Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 113

Judith and I had a great time at Sams. We enjoyed working at the Café and our free time while relaxing at all the beaches or running on forest trails. During the high season it was quite a bit of work, but the working atmosphere was always good and supportive. On top you can feel this special island vibe! Sam is a flexible and caring boss, who always tried to support if needed. We had a cute room for ourselves and Sam took always care about our grocery stock. We had a great time with our customers, her friends and the whole Mermaid Crew. Thanks to Sam and our fellow Mermaids for this unforgettable Summer experience :)

Mark was wiht us for a week, He is a very nice boy, very calm and independent. He was helping on the garden, he was not working fast but he was doing the things quite good. Also he helped me cooking some days and i enjoyed talking and sharing time with him. I recomend to have him in your project because he has very good vibes and he likes to learn about everything. Thanks Mark!!!

Estuve casi 2 semanas con Miguel y Carla en el Hostel y a mi me encantó mi estancia allá. El trabajo incluye preparar el café en la mañana, ayudar con la limpieza de la cocina, de los baños y de las habitaciónes y hacer las camas. Algunas veces hay otras cosas pequeñas para hacer. En cambio recibas una cama en el dormitorio y un parte de comida y buenas charlas con Miguel y Carla. Y si tu quieres practicar tu español puedes hablar en español. Alrededor del Valle de Anton hay algunas senderismos para hacer y el cafe en Coco Latte es muy rico. Definitivamente recomiendo para hacer un voluntariado con ellos. Muchas gracias por todo.

I stayed for two weeks and really enjoyed my time here. The tasks mainly involved feeding and cleaning, and everything was clearly explained. Ala and Lyndon are very committed to the animals and put a lot of time and effort into their care. It was nice to help out and spend time with the animals during the day. Moalboal is also a lovely place to explore in your free time.

Peyloubère is an international community where very unique individuals create a beautiful place, together with local people (gardener, house help, farmers...). It is beautiful to see how much attention there is for the local French commmunity and how this gets implemented in practical ways very naturally. It is a sign of the general openness that lives in the community, which made me feel at home. Gratefullness is another focus point which is practiced, f.e. at the dinner table during a sharing circle, which can range from touching to informative, enriching or funny. And often all of those. The job itself was a perfect match for me. Also how Meg handled the communication: At first she took me on a tour around the garden and showed me all things that could be done. After that I was free to choose, which I liked a lot. I do well with a lot of freedom while gardening and I really appreciated the trust that came with it. And whenever I had questions, Meg was there for me. Often she was one step ahead of me, checking in, making sure I had everything I needed. She is very good at taking care: of people, the land, the animals... which is inspiring and a joy to be part of. There is much more to say and discover... F.e. I was invited on some little trips: into the town for a drink in a local community centre run by volunteers, or to a very interesting and mind blowing museum in Toulouse. All in all I had a very enriching experience that I take with me in my heart. Peyloubère is a confirmation of how community and individuality can go hand in hand, and build the place together.

We spent 2 amazing weeks in Oscar’s finca. We worked roughly 4-5 hours per day, in the beautiful mountains surrounding Suaita. Our main tasks were taking care of the fruits and coffee trees, as well as harvesting the coffee. We really enjoyed discovering the full process of harvesting, sorting and drying the coffee. Oscar is so welcoming, making us discover and appreciate new varieties of coffee, and generously sharing his life, activities and new projects at the finca with us. We were independent on our time off thanks to the installations built by Oscar and previous volunteers, and enjoyed spending time cooking with the good company of the dogs of the finca. We hope to be back again soon !

If you're reading this because you've had the privilege of being contacted by Kali then you should accept her immediately! Kali is without a doubt one of the best volunteers we've ever had in the 13 years that we've been hosting. It's been a month since she left and we're still missing her. Kali joined us initially for only 2 weeks, but we all got along so well that she ended up staying 2 months. She's incredibly considerate, self-motivating, respectful, adaptable, genuine, kind, fun, easygoing, hardworking...the list goes on! She's everything you'd hope to find in a volunteer, and ultimately as a friend. During our time together she cooked for us many times, which we appreciated a lot. She's independent, but also very socially flexible - she got on well with the volunteers and guests, and she was also amazing with our kids. She dedicated time to play with them and to genuinely get to know them. She really became a member of the family. During the last few weeks of her stay she took on the daily responsibility of milking the goats and feeding the animals, and mucking out the stables. Other jobs she helped with were: removing old fencing, painting, gardening, house renovation, cleaning, fence building, paving a floor, baking bread...just to name a few. She's comfortable using power tools, mixing large quantities of cement and digging. Everything she did she did with positivity, joy, curiosity and a genuine passion to learn and experience. We are already looking forward to her return :)

Luca is a hard worker and a very nice person.

