Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 29

Thank you so much Ann and Liam for a wonderful two weeks! This was definitely our favourite workaway experience so far. We loved our chats about philosophy, consciousness and aliens (and playing Catan)! The food was always top-notch, Ann is an amazing chef, we were incredibly well looked after. We stayed in the writer's retreat for half the time, which was perfectly decorated and a real treat, the second half was spent in the caravan, which was also cosy. The work was 5 hours a day for 3 days off, it consisted of weeding and strimming (whippersnippering as they say here) the oak forest and labyrinth as well as some other outside tasks. Ann was always very generous in giving us lifts to places on our afternoons and days off, there are lots of good walks and activities in the surrounding areas. The place holds a special energy, our time here was very peaceful. Ann, we hope you achieve your goal of making the world a better place through retreats, mindfulness, love and kindness. We would love to come back to see you again and the progress made at the Sanctuary, thank you for having us!

Sharing two weeks with Marion and Denise was a very enriching experience in many ways. I truly enjoyed the surroundings and feeling like part of the family during my short stay, where I enjoyed eating lots of salads and sweet treats every day. During the days, I mainly helped with gardening tasks such as removing and cutting banana tree, weeding, chopping wood, feeding the chickens and ducks and collecting/cleaning their eggs, preparing the soil for cultivation, trimming hedges, washing the motorhome, and washing and polishing personal vehicles, among other tasks. I’m also very grateful for the consideration during the last few days and for taking me to see beautiful places around the area. Thank you very much as well for being flexible and for helping me with my job search, and for lending me the bicycle to make it possible. A hug and best wishes to you both.

I spend a wonderful time with Nomina and her family during December. She have a true kind heart and was really invested about make me discovering Mongolian culture. As a volunteer here, you goal will be to help her as many tasks as you can. She stopped working for being a full time mother with her 7 years old kid Marko. Marko have autisme but he is doing big progress every day for becoming more and more independent. Despite everything he is still a kid who likes to play, draw, hug, listen to music and eat cookies. Together we shared beautiful walks in the snow and the wood, learning to do the dishes and songs of green mantras. It can be really exhausting for Nomina so helping her will allow her some precious resting or alone time, in exchange she will cook wonderful meals (her love language is food for sure) and take you exploring the area and the city. She have an international profile and will love talk with you about everything and she will also respect naturally your intimacy and your resting times. My time with them was rich and I hope I will have the opportunity to come again and see how Marko will grow up :)

Anabele staid nearly 3 weeks with me and it was the perfect match. She is a very helpful and nice person, who took good care of my animals and everything I asked her to do. I only can recommend her.

It was an honor and privilege to teach English here in Balkhash. It was a great experience I won't ever forget, from taking the train to the city, to interacting with all the students, and experiencing more of Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Mansur and the other teachers were friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed sharing meals and conversations with him, and enjoying the comfort and privacy in the room I was given. It was very interesting to learn more about your country, and see similarities between the youth of my country and yours. I am glad I could help the students learn and practice their English. Thank you for the experience, and God bless you you all.

Sharing time with Denise was a very pleasant experience. From day one, I truly felt welcomed, and I enjoyed every moment—especially every meal we prepared together. Denise has a beautiful and magical garden at her home, where I really enjoyed the process of redesigning it as well as the maintenance work. It was truly a unique experience, and I also had my own independent space. I’m also grateful for having discovered new places thanks to Denise’s kindness, as she took me to visit some nearby beaches and also for having accompanied her to her physiotherapy sessions at the pool in Henderson. Thank you so much for everything, Denise. I’m sure we’ll see each other again!

This was my first Workaway experience and actually very last minute, but Kitty accepted me rightaway. Kitty and his family are amazing people who will welcome you into their family right away. They have many things they need help with. During my stay I have helped in their garden and also with the cleaning of their hotel, which they recently opened. I met the most amazing people durning my stay in Ayutthaya, both from Workaway and locals. When I first arrived I didn't know what to expect, but Ayutthaya has given me more that I could have wanted. Thank you Kitty and Kwan for letting me stay with you, and thank you Grandma for cooking the most delicious food I have ever eaten. My planned two weeks have turned into two unforgettable months. I am super greatful for my stay here and hopefully be back soon!

It was a real pleasure to have you stay with us. You are such a calm, warm-hearted, and polite person, and we truly enjoyed having you in our home. We really appreciated how tidy and well-organized you were, and you were wonderful with the children. They enjoyed spending time with you very much. Thank you for sharing this time with us. We are very happy that you stayed with our family and hope to see you again someday.

Sebastien was lovely to have around, very helpful and motivated to help and do the jobs that needed to be done. He is kind and respectful. Highly recommend him 👌

Eine wunderschöne Oase mitten im Grünen. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit hier und kann es nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.Sabine ist ein herzensguter Mensch und sie hat sehr liebe Tiere. Die Arbeiten waren einfach und unkompliziert.

