Looking for help in a little house in a little forest in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

I had a great time with Vladi, he helped me a lot with preperation and mixing a good planting earth and as far the plants are growing fantastic. In his free time he fixed the fence, cut small wood or prepared food. He was good with every weather and had no problem to work outside even when it was raining
He has a strong sense of responsibility and… read more is very reliable.
I wish you all the best with your plans and hope to see you soon again!

Duane wanted to stay only for five days as he is travelling and want to see as much as possible so I'm so really happy he helped some more days with everthing what was to do, he learned fast, adapted to every Situation and work was never too much for him.

Shahob is a talkative educated person, willing to learn as much as possible, using every free minute and as well during easy Jobs like weeding or watering to learn languages or listening to documenteries.

Michaela came with a friend and her dog and as they came from france driving in the night they had the first day to get known to the place and recover from the jurney.
From the second day on they helped every day, and they did a good job, self reliant althoug they had not much experience with gardening. Thanks to them I could do some other works… read more as they were also good without me and did a lot of weeding and preparing food. The kitchen was always clean and there was no extra work for me, what sometimes happens with helpers :wink:
Thank you so much and all the best for your future trips!

Christian is already vegan for three years and as he's interested in raw food too we had a good time together eating healthy food, running the garden and the marcet, making a trip to a fruit putlock, looking for eatable mushrooms in the forest... Time was running and I couldn't believe that it was already over a month that he stayed with me when… read more he left.
I hope he will be not tired after one year of travelling and will share his experiences with me next year!
All the best for your trip and we do stay in contact :-)

There's not much more to say, we had a great time together, Bradley helped me in the forest, the house and in the garden with planting loads of potatoes (finally they are growing, despite the cold temperatures!!!)
weeding ( they are growing always too fast!!!) and and and!!!
We went together with the bikes to the market ( 25 km ohne way!) and he… read more opend my eyes for special spots in the region.
He had no problem to be without mobile connection and Internet access, listening or making music, reading books or just sitting complentaded at the fire.
I had a great time with you and enjoyed not only the fantastic massage! And you did help a lot!!!
See you hopefully soon my friend :-)

Julian is a very handy young man who can work self-reliant, ingenious and useful. He built a nice bank with old pallets and a open garden house with only little help from others. He´s living a healthy lifestyle, didn´t ask for special food, but was satisfied with what we had in the garden, found in the surrounding nature or got for free at some… read more markets. He was an inspiring person for the other workawayers with his ideas of fastening and cleansing the body and also with his calm and peaceful character. It´s just not possible to fight against him as he already disarm you with his smile on his face before you can start.
still hoping for your help at my new house!

Luis is a self-effacing, well educated, interested, calm, good hearted, fast learning young man who will get fast more self-sufficient and self-reliant on his first trip. I was his first host after his long trip from Mexico, and he adopter very fast to the new environment. He helped me to move to the house in the forest and whatever I asked him… read more for, even with my music students as he is a brilliant cello player! I hope to see you again Luis, for sure it will get warmer and sunny in spring time! ;-)

Henry ist sehr hilfsbereit, gewissenhaft, selbstständig,...alles was das Zusammenleben mit ihm sehr angenehm macht. Immer gut gelaunt und selbst beim Essen vor sich hin summend tat er sein bestes um mir die letzten etwas stressigen Wochen im Haus meiner Eltern zu erleichtern. Mit den anderen Helfern hat er sich sehr gut verstanden und seine… read more Freizeit nutzte er um sein deutsch zu verbessern. Als studierter Architekt überraschte er mich beim Abschied mit einer Skizze mit einer Idee für die Umgestaltung des Waldhauses. Ich hoffe Du kommst dann auch wieder um mir bei der Realisierung zu helfen! :-)
Vielen Dank für Alles und weiterhin alles Gute auf deinem Lebensweg.

Thank you for your help! Finally the first (almost) raw vegan workawayers!!! That´s so good to meet people who are on a similar way :-)
All the best for your road trip to Spain and see you on your way back.

I had a very good time with Rebecca and Robert, they where not only interested but also very helpful with all the different challenges she already mentioned in her feedback. Furthermore they helped me a lot to improve my english and Robert made us feel very comfortable in the evening when he played his guitar at the fireplace. When they left the… read more kitchen it was always cleaner than before and after work was done they helped also to clean up. They have a very good sense for humor and we had a lot to lough :-))) I already forgot again when I should not go to the dentist...it was something with two thirty... xaxaxax
Thank you so much for all and I hope you will enjoy the other places as well!

