Taking Theo for walks was a great way to explore the local area, and I borrowed a bike to visit Sittard for the market and to head onwards to Maastricht. It's a great part of the world and I'm already thinking about how I can get back (with my bike) in the future!

Besides gardening and helping at their wine/barbecue festival, I took their dog Theo out for walks, looked after baby Jonah and played with their sons Noah and Mika. The workload was not heavy at all and both Alwin and Stephanie told me to take regular breaks. Furthermore, Alwin took me to Aachen for a day and his mother showed me around Tüddern by bike. This was my first Work Away experience and it was a success. I hope to see them again in the future. Until then, stay healthy and happy!

My workaway experience with Alwin, Stephanie, Noah, Mika and Jonah was great! Thank you so much.

The work consisted of different tasks, mostly in the garden. My guess is that it varies a lot, depending on the season. I cleaned out a wood stock, removed weed out of the gardens and we prepared the garden for the sowing in spring. Working alone or together with Alwin and his son Noah was gratifying. I am happy with the results and wish you good luck with the further work!

Sharing over 3 weeks with the extended family has been a fulfilled, rewarding and unforgettable experience for me. All of them opened me not just the house but also their hearts, allowing me to file like I have a German home now.
Witnessing the dramatic changes of the spring and all the blooming was amazing. And weather, even though a bit

But one of the things that impress me the most was the commitment with gardening tasks and home-involvement chores that such lovely kids display thanks to the constant support of their parents. That was pretty inspired for me, as well the kindness and attitude toward hard work of the elders, that where always happy to let me help them with their chores and even had a lot of patience with my very limited German. That been said, chatting with my hosts, when they have some time once the kids were on bed, really allowed me to understand much better their culture and traditions, which was one the main goals of my volunteering.

Alwin and Stephanie are so kind. I really enjoyed my time there. The kids are so cute, little balls of energy that are so fun to play with. The work was fair and didn't take long - sweeping the courtyard, picking apples, washing windows etc. They made every effort to include me in every day life by taking me to bbq's, family dinners, soccer games,

It is hard to describe Francesca. In a few words: She is great! She is always there where you need help. The kids felt in love with her. Mika is still asking when Francesca is coming back. Take her if you get the chance to host her...

Storey and Kate stayed with us for two weeks this winter. It was really great to have them around. The kids loved to play with both of them and they are really hard-working. You always have a place in our house and our hearts. Come back for a visit or stay if you are in our area again...

This was our first workaway experience, and we loved it!
We stayed with Alwin and Stephanie for a bit over two weeks, and they really made us feel like family, like including us in family dinners/events, playing board games or foosball or just talking over a few drinks, they're really nice people, they're also great cooks the food was great.
the

their two kids Noah and Mika are really cute, and never a dull moment when they're around.
we definitely recommend the Schimtz as host.
look forward to seeing you guys again, cheers!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

This was my first Workaway experience and I am so grateful it was with this Family; they are experienced travellers and experienced hosts who include you in their busy daily lives and have excellent tips on exploring the surrounding areas. The work was always fair and not too difficult; for example gardening (raking leaves), washing windows,

The two boys Noah and Mika are gorgeous and energetic; I loved it when Noah would ask his mum how to say things to me in English. The little village is beautiful and you can easily ride a bike to the Netherlands within minutes - an excellent way to explore the nearby cities of Sittard, Maastricht and Aachen. I was invited to a few family lunches/dinners/birthday party nearby, which was an outstanding way to experience genuine daily life in Germany; their relatives that live nearby are also lovely people who made me feel very welcome. I am so grateful for the stay and for all the advice and chats I had with the family. I already miss their pets Obelix and Mira! I can highly recommend them as hosts :)Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
