Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 111

Emily was great to have around. She immediately integrated herself with the locals, even participated in the 18th of September parade in the village. She proactively looked for work when I didn't have any for her to do and we had a good time talking and working together. I wish her all the best for he travels and hopefully see her again on her way back to Santiago.

Barbara stayed with me and my 16 dogs for a month and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very first day she felt like a good friend visiting rather than just a volunteer. The dogs and I immediately felt comfortable with her. 🥰🐾 She supported me in all daily tasks, also helping with the groceries, cooking (she is an awesome chef 😋) as well as extra projects such as painting, sanding, gardening, washing the dogs, and more. She even handled hard works like cleaning the water hole in the jungle with great energy and a positive attitude. We shared French-Spanish lessons, delicious meals and great stories. We spent a lot of time together, laughed a lot and had an amazing time. She cared for the dogs with so much love, tooked them with her in the bed and also into town on her free days ❤️ I’m deeply grateful for her help and her wonderful company. I can wholeheartedly recommend Barbara to any host and truly hope our paths will cross again one day💚

I spent three months here, from July until the end of September, and it was my very first stop in Canada. I couldn’t have wished for a better beginning. The lodge is surrounded by untouched nature: raccoons at night, deer and moose in the forest, a beaver right in front of the dock, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets over the lake. This place is pure poetry, a timeless corner of Canada. The lodge itself is spacious, comfortable, and full of everything you might need. Deven and his family welcomed me with such kindness and warmth that I instantly felt at home. Deven is someone you don’t easily forget: always ready with a joke, a laugh, or just the right words to lift your spirits after a busy day. His laughter is contagious, and he has a unique way of making everyone feel at ease. There is always plenty to do, especially on the weekends, but the genuine warmth and smiles of the guests make every task a pleasure rather than work. I will miss my slow mornings sipping coffee in the company of the chickens and the chipmunks, the refreshing swims in the lake, and that feeling of being part of a family that welcomes you with open arms and no conditions. And I know my cat Paka will also miss being the feline queen of the lodge grounds, as well as her phenomenal cuddle and nap sessions with Deven. This is not just a place to work, it is a home away from home. I’m leaving with countless happy memories… and quite a few more Bob Dylan songs stuck in my head! Thank you, Deven, and thank you to your wonderful family, for memories I’ll always carry with me.

I’m so grateful for my time with Jose and Phil. It was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived they made me feel welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. I learned heaps and had the best time with their animals Milla, Fitz, Lola, Bruce, the chooks and Odie. One of the standout times was joining Jose at a horse-riding competition. It was absolutely amazing and something I’ll never forget. Phil’s cooking was absolutely delicious. Their farm is a lovely place and I wholeheartedly recommend this Workaway. Thank you!

Alessia y Leonardo nos apoyaron bastante tanto en las labores de recepción como en manejo de redes sociales. Muy comprometidos y responsables. Siempre dispuestos ayudar en lo que más se pudiera. Con los huéspedes muy amables y dispuestos a resolver cualquier situación. Gracias por la calidez y sonrisa para todos.

I could only visit one night, because of my own schedules. I still wanted to visit and good that I did! Kids were so lovely, and everyone at the village were so nice and kind. We sang karaoke and next day at class there was songs and dacing, playing with the kids. It was bit difficult to communicate without same language but there was still many things you could do, surely a lot more than I did, because I was so short time and I didn't have time to learn or get to know those kids. I wish I could have stayed longer but I'm very happy I even get to visit quickly. And I fully recommend volunteering here and if possible staying longer time I did.

This Workaway was simply a great experience for me. Everyone at the hostel was so nice and treated me like family. I want to thank Sabik in particular. I had a great time and learned a lot. The day shift was mostly cleaning, and during the night shift, I also did some reception work. I struggled a bit with my Spanish at times, so I would recommend future volunteers practice their Spanish beforehand to make things easier. But despite my obstacles, everyone was very nice and accommodating. The Workaway is very central in Valparaíso, which is a lovely city. Even after my time there, I still feel as though there is a lot the city has to offer that I have not seen. It is simply a unique city. For me, this was a great experience to visit Chile and practice my Spanish. The people were so kind and heartfelt. Thanks to everyone, including the other Workawayers! I was very sad when I left and would like to visit again in the future. Esta experiencia de Workaway fue simplemente maravillosa para mí. Todos en el hostal fueron muy amables y me trataron como a parte de la familia. Quiero agradecer especialmente a Sabik. Me lo pasé muy bien y aprendí mucho. El turno de día consistía principalmente en limpieza, y durante el turno de noche también hice algo de trabajo en la recepción. A veces me costaba un poco con el español, por lo que recomendaría a futuros voluntarios practicar el idioma antes para que todo sea más fácil. Pero, a pesar de mis dificultades, todos fueron muy amables y comprensivos. El Workaway está muy céntrico en Valparaíso, que es una ciudad encantadora. Incluso después de mi tiempo allí, siento que todavía hay mucho que la ciudad tiene para ofrecer que no he visto. Es simplemente una ciudad única. Para mí, fue una experiencia estupenda para visitar Chile y practicar mi español. La gente fue muy amable y cordial. ¡Gracias a todos, incluidos los otros Workawayers! Me sentí muy triste al irme y me gustaría volver a visitar en el futuro.

