We hosted Flynn for two weeks and can absolutely recommend him to any future host. He’s a reliable, cheerful and open minded person and he adapted quickly to our daily routine.
Flynn mainly helped us with pruning trees in our backyard but also with chopping firewood (even though it was January and rather cold). On top of that he helped with some

So, if you get the chance to have him as a workawayer you won’t be disappointed!!

This was my first workaway, and It could not have been a better first experience, Karina and Volker are really some of the most generous and welcoming people I have ever met, from day one I felt at home, and the next two weeks were absolutely amazing.

We had the pleasure to host Grace for almost three weeks and we can only recommend her to every future host.

So, even though we had favorited male workawayers for this job, with Grace’s

On top of all these great skills Grace was very easy going and it was lovely to have her around. So, if you are lucky enough and Grace contacts you for a stay – do not hesitate to offer her a stay!
Thank you for everything, Grace! Hope to see you again one day!

Karina and Volken are very nice and welcoming people. They took me to Lübeck to visit the city and Scharbeutz, we went to visit Karina's brother who is a few blocks away from Karina and Volken's house and we also went for a walk with Volken in the surroundings with his tractor.

Pablo stayed with us for 10 days in early May.
We were really thankful for Pablo to come to our place. We had some renovation projects going on and he assisted us with various tasks.

In general he is a hard worker and isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty.
We had lots of talks about life in Germany and Chile and we learned a lot about the country and about Patagonia in particular.
Communication was easy and responsive. Unfortunately we had to let him go a little bit earlier due to personal commitments on his side. We really appreciated the time he spent with us as well as the work he did.
Pablo, if you want to come back one day, you are more than welcome!!Comentarios

We definitely enjoyed the time Valentine spent with us. She adapted quickly to our daily routine and pitched in when help was needed doing all types of household chores.

We had a variety of work we needed help with. Even though Valentine didn’t have much experience in

Valentine ticks all boxes of a perfect workawayer. And if you want to make her happy just cook a Swiss cheese fondue 😉
In addition to her very positive work attitude she is very well organised and reliable and for the time she spent with us she was a great company. So, don’t hesitate if Valentine enquires for a stay with you!
Thanks so much, Valentine!!

Volker and Karina you are wonderful hosts! I spent three wonderful weeks with you. The atmosphere is always warm, pleasant and welcoming.

Evanne is a beautiful young lady, willing to help with any of the jobs that is asked of her. She is a great worker and very reliable.

What a great help they were! Cassie & Alex stayed with us for two weeks in January and they helped us getting our firewood home from the forest. Even though they weren’t used to the temperatures in winter they worked hard and went out every day. Cassie assisted in some (indoor) painting as well and did a great job!
We had long conversations at

So, it was very easy to have them around and they were integrating well. They were honest, quiet and clean and we can absolutely recommend them to all hosts.
Thank you so much Cassie & Alex for your help, your lovely dinner and we’d love to welcome you back one day!

Alex and I (Cassie) stayed with Karina and Volker for two weeks during January 2023, winter! This was our very first Workaway and we think they have set the bar extremely high! We were greeted with open arms, feeling like we had known them forever. The house is wonderful, warm and our room was spacious and private. The food, was amazing! Volker

They provided bikes for us to use and we went on a daily ride around the town with them but they also drove us to new places and told us where we could spend our free time. Dinner was always lovely, with a wine/beer and really good conversations, we could talk for hours! Overall, it was an amazing stay and we hope to stay in contact with Karina and Volker for a very long time!

Lorenzo stayed with us for two weeks. He was such a fantastic help with various tasks!

The conversations we had at the dinner table were interesting and enjoyable. It was again a great

I stayed at Volker and Karina’s for two weeks, and it has been such a wonderful time!

Overall, I had a great time and I enjoyed every minute of my staying there, as it felt like meeting great friends!
I definitely recommend them for every workawayer interested in exploring that beautiful part of northern Germany and meeting two wonderful persons!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Doehyung stayed two weeks with us, and we absolutely enjoyed the time with him. He is hardworking, smart, friendly and considerate. Even though he didn’t have experience with tools he was a big help. We usually worked together and showed Doehyung what to do and how to do it. He was happy to learn new things and got better at those tasks every day.

I took a trip to europe for 3 months from Korea. I had decided to apply for my first workaway and spend my last 2 weeks with Karina&Volker and it became the best part of my Europe trip.
They're open minded and sincerely wanted to communicate with me and also respected my privacy during the stay.
I felt at ease when I had dinner with them, and
… read more could casually talk and have fun.
Volker and Karina always cared about my labor time to be under 4 hours a day. Works were not demanding, they were funny and fulfiling.
What I did during the stay were painting, fruit picking, wood chopping and demolishing walls for renovation.
-Where I visited
Baltic sea beach, you can see it in the photos of this post. July and August is the best period to visit.
National park Volker took me to, A big forest where you can see many animals like deers, birds and wolves.
Neustadt, Beautiful port village with beaches you can swim in.
Badestelle Seekamper See, A small lake in a forest. You can swim in the lake.
Karina&Volker's garden, It has great scenery. There are Apples and plums you can pick anytime. It is the best place to chill out.
-Inidividual experiences with Karina&Volker.
Karina knew many facts about their nations, cultures and issues under discussion in Germany.
We talked many things about differences and similiarities in Korea, Japan, Germany and Austrailia.
It was interesting and beneficial. Our discussion taught me how different the countries could be. But at the same time, I learned none of those countries is wrong and we all need to embrace different cultures and values.
Volker took me to many good places and during that time we talked about how our life were. He listened to my worry in my life. Not only were I able to visit good places but also I learned how I can live better life from his viewpoint.
The 2 weeks I spent there were unforgettable experience. I felt I became mature by experiences I had with hosts and community in the village.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Sabine only stayed for a week with us, but her help was great. She did some gardening as well as a couple of painting jobs outside.

The countryside is interesting to cycle und hike. Many small village feasts, flea markets etc. Theatre plays of the famous "Old Shatterhand and Winnetou" in Bad Segeberg of the author Karl May. Lübeck is a medieval UNESCO certified town. I had both: crowds of people at the Baltic Sea with lots of events and a few kilometres further pure nature with small lakes to swim in and lonely forests.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
