We really enjoyed Sana's exotic personality and appearance of a brave young girl from Pakistan.
She has bravely survived every family celebration and some family meetings. Besides the adults, also the kids loved her.
We visited the Burghaussen Ritterfest and briefly showed Ortenburg and other places like Pfarrkirchen.
She enjoyed talking with us… read more

I didn't know that an angel came with you - a very nice lady from NY - into the house. You are such a tender, lovely creature and you are full of life experience.
We have talked a lot about God and the world, our countries and the current problems. It was a very lively human exchange that you made it possible.
You have very thoroughly freed our… read more

What a wonderful time I had with Amanda and Peter! From the moment Peter picked me up at train station (with the warmest heartfelt energy) to the moment I arrived at the house and was once again greeted in the same way by Amanda (their energy fields are like a pair of angels wings that wrap around you and make you feel loved)…..I knew, I needed… read more

Paul and Christina were here from 28.9. till 17.10. 2016. Both are good, warmhearted people. Paul is charming, tough and a good helper "in the spirit of workaway", (as Linda would say). It was an interesting experience to have his little daughter (with Birte) with us, this days I never will forget. Wish him all the best in future with seeing his… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (David) pour l'hôte

What a happy time we had staying with Peter and Amanda.
A warm reception by Peter at the train station before stopping off to buy groceries - a great start for us. Amanda also greeted us with a warm hug and was keen to practice her English, learn new phrases and make us feel at home.They certainly succeeded in doing that.
Working times and… read more breaks were flexible, according to the projects and weather - they provided very good coffee (so appreciated) , breads, wholesome bio/ vegetarian meals and it was special to enjoy wine with some of our lunches. Amanda was keen to include a variety of foods according to our preference as well. We enjoyed eating lunch outside in the sunshine, making the most of the peaceful rural environment.

David de-rusted a chain sculpture and painted another, enjoyed pruning two large cherry trees with Peter and fixed the mower before mowing the lawns.
Linda enjoyed helping Amanda with various domestic tasks, making a delicious apple strudel and collecting produce. She also joined Amanda on a couple of rural walks, learning about the local families, history and lifestyle.
Located in the lovely spa area of Bavaria Germany, this location is perfect for exploring the region and assisting friendly hosts.

Enjoyable activities included; meeting family members and accompanying them to Burghausen Castle followed by swimming at the nearby spa pools where David appreciated a 50m indoor pool for his laps,also visits to the local hot pools/spas, cycling (by the way- the two best bikes since leaving NZ) to nearby villages, and a fabulous day trip to Passau (we appreciated being able to take the cycles on the regional train).

We also appreciated being able to talk openly about history, family experiences, travels and we shared much fun and laughter throughout our stay.
Peter's English steadily improved, but our German remained basic! Room for improvement for the Kiwis.

Peter and Amanda were caring and friendly hosts.They were keen to provide us with a well balanced stay.

We thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wishes to be included as family, embracing the spirit of Workaway.
Kindest Regards
Linda and David - New Zealand

Amanda - we admire your determination to progress with your mobility, catering for helpers and having such an inquiring mind. Peter -you provide positive support, patience and tolerance making a lovely combination for a couple.

Thank you both - we have special memories of our time with you.
