Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Margaret was a wonderful host and included me in a number of activities with her and her family. I enjoyed my time and was glad to be able to spend time in both Nairobi and Machako. Margaret was very busy during the time I was there and there was another workawayer there for part of the time that I was there which made things even busier. Plans were often changed at the last moment and I felt that I would have been more useful if I had been there at a time when Margaret was less busy and my time was more structured. None the less, I had wonderful opportunities to be involved in the community and learn so much about local life in Nairobi.

We had the pleasure of hosting Markus for five weeks, and honestly, he was an absolute joy to have in our home. He was always respectful of our space and house rules, and communication with him was super easy. Every evening he would kindly ask about the plan for the next day, which made everything run so smoothly, especially during our busy schedule. He worked really hard, especially helping my parents on their farm, and always with a great attitude and a smile. No matter the task, he was willing, positive, and gave his best. He also kept everything clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. Beyond the work, he brought such a warm, happy, and relaxed vibe into our home. He connected so nicely with my parents, treated them with genuine respect, and they truly loved having him around. We highly recommend Markus to any future hosts. Markus thank you so much with your presiouw help!! we are waiting to visit us and would happily host you and Annette anytime.

Joelle and Jordan were my first hosts in Canada and I feel really lucky that I got to spend 5 weeks in their home! Tasks included feeding their cat (Touton is such a sweetheart!) and chickens, collecting eggs, house-sitting, shovelling snow and some cooking & cleaning. Cooking with Jordan was so fun and they are both incredibly generous and kind and make you feel so welcome and at home. Communicating with them prior to my arrival was always easy with a quick response time. Also, I got to experience my first time seeing the Northern Lights thanks to Joelle taking us out at midnight to the beaches and lighthouse which was a special highlight! I would highly recommend them as hosts to anyone who is making their way to Newfoundland and I can’t wait to make my way back soon as well! :)

I enjoyed my time with Lillian. She took good care of me and cooked meals and allowed me to choose my own schedule and choose the type of work that I wanted to do. I had shared my skills before I came and we agreed on the type of work I would do before I arrived. I really liked the neighbourhood. It had dirt roads and every morning a herd of cows walked down the road past the Umbuntu Community Based Organization. There were also lots of kids playing on the road and very little traffic. I enjoyed how peaceful the area was. I liked that her organization was well run and I felt that my time there was well used and had a positive impact on the organization. I would recommend this as a great place to have a workaway experience.

I had a really good time in Aitona. Fransesc was a very good and welcoming host. I felt at home and very comfortable staying in his house with my dog for almost two weeks. I also enjoyed hanging out and having very interesting conversations with you Fransesc, Thanks a lot for the stay and your hosting! Aitona salsa a cute little village, there are many nice walks and hikes around the village.

Thank you very much Mushfiq from South Africa for coming and staying with us. He collaborated very well with other volunteers during his stay with us at our community school and non-profit organization in Gomba district, Uganda! He is a humble young man and very hardworking, so positive and dedicated. The children loved him so much and played with him every time as he gave them positive energy. Thank you so much and you will always be welcomed back here.

Aidan has great kindness and an easy going attitude! He definitely has a team spirit! He loves to share(thanks again for the Kouin amann!) , help in any ways, talk, go towards people and check for their needs. With clear instructions and time he seemed happy to help everywhere!

Blaise is an absolute all star. We were so lucky to host her for 5 weeks during a snowy Newfoundland winter. She jumped in to help with everything we had on the go, from packing in wood for the stove and shovelling snow to vegetarian cooking, cleaning, and taking excellent care of our pets. She didn’t mind the stormy weather and collected eggs from our backyard coop every day, taking great care of our hens as well. Our house cat absolutely adored her. Blaise is incredibly kind, easy to live with, and brought such positive energy into our home. She was always up for a hike or a late night adventure to catch the northern lights. She also looked after the house and pets while we were away, and we trusted her completely. She’s responsible, caring, and truly someone you can rely on. We’d welcome her back anytime. A real gem.

I stayed for a month and loved it, the staff were amazing and I feltlike a part of the family very quickly. The food is fantastic, and you get a good discount on tours and activities. The work is pretty chill, just washing dishes or serving food. The accomodation isn't great, it's a small room with two single beds and no real furniture, but does the job as somewhere to sleep. Overall I'd really recommend, one of the highlights of my trip and made some great friends.

