Beate hat unseren Aufenthalt mit Familie sehr gut vorbereitet, die Arbeit war klar und und super organisiert. Das Essen war sehr lecker, originell und immer selbstgemacht. Unser Ziel Deutsch zu sprechen, wurde mit Ralph, Beate und Leila bestens erreicht. Es war für uns interessant ihr Familienleben zu erfahren.

Kevin was a very uncomplicated guest. There was no work that he did not enjoy working with. His standard motto was: I never complain. He never did! The time was too short to really get to know in detail. We certainly had a lot of fun and look forward to a reunion.

Miguel & Enrique sind zwei sehr motivierte Männer, die wirklich mit angepackt haben.

Da sie zu zweit sind, ist die Kommunikation untereinander eher gegeben, als mit den Gastgebern. Das hat sie sicherlich weniger… read more

They welcome you warmly, do anything they can so you feel comfortable and happy. I can't count all the things they've done for me. I'm already missing them.

Moises quit after three days because of the boring city we live in. Not enouht party was going on. Too bad, that he could not hold his promis to stay 14 days. His work was ok but very slow....and he has no experience in gardening. He picked all our green tomatos instead of watering them.... :-(
