Vom Workawayer (Michelle) für Host (Family looking for help on ...)

This was my first workaway experience on a farm. I stayed for 2 weeks with Ioana and her family in this peaceful place along with some chickens and sheep :-) Ioana and Marc are very respectful and kind people. I admire Ioana's courage and hardwork for her vision and passion about what we eat and the impact we could have on the environment and the… read more

Vom Workawayer (Michelle) für Host (Help me with gardening in ...)

I stayed with Anja for 10 days helping with gardening and cooking. She was a caring and generous host. Even before I arrived, she asked me what I would like to eat for the breakfast and took me to the grocery store on my first day. She allowed me to rest when I first arrived after my sleepless overnight transportation. She showed me where things… read more are in the kitchen and made me feel at home. Meanwhile, she read me the house rules on a piece of paper which I carefully followed. In my opinion, I think it's necessary to have rules for every workawayer to follow. She shared places to visit and the trails to walk, which I appreciated greatly. She asked me to do some garden work which was easy and from time to time, she even stopped me from working too hard. I appreciated it so much and wanted to do more work for her by offering her to cook meal on a day that she suggested me to go out. I told her that no problem, I still can cook after I came back from visiting another city. I was sincere wanting to help her by cooking the meal since she really enjoyed it the previous day. However, for some reason she wanted to cook herself and declined my offer. I said there would be no problem if I cooked. But since she declined, I respected her by not cooking that day. I think she took it as I wanted to be in charge. But that was a misunderstanding of my intention. Afterwards, I explained to her and I thought we had cleared out the misunderstanding. But only after reading her review below I realize maybe it was not the case. She stated that she knew I have good intention but she also said that our characters clashed. However, when I was in her house all she said to me was how she appreciated the work I did for her. She was very satisfied with the garden work I did for her. She never mentioned anything about what she was not comfortable with, instead, she even wanted me to visit her again. I think she had tried her best to be a good host. She did not want me to wash the laundry myself, and instead, she did my laundry and even hung my laundry. That made me a little uncomfortable because I wanted to do things myself like doing my own laundry and hanging them. But since it was her house, I respected her request. Anja is a kind and caring person but at times, it was kind of intense and it made me feel like she was trying to be my mom. But I believe she has every good intention.
Thank you, Anja, for hosting me, I just wish that you were being transparent with me how you felt when I was there. That way there would not be any misunderstandings. But I hope for the best for you.

During her stay there were often points of discussion. Michelle did her best and tried to help where she could. On the other hand, she has a strong… read more

vom Host für Workawayer (Michelle)

Michelle stayed 10 days, with me, on her first workaway experience.

Though she has been travelling for some considerable time beforehand.

Michelle is used to working alongside new people, and is good at communicating.

She cooked many authentic dishes, which were very good.

I whish her all the best on her future plans.

Vom Workawayer (Michelle) für Host (Help me with Spanish and ...)

This is my first Workaway experience and Gary made it fantastic for me. Not only is he a wonderful host, he is just such a kind person. From the very beginning, he is very considerate on my trip to a new place, my work conditions, and made sure I am comfortable at his home. He picked me up from the ferry and stocked food for me before I even got… read more
