Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 9

Es maravillosa. Se siente en cada parte el amor que pusieron Ellen y Nico para que sea un lugar lleno de vida y abundancia. Hay tareas diferentes para todos y nunca uno se aburre por hacer la misma cosa cada día (pintura,bio construcción, weeding, cuidar la huerta, manejo de plátano…). Me quede 4 meses allá y me enamore de todo : la naturaleza, los bichos de la casa, los animales salvajes que viven en el jardín con nosotros y se dejan observar, y por supuesto con Ellen y Nico, unas personas muy buenas, profundas y inspiradoras con quien aprendí mucho y que por seguro volveré a ver. Gracias para toda esa energía, charlas y risas que compartimos ❤️

Adam is a great guy and the perfect host if it’s your first workaway experience. He was funny, patient and exceedingly accommodating to all of my needs. Be sure to go in with an open mind and you will come out with an unforgettable experience - he will teach you an abundance of new skills all while cooking some great food, telling hilarious stories and immersing you in an authentic Polish experience. I simply couldn’t recommend it higher!

Shira is the best! She visited my farm for a week during the autumn and helped me with various tasks, including planting trees, debarking logs, cleaning walnuts etc. She was very eager to help and seemed to have a lot of fun spending time outdoors and exploring.

Questa è stata la mia prima esperienza di workaway e sono rimasta molto contenta! Ho passato con loro un mese e mi sono sentita come a casa. Seppur fosse un momento molto delicato per loro con la nascita del bebé, mi sono sempre sentita accolta e ascoltata. Eleanor è una bambina molto vivace, con cui sicuramente non ci si annoia! Insieme abbiamo fatto molte attività creative e all'aria aperta. I momenti liberi poi non sono mancati ed è stato meraviglioso poter trascorrerli in mezzo alla natura o a Parigi, che è molto comoda da raggiungere. Un grazie speciale va a Sofia, che apre la sua casa con molta disponibilità e fiducia. A presto!

I volunteered at Kadsala Village for two weeks, and it was a truly rewarding experience. During my stay, I supported the team with video creation and produced nearly 450 short clips that can be used for marketing and promotional purposes. I also assisted in teaching English alongside other volunteers and helped resolve technical issues related to PayPal, TripAdvisor, and other online platforms. Pantila and Mae Nai are wonderful, kind-hearted people who made us feel very welcome. They often took us to local markets, taught us how to cook traditional Thai food, and even showed us a nearby wood-carving village. I stayed with other volunteers, and the overall exchange was meaningful, enjoyable, and enriching. I’m grateful for the experience and the connections I made there.

Recomiendo a cualquier familia la compañía de Victoria. Es una chica muy amable, independiente, ordenada y cumple todas sus tareas sin ningún problema. Estoy muy agradecida de su estancia en mi casa y por todas las cosas en las que ha ayudado, aprendiendo muy rápidamente. Sin duda mi casa está de nuevo abierta para cuando ella quiera volver. Gracias Victoria! =)

He compartido más de un mes y medio en casa con Marta y realmente ha sido un autentico placer. Marta es una gran persona por encima de todo. Ama y cuida a los animales como nadie, y a las personas también. Trampa, la perrita de casa, la va a echar mucho de menos, y yo también! Siempre atenta, dispuesta a ayudar y con una sonrisa. Tiene mucha iniciativa y es muy responsable en todo. Hemos compartido charlas, comidas, tareas, hemos visto fútbol y hemos compartido un poco de todo. Realmente, un lujo compartir estas semanas con ella. Espero que el camino te lleve a un buen destino y algún día puedas volver a casa, siempre serás bienvenida!

