Análisis, comentarios y calificaciones de Workaway - page 3

Fue una experiencia maravillosa con Camila, Bernardo y Benjamín (su hijo). ¡Gracias a ellos por todo! ¡Me sentí como en casa! La casa es muy bonita y tenía mi propia habitación con baño privado. Me encantó ayudar en el proyecto de pintar los establos y ver el antes y el después. Tenía ganas de seguir para ver el resultado final. Tuve la oportunidad de montar a caballo gracias a ellos, ¡siempre recordaré esos momentos! Si tienes dudas, no lo pienses más, no te vas a arrepentir, sino que tendrás un montón de recuerdos inolvidables.

Franklin's finca is a mix of the US experience and a Central American one thanks to Angel who takes care of the garden and organizes volunteer work. The volunteer quarters are nice and private. It is real, phyisical finca work here, which is a nice workout My favorite part of the finca was the daily sight of the agouti eating fruits on the ground

Roushana stayed with me last summer for 2 weeks more or less whilst it was super hot. It is difficult to work in those conditions therefor Roushana chose to work later in the day after the sun has set and removed an awful lot of weeds for me. She s hardworking and knowledgable. She s a very trustworthy and kind person, I d love to have her back as workawayer or housesitter.

I had an amazing experience volunteering here and can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, Mark and Mint made me feel incredibly welcome. They are genuine, kind, and thoughtful hosts who really go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Whether it’s taking you out for local food, showing you around Phitsanulok, or simply having great conversations, you feel like more than a volunteer—you feel like a part of the family. The work itself is very easy and straightforward. Mark explains everything clearly and shows you exactly what needs to be done so there’s never any confusion. It’s best to be proactive though—if you see something that needs doing, just jump in and help out. Teaching was a real highlight. The classes are interactive and fun, focused on conversational English. We covered engaging topics like describing people’s clothing, along with a range of useful and interesting subjects that really get you thinking and speaking. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere and family. It’s relaxed, positive, and social, and you can tell a lot of care has gone into creating it. Mark and Mint are also incredibly flexible and social and can tell you anything you might want to know about Phitsanulok or Thailand, making the whole experience even better. Phitsanulok ended up becoming my favourite city in Thailand. It has a great local feel, amazing food, and with Mark showing you around, you get to see parts you never would otherwise, if you get the chance try to local radish dish!!! Overall, this was a truly special experience. I’m very grateful for the time here and would happily come back again. I can't thank Mark and Mint enough for the time I spent here, a core memory I'll never forget. I can't wait to come back again!!!

My two weeks here were absolutely wonderful, especially since I had just arrived in Australia and everything was so new to me. Talking with Katie and playing with Delilah and Freddie really helped me get used to hearing English every day. Snippy was also incredibly sweet and accepted me right away. As a fellow veterinarian, Katie taught me so many valuable things that will be incredibly helpful for my future career. Even though my English wasn't perfect, she was always incredibly kind and spoke in a way that was easy for me to understand. I really hope I was able to be of good help to her during my stay. Thank you for such a warm welcome! I look forward to seeing the whole family again someday—including Dave and Tiko, even though I couldn't meet them this time—when the kids have grown up and my English has improved. Using this precious experience as a stepping stone, I will do my best to work with horses here in Australia!

Me and Leah had a great time staying here during May. We were with 3 other volunteers so the work was pretty light. The animals are very sweet and so is the family. We only had a few family meals (which were delicious) so most of the time had to cook for ourselves in our seperate kitchen. They gave us 20€ a week for food. It's clear that Salvatore works very hard and is constantly on the go, but he will still find time to help you if you need it. Overall I would recommend! Especially if you like to hang out with animals all day.

Dave & Aune are lovely people with so much to teach you if you're open. I had am amazing time helping on their property-- it's absolutely beautiful the nature, the yoga shala, the gardens, everywhere is so well taken care of and intentional. They are very fair hosts, they always came to make sure I knew when my work for the day was over and to drive me back to the kitchen for lunch. Speaking of food the dinners & cakes Aune made were not only delicious but healing- I felt better, after a few days of eating her incredibly food. I am so grateful for my time at Mt Jukes, even after a short 12 days I felt at home here. Thank you Dave & Aune for a beautiful time, I will be back for mango season someday:)

Natasha is very capable. She would take on tasks on her own, with only as much discussion from me as was absolutely needed, and do the tasks well. She contributed well to all aspects of her stay. Natasha communicates clearly and well. All the best to you, Natasha

This was my first workaway stay and it was just ideal, had a great experience. The family's really friendly and easy going. The accommodation was homey and cosy. Its a beautiful area and the work was great, clearing brush and planting native trees. Would definitely stay with them again. Thanks again guys.

