Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Da cosa posso cominciare? Freya è una persona splendida, sempre disponibile ad aiutare, sorridente e attenta. Aiuta a cucinare, mi ha aiutata con le bimbe, mi ha aiutata con la casa e con Baghera e Elsa, si è presa cura di loro quando siamo mancati per una settimana per le vacanze. Abbiamo spesso mangiato, chiacchierato e riso assieme. è stata veramente parte della famiglia partecipando a tutte le attività di famiglia, anche il coro della domenica per la processione di Pasqua. Ci mancherà la sua compagnia

I stayed with Tanya for around 3 and a 1/2 weeks, i had a super fun time. I had plenty of time off to go and explore fort worth, and other stuff i wanted to do. We also went out to her country house in east texas a bunch of times, it's so pretty out there on the lake, i met some of Tanyas friends and they are all so lovely it was a great experience overall. Tanya was always looking out for me, we had some great and meaningful conversations, and i can't wait to come back!!

Gracias Mari, Aldo, Pau & Valerie por una experiencia muy linda y auténtica. Pasé una semana con esta familia encantadora. Su proyecto es muy inspirador. Mediante este voluntariado, contribuirás a la restauración de un ecosistema en peligro que, si bien es vital, a menudo se subestima y es poco conocido. María irradia calidez y alegría. Conversar con ella mejorará tu español y tu conocimiento de la cultura local. Disfruté mucho su comida casera, a la que le dedica mucho cariño y esfuerzo. Aldo es paciente y tiene un conocimiento extraordinario de la flora local. Pau y Valerie son excepcionalmente creativas, además de divertidas y carismáticas. Es bueno saber que compartirás un espacio bastante pequeño con la familia y otros voluntarios (aunque cuando yo me alojé era el único voluntario, así que dormía sola). Esto significa, sin embargo, que te sentirás parte de la familia. Al dar paseos al final de la tarde, encontré rincones tranquilos en el bosque donde poder disfrutar de un espacio más privado con brisa en la naturaleza, algo que es importante para mí. Prepárense para unos mosquitos bastante feroces—los peores que hasta ahora he encontrado aquí en Colombia. Para trabajar era necesario usar pantalones largos. Disfruté del trabajo —regar y trasplantar arbolitos—que me resultó relajante. También me ofrecí a ayudar a Mari y Aldo una noche a sacrificar pollos—una experiencia aleccionadora. Gracias y mucha suerte con el proyecto ♥

I stayed with Sara and Daryl for two months. They are such lovely people! I encourage anyone who stays with them to ask a million questions. Ask about their lives, about the house, and anything else that interests you. I also recommend that you get involved in the community. Common Ground is full of great people. I enjoyed participating in Workdays, going to ukelele on Sundays, and attending game night. If you're up for it, consider going to a Contra dance. Check out the hiking trails as well. I felt comfortable staying with them in the house. There's a wonderful little dog named Echo who brought a lot of joy to my days. Some meals are together and others are on your own. The kitchen is well-stocked, and I always enjoyed my meals. I stayed in the room upstairs and can definitely recommend it to anyone of short stature. The work varies day to day. The tasks related to the ducks and geese are pretty simple. Most of the work I did was outdoors. A lot of weeding. I did some organizational tasks as well, such as organizing the shed and creating a list of Sara's seeds. None of it was especially long or difficult. They truly care that you have a good experience.

Our stay at the Farm was amazing. Melanie is a very open-hearted and kind woman. This was our First workaway experience and we couldnt have asked for a better host. She always made sure that we were well taken care of and introduced us to her lovely friends.

This was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start. I stayed with Liza, Luke, and their family for 3 weeks and felt at home from the beginning. They’re kind, open-minded, and very patient in helping me improve my English. They were also very understanding when my flight was canceled and I had to stay a few extra days. It’s a peaceful place, with a beautiful lake (if you like kayaking, you’re going to love it!) and, of course, the cutest animals — Nyxie and Vesper. I also enjoyed having my own space and privacy. The work was mostly cleaning, sweeping, and working in the woods — cutting trees and clearing paths. I’ll remember the great moments: board games, guitar with Ivy, and the ska show with Liza. Thank you for everything — highly recommended!