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with Josep and his family. They are very special people, generous and open-hearted. Moreover, the area is beautiful, and there is plenty of fun things to do.

se potessi fermare il tempo...lo farei! Alessia, è stata una presenza sottile ma forte. Sempre discreta, sorridente anche nei momenti di piccole difficoltà. Ha cercato sempre di mettersi in gioco, di capire e ascoltare l'universo della Fondazione. Stare insieme ad un gruppo, di cui 15 sono insieme da 27 anni. Un maestro che vede oltre i confini e sa essere giocoso come un bambino ma diretto e deciso nel combattere le 'nostre paturnie cosmiche'. Alessia ha vissuto tantissimi momenti, anche alcuni delicati, eppure ha appreso ogni cosa con un punto di vista morbido e fluido. Ha fatto Taichi non solo nella lezione ma nella giornata. Morbida e costante. Anche se vegetariana, ha mostrato come pochi, un rispetto totale per la nostra cucina e per i pasti. Potendo stare nella nostra casetta mobile, ha dato pure supporto alla nostra cara Annamaria, ospite anche lei presso la Fondazione, con premura in ogni cosa. Uno spirito così bello e raro incontrarlo. Io, Ashanti, come figlia del Fondatore, la ringrazio di cuore per la sua essenza. Mi ha riempito il cuore e porto ancora una stupenda emozione. Non vediamo l'ora che Ala torni per vedere il frutto del suo lavoro! Dalla cucina a piantare le piante al riordino e alla raccolta dei beni primari da poter dare a chi non arriva a fine mese. Ala si è superata in ogni cosa. Una presenza UNICA. Con grande stima e affetto Madre Ashanti

Eloise and me spent two months in Shimoda with this lovely family, and it was by far the best time we’ve had in Japan! Yuuki-san,Yumika-san and Kyle are wonderful people. They were always trying to help us, very friendly, fun, and always available if we needed anything. The work was actually very nice : in the mornings, Eloise helped with cleaning the guesthouse, and I was taking care of Kyle in the afternoon. Playing with this kid was so nice, he's such a nice energy ! He can understand english and the comunication was always very nice. We went fishing together, playing at the beach, or collecting kaki. Our accomodation was a shared house in Shimoda, not too far from the hostel and very convenient. We lived with one other staff who truly became a friend ! Seb, if you read this, cheers man ! We highly recommend this place to everyone! Shimoda is a hidden gem of Japan. We went swimming everyday and see incredible fishes we never saw before. The beaches are the best and you can also experience surfing or snorkelling. The people in Shimoda are so nice, foreigners-friendly. The place is also convenient if you like to got to Tokyo. Also Yuuki is a very strong boxing teacher, he's called the Japanese Mayweather ! Thank you so much for this opportunity to stay with you guys.

It´s kind of difficult to write about Mi. She has been with us "only" for 3 months but she gave so much to all of us! From day one, to the last day, every single day, full of joy and energy and ideas. Always ready to help, no matter if it was to clean a toilet or plan a full weekend for the students. Great to communicate with everyone, and to support the other workaways too. What do we wish ? That she comes back to us. The teachers miss her, the kitchen team misses her, the students miss her.

Eloise and I volunteered in Nozawaonsen for more than a month and we had such a wonderful experience. First of all, we met incredible people. The lovely team made us feel confortable all the time. Thanks to Akira-san, Kei-san and Saki-san. They are very hard workers and devoted to their job. The work mainly consisted of cleaning around the different accommodation ready for the winter season. The working time is pretty flexible, you just have to talk with the team to figure it out. And Nozawaonsen is the place to be if you want to experience the Japanese culture and countryside. Nagano is our favourite area in Japan, and great food is produced here. Everyone we worked with were very nice people. We had a nice room in one of the accomodation, very convenient and confy. Thanks team for all the souvenir and hope to see y'all again ! Leo and Eloise

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful first experience on Workaway with a lovely family. What originally was supposed to be a few weeks turned to a few months stay and became an impactful learning experience for us. Our hosts Manfred and Melanie were accommodating, kind and thoughtful ! They created a very welcoming atmosphere at the Mill. We had a great time doing a wide variety of tasks. Like cooking, childminding, gardening and the big project of building a sauna house ! Manfred was very thoughtful of what we were interested in doing and the work was mostly self directed. We loved being a part of the community, and sharing. If you are looking for a community feeling and self driven projects this is the workaway for you ! The Mill is a tranquil and beautiful place, we loved our experience here and can’t wait to return some day. Thank you !!

