I volunteered here in early 2024 and enjoyed it very much. All my tasks where fully listed and relayed before I arrived. Nick and Alison's place is set in expansive Greenery with some of the best accommodation. I am from a similar part of the UK to Nick and Alison, so enjoyed their company both at work and socialising.

Christian came to stay with us in the Spring and was a really pleasant and knowledgable guy. He was happy to do all jobs we asked and brought lots of equipment with him. He was respectful, clean, tidy and completed everything well. We found initially communication face to face a little difficult but as we all relaxed this improved no end. We would… read more

Thanks! The Mosel valley tured out to be a popular beauty spot for tourists visiting Germany. I requested to volunteer with Ralph and Birgit for the hiking trails and found the trip well worth it.

Christian is a very calm and polite person. He is happy to do bigger jobs and does them independently. He thinks about what he‘s doing, makes polite suggestions and researches open questions online. Sorting out dates etc. was very easy with him. The communication is precise, clear and fast, which made arrangements very easy. He is quiet around the… read more

Nancy and Vincent are engaging and enthusiastic hosts. The time there was productive and I learned a lot about some really old properties. In the end I stayed for five weeks longer than I expected. Two months disappeared in the Quiet working environment of their garden puttying the windows on the manior. Cool running, hiking and biking trails.… read more

Christian stayed with us for over 2 months. He did excellent work, painting and gardening. He re-caulked all of the windows in the manoir, sealed and repainted them, a monumental task. He was also terrific in clearing growth off of the 500 year old wall surrounding the property whilst restoring what he could of the wall. He also repaired our 13… read more

It was a pleasure to spend some time with the hosts here. They requested me while I was nearby. I worked outside in a beautiful location, and an interesting renovation.

Christian spent a month with us in the early spring of 2024. He is a very modest man who does not say much. Christian has done a lot of work for us. He is extremely strong and has cleared a lot of construction rubble and also done other heavy lifting work. He also worked in our gardens where he could operate the brush cutter for long periods of… read more

Christian is not the type of workawayer who will cost you more time and energy than he gives you. He will actually help you take a few steps forward. He was here with us for 10 days, he helped us paint a room, lay part of a floor, and clear a field. He took the jobs seriously and helped us out quite nicely. The paint job he did was neat and tidy.… read more

Christian was our first hosting experience and it was great!
He was here 3 weeks in summer 2023. He made a perfect "job". The weather was really hot in this time, but he organized his time and work perfectly. All my projects get better with his help. It was a great time, and we'll be happy if we see him again. Christian is always welcome here!

It is in a quiet place with wide countryside just one hundred meters from the flat, forests, rivers and fields for hiking. Work was gardening, renovation repair, some horse care and… read more
