Even though Laura only stayed for a few days in July due to a family emergancy she left such a positiv impact due to her open and cheerful spirit and her willingnes to do all sort of jobs in and around the house and in the garden. She knows a lot about chicken, and her ability to make a lovely meal with whatever ingredients are around made supper … read more

I stayed with Tatjana for a few days and it felt like a whole month because we did so many things and I enjoyed so much! I had planned to stay much longer but unfortunately, something unexpected happened back home and I had to leave!

Tatjana’s place is magical if you like Nature. It is also a good lesson in off-grid living, and how it is both … read more

I spent a month at Perditas and enjoyed it very much. The house is a little paradise, clean, spacious and light. The garden is lush and a pleasure to work in. And Perdita is a great host: friendly, caring and fun. We had meals together, and I also had plenty of time for myself to explore the beautiful area: lots of cycle paths to reach even the … read more

Laura was such a big help and such a nice companion! The mistress of the nettles erased a lot of them (and we really have a lot ;-)) Like: "Oh, there is a door behind the elderberry and the grapes!" she was much braver than we are in cutting unnecessary branches and twigs. What a relief! And also her cooking was so great! Nice company, nice talks … read more

I stayed with Sue and Wolfgang for 2 weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They are very easy going to live with and ever so loving…I felt at home from the start! There is a lot to do in their big garden and you do it at your own pace. We shared the cooking and enjoyed many meals together. Crowley the cat is super sweet and cool. As well as working … read more

Laura war einige Wochen bei mir. Ihre freundliche Art hat jeden verzaubert, der mit ihr Kontakt hatte.
Im Haus und Garten war sie sehr hilfreich. Ihre besondere Liebe galt dem verwilderten Garten. Sie hat ihn in ein kleines Paradies verwandelt.
Vielen, vielen Dank, liebe Laura.
Jeder kann sich glücklich schätzen, wenn Laura kommt.
Ich wünsche ihr … read more

This was my first Workaway experience, and I am happy to say it was very positive and pleasant. Rita is a wonderful host, and I felt at home from start to end. I spent a month in her cosy comfortable house. My German was very poor, and she helped me a great deal, we read from lovely interesting books together everyday, we went to a variety of … read more