We were very lucky to host Kalle for two weeks. And if you have a garden, you are lucky to host him, too. Kalle is young, very friendly and social, he speaks a beautiful french. Life is easy with him and you can be absolutely confident about his work. He has a great experience in gardening. you can even confy him tasks , that he has never done before, he will ask what exactly is to be done and work it quietly out. We had a very good time with him.

Hey dear workawayer's! If you're looking for the nicest family in Skanderborg you've found it! Leyilah is a very kind and caring person ♥️ She will always ask you if you're fine, if there is too much work and if you need a break 🥰 It's really a relaxing place where you can be yourself. Mental health is very important here! The work was never too hard, and you have usually a lot of tasks to choose from. It was mostly things in the house, like cleaning, filling the dishwasher or tidying up (and searching for specific things). Skanderborg is a beautiful city with a lot of second hand shops. Aarhus (30 min by car from Skanderborg) is also very nice. Leyilah once took me and another workawayer with her to Aarhus, and we visited the harbour and the big shopping centre with the huge roof terrace (Salling ROOFTOP). The house where Leyilah, Momo and Michael (Leyilah's boyfriend) live is quite big with a little garden, and from their terrace you have a wonderful view of the lake!! The house is full with a lot of 'creative' things (beads, string, fabric, napkins, ...) and also other things (I've found interesting things in the room in the basement 😅). Sometimes we needed something and then it was a task to look for it, so it's good if you like a little bit of chaos 😁 Momo, Michael and Martin (Momo's dad) are all so lovely, I love it how well Michael and Martin are working together!!! 🙏 Momo likes to dress chic, to play theatre (probably she will be a famous actress one day 😁) and to do something with her friends. The birthday party with her classmates was really funny! Momo lent me a beautiful dress from "Beauty and the Beast" 😍🥳 And we had sooo much pizza 🍕 I stayed in the annex in the garden, it was comfortable and with the heater it was also warm! But there is also a room in the house and a second room in the basement where you can stay! I really recommend this host to everyone! Thank you so much for almost five wonderful weeks ♥️ I wish you all the very best for the future 😘

I had a truly great experience during the two weeks I spent at the foundation. Martin, the rest of the staff, and the other volunteers were incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived. It genuinely felt like being part of a family, and I’m very grateful for the time I spent there.

We had a really great time with this family in Marseille! They are very kind, open, and easy to be around, and they made us feel truly welcome in their home. We spent many evenings playing card games together and laughing nonstop. Being with them was so much fun, from the start, it felt like we were part of the family. Solen is a very smart and mature girl, and it was really nice to watch her climbing competition, we were happy we could be there for that moment! Fanny and Ben are both very kind and caring, and we really enjoyed spending time and talking with them. The dog and the cat are also super cute and made the stay even better. We had a lot of free time, which gave us the chance to explore Marseille and really fall in love with the city. We enjoyed our time so much and truly hope we can come back one day! We will miss you all!

Elizabeth estuvo a mi casa por 2 meses cuando me fui de viaje. Su labor fue de cuidado de mi perrita Suki y mi gatita Domi, y limpieza/mantención de la casa. Fue un 10/10 , realmente fue la persona ideal para este trabajo. Amante de los animales, obviamente vegan, simpática y responsable. Suki y Domi se enamoraron de ella, dormian juntas, llevaba a Suki al cerro, al centro, al parque, a donde fuera, Elizabeth iba con Suki. Me mandaba todos los dias fotos de sus aventuras y buenos momentos. Elizabeth vino a Chile con el objetivo de aprender español, asi que tomo un curso un par de días a la semana y avanzo mucho! Conoció a gente que estaba haciendo lo mismo, si que rapidamente hizo amistades y pudo conocer la ciudad en su tiempo libre. Gracias Elizabeth por tu entrega y cariño a mis bebes y a la casita. Vuelve cuando quieras! Que tengas un buen viaje y muchas aventuras! PD: La Suki y domi te extrañaran.

