Description
My name is Noda and I‘m from Germany. I'm a friendly, open minded person with usually good vibes who likes to enjoy the little things in life. I enjoy spending time in nature, go for a walk or a run in the forests or to just sit around and listen to music or spend time with my friends. Music is a big part of my life, I cant set one foot without it. That's why I started to play guitar but right now I'm still really bad at it ^^

I‘m interested in getting to know different cultures, making friends all over the world, doing all kinds of sports and make different working experiences and just having a nice time while enjoying the nature and the sun!

Left by Workawayer (Noda) for host (Help us with gardening and ...)

Its a really nice place and I learned a lot but unfortunately there were a few things I didnt like at all. My plan was to stay for 3 weeks. The first week was awesome and I learned a lot about woodwork - how to build platforms and stairs. The second week I only cleaned up which include carrying wood from one place to another which was pretty… read more boring. So I decided to leave after 2 weeks. But when I told Janina and Markus they almost threw me out. I was working for the whole week and worked longer then required so I thought that I could rest for the weekend and leave on the next monday (like all the other volunteers did). But they said that I had to leave right away because they already had new volunteers who arrive on sunday. Which was weird because they didnt mentioned the new workers until I asked to leave. They said that they arrive sunday in the afternoon so I asked if i could stay until sunday morning to get a little rest. They said no because they had to clean up the room... which was also strange because when I arrived my room was dirty and I had to hang up a curtain and put bed sheets on my blankets - which were also dirty. It really seemed that they were angry that I didnt fullfil my 3 weeks.
They other problem I had with this place was the food. I arrived on a monday and on thursday we had no stuff to eat for the morning/evening. We had plenty of food to eat for lunch - I guess because Markuns and Janina always ate with us when we had lunch. But for breakfast and dinner we had very few. #redacted text# I asked anyway because I didnt want to eat noodles or potatoes for breakfast. I sent them a whatsapp in the evening and asked for food. The next morning Markus brought some bread and really yelled at us for asking for food. He couldnt understand that we didnt want to eat stuff like noodles, rice and couscous for breakfast/dinner. It was really scary because when I work for free (and the work is not easy) I want at least a normal amount of food. I had mornings when the other volunteers had crackers with orange juice for breakfast because they didnt have the money to buy some stuff in the little city nearby. In the end I bought some food for me and the others but in my eyes thats not how a workaway should work!
Usually Janina and Markus were really nice (as long as you work on their terms) but #redacted text# I am sorry but I wouldnt go there again.

(Good )
