We had a wonderful Belgian experience in Dendermonde. They are a very kind and friendly family that gives you a warm welcome from the first moment. Together with Maia and Maarten, we painted an office; we installed lamps and fixed some cupboards. Another day, we assembled a trampoline for the children in the garden. We also enjoyed cooking dinners… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Angelina )

Angelina is a very kind young woman, open-minded, willing to work and getting on well with children. In the beginning of the period - it was the first workaway-experience - she seemed a bit uncertain about communicating with the kids; however we saw a quick evolution and she felt at ease with us and the children and viceversa.
We will welcome you… read more

The work was never… read more

Being together with Sara was a marvelous experience. It felt immediately as if she was a part of the family. Our children loved her very much, she made contact with everyone. It was nice when she played on the piano, like we had a concert every day!
She helped us enormously with the work in the house: much painting, cleaning up the garden and… read more

Thank you Kai-Wen,
It was nice to learn to know you. Sometimes it was difficult to understand eachother and that was really funny.
Actually, we were surprised that you left suddenly earlier than planned. Our children loved to see you to say goodbye.
You worked hard, thanks for everything!
