Description
I live with two dogs and 3 donkeys in a small farmhouse in the middle of nature. I have a large terrain where I could use some help. At this moment I am preparing to host a get-together for 5 to 10 like-minded friends who are interested in Hungarian culture (food, music, riding). I am not a business, the meeting I would like to organize is merely an exchange of ideas and experiences among likeminded people while having a relaxed day in the process. I could use help in the preparing phase, like cooking outside, cleaning, preparing the terrain, etc.
I'd like you to stay a minimum of two weeks and I expect you to work 4 hours a day with two days off per week.
You will have a place to sleep and meals will be provided during working days. Please keep in mind that the life here is very basic without luxury. There is no electricity but I have a small solar panel that will provide enough for charging our phones and some light in the evening. Water comes from a well that we have to get once a week. In return you will find a quiet place in the middle of beautiful nature.
Work and time-off as usual, i.e. 5 days a week 5 hours of help, weekend free, Food is provided. It is possible to help only 3 hours a day 5 days,
but without food on weekend, but of course without work.

Despite the initial hiccups, Gijs adapted quickly and was a great help. We are glad that he is genuinely interested in Hungarian culture and language, so he has been able to build relationships. I hope we stay in touch and that he succeeds in his plans.

About one week ago I returned from my Workaway experience at Gabi's place in Hungary which was one of the most special journeys I’ve had for a while. I've stayed for 14 days at Gabi's place and it really was a wonderful experience. Gabi and Mark are extremely kind and willing to make your stay a special experience.

Orhan, thank you for your kind words! I've never laughed so much with any volunteer, but we still managed to get the work done and have a little holiday. Orhan takes the work seriously and does it independently, if he is unsure he asks questions. He has adapted extremely well to unusual circumstances, we look forward to seeing him again!

I stayed at Gabi's place for about 3 weeks. In this process, I generally helped with cutting wood, cut off bushes, taking care of animals, washing dishes. We also washed carpets and cars once. Gabi usually would tell me what to do and leave it up to me when to do it. This allowed me to work very flexibly and independently.
