Análisis, comentarios y calificaciones de Workaway - page 2

Ha sido un hermoso tiempo en Palomino con Ángela y Angela María te hacen sentir como en casa, te explican todo antes de que lo hagas, están muy pendiente de si necesitas algo y son muy amables, la comida es muy rica y tienes snacks en el turno. Las actividades son principalmente jardinería (replantear, sacar los mentes, podar con maquina) te dan los materiales de protección, y limpieza cosas muy básicas, son 5 horas al día 5 días a la semana. Tienen piscina y los horarios están bien para tener la el resto del día libre, tiene una habitación privada solo para ti

If you love animals and are vegan, look no further: this is the place! I adored all the animals. They all have a piece of my heart, from the newest residents A’a and Mischief to the sanctuary elders like lovely Prince and darling Yow Yow. Shawna and Maria are incredibly kind, thoughtful, considerate, understanding and generous. They are happy to answer any questions and show you everything the Hawaiian way whereby you learn by watching first how it’s done and then doing it yourself. The sanctuary is a super intentional, well organised, clean, tidy and a peaceful place for both the animals and the humans. The thought and care put into the animals and humans experience is incredible. They have thought of absolutely everything from providing wellies so you don’t have to worry about your luggage/baggage allowance to provinding snorkelling gear, beach towels and beach bags whenever you have free time. They respect and appreciate volunteers time and never went even a minute over the allocated work time. I loved just hanging out at the sanctuary during my free time but the local town is neat too, the library, post office, stores, cafes, etc are all within walking distance. The only danger is if you try the brownies at Kayas… financial decimation is a real likelihood. Maria and Shawna have created such a special place where all the animals get to just be themselves and live their lives peacefully. At the sanctuary, everybody who calls it home is treated with love, kindness and are given the highest level of care. Maria and Shawna are definitely doing their part in helping to make the World a better place! Thank you for letting me lend a hand for a little while and seeing what the World could be for the animals we live alongside! I signed up to Workaway in the hopes of getting to come here, and I had the best time here and I can’t wait to hopefully come back! They’ve really set the bar high for what Workaway should be like! If they’re happy to have you at the sanctuary: take the opportunity with both hands! ( P. S . A huge thank you for all the Mac n cheese! Best Mac n cheese I’ve had!!)

Esta ha sido mi primera experiencia en cuanto a Workaway se refiere, y no podría haber terminado más contento. He estado casi dos meses allí trabajando, conviviendo y disfrutando mucho del día a día. Las personas que conoces son una parte fundamental de la experiencia. Al estar en constante convivencia, acabas haciendo muy buenas migas, lo que hace que el tiempo pase aún más rápido. En gran parte, esto también se debe a la buena gestión de Paco a la hora de elegir a la gente para el proyecto. En aquí es difícil aburrirse. Siempre hay algo que hacer: desde explorar cuevas o escalar, hasta recorrer el auténtico e impresionante entorno asturiano. Al final, cuando te toca irte, te quedas con la sensación de que aún te faltan cosas por hacer. Si tienes la oportunidad de venir estoy convencido que lo vas a disfrutar mucho. Sin duda, es una experiencia totalmente recomendable.

We highly recommend Naoki as both a volunteer and an educator. During his stay, he consistently demonstrated a genuine openness to learning about the local culture, gastronomy, and everyday life, both within the school environment and beyond. He shared his own culture generously with both our host family and the broader community. His active participation in classes was especially appreciated by the students, who genuinely enjoyed and benefited from his presence. Through his initiative, our community had the opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Japanese sushi, write their names in Japanese, and explore many other aspects of cultural exchange. Naoki brings a rare combination of professionalism, warmth, and adaptability. He is the kind of person people naturally enjoy being around, and his presence creates a positive and engaging environment wherever he goes. We totally recommend him with full confidence, both as a human being and as a volunteer in educational settings. Any host or institution would be fortunate to have him.

Marianna was a ray of sunshine during her stay with us, being the kind, positive, reliable, curious, caring and hard-working person she is. She was thrown into the deep end of the pool without much preparation, but she was learning fast, always gave her best, and became a fantastic member of our tiny team both in a personal and a professional sense. You'll be really happy to host her as well, but we want her back from November :D

I was very happy to welcome Aoefi one week! She was always ready to help ,and want to do well what she have to do ,she Can come again at my home if and when she want !!

Ellie is a sociable, communicative, and proactive person who is always ready to help! :) It is clear that she loves animals and has no qualms about 'getting her hands dirty' if necessary. Even though she didn't have prior experience with subcutaneous injections, she didn't hesitate to do them, nor did she get flustered if the administration wasn't as easy as expected. She was always patient with Simi when he grumbled a bit. She remained steady and followed through with the procedure. She was very careful of the fact that he is an older cat. =) The same went for Wicca—whenever she realized Ellie was trying to give her a pill, Ellie would try different ways to make sure she took it! At all times, she respected our cats' boundaries and quickly learned how far she could push! ;) When we got home, the apartment was in perfect condition, and our kitties were very well cared for—it was obvious they were very comfortable with her! :) During our days together, we had the chance to try her 'guacamelie,' and I have to say, it’s delicious! She also welcomed us back with a lovely dish featuring ingredients that were new to us! :) She also sent us daily photos so we could see how they were doing! If you need a responsible and hardworking person, you can count on Ellie! We’ve truly found a new friend! :) You know you have a room waiting for you in A Coruña! :)

Tomorrow i ll see Alexis and Laure and I will talk about you !!!