Ellen is a fantastic Workawayer to have here on the campo. She worked hard, was very motivated, and understood exactly what was needed in the garden. She is social and easy to get along with, while also taking her own time and space when needed. She worked with passion among the plants and cared for them with a lot of attention and love. It was a real pleasure having her here, and I would definitely recommend her to other hosts. She is always welcome back!

Chicas fue muy divertido y muy gratificante todo el tiempo que estuvieron en casa, las veo cada día en la sala de mi casa, ese hermoso mural que nos dejaron de regalo es muy bonito y todos los nuevos voluntarios los ven con admiración. Gracias por su ayuda, amor, colaboración y esfuerzo. Besos y abrazos por siempre

Hola Rodrigo y Marianita, paso por aquí agradeciendo por todo su apoyo a nuestro proyecto, por su presencia y todos los momentos compartidos, fue muy bonito verlos bailar en nuestra casa y saber de su decisión de compartir una vida juntos, gracias a su tiempo con nosotros y esperamos poder volver a encontrarnos, que puedan volver a visitarnos y nosotros a ustedes. Besos y abrazos y los mejores deseos para su hogar.

Anne and Berend were really great Workawayers to have as guests! They are friendly, relaxed, and very open and social. From the beginning, we immediately had a great connection. They picked up the work quickly and worked independently and with motivation. It was really enjoyable working with them, and they also brought a positive and pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely recommend them to other hosts, and they are always welcome back!

Michal joined us last minute and stayed for 7 days during a Newfoundland winter. She’s a fantastic vegetarian cook, adventurous, and always up for exploring. We did a cultural exchange for her photography skills, and she’s incredibly talented. She captured some beautiful shots for our band that we’ll treasure. Michal brought such positive, easygoing energy to our home and was an absolute joy to host. Our house cat loved spending time with her, which says a lot. You’d be very lucky to host her. She’s welcome back anytime.

Jess, Kelsy y Sunny, son Luz, sonido y ternura, durante el tiempo que compartimos disfruté ver a Jess enseñar a mi pequeña Valery perder el temor a las cuerdas y tocar sus primeros acordes en la guitarra, disfruté de cocinar con Sunny fue muy divertido, con Kelsy agradezco poder escucharme y abrir mi corazón con ella, fue liberador y encontré paz y equilibrio. Gracias por todo lo que hicieron por nosotras y nuestro proyecto,cada que veo a Valery aprender más temas en la guitarra agradezco a Dios por ustedes y por ponerlas en nuestro camino, amigas para siempre, hermanas del alma. Con amor y gratitud desde el bosque seco tropical de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Las extrañamos

I stayed for 1 week and it was an amazing experience. Sky and Carsten is really sweet and will teach you a lot of stuffs, also have amazing stories to tell. Its also in the middle of Berlin so its easy to explore the city.

Aline ci ha accolto in casa come se fossimo vecchie amiche . Come prima cosa la volevo ringraziare per l’accoglienza e per averci fatto sentire proprio come a casa in famiglia . Il lavoro è sempre stato equilibrato e si è sempre preoccupata di chiederci se stessimo bene o se il lavoro era troppo . Erano tutti compiti riguardanti la sua attività di agricoltore quindi aiuto nella preparazione dei campi di asparagi, aiuto nella pulizia dello stabile dedicato agli asparagi, alimentazione polli alimentazione galline . Stare con lei ci ha riportato all’importanza del contatto con la terra . La ringrazio per avermi portato in un mondo che è abbastanza lontano da quello che sono abituata a vedere . E la ringrazio per averci trasmesso i valori del suo lavoro e della sua vita . Super consigliata ovviamente se si vuole conoscere il territorio e quello che può offrire.

Fue muy hermosa la experiencia con Félix, todo un científico de la física, me encantaba verlo explicar a Pau las tareas escolares de temas tan importantes y que desconozco pero que me impresionaba y me gustaba aprender, serás un gran maestro de la física y química, estoy muy agradecida por la dedicación y esfuerzos de ambos por contribuir en el vivero, verlos en los vídeos de Clara fue muy divertido y muy gratificante, el compromiso que tuvieron por ayudar nuestras especies en peligro (Macurutú) gracias Félix y Soléne, ver el germinador lleno de tantas semillas germinadas conmovió mi corazón y lloré de emoción y felicidad.
