I stayed with Jamila and her family for about 10 days. I really enjoyed my time there, the work was not too difficult, and Jamila is very easy going and laid back. My tasks consisted of clearing out the stables, weeding and occasionally more ad hoc tasks like preparing a chicken coop. The house is in a lovely location near a village called… read more

Geordie was with us for almost two weeks. During his stay there was also a family with us and sometimes there was a lot of hustle and bustle with us. Geordie has a calm demeanor and, perhaps because of that, has blended in wonderfully with the hustle and bustle. He always did his job reliably. He is always looking for work. That was great.

Jamila, Eliah, Jamiro and Paul are wonderful hosts! They are kind and achieve a great balance between welcoming participation in their life and offering one privacy if that is desired. They are also very flexible - I arrived rather last-minute and wanted to speak primarily German during my stay and neither of those things seemed to bother them at… read more

I arrived at Jamila and Paul's house in early December with the intention of staying a month (they then became 3). Right from the start I was welcomed as one more member of the family and the relationship with their sons Eliah and Jamiro was also immediately spontaneous.

Es war mein erster Workaway-Einsatz und ich war ein bisschen aufgeregt. Dank Jamilia und ihrer Familie waren meine Sorgen sehr schnell verflogen. Die Kommunikation war von Anfang an reibungslos und zuverlässig. Die freundliche, offene Familie machte es mir leicht, mich willkommen zu fühlen. Ganz entspannt und natürlich wurde ich von Jamila und… read more Paul in den Familienalltag mit den beiden lieben Jungs integriert. Es war eine Freude für mich, dort zu sein. Ich bin sehr dankbar für das in mich gesetzte Vertrauen. Mein Zimmer mit Bad im Anbau stand für mich bereit und Jamilia zeigte mir geduldig die anfallenden Arbeiten und meine Fragen wurden stets beantwortet. Auch die tierischen Bewohner des idyllisch gelegenen Hofes machten es mir leicht, mich wohl zu fühlen. Kuscheln und scherzen mit der verspielten Hündin Macey oder das Zusammensein mit den durchweg braven Pferden, die mir nur mit kleinen Streichen meine Unerfahrenheit zeigten und mich nicht selten damit zum Lachen brachten.
Zu meinen Aufgaben gehörte es, morgens den Stall auszumisten, abends die Koppel von Pferdemist zu befreien, die Pferde zu füttern und im Haus mitzuhelfen, z.B. die Spülmaschine auszuräumen, staubsaugen, kochen oder bei der Zubereitung von Mahlzeiten zu helfen. Ich konnte mich nach meinen Möglichkeiten einbringen. Wir haben uns immer unkompliziert und spontan auf das geeinigt, was gerade gebraucht wurde. Von Jamila konnte ich viel über die Pferde, ihren individuellen Charakter und ihre Bedürfnisse sowie über ihre Ausbildung lernen. In meiner Freizeit habe ich es genossen, durch den malerischen Buchenwald, der das Haus umgibt, zu wandern oder einfach nur auf dem Hof in der Sonne zu sitzen und die Atmosphäre zu genießen. Der Abschied von dieser wunderbaren Truppe fiel mir schwer und ich hoffe, dass ich alle Bewohner des schönen Hofes wiedersehen werde. Ich bin sehr dankbar für die Zeit, die wir zusammen verbracht haben und kann einen Aufenthalt bei Jamila und ihrer Familie nur empfehlen.

English:
It was my first workaway assignment and I was a bit excited. Thanks to Jamilia and her family, my worries evaporated very quickly. Communication was smooth and reliable right from the start. The friendly, open family made it easy for me to feel welcome. I was integrated into the family's everyday life with the two adorable boys in a very natural and relaxed way. It was a pleasure for me to be there. I am very grateful for the trust placed in me. My room with bathroom in the annex was ready for me and Jamilia patiently showed me the work to be done and my questions were always answered. The animal inhabitants of the idyllically situated farm also made it easy for me to feel at home. Cuddling and joking with the playful dog Macey or being with the all well-behaved horses, who only showed me my inexperience with little pranks.
My tasks included mucking out the stable in the morning, clearing the paddock of horse manure in the evening, feeding the horses and helping out in the house, e.g. cleaning out and putting away the dishwasher, vacuuming, cooking or helping to prepare meals. I was able to contribute according to my possibilities. We always agreed on what was needed in an uncomplicated and spontaneous way. I was able to learn a lot from Jamila about the horses, their individual character and needs, as well as about their training. In my free time, I enjoyed walking through the picturesque beech forest that surrounds the house or just sitting in the sun on the farm and enjoying the atmosphere. It was hard for me to say goodbye to this wonderful troupe and I hope to see all the residents of the beautiful farm again. I am very grateful for the time we spent together and can only recommend a stay with Jamila and her family.
