaurants to a wide range of attractions.That’s how I see the two months I spent living with Nicole.This was my first time abroad on my own. At 19, moving to a foreign country felt like a huge challenge.But I was genuinely surprised by the incredible hospitality I received.The work was always balanced fairly with the attractions she shared with me. I was never forced to do more than I was expected to; I always felt free and respected. Nicole speaks excellent English so it gave me the chance to improve my English every single day in a natural way. Since I don’t speak French, I would have struggled to truly experience the culture on my own.But Nicole was my hero. She always gave me the most important information about cities, museums (especially when the explanations were only in French or German), and local traditions. Thanks to her, I could understand the nuances hidden in this culture. Visiting Bartholdi Museum in Colmar and Schweizer Muzeum in Kaysersberg, experiencing beautiful concerts in the church at Rouffach, eating at many different restaurants — from traditional inns to Michelin-starred ones were the attractions that I was provided with.Thank you again, Nicole. I hope this review will inspire many others to come !

Looking for someone to help us with fysical jobs, in Becca we've found a much more delicate soul, who helped us to address a much more delicate topic. She spoke up when she felt some tension. Which gave us the change to embrace ourselves and the situation. Next thing she managed to find the jobs and tasks which gave us some very well appriciated time to relax and/ or spend more quality time together with the family. She's always welcome for another stay.

My experience at Dominique's (and Tiffen's) home was wonderful! It was my first Workaway experience, and I never expected to have such a great time! Tregunc is a gorgeous place; I loved the beach, the ocean, and the sunsets...Dominique and Tiffen welcomed me so kindly and always made me feel at ease! They were very patient with me, even when I didn't understand French very well...It was so relaxing taking care of the garden, painting the windows, and feeding the friendly goats! I loved Brittany so much!! I hope to stay in touch with Dominique and Tiffen and maybe see them again...in Italy !!😊

The experience was higher than any expectation. The place is magical and the family is so welcoming. Juan and Luna are young parents with a big vision. They have 2 adorable kids, 3 cute cats, plenty of chickens that run towards you every morning. The work is mostly in the garden but also helping around the house is appreciated. The most beautiful sunsets😍

Elodie es una chica muy amable y muy buena cocinera preparó tortas ricas, ella es muy colaboradora y alegre,nos ayudó tanto en la chacra como en la casa

Staying with Friederike and her family for a week and a half was the perfect way to begin our time traveling in Norway. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and cared for. We were given a project to work on during our stay, and we were trusted to figure out our own methods and work schedule that worked best for us, but Friederike was always available when we had questions or needed help finding tools or materials. Even though the property is in a pretty remote location, she not only picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, but she always invited us to accompany her and her family on trips into town and on other adventures. We could not recommend this Workaway enough, and we hope to be back someday! <3

Felicia war uns eine große Hilfe und wir haben eine sehr gute Woche mit ihr verbracht! Sie hatte sofort einen guten Kontakt zu den Kindern, die sie liebten. Felicia ist unabhängig und voller Eigeninitiative. Sie ist sehr geduldig mit Kindern, kreativ und hat auch ohne Aufforderung Hausarbeiten übernommen. Wir können sie nur wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank, Feli, für diese tolle Woche. Anja hat schon gefragt, wann du wiederkommst!

These last few months since leaving this place have only made me love my time there more and more. Petra and Adrian are wonderful hosts. They are lovely people who genuinely cared about my wellbeing and introduced me to a way of life that was very different to what I was used to! I miss them both, especially the lovely breakfasts we'd have with delicious sourdough bread and jams of every flavour I could think of. The work was fantastic. At times it was difficult but I felt great doing it and I would love nothing more than to return one day and do it all over again! I loved the animals, all of the dogs and the horses and especially Sookie, who is probably the friendliest cat I have ever met in my life. I miss how she would curl up on my stomach and nap while I took my afternoon break. I can't recommend going to this place enough. Adrian and Petra will make you feel like part of their family, you will fall in love with Sweden if you aren't already, and leaving the animals will probably break your heart a bit but the memories are so worth it. I treasure the memories I have there and I only wish I had spent more time there. maybe next time I will!

