Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 109

I stayed at Jacks place for 4,5 weeks in november and I had an amazing time. The sun was shining almost every single day and Isla Canela won my heart. About my tasks: My main task was painting the balcony railings which was actually quite meditative. Besides that I always washed the dishes because Jack cooked, I made his smoothie (which was green and not tasty at all🤪) and I did some other household chores. I did one to two hours of painting every day, so it was quite chill. About the rooms and the food: The apartment is gorgeous and the view stunning. Jack always cooked healthy and yummy food and we also went to a couple of restaurants which was great. About Jack: Jack is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He is really funny and he taught me to play Paddle. We played Paddle every evening which was so fun. We also did some trips to Ayamonte, Faro and took the ferry to Vila Real de Santo António. I spent some really great weeks there and I am very thankful for this time. I absolutly plan on coming back and it was very hard to say goodbye to such a nice person and a wonderful place. (And for sure the cats, I befriended many cats and fed them every day.🐈)

Giulia and her partner Dan were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly, supportive, and helpful along the farm. Very trustworthy and beautiful people that were here that brought such magical energy to the land and the animals and took extra good care of each one and every one of them. They were so helpful around the farm with handy tasks and good maintenance experience and they even cooked us some amazing food which we were so grateful for. These two were absolutely just such a gem to have around and both equally were so helpful and supportive to everything else that was going on the farm. They really surprised us in so many ways, It was so nice that Giulia revisited us later on, she has such a kind heart. I would definitely strongly recommend her to any host that is looking to get some great people on their land and or in their home. I would recommend and welcome back them any time in the future. We're so grateful to have that time spent with them and hope that wish them well on their travels.

Yoshinto is very kind and good man. He is hard working he stayed very well with our students and community too. He asks first before doing anything that's good. Our students love him so much, your welcome again next time Thanks so much Yoshinto

Merci beaucoup Naël, de nous avoir bien aidé cet été, avec tout ce qu'il y avait à faire. C'était chouette de t'avoir à la maison, et tu sais que tu peux revenir quand tu veux! Vraiment contents d'avoir fait ta connaissance. On te souhaite de bien continuer ton périple sur le globe...sans oublier ton espagnol! Bonne route à toi, et bien chanceux , ceux qui te recevront chez eux comme volontaire !

The volunteer is polite, responsive to messages, and has a good level of Spanish. Before his arrival, we had a call where the project, the current stage we are in, and the tasks required for this season were clearly explained, as responsibilities vary depending on the time of year. Unfortunately, his work performance was low. He showed little motivation and initiative, and the tasks assigned required constant supervision and follow-up, as they were often left incomplete or did not follow the given instructions. Because of this, it was not possible to assign him additional or more complex responsibilities, just simple tasks. Despite discussing the situation at least 3 times, asking if he was confortable with us, with the job and giving time to adapt, there was no improvement. We eventually decided to end the volunteer stay earlier than planned. I do not recommend him for field projects that require proactivity, autonomy, and independent work. He may be better suited to very structured environments with constant supervision.

Thankyou everyone for a lovely experience. A beautiful workaway in the Lanquin jungle :) 🌴 It was wonderful to see the cacao process and understand the importance of it to the local community. Enjoyed sharing meals with other workers, trips out and dips in the river. My work mainly included gardening, painting signs and helping cook meals for other workers and guests. I stayed for 3 and a half weeks in total. Gracias everyone 💕 Will miss the lovely dogs too! 🐕

Maysham stay with me in the farm for almost one month, was very easy to pass the time with her, respect every aspect of our lifestyle she is proactive person. Thank you Maysham and I hope to see you in the future :)

Helena is a great person in all the ways: smily, polite, smart, clean, organize and many other things. She came for a few months and I really get use to of her help, she start do water the plants in there is nothing to do, swip the kitchen or anything she knows it would be on the list. Her help was so eficient that I end up asking her to stay take care of my house and the 6 dogs, a real housesitter to! O, and also she writes so she is very interesting to talk about what she does

jelena and i spend about 1 week at arturo's. he is a guy with a super big heart, really sharing and offering a lot, wanting to make you feel as comfortable as you possibly can. his dogs are the cutest and he is a super good cook. actually we spent a lot of time cooking like making glutenfree pizza in the pizzaofen (thanks again for the best glutenfreepizza ever) or making falafel from scratch. arturo took us to beautiful places, rivers, waterfalls. highlights were the climbing (or descending) on the waterfall and to play football with a waterbottle with his lovely nephew in a park. workwise we were supposed to build a bambooyurt, but since arturo's car broke down we couldn't do it. instead we did a tiny bit of gardening but mainly we were having fun :) muchas gracias y gran abrazo!

I stayed at the beginning of november for about 10 days at noya's. the nature there is beautiful and the doggos full of love! noya did a lot for me, like cooking super super good and taking me most afternoons for hikes, while explaining me a lot about the plants. she also took me horseriding, showed me latin funk or we put some art on her walls. noya has a really good heart with strong values that she lives after. also she is very smart and super well informed about politics. what i often found to be dificult was her communication which for me could be quite condescending which left me uncomfortable. it was good tough that we could talk about it.