Amy es una anfitriona EXCEPCIONAL. Su casa es súper acogedora, cálida y cómoda. Sus gatitos son preciosos y una adorable compañía. La ducha del jardín entre madera y glicinias, mágica... Para mí Amy ha sido sinónimo de hogar, de REFUGIO, de hospitalidad. Amy tiene un enorme corazón, se desvive para que estés a gusto, y por crear un ambiente de colaboración, pero también de libertad. Me encantó que gran parte del trabajo lo hicimos juntas. Me enseñó pacientemente todo lo que tenía que conocer para hacer el trabajo; aprendí bricolaje y disfruté de corazón ayudándola en las mejoras de su casa. Pero también me cedió su tiempo para mostrarme el bello pueblito de Meschers y sus preciosas playas, además de otros pueblos cercanos de esta preciosa y joya desconocida que es el Charente Marítimo. El corazón generoso de Amy me hizo muchísimo bien este verano (y sus deliciosas galette jiji). Al final compartimos mucho más que las horas de trabajo. Compartimos amistades, risas, música, conversaciones interesantes, inteligentes y profundas, lágrimas, juegos y sueños. Amy es una mujer fuerte, valiente, luchadora y a la vez dulce, tierna y amorosa. Es una persona inspiradora, que deja huella. No puedo más que recomendar esta experiencia de la que me siento profundamente agradecida. Merci, ma chère amie. À la prochaine! ☆

We would like to sincerely thank Abigail & Aharon for coming to help us. They were wonderful teachers for our children – always well-prepared before every lesson, patient, and kind. The children enjoyed learning with them so much. They also helped us with cooking, and the meals they made were truly delicious. We had so much fun sharing meals together and enjoying their cooking. We really appreciated their support, warm energy, and positive attitude during their stay. It was such a pleasure to host them, and we warmly recommend them to any future host. Wish you both all the best in your future journeys!

This was my first workaway experience and I truly could not have asked for anything better! The brothers and sisters were so welcoming and their community based, faith-filled lives are so beautiful. My daily schedule allowed for me to have structure and also plenty of down time to enjoy the incredibly idyllic grounds (and many cute animals)! I spoke very minimal French upon arrival, and would suggest anyone interested to brush up on their French as I feel it is the best way to get the full experience! I went into this workaway hoping for some peace and to experience a different way of life. I had these things and I am also leaving with new lifelong friends and a profound appreciation for the wonderful way of life which they practice here! I will miss everything and everyone so profoundly. I cannot recommend this experience enough♥️ thank you for everything!

Joe and Rachel's property is bustling with friends and family, which they are glad to invite workawayers along, as well as to events in the community. They are passionate about their beliefs and meticulous in their planning of projects and how to involve workawayers to make it a learning experience. The food was pretty good too!

Living here was a revitalizing time with the beautiful river, the huerta, bosque, the gompa and with the people. The place and community have a very lovely and positve energy that also comes with the small rituals we have together before every meal for example. Not only a good place to find rest and relaxation but also a good place to grow. I learned a lot living together with the people and I am really thankful for that. I am already missing the place and the people I connected with. It feels like I found a home I can always come back to. Thanks for the beautiful 3 months together. Sending you a lot of love familia <3

Timo contributed with enthusiasm and responsibility, he is a very respectful person and is always willing to help. We have enjoyed his visit and collaboration, we recommend him without hesitation.

