Writing a feedback remembering the best moments of a Workaway experience is always emotionally difficult. I wished that the beautiful time spent with Sophia would never end. After the first email, in spring, an intense exchange in writing and verbally began between us. I immediately realised that Sophia would be the perfect workaway for me. Sophia… read more is one of the most reliable, serious, educated, sweet, responsible and honest people I've ever met, her sweetness touches the heart deaply. Together we spent almost a month in Matera. I tried to show her as much of my city, as possible welcoming her into my family was a pleasure. With her I always felt at ease, calm and safe in the street, Sophia was my eyes. I will happily remember the excellent ice creams enjoyed on these long and hot summer afternoons, the walks, the deep conversations we had together. I was impressed by the dedication and love shown for Italy, its art and music. It was a great pleasure to share my huge love for the Opera with her, together we were able to participate in an opera recital, listen and see the most beautiful creations of our most famous composers: Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi and Puccini. We spent three weeks in perfect harmony. A person sensitive to Beauty and with an artistic soul, it is not uncommon to read her reflections on what she saw and experienced. For this splendid and very sweet girl, I have only words full of esteem and gratitude for what she transmitted and gave me. I tried as much as possible to help her with learning Italian, a language that Sophia has been studying with unshakeable enthusiasm for only six months. For this I certainly commend her commitment and great ability to speak the language on a daily basis. I am sure that over time she will be able to improve more and more in the development of her skills.
Sophia is an excellent workawayer, the best you could ever wish for: educated, good, kind, very sensitive and discreet. I thank her for having patiently lived through some complicated situations, which required a spirit of adaptability. I am also grateful that. she gave me freedom. In her company we organized our days in the best possible way and I was able to walk freely, which I cannot always do here in Matera due to lack of assistance. Thanks to Workaway I was able to meet beautiful people like her, a friend to whom I wish the best for the future and with whom I know I will be able to collect many other beautiful moments. This experience is over, but we will see each other again, I'm sure.

My sojourn in Matera with Paola was my first experience with Workaway. From the very first minute on when I arrived in Matera, I felt welcomed by her and her family. Paola is an amazing person. She is kind, self-confident and very intelligent. Her knowledge of opera is so profound and inspiring that she made me enter the world of music from her… read more
