Left by host (Join my family for an ...) for Workawayer ()

Linda and her almost 17-year-old youngest daughter stayed with my parents and me for one full week. They arrived at the nearby airport, Hahn, from where they flew back to Ireland. Our surname is Irish, and my parents, I, and some of my younger siblings have been to Ireland several times.

I felt honoured to be Linda´s host during her 2nd visit to… read more Germany. Her first visit was when she was a few years older than her youngest daughter is now, whom she had with her on this special trip. Kara, the youngest of three sisters, is studying German and was keen to get to know Germany, just like her mother.

Bolth was very helpful, polite, asked good questions, listened to many stories, and had many interesting and exciting stories to tell. They worked three full days, keeping themselves busy with gardening, sewing, and scrubbing/cutting up many quinces, pumpkins, and carrots, which was an enormous help. On their first day in Königsau, we explored the area together and we noticed many walnuts along the stream at the end of our walk I mentioned it would be a good job to collect them during their stay, and Linda was excited to collect them for my family right away. We all got excited and collected a big bag of walnuts, partly lying under the beautiful autumn leaves. Luckily, we could explore the big pottery store the first day, which only opens Saturdays and Sundays.

After two full days of work, Linda and Cara explored an open-air museum about German life up to 800 years ago with 40 equipped historic buildings, which were taken apart from different small towns throughout the State of Rheinland-Pfalz and set together as a beautiful village. On a different day, they joined my father in Mainz and explored the museum that shows the first book printing machine Johannes Gutenberg invented, which made it possible to print the bible and other books. After looking at the huge cathedral, they headed to the neighbouring state capital, called Wiesbaden, where I have been living in a shared apartment I live at since almost ten years in a beautiful part of Wiesbaden. We had dinner here, and then my Dad picked him up after one of his last days at work at the youth center. Soon, my Dad will have more time to be the tour guide for our guests, or at least give many tips on what to see. I usually know how to get there with public transportation, but a phone with mobile data makes traveling very comfortable nowadays, which saves lots of time in planning.

I am looking forward to meeting Linda and Cara again and hope more of their family members will follow their good example and plan on using Workaway.info soon to explore more of this and other beautiful areas on their own, or all together. It was a great experience for me and my family to host Linda and Cara at the end of our Workaway season 2025. Every guest is like a present!
