I can totally recommend this workaway to everyone! Titilayo and Richy are caring, fun and generous hosts and we were lucky, that they hosted us spontaneously on their land. We helped them with all kinds of tasks in the garden and with their pets (which are adorable!). The communication and expectations were clear from the start, and it felt very

Also, I want to mention, that the land is beautiful and that Titilayo and Richy built a really nice area for volunteers: their van, the outdoor kitchen, shower, etc are more than great and definitely high standard for a workaway! We were always provided with good, nutritious food and having dinner together was delicious and fun. Before we left, we did a trip through the mountains and Titilayo and Richy showed us around the area.
Thank you so much for this experience and we hope to come back one day!
Anna and BenLeft by host for Workawayer (Anna)
Anna came with her boyfriend Ben. We hadn't actually planned a workaway and were unsure whether we should say yes. It was a good decision for Anna and Ben to join us. Not only did they support us actively, were reliable pet sitters and cooked us delicious meals, we also had a lot of fun with them.
Thank you Anna and Ben for supporting us so

Titilayo und Richy haben uns spontan aufgenommen und waren sehr sympathische, offene und hilfsbereite Menschen. Wir waren zu dritt und konnten in Doloris (den Wohnwagen) und auf dem Heuboden schlafen, welche sie sehr liebevoll eingerichtet haben.
Bezüglich der Aufgaben hatten wir eine große Auswahl an Aufgaben auf dem Land und konnten auch immer

Am Wochenende hat Titilayo mit uns immer einen Ausflug gemacht. Wir haben einen Roadtrip in die Berge gemacht, waren wandern, essen und beim Wochenwndmarkt.
Abendbrot haben wir immer gemeinsam gegessen und hatten schöne Gespräche und Spieleabende.
Beide sind total nett und sehr liebevoll.
Vielen Dank an euch beiden!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Helene, Manni and Konrad lived with us for a month and helped us with many different projects. Whether it was building a small agility park for our dogs, taking our dogs for daily walks, chopping wood or tidying up the workshop, the three of them were an absolute enrichment for us. They came at a time when our lives were very turbulent and we were

It was particularly touching to see how lovingly they treated our animals and how much fun they had playing with them. We can recommend Helene, Manni and Konrad with full conviction. Not only could we rely on all three of them at all times, we also really enjoyed our evenings together.
Thank you three, you were an enrichment. Thank you for the sweet dog house, the beautiful cherry tree, your hard work and your patience in trying to teach me skat in vain. You are always welcome here.

Jolanda and Zora gave me unbelievably great support while Richy was in Germany. At the beginning, we discussed what work needed to be done and where I could use support. Since I also work from my home office, I gave them a free hand to decide when and how to spend their time. Not only could I always rely on both of them, but they were also very

They were particularly fond of our cat Mikosch, who enjoyed being cared for and cuddled by the two of them to the fullest. Thanks to the best cat and dog sitters! We had many great conversations and laughed a lot together during our excursions and meals. The time with Zora and Jolanda showed me once again how good and important it is to always keep an open mind, to exchange ideas and to hear from which perspective younger people see the world.
Jolanda and Zora gave us a very special gift by painting a beautiful mural on our little outdoor house. Thank you Jolanda and Zora for the very nice time with you and your great support! You know you are always welcome back to Doloresland!

We were with Titilayo for the last two weeks and we loved it!!! Before we went to stay with her we had a video call and we immediately got along very well. She is such an open minded, fun, caring and welcoming person and she put a lot of effort into making us feel at home and have an enriching experience at her place. We stayed in a sweet and
… read more comfortable caravan on the beautiful land so we could enjoy some privacy. She cooked really tasty and healthy food for us and we ate together and had many good conversations. You can learn a lot from her.
She took us on hikes to see a beautiful waterfall and the mountains to show us around. It was always great talking to her, sharing experiences and opinions, we had so much fun!
We also loved her two dogs and her cat, they made us laugh everyday.
It is a very calm place, so you will be able to relax and clear your mind.
Titilayo was very appreciative about the work we did and she is willing to communicate honestly about everything. We are so thankful for her and we'll definitely visit her again! <3You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Titilayo and Richy are very welcoming hosts. We achieved alot of work together in the garden. The garden is just a wonderful place. I am also happy that the dogs have now a playground. The camper is a nice place to stay, right at the farm, guarded by a nice cat named Mikosch. For me overall it was a good expirience and I am grateful that Titilayo

Stefan was with us for almost four weeks and we are very grateful for his support. We have accomplished a lot together in the past few weeks. Stefan is a very reliable helper, always friendly and punctual. He helped us a lot with the gardening and made sure everything was weed free. He also supported us in building a dog playground and took care