Dany et Fabi, Deux personnes uniques de leur arrivée jusqu'à leur départ, ils se sont immédiatement intégrés à notre vie au quotidien avec la famille, les chevaux, les chiens, le jardinage , le ménage, la cuisine, l'amabilité, la politesse, la gentillesse de façon exemplaire rien à dire sinon qu'ils sont irréprochable ! Au point de vue personnel et affectif, leur départ nous a mis les larmes aux yeux avec un seul espoir celui de les revoir. Je leur souhaite bons vents dans leur aventure et leur dit MERCI pour tout ce qu ils ont faits pour nous. Je vous les recommande sans la moindre hésitation, et prenez soins d'eux Michel et Cecile

è stata la mia prima esperienza con Workaway ed è andata ben oltre le mie aspettative. Colm è una persona estremamente amichevole e positiva, ha creato un ambiente davvero unico e mi sono sentita a casa dal primo giorno. Grazie per l'infinita pazienza che hai avuto con il mio inglese. Ho avuto l'opportunità di partecipare alla macinatura delle castagne, che giornata incredibile! Tanta musica, energie positive e allegre, asini affettuosi e volontari che entrano nel cuore. Ho amato dormire nella yurta e fare colazione con i pancake di castagne. Non vedo l'ora di tornare e passare del tempo con questa splendida comunità che profuma di famiglia. Grazie ancora di tutto <3

Mon expérience à la Finca Malpasillo fût des plus enrichissantes, le cadre est magnifique et il y a tout types d'animaux à s'occuper ! Le travail est physique comme je m'y attendais dans une ferme, tous les animaux sont adorables, j'ai pu monter à cheval dans des cours et des balades c'était vraiment génial, je ne remercierai jamais assez les hôtes pour m'avoir permis de partager cette expérience avec eux dans leur magnifique ferme ! Merci encore à Lucía et sa bienveillance ainsi que sa bonne cuisine, Carlos et son humour, (incroyable imitation de la poule 👌🏻) et à Luís 🫶🏻 Je reviendrai vous voir avec le plus grand des plaisirs !

I spent six weeks in the mandarin garden and had a really great time! Sezer and I were more like flatmates and friends, and we shared everything from food to experiences. I had to study on the side and had enough time for that, as well as a desk right under the trees – you couldn't ask for a better place to study. We also went to the market every week, I was taken to weddings, and we went for walks on the beach. Burak and Kadir, who also work in the garden, were always nice and helpful. Everyone made it very easy to settle in and have a very relaxing break from my own life. I would come back anytime, and I definitely will, at least for a visit. Big hugs to you all! Mira

We really enjoyed hosting Annika. We found her open and warm in personal relationships, and disciplined and committed in her approach to tasks. She worked willingly with another Workawayer to help us with several chores that really needed doing and made a visible difference when done. She got on well with the other Workawayer, with whom she shared a room, and enjoyed a trip with her to the Pyrenees. It was good to hear about their experience when they got back. A highly intelligent woman, with a great love of life and a desire to explore new places and experiences, she contributed happily to the household, treating nothing as beneath her. We appreciated her adaptability and enjoyed sharing our lives with her, from early-morning yoga, through lively meal conversations, to games in the evening. We highly recommend her and would be delighted to host her again.

We had the privilege of having Louis and Segolene join our farm and family. They fitted into our routines straight away and really are amazing to have help on your project/home 😍 If you have the chance to host this friendly and hardworking couple TAKE IT ! They are mature, responsible and trustworthy people that we would have back anytime 🙏

Thibault was a very interested, amicable young man from France, coming from a humble background. He was always eager to help and kept his space clean and tidy. He was easygoing with dietary requirements and even offered to cook some French delights himself. Our four‑year‑old adored him, and he was wonderful in the garden as well. We would welcome Thibault back anytime. A truly great Workaway experience.