Emma is a 10 star workawayer. A very good experience, and Emma stayed longer as planned. Emma is such a friendly and helpful person, very dilligent at any task you might ask her to do, top responsable, best teamworker. And very interested in her surroundings, adapting easily to different ways of living and cultures, with a kean interest in life and Human Rights. And always approaching life, and people, with a smile on her face. Top recommended! Welcome back any time, Emma!

Beth is wonderfull volunter, she attend all questiin and we have a great experience! Thanks so much!

Mon séjour de presque trois semaines au Hostal auprès de Bush et Castor a été l'une de mes plus belles expériences de voyage. Déjà, Castor m'a fait me sentir comme chez moi dans son hostal. Il a été bienveillant et attentif à tous mes besoins. Il a pris de son temps pour me faire visiter la ville, me compter l'histoire de son pays et m'emmener dans les endroits les plus typiques de Santa Ana et même supporter l'équipe locale durant un match de foot épique ! Durant mon séjour, j'ai pu donner des cours d'anglais à Sofia, Maria et Carla, trois femmes exceptionnelles. Cette opportunité m'a inscrite au cœur de la vie de locaux au cœur immense. Cette expérience était bien plus qu'un volontariat, alors Castor encore merci pour ton accueil et ton temps, je sais que je reviendrai à El Salvador et Santa Ana pour visiter un ami ❤️

I had a great experience with Susan and her family. I really enjoyed spending time and working with them. She was a great host and it was a beautiful place to spend a couple of weeks.

I stayed in his school about 3 weeks. You can teach any subject what you like for the students. It depends on your experiences and imaginations. I taught mathematics, geography, and Shorinji Keno, which is a sport in my country. Not only you teach something to the students, but also you learn lots of things from the students. I learned Tanzanian real life, foods, and hobby from them. It may be completely different from those of your countries, but must be the precious experiences. At last, I appreciate for all of students and teachers and who made me foods. Thank you so much.

We had a good experience hosting Maria, and her friend Anna. They were friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. They helped with the agreed tasks and adapted well to our daily routines and family life. Overall, Maria was reliable and contributed positively during their stay. We wish them all the best and thank them for their help.

I hosted Vicenç for one month, and I only wish it had been longer, as it was truly one of the most positive Workaway experiences I’ve had. He is a wonderful person with an open heart and mind, who fully respected me, my home, and its rules. He helped immensely with the daily organization and cleanliness of the house, organized and cleaned the garage, and worked in the garden with pruning and weeding. As a very experienced runner, he also generously supported me in improving my running technique and performance, always adapting to my pace. He was always willing to help with anything needed, often taking initiative on his own without requiring guidance. Everything he did was perfectly carried out with great care and dedication, as if it were his own home. Beyond all the help, what I appreciated most was his calm presence, genuine smile, and the sense of peace he brought into every moment. Over time, and through the long, thoughtful conversations we shared, he became much more than a guest—I truly feel I gained a good friend. I’m sure we will meet again somewhere in the world, one way or another. I wholeheartedly recommend Vicenç and am confident that anyone who hosts him will feel just as lucky as I did!!!

Marie stayed here for a bit over two weeks, and it was really wonderful having her around. She helped mainly with the olive harvest, but also with some fruit harvesting and general clean-up of the land. She is a proactive person during the harvest as well as in the kitchen, and eager to learn new things. Calm and grounded, but also has a great sense of humour — we shared many good laughs together. She brought a warm and cozy feeling to the place and was very easy to talk to. Respectful, positive, and a real pleasure to have around. She’s always welcome back here, and I’d happily recommend her to other hosts.

Lara stayed here for about a week during the olive harvest, and I really enjoyed having her here. Most of the time was spent on the harvest, where she worked well as part of the team. Although it was probably a bit out of her comfort zone at times, she adapted easily to life here. She also helped out in the kitchen and made a lovely mint syrup using mint from the garden. Lara brought a positive and relaxed energy to the group, and we had some fun moments together — including playing cards in the evenings, which brought lots of laughter. A kind and positive person — she’s always welcome back here, and I’d happily recommend her to other hosts.

Estuvimos casi cuatro semana. Lau nos recibió muy cordialmente y fue muy flexible y abierto con las tareas. Desde el principio nos demostró mucha confianza, lo cual apreciamos mucho. Como estuvimos allí a principios de octubre, aún no había mucha actividad en el hostal. Hicimos muchos trabajos de mantenimiento, trabajamos en el jardín y, por supuesto, también atendimos a los huéspedes. Hicimos asados, una noche de juegos de mesa y también una noche italiana. El hostal es un lugar muy bonito y nos sentimos muy a gusto desde el primer momento. Moka, la perra del hostal, es un encanto y salimos mucho a pasear con ella. Algunos días también ayudamos a Lau en su campo y pudimos ver lo que está construyendo allí y cómo vive. Nos gustó mucho el tiempo que pasamos y estamos muy agradecidos de haber podido formar parte de la familia¡ Muchas gracias y esperamos volver pronto! 💜💜💜
