This feedback is quite late and is about my experience in fall of 2019!

I appreciated several things about my time with Ali and everyone here! People were very flexible and I was given a clear overview that the tasks might be mostly office based and that there would be few canyoning trips for me to attend because of the low season. I appreciated… read more

I was with these people for 2 weeks in July 2018. Although the minimum stay is one month, they had a gap in their schedule and let me stay! I had a great time helping the guides in the canyoning! I also helped out with social media stuff and office work. The apartment in Amman is good and getting around Amman is pretty cheap as well! I recommend… read more

I had a great time! I loved going on the canyoning trips in Jordan's beautiful Wadis (valleys) and the apartment in Amman is very nice. The canyoning guides and all of the office staff (especially Rund) are super nice. When you come, be prepared to work a lot but Jordan is wonderful and definitely worth it.

We loved having Louise work for us this summer! She was a great assistant guide and worked very hard in the office. She brings so much positivity to every thing she does. She would be very valuable to any workaway host. Best of luck Louise!

Quentin was a wonderful assistant guide and office worker this summer. He was great in the canyons and would be perfect for any outdoor/sports related workaway experience. His English skills also made him very helpful in the office. Thanks for coming Quentin, any workaway host would be lucky to have you in the future.

My experience here was great. Since my arrival, I felt like part of the team and not like a working pals feeling, but more like family. Work was versatile, office during the week and trips normally in the weekends. I got to discover and explore Jordan from the inside and got to know really unique and beautiful places. If needed anything or had any… read more

First of all, thank you guys for this amazing time.
We are still here (since one month, have another one now) but we already miss you. You welcomed us so warmly and we felt confortable from the first day at the office also at home.

We share our appartment with 2 locals and 2 volunteers. Hakam and Hazem are showing us everything in Amman. It`s… read more so nice to have someone who really cares about you. We already feel like family. The room is nice and it`s superclose to our working place.

Also the people in the office are very kind and helpful. We feel like they really want to show us their beautiful country. At first we were a little bit surprised about the work. We were supposed to work 5 days in the office. So we were talking to Ali (the owner), because we are sporty people and we were really expecting working on the field in the wadis. So it was not that clear in advance. But Ali wanted us to be happy and decided we could go on the trips.
Now we are working for 3 days on the trips, 2 days in the office and 2 days we have off time. That`s a perfect mix!

The guides on the trips where we help are funny guys. They just speak some words in english, sometimes none, but it goes on pretty fine. The most of the clients are locals, they are really nice and open minded to our culture. We often share contacts with them. It goes quite easy to make friends here.

We were very surprised about the open minded people around us. We go for frisbee every sunday evening with the people of the office and a lot of others. We have good chats, we laught a lot and we are enjoying our times.

Of course not everything is perfect, but if you come to another country you need to be open for it. It`s always different than at home, but that`s also what you want when go for a journey.
To mention some things we don`t like; people don`t care that much about the clean environment, we are very sad how they handle the rubbish. Also they smoke a lot and everywhere. And aircondition everywhere (colder than winter in switzerland) ;-). Sometimes we don`t understand the guides fast enough and we feel a little bit helpless then, but we think it`s not a problem for them at all.

Last but not least, we made the right decision to come here. The country is beautiful, we can explore it in a very nice way, people are awesome and Ali is a really nice boss. Thank you!!!

i had very good holidays. loads of lovely memories and different experience. I've spend 17 days in Ali's place, where i've felt very warmly welcomed. Ali did not "overload" with work, so it were real holidays! good company and nice environment - something to remember for a lifetime.
