Heidi and Martin are truly soulhearted, caring, humorous and open minded beings.
It was a bliss working in the garden (especially after the raining season) and being among the joyful raczka sheeps. I have even got to experience the beginning of the haying season, which was physically exhausting, but nonetheless rewarding at the end of the day.… read more

Heidi and Martijn are such a great mentor and life inspiration. They are kind hearted, respectful, very open minded, and always ready for full energy activities!

This was my first Workaway, and I can't recommend Heidi and Martin's home/farm enough. They were incredibly patient, accommodating, and hospitable. Heidi's cooking was absolutely topnotch, and I was able to learn a lot about their way of life on the farm as well as the day-to-day of the village - certainly got the cultural exchange I was hoping… read more

The 10 days at Heidi and Martin's farm were my first stop in Hungary and I managed to learn some Hungarian phrases and a lot about history and culture. The food was just great, I could never get tired of the homemade pizza every other evening.
I came just in time to see several of the new-born lambs and they were just the cutest!

What should I say - Emil is a very nice, smart, interesting guy! The work he did was always well done, quick and good in quality. The animals loved him also a lot, he sang some chirstmassongs for the sheep, played with the dog and took care for the ducks. I enjoyed the conversations a lot and also the spirit, he brought in our home.

The two weeks on Heidi and Martin’s little farm was filled with a good variation of work, interesting conversation, healthy & tasty food and good relaxation. It was spot on for me, after two1/2 month on bicycle, also left the bike there for its winter sleep.

Sorry for the very late feedback. We stayed with Heidi and Martin for about 10 days at the end of August and had a great time.