Alizée stay with us during 1.5 month it was an awesome experience for us to know alizée, after more then a months with us I have the possibility to let Alizée in charge and responsable to manage the surfhouse for few days alone with some other volunteers. She was is charge of divers task in the house. cooking breakfast, housekeeping, decorating the house with nice draw. It was really nice to have her with us . I wish you a good travel.

Bitten and her daughter Sara joined us during January 2024 for a period of 4 weeks. They had a very valuable contribution to our farm, especially with their help with the horses and general management of our stables. Furthermore, they had excellent relationships with our other team members. Overall we have had a very positive and useful experience.

Klara and Mike spent about 12 days with me. They are a lovely couple and very interesting to talk with. I just gave them a list of some tasks and they worked really well – didn’t need any direction, just got on with it. They did a lot more work than I expected, and were self-motivated and organised. They did some painting in the house (it was really hot weather) and lots in my garden, including taking the green waste to the tip. I have no hesitation in recommending them as Workawayers and would welcome them back any time. I hope to see them again later in the year if they return to WA. Thanks so much Klara and Mike for all your help.

Sam stay with us during 3 weeks and she extend for one more week. She's a really nice person who has a lot of respect for the people around her. At the surfcamp the was really flexible, doing yoga clases, housekeeping, cooking the breakfast and some time as many she was going for a would with my daughter of 1 years old. Thank you Sam to stay and share with us. Patrice

Francesca is a very sweet empathetic person who genuinely wanted to help me out which I really appreciate as a single mother. me and my son uruz were happy to make a new friend

Brooke and friends needed a last minute stay till their next host and were with us a few nights. During the time they were a great help with some bigger chores and did a splendid job. And even tho it was hard work they kept on smiling. We had some lovely conversations, they are both interesting and interested. Brooke is kind and gentle and Morgan energetic and full of ideas. They have great skills and I would recommend them as helpers.

Bella and Sam stayed at my place a bit more than a month helping walking my dog. March is one of the busiest periods so their help was such a life saver. We are so lucky to have them. Unfortunately i could spend much time due to my working hours but it was absolutely comfortable for me to have them at my place. Crosby also love them a lot. If you’re reading this to consider whether to host them or not. Don’t hesitate to say yes. They will be always welcome at my place. Please feel free to visit anytime.

She was not just a worker, but truly like a member of our family. During her stay, we had people from various parts of Asia working together Yang Yang from China, jeongmin from Korea, Yujia from China, and Ayane from Japan. It really felt like a gathering of East Asia, with one Finnish member, Päivikki, joining us. But she got along with everyone so naturally, and whenever Päivikki was around, there was always laughter. She is incredibly hardworking. Without being told, she would wash the dishes and always keep the kitchen spotless. We have hosted nearly 300 people so far, but Päivikki was the first person who would prepare our futons for us before we went to sleep without ever being asked. Whenever I was cooking, she would stand beside me and help, and after meals she would actively help with washing dishes and cleaning up. When Päivikki was at home, we could relax and trust her with everything. She has a slightly unique personality, in a good way. We played UNO together almost every day, and she has her own particular quirks and never bends her way of doing things. Also, no matter what rice dish it was curry or bibimbap she would always put sesame dressing on it lol. Funny, right? But that’s part of what makes her who she is. We were truly lucky to have Päivikki come to us. It’s been a long time since we met someone who gave us such a deep sense of comfort and trust. She can handle anything with ease, is full of kindness, and always anticipates what others need and acts on it. Yesterday, Yang Yang came to visit for just one day, and it felt like we had gone back to the days when Päivikki and Yang Yang worked together. It was such a wonderful time. Thank you for such a dreamlike time. I’m sure I’ll cry when you leave. But please, definitely come back again. We’ll be looking forward to it.