Bettina is the best! I’m incredibly grateful for the nearly two months I was able to spend with her. She’s caring, kind, and open-hearted, and everything feels easy and relaxed with her 🙂 Her dogs are absolutely adorable, and you can be sure that Kyro will greet you every morning with a wagging tail, making your day start off right. I can only highly recommend her as a host! Thank you again for everything!

Carlotta stayed with us for ~ three weeks and was a wonderful part of our home and farm. Although she originally planned to stay for two weeks, we were happy when she chose to extend her stay. She helped with a range of tasks including feeding the horses, checking the chickens, working in the vegetable garden, looking anfter the dog and general farm help, and she approached everything with a positive attitude. She was reliable, responsible, and happy to pitch in wherever help was needed. Carlotta got along very well with everyone. She was friendly, and contributed to a great group atmosphere. It was lovely to see her connect with others and make the most of the experience, including travelling with fellow workawayers afterward. She was also great with our daughter and animals, and we really appreciated her openness and enthusiasm for learning new things during her stay. We wish her all the best in her travels and future adventures.

I stayed around 10 days at the farm and had the best time. The work is fair (it's tasks like planting garlic, packaging produce, pickling cabbage..), there's around 20 other volunteers who will definitely make your stay a lot of fun, the accommodation is good (big kitchen, two shared bathrooms and a lot of different rooms to stay in), you get fresh produce from the farm and other food provided. Communication with Burak worked flawlessly and he gave me loads of information about how to get to the farm, which is about 45min from Izmit, the next big town, where you can also go on the weekends. Otherwise you can always spent time with the other volunteers, cooking together, playing boardgames, making pizza and joking around :)

Vanesa helped with any tasks required with a smile on her face.She did lots of gardening and built a good part of our new mudhouse...thanks again for all the work and help.Big hug.Always welcome...

Oh my goodness where to start. Amazing person. We got on so we. She worked so hard and I am so grateful for all her help. I look for to her next stay. She looked after my animals so well, i love how she loved my dogs and all my animals, even princess Hattie. The Garden looks amazing and the tomatoes have grown so well.

Adam stayed here for around 2 and a half weeks. He is a very positive young man and always has a smile on his face. He helped me a lot with all kind of tasks around the house and in the forest. We shared the cooking tasks and Adam as already mentioned in a previous feedback is baking the best sourdough bread. Also the best crackers.... Everybody that gets to know Adam can consider himself lucky! High recommendation!

Ian worked at our place for 2 weeks with a week’s break in between while he went tramping further south. He immediately fitted in well with us, our lifestyle, conversations and meals joining in on fun with our extended family. He was quick to learn, worked well, was independent, focused, careful and a great worker. He was willing to takes on any task he was given including concreting, cleaning the car and the shower. Ian easily took instructions from John, and mostly worked independently. He completely weeded the veggie and flower gardens, dug over garden beds adding compost, planted veges, and helped secure plants in a gale. He cooked us a delicious meal and was always there when we started cooking and stayed around to chat then clean up afterwards. He entertained himself during his time off going on tramps, walks , mountain bike rides, kayaking and relaxing. Ian has a thoughtful, mindful, can-do nature and we recommend him highly to any host. We welcome him back on his return to Nelson

Dylan and Melani are the perfect couple. They spent lot of time with our children in our kindergarten, doing numerous fun activities, playing music and dancing with the children. They spent two weeks with us. They presented a bracelet for each kid on Christmas Day celebration, which they only made while they were at our place. Dylan also helped us with the design of computer systems, networking for our new school. Dylan was also our Santa for the Christmas Day❤️. Melani was very good at everything she does. They worked incredibly hard over the time here, spending most of the time with the kids while they are at school, and working later after the kids leave the school on bracelets or preparation of new activities for next day. We played many board games and spend good time around dinner tables, having good conversations. The children will definitely miss them and ofcourse everyone at our home. We wish best of luck to this perfect couple.

This was my first Workaway experience, and it was the perfect place to start. Everything was great, and ma’am was very kind and supportive. If you love animals, this is truly one of the best places to volunteer. I hope to come back and volunteer here again in the future.

I can highly recommend Alex as a workaway host. Alex is a very respectful, kind and deeply caring person. He was my first contact and encounter in Australia, and he truly helped me with everything. From the very beginning, he made me feel welcome and supported. Alex shared so many helpful tips about life in Australia and how to find my way here. He has a very positive positive and gentle energy. During my stay, I went for walks with Shelby, his dog. Shelby is an incredibly loving, active and wonderful dog, and it was always a joy to spend time outside with her. Spending time with Shelby never felt like work at all — it was genuinely fun. What started as a workaway experience turned into a real friendship, and I’m very grateful for that. I can wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone considering staying with him.
