Descripción
Hello, my name is Llewellyn Kerver, and I am a 20 year old Male from South Africa. I am currently studying architecture, and learning Dutch in order to return to the Netherlands after I finish my diploma.

I am extremely outgoing and enthusiastic, and am willing to participate in next to any activity. I communicate openly and honestly. I am always happy to provide any type of help if someone needs it, and will always give my all.

I love gathering information on as many subjects as possible (even though I might never practically need some of it), exploring forested/rural lands, expanding my music library, meeting new and interesting people, having in depth conversations, trying local craft beers, trying local cuisine and experiencing what life might be like for others. I play the violin, and would love to discuss music/ music theory.

I have spent most of my life traveling around South Africa, and so far what I have seen outside of my beautiful homeland is Lesotho, Namibia, Bali, Romania, Greece, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. I hope to continue to visit unique and interesting places so that I might get a small sample of the culture, life and people there.

I spent an amazing 3 weeks on Keith's boat. Throughout the experience I helped with a handful of jobs, and I always had my skills honed with Keith's guidance. The work was never to strenuous and we would always break for lunch around 12. I found the amount of time I visited for (3 weeks) was just right for me, if you enjoy having time to yourself… read more

Llewellyn was a considerate guest, good company, willing and able to do some physically demanding tasks which now, sadly, challenge my physical capacity. His readiness to carry out repeat chores without having to be asked speaks to his consideration for others.

I had an absolutely amazing time staying with this family. I stayed for an unforgettable month, and was recieved with love and warmth from everybody in the household. I'd highly recommend this host to anyone who'd like to have a workaway experience that not only involves enjoyable work, but also being part of a household. The work was always… read more

Llewellyn was at our resort for over 4 months. This is the longest of all our volunteers up to now. He's been here through three seasons - winter, spring and summer and also survived the hardships of coronavirus lockdown.

Llewellyn is a friend to all the members of the staff and especially to me. His open, kind, friendly and thoughtful… read more

Where do I even begin? After spending 4 and a half months here, I can truly say I'll remember the experience for the rest of my life. From the Tatra mountains, to the staff at the resort, this is a place I'd recommend anyone travelling and out on an adventure spend some time at.

The day I arrived, I accidentally got off the bus one town to soon,… read more and so the manager (without complaint, I might add) drove to pick me up, this was the first taste of all the kindness that was yet to come. The manager as well as all the staff at the resort are some of the nicest people I've ever met. At first, I was worried my complete lack of polish would hinder my relationships with everyone there, but it did not at all. The manager stays on the property, and will join in on stuff when it happens. He's extremely knowledgeable on Polish history and culture, and is always more than happy to tell anyone whatever they'd like to know !

The work days go by fast when you spend them around people who are fun and genuine, and the work itself is nothing that was ever too difficult. Being able to go out and see the sheep first thing in the morning made dragging myself out of bed easier, though. Life for workawayers here is very relaxed, you may take what you'd like from the kitchen (within reason), and if you have the skill, then maybe even cook something of your own. A place to wash your clothes, a place to dry them, free Wi-Fi, a gym and even a sauna; it feels like you're somewhere between on holiday and at home.

There is lots to do in the area, and the entrance to the Tatra mountains is a one-minute walk from the resort. Busses can take you into Zakopane very easily (5 zloty), and taking a few day trip to Kraków is extremely easy, given you can ask to have your working days clumped together. As far as staying on the property goes, there are movies to watch, board games to play, a pool table, as well as a PS4 with a nice selection of games.

The highlights of my stay were being able to be around 4 adorable sheep (hopefully you get to meet Oreo), playing board games with the manager after work hours, going on few-hour long hikes in the Tatra mountains, having a bonfire with a few drinks, and the trips around the area (a lake, a thermal spa, etc...).

There's not much more I can think of to say other than that I highly recommend anyone thinking of coming here, does. It was truly an amazing and transformative experience for me, and I know that anyone else that might have a visit here will get the same awesome treatment I did.

Much love,
Llewellyn