Ava has now joined us for the second time on the farm, and that alone already says a lot. It’s always a special sign when someone chooses to come back, and with Ava we were genuinely happy to welcome her again into the project. She is an incredibly dedicated and reliable worker, consistently bringing a great attitude to every task. Whether working independently or as part of a team, Ava approaches everything with care, energy, and a real sense of responsibility. She quickly understands what needs to be done and carries it out with both efficiency and attention to detail. Beyond her work, Ava is a truly lovely presence in the community. She connects naturally with other volunteers, contributes to a positive and supportive atmosphere, and is always kind, respectful, and easy to be around. Just like we experienced last year, she brings a calm, grounded energy that fits perfectly with life on the farm. Having Ava here again felt very natural—like she was already part of the place. We’re very grateful for her contribution and would welcome her back anytime without hesitation. Highly recommended to any host looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful to share a project with.

Disfrute mucho de mi tiempo acá. Hacíamos mucho menos voluntariado de lo que esperaba porque Alan nos dejó ir por muchas caminatas. Alan y Dionny y todos los de más aquí son muy amables y yo les recomiendo este lugar 100%!

I had a wonderful time at the finca. Klara, Agustin and Saila are very welcoming and make you feel a part of the family from the very first moment. The atmosphere in the mountains is very relaxed and the work schedule is flexible. With your free time, you can learn all about the coffee they produce and also visit the beautiful town of Jericó nearby. I would highly recommend this project to others. Thank you for everything!

Elena joined in here for a while, and I think it was nice and cosy. She helps in where needed, and is on the right place. Especially nice attention and care to the dogs, sheep, cat, parrot and chicken. I always enjoy when shyness fade away a little :) She is always welcome back, for and update on the tv bench and farmly adventures, and recommended for other hosts.

I stayed at Jackie's for a month between Feb and March, and I can without a doubt say it was the craziest, funniest, and coolest (-36C at times) trip I’ll probably ever have! It was great fun, but certainly hard work. I think when you are working every day with no rest days you forget to appreciate just how beautiful the landscape is, the amount of culture there is to take in, and how awesome Jackie and her family are- but having been back in the UK for a month now, every time I tell stories it just sounds crazier and crazier! We did lots of fun stuff, like bingo, teaparties, painting competitions and visiting nearby towns, but even when you aren’t out or seeing people, there are always things to keep you busy. Jackie and I painted the upstairs on my weekend alone and ended up having a rave! (safety third!) The animals are hilarious! I adored the inside cats, particularly Ginger, and the sheep are totally cute!! I was sad to miss lambing season :( BUT Jackie took us round some of the neighboring farms to see lambs and calves so she really makes sure to give you the full experience. I had an absolute blast here, made some great friends and memories, and would recommend Jackie and her family every time! Thank you for an awesome experience!!

I stayed with Carol for just one week but I had such a great time I wish I could have stayed longer! I mostly helped with the restauration of a new property including digging up new vegetable beds, cementing and overall clean up which was a lot of fun and the workload was very fair. The rest of the day I either explored the truly stunning surroundings of Cherven or spent time with Carols dog Mongul or one of her three cats which are all way too cute :) Also Carol is an excellent cook and prepared a lot of delicious meals while I was there! Overall I would highly recommend staying with Carol :)

Fun place for a sense of community and cultural exchange. The work is more demanding than other workaways but also more fulfilling

Matti & Sophia were great helpers, tackling a variety of tasks. They looked after everything very well while we were away for work off site, We enjoyed getting to know them. Highly recommended!

It has been a great pleasure working with Delia. She is super sincere about her work. You can easily rely on her. She is extremely talented, and is gifted with true talent of making every one comfortable around her. She mingled very well with people around in our village. I strongly recommend her for volunteering. Trust me she is definitely worth taking the bet. Wish you an amazing journey ahead. Remember you always have a home in India.

Maite, It was a great pleasure to host you and receive your help. It was a brief -just a few days- but beautiful and meaningful sharing. We do have many common interests -philosophy and psychology, crafts and arts, nature and personal development- so it was great that our life’s paths crossed. I'm sure your energy and skills will be very supportive to any workaway host, as you are smart and hard-working, helpful and kind. I wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life that you have courageously started. ¡Muchas gracias y hasta la próxima, querida! :) Blai

I very much enjoyed the time Diego was here, he is a quiet, friendly and diligent young man, always pleasant to be with. No matter which task, he just did it. He rescued me when the snow started falling, having no tractor for a couple days, BIG BIG THANKS! I also enjoyed preparing meals for us, he liked everything I cooked :-) I hope the horse sense he learned here will stay with him and wish him all the best for his further travels! Come back any time! Luna waits for you ;-)