En français: C’était mon premier Workaway et cela a largement dépassé mes attentes. Ils sont venus me chercher à la gare de Macau le soir de mon arrivée et m’ont emmené(e) à Blanquefort. Dès le début, ils ont été très gentils et attentionnés avec moi. Ils m’ont également invité(e) à passer du temps avec leurs amis, tous très sympathiques. Leur fille Mila est aussi adorable. De plus, ils parlent très bien anglais et aident volontiers avec le français, ce qui est un vrai plus si vous apprenez la langue. Dans l’ensemble, c’est une famille charmante qui vit dans un endroit très agréable, spacieux et confortable. Des vélos sont disponibles si besoin, et ils respectent votre espace ainsi que votre liberté. Les tâches sont clairement expliquées dès le départ. Je reviendrais sans hésitation et je recommande vivement cette expérience. Reseña en español ue mi primer Workaway y superó ampliamente mis expectativas. Fueron a recogerme a la estación de tren de Macau la noche de mi llegada y me llevaron a Blanquefort. Desde el primer momento fueron muy amables y atentos conmigo. Me invitaron a compartir tiempo con sus amigos, todos muy agradables. Su hija Mila también es muy linda. Además, hablan muy bien inglés y te ayudan con el francés, lo cual es un gran plus si estás aprendiendo el idioma. En general, es una familia encantadora y viven en un lugar muy bonito, espacioso y cómodo. También disponen de bicicletas si las necesitas, y respetan tu espacio y tu libertad. Las tareas están bien explicadas y son claras desde el principio. Sin duda volvería y lo recomiendo totalmente.

Tuvimos la oportunidad de compartir una semana con Eva y fue una experiencia muy positiva 😊 Desde el primer momento se mostró amable, respetuosa y con una actitud muy abierta hacia todo lo que hacíamos en el proyecto. Es una persona muy dispuesta a ayudar, siempre con interés en aprender y en involucrarse en las tareas diarias. Disfruta mucho de los pequeños momentos del día a día, lo cual encaja perfectamente con la dinámica de la vida en la granja y con los animales, especialmente con las llamas 🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🚶‍♀️ Además, es muy fácil convivir con ella. Su energía positiva y curiosidad por nuevas experiencias hicieron que su estadía fuera muy agradable, aprendí mucho de sus aventuras! La recomendamos totalmente a cualquier anfitrión que esté buscando a alguien responsable, colaborador y con buena actitud. Espero verte pronto!! 🏔️🦙🍍

Me encantó mi tiempo en la estancia de Ricardo. El lugar es increíblemente hermoso y Ricardo es un excelente y amable anfitrión, con muchas historias para compartir. El trabajo fue interesante (construimos una estructura para paneles solares) y hubo tiempo de sobra para relajarse y hacer senderismo. Lo recomiendo mucho! I loved my time at Ricardo’s Estancia. The place is incredibly beautiful and Ricardo is an excellent and kind host, with many stories to share. The work was interesting (we built a structure for solar panels) and there was plenty of time to relax and go hiking. I recommend it highly!

The original plan was for Lucy to stay for two weeks, but in the end she stayed for almost two months. During that time, we sailed from Malta to Greece, with a brief one-week stop in Sicily, Italy. Lucy had no previous sailing experience before arriving on the boat, yet she handled a 48-hour passage in 30 to 40 knots of wind remarkably well. I asked her several times whether she was afraid, but she never was. Lucy helped me a great deal with organizing the boat and keeping everything clean. She took excellent care of the boat, and her presence brought a warm and pleasant atmosphere on board. Thank you for staying with me on the boat I truly had a great time. I hope you learned a lot during your time here, and I am sure you did. I hope to see you again sometime, because you are always very welcome to come back.

I spent (almost!!) two months with Daniel, and every minute was an incredible experience. Daniel’s patience, kindness, and passion for sailing and creating a positive environment is more than evident in every way. There is always a great balance between work and free time, with rewarding and enjoyable work, in which I learnt various new skills, especially related to sailing and boat maintenance. I cannot recommend Daniel enough as a workaway host for anyone open minded and seeking an unforgettable experience - thank you again!!! <3

Namaste! I am so happy to host Maria. She is such a wonderful lady who understands everything about workawayers role. We have had so amazing times together in Dhulikhel. I’m so thankful and appreciating her support for our community. I really like to recommend her for other hosts around the world. Thank you so much.