I had a wonderful experience staying here, location was incredible! Accommodation was lovely right on the sea! So peaceful and such amazing peaceful nature vibes. The work was easy, just had to help clean beach clean and with some basic garden stuff. But she said it can vary. Host was lovely and helpful and the dogs are too cute! I loves my time here, thank you!

Molto cara, molto dolce spero di rivederla complimenti per i disegni fatti sei un' artista!!!!!

Ria is such a lovely, powerful and interesting woman! It was such an awesome, interesting and very enriching experience on the farm. We both learnt a lot and will definitely not forget the experience in Boufekrane! Thanks for everything you showed and explained to us!

I stayed for a week. The people are nice, welcoming and active. They work together and guide you through the work. I like the spirit and the energy. The house has a warm atmosphere and a lot of things were self made.

Mathilde una ragazza veramente in gamba, divertente e spiritosa. Ha aiutato in maniera eccellente collaborando con tutti . Torna quando vuoi

I had a warm and open relationship with this couple during their stay. We could talk about most things, and the atmosphere was generally relaxed and friendly. They seemed happy to be in peaceful surroundings, and the boy took responsibility for communication, as the girl didn’t speak English — something that became clear after arrival. On the practical side, the effort was mixed. The boy took the lead and followed instructions well, while the girl needed more tailored tasks and was harder to understand. I found they had very little hands-on experience, and some basic routines — like feeding the chickens — were not followed despite clear explanations. I had to repeat instructions several times, and it required adjustments on my part to make things manageable. They took excellent care of a kitten that arrived during their stay, and I’m truly grateful for that. We also solved some practical issues together, like switching to a fixed food budget so they could shop independently. This made things easier to manage, more predictable, and fair. They arrived without work clothes or shoes, which made it clear that we should have talked more in advance about the nature of the tasks. I take some responsibility for that and will aim to be clearer in future arrangements. Matching expectations and responsibilities early on is key to making this kind of setup work well. Their departure was emotional and heartfelt — they initiated a warm goodbye, which meant a lot to me. I wish them all the best on their journey ahead and in life together.

I worked and lived with Paolo for 1 week. I did mainly gardening, Paolo explained to me the reasons why I was doing things which was nice. We ate together 3 times per day and it was DELICIOUS, I even learned to make pasta the Italian way, and he talked to me about the spanish culture and history. The only negative point is that I found the work a bit repetitive. I had the time to go on hikes everyday so that was good :) In global I recommend!

We got on very well with Marion right from the start. She is a friendly, uncomplicated, calm and motivated person. Marion helped us build a concrete floor and a brick wall, she cut branches and helped Alice with her maths with great patience. We are happy to have met her and look forward to welcoming her back!

Asia y Joel son dos personas increíbles! Divertidos, trabajadores y grandes compañeros. Durante su tiempo en el hotel, como bien dijeron, no habían muchos huéspedes y ellos, con su mejor sonrisa, estaban dispuestos a ayudar en tareas de limpieza y mantenimiento del hotel. Y cuando sí los había, se notaba que tenían conocimiento en atención al cliente, siendo super eficientes trabajadores. Nos encantó compartir momentos con ustedes sobre todo , clases de yoga juntos, charlas, cervezas y risas. Les deseamos lo mejor en su aventura, con su energía imparable y buena predisposición ante cualquier inconveniente que ocurra en el camino. Les agradecemos de corazón por haber compartido con nosotros y por siempre dar lo mejor de ustedes. Los queremos y esperamos volver a cruzarlos !

We had a wonderful time with Suus, she helped a lot with the dogs, especially training them. Whats also visible on her own Dog , Maya. What an wonderful 4pawed Lady. Maya is an well behaving, very social sweetie. She had so much Fun with my Pack. My Mum loved the walks with Suus in the morning. i loved it, that i could skip cooking sometimes. Suus was always giving an helping Hand when needed and worked realy hard. We are very sorry that she could not stay longer, but hopefully Suus will return one day.

My experience volunteering for Frauke was very positive. I felt so welcomed and supported from the moment I arrived. Though my time was short, I experienced personal growth that I likely would’ve felt more resistant to in most other spaces. Frauke has such positive energy and is so generous with her wisdom. I loved learning new skills and getting to know and love her animals as well. I hope to volunteer for her again some day! I highly recommend volunteering here, especially if you are seeking personal growth and creating a joyful life :)