Yo estuve 3 meses en la casa de Dan y lo pasé hermoso :) Dan es una persona muy abierta y sociable. Me recibió muy bien en la casa y pude compartir mucho con ella. Conecté muy bien con los animales de la casa, Suki (perra) y Domi (gata). Son muy cariñosos. Lo que me gustó mucho es que es de la comunidad y sabe de buenos lugares de la ciudad y afuera y también de eventos. Siempre te apoya cuando necesitas algo y te vas a sentir muy rapido como en casa. La casa en total es muy hermoso, es una casa antigua de campo con patio, terraza y un taller de Risografía y encuadernación. La habitación en cual estuve es arriba de la casa con un baño propio. Asi tienes tu lugar arriba de la casa con acceso a la terraza del techo. La pieza es muy grande con 3 ventanas grandes, un escritorio y muebles antiguos. En la terraza de arriba hay mucho sol y una vista increíble a la cordillera de los andes (que nunca voy a olvidar). Hay reposeras y una mesita para disfrutar bien el amanecer o atardecer :). Abajo hay un patio con hamaca, mesa grande y la cocina. Hay mucho espacio para cocinar y usar el horno para hacer rollos de canela, por ejemplo. Hay lavadora y secadora que puedes usar también. La casa esta llena de plantas como alocasias, monsteras, viñeras y plantas comestibles. El trabajo depende de lo que se necesita en el lugar del momento, pero en general son trabajos de mantenimiento de la casa y ayudas especificas de cosas del momento. Ayudé con trabajos de la casa, como jardinería y construcción, saqué Suki a pasear y pude pasar tiempo en el taller de encuadernación y Risografía. Ahí saqué fotos y videos para las redes sociales del editorial de Dan. Siempre hay gente muy amable trabajando con Dan y puedes conectar y aprender de gente muy sabia de Diseño Gráfico y Ediciones de Libros. Trabajé 4 horas, 5 días a la semana y pude disfrutar mucho tiempo libre en Santiago, que es una ciudad lleno de cultura y buena comida chilena. Vas a vivir en Matta, un barrio patrimonial residencial muy hermoso, con pequeñas plazas y jardines, a 15min de los estaciones de metro. Asi estas bien comunicado y puedes pasar los martes, miércoles y sábados a las ferias llenos de frutas y verduras frescas. Además el persa icónico de Santiago, el Biobio, donde encuentras antigüedades, ropa vintage, comida vegana y todo lo que necesitas, esta a solo 15min también. Recomiendo mucho a venir a la casa de Dan :) <3

I had amazing 1,5 weeks at Guglielmo’s Place. The house and garden are so beautiful, and I’m really grateful for the experience! Guglielmo’s instructions were clear and he’s very responsive, while he also cared for our well-being. Sadly we weren’t able to meet in person! Would love to come back, and I highly recommend staying With Guglielmo! Thanks again!

Marie y Etienne fueron excelentes voluntarios. Ambos tienen cualidades específicas que fueron muy utiles en nuestro proyecto. Eltienne me ayudó a mejorar mi fogón de piedra, y renovó otros dos, además de otros proyectos muy buenos! Marie hizo un plano del campo, sus construcciones, lineas de agua y electricidad, plantaciones. Son personas muy tranquilas y respetuosas, se adaptaron bien al lugar que estaba bastante incómodo sin problema. Muy recomendables!

Anna estuvo 3 meses en mi casa/taller, ayudando al cuidado de mi perrita Suki y mi gatita Domi, en las tareas cotidianas de la casa/ jardin y ayudando en el taller que tengo de encuadernación e impresión en Risografia. Lo pasamos increiblemente bien, tuvimos un match perfecto, muy buena onda, amigable, sociable, divertida, fue extremadamente cariñosa y responsable con Suki y Domi, sabia mucho de plantas por lo que pasamos grandes jornadas de jardineria, plantando, podando, y construyendo estructuras para las plantas en el patio. Nos ayudo cuando estabamos llenas de trabajo en el taller, a encuadernar, compaginar libros, etc. Pero lo mas genial es que como es Artista Visual y tiene muchos conocimientos en artes multimediales nos hizo videos de los procesos del taller! Increible, nada que decir, mil veces recomendada. Muchas gracias Anna por tantos buenos momentos! Ven cuando quieras, esta es tu casa. <3

I'm very happy about Viktoriia's help. I unfortunately couldn't be there while she srayed to help, but despite the distance communication was seamless. She has been a great help all through, followed up on all my requests in a timely manner and was always punctual and precise. Very recommended :)

Thank you so much Carley for sharing your experience with us! We’re truly grateful for your honesty and kind words. We’re happy you embraced the journey—from the food, adventures, and cultural experiences to teaching English and learning Bahasa together with the kids. We really appreciate your patience at the beginning, and we’re glad everything flowed more smoothly over time. Thank you as well for your understanding and flexibility—it means a lot to us as we continue learning and improving. You’ll always be part of the Lovin’ Lombok family, and we’d be so happy to welcome you back someday. Terima kasih banyak and wishing you all the best wherever you are now! ❤️

We couldn't have wished for a better host than Ivonne and Oscar! From our first day on, we felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable. Before our stay with them, we had a video call with Oscar in which he stated his vision of the Workaway exchange, so we immediately knew what to expect. Jördis and I were really happy with the great communication. The apartment in which we stayed was by far our most luxurious workaway home. It had everything you could wish for (our favourite was the rain shower) and Ivonne and Oscar did everything to guarantee we had a nice stay there. The work was easy and chill, so we had lots of time to discover the amazing area around their home. Although Ivonne and Oscar have two wonderful young kids, they always had time for our worries. Jördis and I would love to come back someday and we would strongly recommend this host to all Workawayers out there!!
