Beschreibung
Hello everyone,
I'm 24 years old and my hometown is Dresden, Germany. I'm coming to Uruguay from mid September to mid October and I’m looking for a nice place to stay and help at.
I have some workaway experience since I've worked and traveled in Canada for 6 months in 2018.
There I stayed at farms with different animals. The work included weeding, gardening, building, feeding the animals, harvesting vegetables, helping with a kidscamp, cleaning and a bit of cooking and baking. At home I work at an outdoor climbing park in addition to studying. The work includes safety introduction, supervision of guests, selling snacks and drinks and other tasks surrounding maintenance and guest care.
I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and taking care of animals.

Vom Workawayer (Alina) für Host (Come and join an urban ...)

I thought about what to write here a lot. I’ll be very honest:
What I liked:
The people working at the restaurant. I haven’t met many people as kind, welcoming and caring as the people who work there. They are just lovely! It’s definitely easier when you speak Spanish, but there was always someone working who I could talk to in English.
What I… read more think should be improved:
There are a few small things, that I’ve experienced differently at other places where I’ve worked such as: not having to ask for everything like linens, blankets, towels, how the washing machine works, where everything is and when events are happening that I could be part of. In my opinion it would also be good to have a spot to hang your laundry that is big enough for two people (when there are three staying there) to hang their stuff, or rain protection, so the people can take turns when the weather is bad instead of hanging their laundry in the room. But these are minor things. A real problem for me was the room. In my opinion it desperately needs some updates for people who are influenced by their environment, to feel comfortable (the shower is barely attached to the wall, the toilet is old and moving when you sit on it, the placement of the plug in the room is not ideal, the curtains have a lot of mould spots in them,..).
When I arrived, two people were already staying there (~6 m2 room+a ~2m2 bathroom). The bathroom was dirty, the mattress really worn out and I could smell the mold in the curtains and mattresses. I got brand new sheets, cleaned the bathroom for 1,5h, stayed a few nights and booked a bed in a hostel after I’ve realised someone must have been smoking in the room and I just didn’t feel comfortable with the circumstances and the other two people living there.
The work was totally ok and most days pretty relaxed. I washed the dishes, helped cleaning up the outdoor space and painted walls upstairs. You can either do 5h a day for 2 meals, or 6h a day for 3 meals (5 days a week). The food is delicious and you can pick what you’d like from the menu or leftovers.

After all, I am still grateful for the experience. I just wish I knew about the sleeping/living situation beforehand and would have considered my plans and planned extra money for a hostel. Then I would have probably negotiated my work hours instead of being overwhelmed and taking a „sorry for the situation“ from Sebastian as the only response to the situation.

I really hope the overall situation for the Volunteers living there is going to be improved and communicated honestly in the future, because then I could wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone.

This special young woman was a life saver to me. She came during harvest and just stepped in to help out in a big way. She is flexible, hard working and has such a helpful attitude. I really enjoyed her presence and enjoyed sharing time with her. She is always welcome back anytime.

Christine and Lawrence are very openminded and welcoming people, they did their best to enable me a nice stay at their farm. The landscape is beautiful and the animals need and apreciate attention. Nevertheless there are a few things you should know before you go there. I stayed in the basement for one week and a half and there was no window in my… read more

Vom Workawayer (Alina) für Host (Animal and grain farm in ...)

Sadly I could only stay for one and a half week with Janice and Darryl but it was one of the best experiences in Canada. The family is extremely openmined and generous. We did a lot of mucking out barns and cleaning old hay bale-leftovers, which was hard work, but in exchange we also got a lot of fun things to do and explore! I enjoyed my stay a… read more

Alina stayed with us for 10 days. She is cheerful and easy to have around, with her mischievous sense of humour! She was extremely hard working and strong, and able to take on heavy work, like cleaning manure out of goat sheds and cleaning up old hay piles. She pushed on to finish the jobs, even when I was ready to quit! I was also able to use… read more

I really had a nice time with super cute animals, friendly people and very delicious cheese!!
The accomondation is really cool, just a bit hot in the summer but you always have the oppurtunity to spend time in the house! The day is very structured and organised, which I really enjoyed. For me it was sometimes hard to understand the french… read more

Now I finally take time to leave a feedback..
The farmstay at Sue and Bodo's place was my first workaway experience. I stayed for 5 weeks in July/beginning of August and it was such a great experience!
Sue and Bodo are very openminded and welcoming people and it was the greatest pleasure to meet their daughter Lauren and her children :)

Alina was very versatile, helping us at our summer camp for a week and also with our visitors, gardening and looking after the animals. She is very responsible and can be left to do a job properly with little instruction. Alina is reliable and thorough in her work. She was a great help with the horses. She is very capable and easy to live with.