This was my first experience working at Workaway and as a first experience I can say it was the best experience. Bruno and his family treated me like family. They were so warm and friendly like Brazil. Bruno patiently explained to me how to make local syrups and I was able to experience things I had never done before, like building a chicken coop, painting wooden planks, watching the sunrise and sunset from the heights of Amparo and seeing a new religious ceremony. Bruno was generous and kind and the sun was warmer and the sky was bluer on the farm. If you are looking for a slice of paradise experience, Bruno's farm could be the best option. In addition, I found my best friends on this farm like Simone, Kevin, Eduardo, Margot and Charlotte.

I spent 3 weeks with Amber and her daughter Grace. I helped clean the BnB and their tiny house, prepared their huge yard for the winter, and helped in the kitchen. I was with two other workers, and we all got along well together. Downtown is on the opposite side of the river – it feels like being in the center while still having enough relaxation in this rural place. Awesome hiking trails and lakes are close to the area. Amber is super flexible, she makes awesome salads and has great dinner ideas. I learned a lot during my time here. Amber is very open-minded, and you can talk with her about anything.

What a wonderful first workaway experience at Héctor and Edith’s. They are an incredibly kind and generous couple who clearly love each other (and their dog cats) very much. I was told immediately upon my arrival that their home was now my home, and it truly felt like this from day one. I was there for just under two weeks, mostly doing gardening work, as well as a bit of carpentry. I had my own room and bathroom, which felt like an absolute luxury, I slept very well. As stated in other reviews, Héctor is an amazing cook and passionate about cuisine, I never went hungry and got to try new foods every day, which was greatly appreciated. Even breakfast changed daily and was always delicious. Really feel like I was part of the family for the time I was there. Muchas muchas gracias por todo, espero verlos pronto! :)

Our experience with the lovely dogs was so wonderful!! We were thinking about how is possible to have affection for the other ones in such a short time, in this case 9 days, we miss a lot Percy and Remy; what a wonderful, well behaved and playful dogs!! xoxo Jim kindly took us from the airport and Roz prepared a tasty lunch and dinner for inviting us, we felt pretty welcome, they explained pretty well the activities and even show us where to walk the dogs in the lovely Ashdown Forest, we had a lot of fun there with the dogs. There we also could work online so comfortable and visit Brighton and Pooh’s Corner. Once again thanks for the chance and we hope all of you (with the boys of course) always have a happy live together 💗

Our house felt so quiet and empty from the moment we said goodbye to Pavel and Daniella. We missed them very much but probably not as much as our kitty cats!! They are a fabulous couple and exactly what you would hope every workawayer would be like when you accept them. They work hard without ever a complaint and want to finish what they started. Pavel is a powerhouse and eager for more challenging jobs . He seemed to love chopping and gathering wood from our faraway paddock!! Daniella puts her music on and just gets on with any task. They were easy to feed and were always grateful for any trips we took them on. We loved our conversations and they were able to give us many travel tips for our upcoming European trip. If these two ever contact you to be your Workaway you would be crazy to bypass them They are wonderful !!!!

I stayed with Javi for two and a half weeks and had an incredible experience. He was quick and gracious to involve me in the goings on of his own life which deepened my cultural experience of northern Spain as well as my exchange with his many international friends. There is a lot to get done around the property which was awesome for me as I got to do something different every day and each one was truly a new adventure. All the while he was super accommodating and even allowed me to switch tasks as needed to things that would get me out of the heat when it did get hot. The nature of this workaway is very open-ended in terms of scheduling which allowed me to configure a favorable schedule for myself which I greatly appreciated as well. We also cooked dinner together most nights, the ingredients for which Javi graciously and generously supplied, and lingered long over lots of great dinner chats. I'm so grateful for these couple weeks I had here and that I got to share in Javi's life for this time; I won't soon forget his kindness. Thank you Javi! Dan

This was my first Workaway experience and Johannes really gave me such an excellent start. I stayed with him and his family for 10 days in September. He was very kind. His parents and his sister who was visiting at that moment were also very friendly and warm. We played memory card together. They all spoke good English and really treated me as if I were their own family. I really appreciate his initiative to arrange "Indonesian Dinner" where He invited his friends and family to have Indonesian foods that we prepared together. He also introduced me to his friends, and they were all very kind. One of them even bought me some tropical fruits just because it reminded me of home. That was very lovely. Johannes always let me decide what I'd like to do and how long I'd want to work each day so that I enjoy my time with him the most. His house is really big, I got a good wifi connection from where I slept. They also have a big room full of musical instruments that people can use. There's a river just a few meters away from the backyard and I got to see the neighbor's cows! It's such a peaceful neighborhood. I learned some German words/phrases/saying from him and his family. Overall I had an amazing time here. All the best for you, danke fur alles und bis bald!