I'm so happy Álvaro came here as he suited perfect to this place. Right after his arrival with the train he joined me on a tour to pick some fruits, helped me cutting apples and cleaning up while chatting to get known to each other. He's very accurate in what he's doing and needs not to be called when there's something to help out. He has delicate… read more manners but no problems to get his hands dirty.
I hope I can manage it to come to Spain to help with the olives and look already forward to meet you again in my new house to test your carpenter skills!
Thanks so much for your help and hopefully see you soon :-)

Antonia came with her friends Emma and Sienna and was the energetic part of the ensemble, very strong and fast, always up to go outside and do something. She is well educated, interested and open for new experiences. Thanks so much for your help, thanks to you the collection of nuts should be enough for the winter!!!

Two very energetic girls who are interested in the raw food and open to try new things. Although they had no experience in gardening they did a good job and helped with quite hard work. Without many words they convince with their lifestyle and happy mood. I'm already looking forward to see them again, to show them the results of the work in the… read more garden and to join them on the tours they did with the bikes as I was too focused in the garden work and forgot about the surrounding nature during the time they stayed here.

It was Jakob-Julius first workaway place and he did a very good job! He was always around with a smile on his face and got more and more independently the longer he stayed. Even after standing up at half past five in the morning and helping me out with the market he was not tired to help when there was more to do in the afternoon.
I enjoyed his… read more happy and talkative mind and can recommend him to people who look for company but also where is a lot to do as he gets never tired to help a lot.

Martin is very interested in the traditional way of living, building and gardening, has very good ideas for easy solutions and is always open for experiments. He helped me a lot in the garden with preparing the beds and sowing the seeds he brought me from Argentinia.
In the evening he played the guitar or we tried to imrove our language skills.… read more It was a very relaxing time with him and I hope we can meet again!

Timm was very helpful, worked a lot and made the best of this place. He did a very good job with the heavy concrete slabs (stones for a path) and other hard work in the garden. Also with building he has a good hand and he never looked the time and helped me whenever I was doing something. In the beginning it was hard for me to understand his… read more Australian accent, but we did the best and loughed a lot. The next time we can start already on the next level!!!

Andrea is a very conscientious worker and pleasant flatmate. When he's doing something he makes it proper and takes his time. I hope to see you soon again, the strawberries are already with flowers!

I'm so happy that Nina liked the place and got inspired to make some beautiful paintings and weaving. She helped me a lot in the garden and made some delicious dishes. Thanks a lot for your help and company.
I hope too to see you again! :-)

Kevin ist ein wahrer Allrounder: ohne es gelernt zu haben widmet er sich gewissenhaft den verschiedensten Tätigkeiten und lernt schnell ohne viel Anweisungen zu brauchen. Nüsse knacken, Erdbeeren verpflanzen, Holz einschichten, Erde ausheben, Waschbetonplatten verlegen, nichts war ihm zu stupide oder zu schwer, immer bereit zu helfen, egal wie… read more viel Stunden wir schon gearbeitet haben. Auch das nasskalte graue Winterwetter konnte seine gute Laune nicht verderben und sein Aufenthalt krönte er mit einer Reihe von rohköstlichen Gerichten. Dank ihm war von einer Winterdepression nichts zu spüren und großzügig behandelte er jeden, der von seinen heilerischen Fähigkeiten profitieren wollte.

Kevin is a workawayer as I expect them: interested in everything, without begging always a helping hand in a good mood, self-reliant in everything he´s doing, fast learner and good for everything in and around the house. I hope to see him again! :-)

Lotta and Udo did a great job arranging all the games, collected tons of walnuts and helped in the garden. Thank you so much for all!! I hope the next time you can stay longer and have another attempt with the vegan raw food ;-)

A young boy full of energy, deep thoughts and music! Always willing to do something, and work was never to much for him.

I hope the next time we´ll manage it to do more music together! ;-)
All the best for you and I hope you got some inspirations for your own garden.

I'm new as a host and had so much luck to meet Michal and Susanna, they are perfect for this place, helped me a lot in the garden without looking for the time, self-dependent, confidential and faithful.
I hope to see you soon again!

Joey was my first helper and it was a very good one. He helped me watering the garden and built a stabil roof on his own for the tomatoes. We had a good time together and with the other workawayers. I'm looking forward to see you again!
