Who are motivated and just good to have around.

My time with this sweet family was truly a special time! I stayed during December 2020 and felt part of the family since day one. I will definitely return as a friend and helper when the time comes again.

The work was varied, interesting and fun-filled. The food was incredible and they were happy to open their kitchen to me :) Seeing the level of… read more commitment to produce their own organic food and taking the responsibility to produce it in a ethical way was inspiring. This is a productive family and they enjoy their freedom so being self-responsible and acting on ones own initiative is very important here.

Christian and Daniela have wonderful children and there wasn't one dull moment in the home. There wasn't a time together where the kids didn't make me laugh, they are such a joy! The house and property is beautiful self-built with natural, non- toxic materials and visiting the fish ponds with the tiny house was an idyllic experience. The walks into the woods were special, so immersion in the beautiful nature of this area was a constant undertaking. The room is semi-detached from the house with the entrance facing the garden which I appreciated as it offers both privacy and personal space while enjoying your own time where needed.

The incredible dog, Honey, is such a loyal companion. She will be at your side while outside working - feeding the animals and being a committing presence while cutting wood or moving around the various areas. She is constantly making sure everyone is together and happy. There is a calling for healthy integration to be included in the family as meals are mostly shared together around the dining table and the cultural exchange is rich. So other than being hosted as a Workaway, I truly felt like a family member. Being able to drive with the pick-up also contributed to the feeling of being needed and valued which made helping these hosts a joy.

The experience of living and working with this vibrant family was one I cherish and will not forget. Not to forget, of course, the energizing saunas after a good day of sharing and working was such a pleasure to have too.

All in all, this host has a lot more to offer and are happy to give more than expected if the commitment in energy exchange sits in integrity and kindness from you!

Thank you Christian, Daniela and kids!

Liebe grusse, Friedrich

Christian and Daniela are wonderful hosts, and I would highly recommend their lovely home to anyone in search of a positive "Workaway" experience. Their house is a little over four-hundred years old and is in outstanding condition as Christian utilizes time-tested construction methods and materials that continue to extend the life and… read more functionality of their house. They both are wonderful cooks and always went out of their way to provide me with healthy, nourishing meals. Their three lovely children (Hendrik, Jannik, and Elena) especially made my "Workaway" experience even more memorable as they were very welcoming, treating me like part of the family. Honey is their sweet, family dog and Loyd is a friendly barn cat.
Throughout my stay, I experienced a healthy lifestyle, powered by quality food within a comfortable environment. The work expected of me mostly involved basic farming chores. These daily activities included feeding and providing water for their goats, pigs (extremely friendly and cute), chickens and ducks. I also helped with watering plants, weeding and routine lawn maintenance like mowing the grass. Christian also introduced me to some aspects of farm living like processing animals for food. However, he never expected me to participate in any chore I wasn't absolutely willing to try out first. More importantly, he's a firm believer in treating all of their animals with the utmost respect and care.
He's also good at explaining how to do various types of labor that were new to me. For example, I learned how to work with an all-natural building material called Cobb (a combination of clay, sand and water) which is used as a plaster to coat the walls and ceilings. Cobb literally allows the walls to breathe, preventing mold and other forms of decay to occur. We also used lime paint to finish these porous surfaces. It's an all-natural, kid-friendly paint substitute (meaning no harmful chemicals).
Living with this family in the countryside gave me an authentic insight into Austrian culture and hospitality. During my free time, Christian and Daniela even included me in their extended family outings which mostly centered around really great food. Additionally, the people in the lovely village of Großrust (where their home is located) always made me feel welcomed and included.
Großrust is a very safe community and is especially nice for walking, hiking or even bike riding. It is also located near St. Pölten where you can find stores, restaurants and various other entertainment venues. Furthermore, the train station in St. Pölten makes regularly scheduled trips to Vienna as well as various other cities and is fast and fairly inexpensive.
I could go on about my "Workaway" experience but hope this review helps you make an informed choice should you decide to volunteer. All they ask in return is a willingness to learn and grow by having a "roll up your sleeves" attitude towards getting the work done. With three children, regular jobs and a small farm to tend to, they run a busy household and therefore appreciate open and honest communication. So, I would encourage you to simply do your homework and communicate any questions or concerns upfront to avoid any misunderstandings.
Ultimately, I can't thank them enough for the life changing experience they've given me. You truly do get back what you put out into the world.
Best wishes,
Alexander