I have only positive things to say about my experience here! Mrs. Erna, the main coordinator for this program, is an incredible woman, and her family, the school , and the local community are all beyond welcoming and kind. I stayed in Pangkalpinang for around 40 days, and I was able to meet many people and try many new things. Throughout my time there, my main responsibilities revolved around practicing conversational English with students and visiting various schools in the area. During a normal week, the school days ran from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm (Monday through Friday). While the lessons were different depending on the class, I was typically involved in giving feedback to students, helping them practice their conversation, grading assignments, and playing games with them. Since I came during the end of the school year, the students were mainly giving their final projects in class. These projects revolved around presenting on either a piece of literature or an aspect of Indonesian culture. Within the project, the students had to organize a presentation, drama, game, and several other activities to explain their topic in English. I really enjoyed watching these projects, and I was very impressed with the creativity and standard of English the students demonstrated. I was also asked to give a small presentation on my own culture and share my experiences with many of the English classes. All of the staff and students are extremely inviting and excited to meet volunteers. I never felt anything but welcomed by them. While the students were shy sometimes, they were also very curious about different cultures and were happy to talk and ask questions once they were familiar with me. On weekends and during free time, I was able to explore many of the beautiful beaches, hiking spots, and local gathering places. Mrs. Erna was also very involved in helping me try new foods and taking me to travel to other parts of the island. I particularly loved hanging out with Mrs. Erna and her family. They constantly invited me to go out with them, and Mrs. Erna always made sure that I felt at home and had everything I could possibly need. She is a very organized, joyful, and easy person to get along with. I have no doubt that other volunteers will have a positive experience meeting with her. Mrs. Erna was also very helpful when I needed to obtain a C6 social visa. She went to the immigration office several times for me to help get all the correct documents and make sure everything went smoothly. Throughout the weekdays, I stayed at my own one-room apartment in a faculty dormitory that is next to the school. The accommodations were nice, and the room was clean and well kept with its own AC unit, western toilet, closet, and bed. The apartment is only a 2 min walk from the school, so it was very easy to go to school in the morning. On the weekends, I got the opportunity to stay at Mrs. Erna’s house and spend Saturday and Sunday with her family. The city of Pangkalpinang is also nice with many restaurants, coffee shops, local markets, and parks to visit. Indonesian people are very kind and generous, and their culture is fascinating to learn about. Using motorbikes is the most common way to get around the city. I typically just rode with Mrs. Erna or one of her kids, or I used the taxi service (Grab or Gojek) that is available here. Overall, I would rate my experience here as excellent. The people, community, and environment are wonderful. The accommodations are comfortable. The food is amazing. Additionally, there are many beautiful places to explore, whether you like the mountains, beach, or the city. I would 100% recommend this program to other Workawayers!

Tess was amazing to have have around, super smart and willing to learn new things!

He is very respectful. Nice guy. He helped chores so well.

Husna is a good and warm person. She is a teacher of joyful students with big smile and laugh whom I share experience and doing things together. The students are respectful and super enthusiastic. Beside teaching, she also take me to have local experiences like climbing coconut trees, trying to peel fresh coconut which we just took, seeing how bricks made. Husna also efforts to take us to some places like beautiful river, mountain, and waterfalls. Husna lives in a village with natural views, and full of culture. There are mountain, waterfall, river, and hot springs nearby. It's recommended for you who like nature and warm local lifestyle

Lovely stay with Rob and Tarn, always available and kind. It was a great experience to work in the farm and sharing stories at dinner time. All the best!

I had such a wonderful time staying with Ged and Kathy. From the very beginning, they made me feel incredibly welcome and at home. Their farm is a beautiful place, and it was a real pleasure to spend time there. The horses are absolutely amazing – well cared for, friendly, and clearly loved. It was a privilege to be around them and learn more about life on the farm. I truly appreciate the kindness, generosity, and hospitality that Ged and Kathy showed me during my stay. They created such a warm and positive environment, and I enjoyed every moment of my time there. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying with Ged and Kathy to anyone looking for an authentic, enjoyable, and memorable farm experience. Thank you both so much for everything – I will always look back on my time there with fond memories.

Dear Laura and Clement, Thank you so much for staying with us for about one week. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you for sharing, cooking, and helping with cleaning. We were very happy to host you and your family. You showed us that it is possible to travel with children and enjoy new experiences together. We really appreciate the effort and spirit that you both have. Thank you for coming to help us on the farm. We truly appreciate all your support and the time you spent with us. We wish you and your family good luck, safe travels, and many wonderful adventures ahead. Thank you, Sophea and Hiro

Elli was a great help around the property. She was happy to help with work in the forest, and did a great job in the garden.

I really enjoyed having Stevie and Jade around. Together and separately they were good company at meals and other times. Willing to help with everyday tasks they made my life easier during their stay.

This was my first Workaway and one of the best experiences of my life. Martel and Salvador are extremely welcoming and friendly and I will forever be grateful for the experience they gave me. the ranch is gorgeous, the dogs and cat are sweet, watering the plants is peaceful, and the caretaker Juan Pablo is kind. I highly recommend staying at the ranch.
